Bangkok’s Best Nightlife

Most Old-School Bar: Bamboo Bar manages to remain cool and fun despite looking like it’s straight out of a Kipling novel.

Best Bar Conversation: Stop in for a drink at the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand and you’re guaranteed some interesting chatter from the foreign and local journalists at the bar.

Best Place to Sip Cocktails High in the Sky: Though there’s plenty of competition in this category, Sky Bar at Sirocco atop the State Tower in Silom offers the most stunning outdoor bar experience in the city.

Best All-in-One Night Spot: If you want dinner, drinks, music, and a hip crowd to watch, head to Tuk-Su-Ra, where you’ll find good food, cold drinks, entertaining music, and an uber-hip, young Thai crowd.

Best Places to Hear Live Music: Stop in at Saxophone near Victory Monument downtown to listen to live jazz and blues in a laid-back environment every night of the week. If intimate venues are more appealing, Ad Here the 13th near Khao San Road has live jazz and blues, too, with seating for only a handful.
