Fun and entertainment Bangkok

On its way to becoming one of the trendiest places not to be missed, the Walk Rooftop Bar is a lounge bar on the roof of the Centara Watergate Pavillion hotel offering relaxing spaces and serving surprising but excellent cocktails as well as very good international cuisine. The Walk features music by a resident DJ, an interactive video wall and a breathtaking view of Bangkok at night. The ambience is resolutely modern, with pretty, colorful lighting. The 360° panoramic view is absolutely remarkable.

This cabaret, located in the grand Asian gallery The Riverfront, is famous for its ladyboy shows. The show, inspired by the best cabarets in Las Vegas and Paris, is remarkable and flamboyant, a mix of the comical, the sexy and the strange. The impersonations and skits are all outstanding. Songs in English, Thai but also in Chinese, Japanese or Korean to satisfy the international clientele in the room. Possibility to have dinner on the spot. A very good time to share with the whole family.

A must in Bangkok to listen to jazz and blues. The quality of the groups that perform there is often remarkable. Nice decoration of exposed stones which makes good place for musical instruments. Clientele made up of hip old people, young students, tourists and residents of all ages. On the kitchen side, the Saxophone offers Thai and Western dishes, correct but not more. It is best to come and drink a beer or one of the many cocktails on the menu.

This club has the reputation of having the best sound in the capital. With its bar, terrace, discotheque and karaoke, it's a great place to take a breather between dances. Local and international DJs change frequently. Mainly frequented by the city's golden youth. Proper attire is required to enter the premises. Drinks are a little expensive, however. A really nice place that we recommend.

Located in a traditional building in the heart of Chinatown, above the Michelin-starred Potong restaurant, Opium Bar offers a chic yet relaxed experience in an exceptional setting. This two-storey "secret" bar is known only to a privileged few. It's an intimate venue in the tradition of New York bars, revolving around the somewhat fuzzy concept of "liquid surreality". If that's hard to grasp, it's easy to get carried away by the varied flavors of the different cocktails crafted with unique savoir-faire.

The most grandiose and impressive local show traces seven centuries of history of the Kingdom of Siam. 150 artists participate in this fresco whose costumes and special effects are amazing. 2,000 people attend this American-style show every night. However, it is a pity that animals, especially elephants, are still part of the show... But we're in Thailand. Tickets are sold at a high price on the website, but with a bit of mischief you can buy them much cheaper through a travel agency...

Young, pretty Tonkinese relax on swings, while waiters in period dress stroll among the sofas, offering cocktails from another age. A Macau atmosphere of the 1930s, with prohibition and opium suggested. You enter and a staircase leads you to an unlikely place, as if in an adventure film. In the background, a jazz quartet provides the musical ambience. Dinner and show on certain evenings, and gay night on Sundays. An address you'll be delighted to discover just a few yards from Lebua and its Sky bar.

On the ^63rd floor of the Lebua Tower is this open-air bar almost above the void. Below, Bangkok and the Chao Phraya River spread out. Above you rises an imposing golden dome that lights up in the evening. Enjoy a drink, why not a cocktail, while listening to a jazz band. The place is truly impressive. Appropriate dress required. Very high prices. The only drawback is that you soon find yourself very crowded, which spoils the atmosphere a little. And since it was used as the setting for the film The Hangover 2(Very Bad Trip 2 in French), tickets are even more expensive!

A pleasant Internet cafe with a fast connection. By arriving before noon, the visitor has a very cheap rate, 30 B of the hour. Then the rate passes to 1 B/min. Possibility of burning Cds, scanning documents and printing.

The location is spacious and pleasant for an Internet café. It is located in the Times Square mall directly accessible from BTS Asoke Station. Fast connection for 80 B for one hour.

First Internet café in Bangkok to propose surfing on the Mac. Count 60 B for one hour. There are super burgers and salty pies, but face to the screen for snacks.

A good address in the neighborhood! This rather stylish bar-restaurant is located in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of Khao San Road. The kitchen offers Thai and international specialties, including good pizzas. In the evening the atmosphere is pleasant and the bar is often crowded. Good cocktails. Attentive and smiling team. Music-wise, here it's more hip-hop, funk and ska. Groups of musicians provide the atmosphere in the evenings.

A confidential address, which does not have any sign, is marked with the old bike in front of the entrance. A very intimate address with a beautiful garden. There is little choice but we come here for the charm of the place and for tea or coffee, accompanied by scones in a peaceful atmosphere.

A real oasis in Bangkok, between sepia photos and white rattan furniture. Ideal for coming to tea and nibble some sweets. Pianist from 15 am to 18 pm at weekends.

Elegant tea salon offering a variety of teas from all over the world and a wide choice of cakes to accompany them.

Adjacent to the National Museum, the National Theatre programmes traditional Thai dances and music, very exotic shows for the western visitor. Khon's shows are breathtaking: the actors wear traditional masks, the costumes are incredibly fine, and the shows are set to the millimetre. The season runs from November to May, but music and dance performances take place on the last Fridays and Saturdays of each month. For connoisseurs and the curious.

Located in the Wittayakit building, the British Council Siam Square offers English courses in Bangkok. This allows students to find time slots to suit their busy schedules.

The Goethe-Institut in Bangkok, Thailand, is a language school offering online courses and on-site services.

A club where Thai youth and young backpackers from the neighborhood mingle. The interior gives the impression of being in a castle: 3 floors, high DJ booth, large dancefloor, state-of-the-art lighting, and huge JBL sound system. Resident and guest DJs: House, techno, electro and trance for amateurs. Might as well tell you that the sound is played at a deafening volume! Lady's night on Thursdays with live percussion. Animations and dance shows are sometimes part of the party. Best club in the neighborhood!

This small open-air bar, close to the BTS On Nut, is a Bangkok institution. It's very popular with Thais, expats and a few thirsty tourists passing by. In fact, every evening there's a small crowd in front of this bar, which is really just a counter open onto the street. Prices are very affordable and the motley wooden decor is pretty cool. You can also order small dishes to mop up a bit... One flaw, however: it's not big enough! By the way, "Cheap Charlie" is an expression meaning "cheapskate"...
