Fancy a Drink? Explore Bangkok's Bar Scene

#FindThePhotoBooth

Khlong Toei, Bangkok

If you’re familiar with the masterminds behind The Locker Room, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to hear that they’re back with a new hidden bar, located in Sukhumvit Soi 11. Don’t bother using a GPS to find this place – no navigation tips will come up. But looking for it is half the fun!

Keep your eyes peeled for the second floor of a sports bar adjacent to the Grand President Hotel on Soi 11. Snap a few selfies on the photobooth as you figure out how to enter – and take as many as you like! We recommend coming back for more photos once you’ve had a few drinks.

Two menus are available at #FindThePhotoBooth – a list of classic cocktails, and another full of original Thai creations. Our favorite drink here, Bond Loved Jasmine, is an elegant twist on the iconic Vesper martini –  now mixed with jasmine-infused vermouth and chrysanthemum bitters.

Mahanakhon Bangkok SkyBar

Bang Rak, Bangkok

High above the ground, Mahanakhon Bangkok SkyBar prides itself as the tallest dining landmark in Thailand. This restaurant-slash-bar promises an escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. How does a 5-star culinary experience with a breathtaking view sound to you? 

The indoor white marble bar area serves an extensive list of drinks, including over 100 curated wines with an emphasis on natural wines. On the top of our list is their sparkling coffee cocktail; the perfect after-dinner drink, lovingly curated by Swedish mixologists Dannie and Bennie Sorum (the team behind Rocket Coffeebar).

Located on the 76th floor of the King Power Mahanakhon skyscraper, you can catch the sunset here on the glass-paneled floors of the Skywalk. Complimentary free entrance after your meal!

Tropic City

Bang Rak, Bangkok

Thailand’s first tropical cocktail bar exudes chill. Situated in Bangkok’s up & coming Charoen Krung area, you’ll be able to get a taste of high quality, unique concoctions – many inspired by the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Flowery motifs, Portuguese azulejo tiles and mid-century furniture greet you in a tasteful blend of exotic themes. While this bar is rum-heavy, don’t be deterred! They have a nice selection of gin and whiskey-based mixtures as well. 

The piña colada-style Cane Suggah will surely have you reminiscing about beach days. Its blissful marriage of sugar apple with coconut, Pisco Demonios, Chalong Bay Cinnamon, agave syrup and orange juice already has us foaming at the mouth! If you’re not a fan of juices, though, we recommend their KL to BKK – straightforward Jamaican rum with Campari, blended with a spice-infused pineapple syrup. 

La Casa Nostra

Sathon, Bangkok

Fancy a dinner date somewhere more secluded? La Casa Nostra provides rustic, romantic ambience that you can’t find anywhere else in Bangkok. Located on Soi Goethe in Sathorn, this authentic Italian restaurant and wine bar will have you returning multiple times for its comfortable atmosphere and excellent service. 

One of the highlights of the overall dining experience includes a trip down to their very own walk-in cellar. Pick out your own wine with the assistance of the resident sommelier; to dine-in, to take home, or to be delivered to your doorstep.

Chefs Alessandro Frau (of the legendary Acqua Restaurant in Phuket) and Nino Scognamillo believe in upholding the standard of simple yet elegant dishes. Let your taste buds take you to Sicily with their delectable specialties.

Tep Bar

Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Bangkok

Hailed as the Cultural Bar of Thailand, Tep Bar is one of the latest additions to the nightlife scene in Chinatown. The founder, Asawin Rojmethatawee, has a mission to add modern twists to Thailand’s home-brewed herbal liquors, making familiar traditional brews zesty and exciting. Catch musicians taking the stage to play cultural instruments up-close and personal. Surely, after one visit here, you’ll come to appreciate the beauty and richness of Thai culture.

Staying true to the theme, Tep Bar’s drink list is fully scripted with names and terms used in ancient Thai literature. You’ll find a good line of home-infused ya dong (Thai herbal whiskey), as well as their signature set of three shots – Pra ApaimaneeRatchasee Kamram (Roaring Lion), and Phaya Suea Khrong (King of Tiger).

  1. 폰테크
    폰테크라는 방식은 현금이 빠르게 필요할 때 많이 찾는 방식으로 소개됩니다. 최근 들어 비대면 진행, 당일 입금, 미납요금 대납, 전국 상담 같은 요소가 함께 붙으면서 안내 문구도 늘어났습니다. 다만 진행을 알아볼 때는 빠르다는 말보다 진행 구조를 먼저 봐야 합니다. 어떤 절차로 접수되고 진행되고 입금되는지 보는 것이 우선입니다.

    비대면 방식의 폰테크는 방문 없이 상담, 접수, 진행 안내까지 상당 부분을 원격으로 처리하는 형태가 중심입니다. 서울, 경기, 인천 같은 수도권뿐 아니라 강원·충청·전라·경상·제주까지 전국 상담이 가능하다고 안내하는 경우가 많습니다. 방문 부담이 적다는 점은 분명 편리하지만, 보기보다 단순해 보여도 조건 확인은 더 꼼꼼해야 합니다.

    폰테크·가개통 안내 문구에서는 당일 진행, 당일 입금, 24시간 상담, 연중무휴 같은 문구가 자주 보입니다. 이런 문구보다 더 중요한 것은 진행 방식의 구체성입니다. 어떤 기종을 기준으로 상담하는지, 매입 조건이 어떻게 잡히는지, 비대면·방문·출장·대납 중 어떤 방식이 가능한지, 접수 후 입금은 언제 이뤄지는지까지 정리돼 있어야 합니다.

    보통 진행 구조는 크게 다르지 않습니다. 전화, 문자, 카카오톡으로 상담 신청을 받고, 조건과 기종을 확인한 다음, 방문, 출장, 비대면, 대납 중 방식을 고른 뒤, 기기 수령 뒤 바로 지급으로 이어지는 방식입니다. 단계 수는 적어 보여도 실제로는 각 단계마다 확인할 내용이 다릅니다. 특히 상담 단계에서 본인 상황에 맞는 진행 형태와 가능 조건을 분명히 해야 뒤에서 꼬이지 않습니다.

    전국 단위로 운영된다고 하는 곳들은 지역명을 세세하게 나열하는 경우가 많습니다. 이런 나열 방식은 지역 기반 검색에 맞춰진 구성이며, 이용자에게 자기 지역도 가능하다는 인식을 줍니다. 이 때문에 지역명 조합 키워드가 반복적으로 쓰입니다.

    상담 채널은 보통 대표전화, 카카오톡, 상담신청 버튼처럼 바로 연결되는 구조로 잡힙니다. 그리고 여기에 정식등록업체, 당일입금, 1:1 상담 같은 표현이 더해집니다. 다만 판단 기준은 광고 문구가 아니라 운영 정보와 절차 설명입니다.

    요약하면 핵심 포인트는 세 가지입니다. 빠른 진행 가능성, 비대면과 전국 대응, 단순한 진행 흐름이 주된 포인트입니다. 이용자 기준에서는 빠르다는 말보다 조건과 절차를 먼저 보는 편이 맞습니다.
