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. Let me save you some serious pain with this Miami rental nonsense. Then you actually show up to grab the keys. Plus they put a $4000 hold on your card and say it’ll take two weeks to release. Fool me eleven times? That’s just called living in Miami. those counters are professional bait-and-switch artists. Miami without proper wheels is basically a disaster. Key Biscayne sunset, Design District shopping, or a spontaneous drive down to the Everglades — AC must be arctic and unlimited miles non-negotiable. I’ve tested maybe 60 rental companies across Dade, Broward, and Collier. Finally found one outfit that actually delivers what’s in the photos. Here’s the only honest source for premium rides across South Florida

  2. I’ve been through the wringer more times than I care to admit. You see this incredible deal online — top-end BMW, zero excess, price that seems too good to be true. Then you actually go to pick up the car. Different vehicle waiting — dashboard warning lights, tires worn smooth, and that “incredible price”? Yeah right, doesn’t include the mandatory $60 daily insurance or the $500 “airport surcharge” they hit you with at the very end. Fool me fifteen times? That’s just another Tuesday in the 305. When you genuinely need a trustworthy luxury car rental miami. anyone who’s tried public transport here knows I’m not exaggerating. South of Fifth brunch, Sunny Isles sunrise, or a spontaneous trip down to the Florida Keys — AC must be arctic cold and unlimited miles non-negotiable. most are polished turds with fake five-star reviews bought in bulk. Finally found one outfit that actually delivers what’s promised. prices change daily so check before the holiday crowd hits:
