Bangkok: Must Drink

Again, where oh where do we start here. Bangkok is a crazy city, with nightlife galore. So here’s what to do when you don’t want to remember entirely what you do hehe:

For insane nights out:

  • Khao San Road is the most famous street for going out in Bangkok. Get a bucket of a mixed drink, get high off balloons and go wild.

  • Soi Cowboy for a a bit more than just drinks and parties. I’m referencing sexually. 

  • Nana Plaza, for the same reason as above

For pregaming:

  • W District has all the food and drinks in an outdoor setting (mostly foreigners, but fun vibes for sure)

  • The Commons - same vibes as W

  • Beer Belly for an ideal location between all the trendy Thonglor clubs and bars

  • Jack’s Bar for river views and cheap beers 

For a date:

  • Iron Balls with its awesome design and plenty of nooks and crannies

  • Rabbit Hole for the most creative drinks

  • Find the Locker Room for speakeasy vibes

  • Havana Social for latin music in bar-turns-club

  • TEP Bar for more authentic Thai vibes in Chinatown

For Views:

  • Mahanakhon for the highest bar in the country (complete with a glass floor)

  • Tichuca for views and the most aesthetic pictures (plus most fun of all the rooftops)

  • Bar.Yard for a bit more laid back views

  • Vertigo for the #1 ranked rooftop bar in the world (prices to match)

  • Three Sixty Lounge for riverside lounging from way above

  • Above Eleven for dancing on a roof (make sure to check out the bathroom here)

  • Nest for some hookah on a roof

For Clubbing:

  • Beam for the spot I went to most often

  • Bobo for more western style clubbing

  • Sugar for hip hop (VERY hit or miss)

  • Route 66 for just an absolutely massive club

And there you have it, the best places to go out, in my humble opinion, in Bangkok!
