Fun and entertainment Bangkok

Also sometimes called "Jurassic Park", because the older members of the gay community are the ones who frequent this bar, which has been open since 1987. Telephones are available to call the young people seated at nearby tables. On the second floor, a restaurant serving Thai and international specialties, and on the third, a karaoke bar. Drag queens perform on certain evenings. The atmosphere is sometimes hysterical... A Bangkok institution.

This open-air bar is the ideal place to go for an aperitif and to be stunned by the panoramic view of Bangkok at more than 200 m high. Situated in the open air, on the roof of the Banyan Tree, on the 61st floor, you are actually getting closer to the moon. You sip your cocktail or your glass of wine, lulled by pleasant music in a subdued atmosphere. A chic and charming address, ideal for a romantic moment. Proper attire required (no shorts or flip-flops). However, avoid going to dinner at the expensive Vertigo restaurant with its unrefined cuisine for the price.

Voted one of the best nightclubs in Bangkok, this nightclub has two adjoining rooms with two different styles of music (Hip Hop and House music). Super DJ's, mixed clientele, guaranteed atmosphere. Every Wednesday, free entry for ladies at Ladies Night. Drinks are quite expensive. You'd better be well-dressed to get in. Lots of interested girls, mostly Russian...

Not easy to find, J. Boroski has no address. It is located at the end of an unnamed cul-de-sac, a large iron door on the right where the name of the establishment is written in small letters marks the entrance to the cocktail bar. This select place has no map, does not advertise but is always full. At the counter the bartender will concoct the most extraordinary cocktails for you by simply asking you what you like. That's after the magic happens. Good music, minimalist decor, J. Boroski is ideal to start his evening in Thonglor.

The Octave Rooftop Bar & Lounge is located on the roof of the Mariott Hotel on three levels on the 45th floor. Very warm, with Thai decorative elements, vases, greenery, wood and an impressive quantity of seats and sofas, to settle down comfortably at any time of the evening and enjoy the view. DJ's sometimes come to set the mood more consistently. With, of course, a dazzling view of Bangkok.

How about travelling not in space but in time? The 24th and 25th floors of the Muse Hotel take us back 100 years to the prohibition era. The place, particularly elegant and romantic, benefits from subdued lights. The waiters are up to the task, but what is even better are the cocktails, real recipes as they were prepared at the beginning of the last century. Jazz music for atmosphere most evenings and funkier some nights with DJ.

This bar-restaurant looks like a flying saucer that seems to have landed on the roof of the Hilton Millenium. It offers a breathtaking 360-degree view of the Chao Praya River. Contrary to what you might think, the drink prices are similar to what you might pay at Skybar. The music is provided by a jazz band. A chic address to enjoy an excellent cocktail, or a glass of wine, in a romantic atmosphere.

It is located near Soi Cowboy, but the majority of the clientele is made up of students. Three halls, therefore three dance floors (only one is open when there are few people), for hip hop, trance and house lovers, eight bars, the Narz, known a few years ago as Narcissus, is installed in a large building which often hosts European DJ's. Going in after midnight is when the atmosphere gets a little warmer. A place with a bit of a strange atmosphere sometimes... A curiosity.

The Bush Garden is a really nice place, thanks to the pool tables and the cold beer and cocktails. Fans who want to challenge the waitresses are warned: they are real professionals! On the way out, there are stairs on the left. One of the most amazing shows is in this basement bar (the Thermae). Others will tell you it's one of the creepiest. For adults only!

The Bangkok Beer Garden coupled with the Dee Lounge is a bar-restaurant, serving small dishes and lots of fresh beers, but not that, you can also opt for a cocktail for example, throughout the day and until very late in the evening. It is located at the very bottom of the Novotel Ploenchit, but can be reached directly from the street. The atmosphere is very relaxed, a jazz-pop group regularly animates the evenings of this place. A nice place to start your evening!

This bar is definitely one of the top 10 most popular bars in the Thai capital. To get to the worm's mouth, which resembles those in the Hobbit movie, part³, you'll have to go to Central World and enter via the Centara Grand. Take the first elevator to the lobby on the ^23rd floor, then another to the ^55th floor. Walk up one floor and take the last tiny elevator. Up there, a small, round bar with a 360° view, a DJ and delicious but relatively expensive champagne cocktails.

It's on this little street north of Chinatown that Bangkok's new wave of cocktail bars is born, in tastefully renovated old buildings. Several bars, including Reef, Brown Sugar, Pijiu... But our favorite is ToT! With humor and realism, it advertises itself as a place for teenagers and useless thirtysomethings in the midst of an existential crisis! It's one of the trendiest places in town, with original decor, talented young people at the helm, innovative cocktails and music to discover.

Several discos, music bars, and a delirious atmosphere all along the avenue until 2am. Rather EDM oriented but also with Thai groups coming to perform. The lighting in the hall is colourful and spectacular. The places are frequented by the golden youth of Bangkok (20-25 years old) but also by some foreign revellers. Lasers, DJs and decibels are available every night of the week. Entry is strictly forbidden for persons under 20 years of age. A taxi is needed at the exit of the MRT Phetchaburi.

This cultural centre opened its doors in April 1987. Regular performances are organized there. The programming of quality ballets and operas is becoming more and more frequent, but the prices are still quite high. Philharmonic concerts or Broadway-style shows can also be seen here. On the other hand, shows to promote local art are often free of charge. On the second floor there is a small museum dedicated to rice cultivation, language and literature, Thailand and the world, and the history of the country.
