Khon Kaen Nightlife
This page is currently being updated, so the information is not complete. For the most current and up to date information on the nightlife of Khon Kaen, it is recommended you visit the KhonKaen.com Discussion Forum.
The nightlife skyline of Khon Kaen, as with any Thai city, changes frequently. A night spot that is popular one day may become yesterday's news at the blink of an eye. It would be impossible to list every bar, dance club, massage parlor, or other entertainment venue within the city of Khon Kaen. Some of the more popular, permanent night spots will be listed within these pages. Locations that are popular with local expats will also be listed.
The nightlife of Khon Kaen cannot be compared to popular tourist areas such as Bangkok or Pattaya. If you are looking for rows and rows of beer bars stocked with working girls, then the nightlife of Khon Kaen will be a great disappointment. If you are looking for a subdued, friendly atmosphere, then Khon Kaen has much to offer.
The establishments below certainly are not a complete listing of nightspots. The best way to discover Khon Kaen is to walk out your door and experience what the city has to offer. The businesses shown below are listed in alphabetical order.

Beer Gardens/Night Plazas:
- Hi-Tech Night Garden is made up of numerous bars along a soi that has been turned into a garden-style lane. Some of the bars offer live bands as entertainment.
- Kronen Brauhaus offers German cuisine and home-brewed beer crafted by KhonKaen.com forum member Braeu. Stop in and sample the fruits of his labor.
- Nate Nate Plaza is most likely the closest venue that Khon Kaen offers that compares to Bangkok and Pattaya beer bars. Nate Night is a small, twisting soi that has numerous beer and karaoke bars. The atmosphere does not come close to beer bars in tourist areas of Thailand. Very little english is spoken, but if you can speak some Thai, it can be an enjoyable place to visit.
- Nate Nate Plaza is also home to Khon Kaen's only A-Go-Go bar. Speaking from experience, it is not worth visiting. Dark, dank, and nasty are the only words that can describe this place. If you feel you must visit, at least stop at the Silver Bullet Saloon, located directly below Nate Night A-Go-Go. Khun Kohp will ensure you are well taken care of by her staff, and pad your bill accordingly.
