Chitbeer — Restaurant in Pak Kret District

Has achieved legendary status with its long and colourful history of defying laws in relation to the legal production of commercialised homebrewing. The venue is plain fantastic – a rickety bar located right on the canal connecting with the Chao Phraya river around the island of Ko Kret. But here in lies the one downfall of Chit Beer……..it’s an absolute buggar to get to. Best to get your own way (taxi or own car) to Wat Klangkred on the ‘mainland’ and then catch a 4 min taxi ferry across to the bar (about 15 baht). The journey from anywhere Central in Bangkok to Wat Klangkred is likely to be at least 30 minutes so well worth making a day of it. Packed to the rafters in a Saturday with a very mixed crowd (mostly Thai). Beers are very very cheap for Thailand (say 150 baht for 400ml). 8 to 10 beers on tap at anyone time with half devoted to the house.

Hidden gem for beer enthusiasts. Chit Beer serves home brewed craft beer from tap and bottle. You will find a bunch of beer lovers from around the world (sometimes foreigners take over the place !) so you can expect friendly and casual atmosphere there.

The owner, Mr. Chit (or Khun Chit, P'Chit) is a Thai craft beer iconic. He is also recognized as a master of Thai craft beer (you may search his info on the internet).

The place is located in Koh Kret (Kret island, small island on the Chao Praya river) so you need to take a ferry, 5 mins from main land, costing only THB 2 or around USD 0.05 per trip.

Chit Beer opens only on weekends and the place can be super crowded from 3 pm onward. Sipping beer with sunset view is strongly recommended.

Ferry stops at 9 PM, but local boat taxi is available till midnight.

Chitbeer in Koh kret is an absolute craft beer haven. Have wanted to visit here for some years but never quite made it... Arriving at 5 pm, the place was already bustling, with every inch occupied by beer lovers. There's about 10 beers on tap which are rotating and bottle ones too. What really aced the experience is the riverside chao phraya view, perfect for a sundowner. The atmosphere was vibrant and lively with the live band. While finding any standing & sitting space was a challenge the experience was well worth it. If you're a beer lover looking for unique flavors and a lively ambiance, this is a must visit. However, do note that a short boat ride is required to cross the river. Like in...
