About
Ping Pong Beer Bar 1 is one of a short run of near-identical “Ping Pong” beer bars — numbered 1, 2 and 3 — sitting a few doors apart on the Soi Chom Thian 7 stretch off Jomtien Second Road, south of the main Jomtien Beach strip. This isn’t a polished cocktail bar or a beach club; it’s the classic small Thai beer bar format — open-air, plastic furniture, cold bottled beer, hostess-style service, and a regular crowd of expats and returning tourists who know exactly what they’re getting.
Restaurant Guru lists Ping Pong Beer Bar (1) with a 4.1 out of 5 rating from ten reviews, which for this kind of bar is a genuinely useful signal — it means real people have sat down, had a drink, and come back to leave feedback, rather than the bar existing only as an unclaimed map pin. Reviews describe friendly service on a good night, though a few visitors have flagged confusion around bills or unexpected charges, which is worth knowing before you sit down.
What to expect
Don’t expect a menu card or a wine list. This is a bar built around cold beer, spirits and conversation, with the TV usually on and staff working the room. It gets a mixed but mostly older, mostly male crowd of regulars and first-timers pulled in by the soi’s cluster of similar bars — Ping Pong 1, 2 and 3 sit close enough together that people often bar-hop between them over a night. There’s free street parking nearby and toilets on site, both useful details for a bar this size.
Because it’s a small, independently run venue, opening hours aren’t published anywhere official. Bars like this on Soi Chom Thian 7 typically open in the early evening and run until the crowd thins out, but the safest approach is to treat “evening onward” as a guide rather than a guarantee.

Good to know
This is a small, family-run-style beer bar rather than a branded venue, so don’t expect a website, a booking line or a fixed price list — and don’t be shy about confirming your tab as you go, since that’s the one recurring complaint in reviews. If you’re looking for a specific bar on this soi, note there are two more “Ping Pong” bars close by (2 and 3) that are separate, unaffiliated listings on this site.

Check before relying

- Hours aren't formally listed anywhere — it's the kind of bar you turn up to rather than plan around

Frequently asked questions
Is there a dress code at Ping Pong Beer Bar 1?
No — it's a casual, open-air beer bar. Shorts, t-shirts and flip-flops are completely normal.
Is it OK to bring kids?
It's an adult-oriented evening beer bar with hostess-style service, so it's not a place to bring children. It suits solo travellers, couples and groups of friends looking for a low-key drink.
Do I need to book ahead?
No booking system exists that we could find — it's a walk-in bar. Being one of several 'Ping Pong' bars on the same short soi, just look for the numbered sign if you're meeting someone here specifically.
What's on the menu, and what does it cost?
Like most small beer bars on this soi, there's no published menu or price sheet online. Expect the usual lineup — bottled Chang, Singha or Leo, spirits by the shot or bottle, maybe a few bar snacks — at typical Jomtien beer-bar prices. Confirm prices when you order, since a few reviewers have flagged mix-ups over bills.
How do I get to Ping Pong Beer Bar 1?
It's on the Soi Chom Thian 7 stretch off Jomtien Second Road, a short Grab or motorbike-taxi ride south of central Jomtien Beach Road. There's free street parking if you're driving yourself.
