Where Should I Go Drinking Tonight....

[TheSpade]

I want to go out for a drink tonight as it's been a while (well 4 days but that's a long time for me) but can't think where to go.

Usually I like Thai bars, get a bottle of whisky, table service, Thai live music but they are better with company (Thai or farang) and I will be out solo tonight most likely so don't think I'll go to one of these places.

At the same time I'm not a fan of anywhere with bar girls or hookers so a lot of lower Sukhumvit is out.

Where to go for a few beers that won't be completely dead but I won't get annoyed by anyone either?

Love to hear your suggestions, cheers!

Thonglor has a nice vibe about it , more restaurant/bars from what I know of but pretty lively

[TheSpade]

Thong Lor was a place that I considered too but I don't know it well enough. Have just been to a few clubs there rather than bars.

You can recommend some bars close to the BTS preferably?

[N47HAN]

Dont really know a bad one to be honest. Mooch about and see what takes you. All pretty cool imo

Bar 23 on sukhumvit soi 16. Wouldn't look out of place in London's Old Street.

If you are paying, meet at the Pintsman or the After Hours at Sala Daeng (Silom Soi 8)!

It's walking distance from me and it's a good pub but I've been there twice in the last couple of weeks and it's a bit over priced. Fancy somewhere new.

Sounds interesting just read about it on KohSpot. Wonder if it will be busy on a Monday night. Might go find out.

Thanks for the kind offer for me to buy you a pint but Sala Daeng is a trek so next time.

Where all the alcoholics tonight when you need them??

[N47HAN]

Guess they went the pub allready ;-)

In years gawn by I frequented Soi Rangnam...The reds blew up the tree that I used to hang on to when leaving my favourite hang out of nearly 20 years ...Why not go there and report back on the current drinking establishments.. ??

The bar/restaurant complex below On Nut BTS-station is a great place. Loads of people 80% thais 20% farang. Cheap prices for food and drinks. And if you're lucky you"ll pick up a beautiful freebie. Loads od thai girls relaxing after a long days work somewhere. If they like your looks you"ll be invited over to their table

Years ago the micro brewery produced the worst ale in Thailand....Hope it has improved......I must say it wasn't because of the English brewmaster but the restrictions put on him..

Brick Bar is a favourite of mines but I definitely wasn't going to Kowsan, too much of a trek. Well not that far in a taxi if the traffic isn't bad but can be a hassle getting there and back if taxi drivers are being there usual selves and not wanting fares or to put the meter on.

I can tell you what's on Rangnam....Water Bar, Bangkok Bar and a couple of other nondescript places. Nothing exciting.

I don't rate these bars at all.

I've actually heard you get some freelancers hanging around there so maybe these women that he keeps picking up are working and he just doesn't realize it.

P.S.

Should probably update my thread. Well a couple of beers turned into a few. It's 7am and just going to bed now.

Went to Asoke looking for that bar...wasn't open. Ended up in various places in the area. Nowhere particularly exciting or different.

No where exciting or different but managed to stay out till seven am . Got me confused :-)

[TheSpade]

Somewhere doesn't have to be different or exciting for me to drink beer at it.

Highly recommend the Thermae next time you go out

[Nana Cowboy]

did you say "at it" ? is that grammatically correct?

[TheSpade]

Highly recommend the Thermae next time you go out

Where is it and what type of bar?

did you say "at it" ? is that grammatically correct?

No idea. Are you an English teacher?

[Nana Cowboy]

Thermae is a Bangkok Icon. I'm sure many of the kind TV folks will have nice descriptions of the place. It's sort of like Star Wars bar. Me English teacher? lol, no I just though "at it" sounded funny. Thermae is on Sukhumvit between Soi 13 and 15 under the Bush Garden bar and Ruamchitt Hotel. Highly recommended, no cover charge anytime

Many descriptions, but not sure many would be 'nice' probably better off just drinking on the pavement bars they set up. IMO

Although I've walked past it million times, I've never been to Thermae and, from what I've heard, I think I'm fortunate.

What I've actually heard about the place revolves around complaints from that type of man who laments on the fact that an elderly, fat, bald Westerner can't get laid for a tenner there any more because, these days, the girls seem to limit themselves to cleaner, slimmer, more generous Asian punters.

Ever been to Maggie Choos on Silom road? What an atmosphere there.

[krisb]

Which is in the basement of the Novotel.

I ended up in this quirky Japanese restaurant come bar come art gallery somewhere down a soi near Siam tonight. Was a cool little place. I also had some of the best noodles and papaya salad I've ever eaten at a restaurant before going there. I don't know either of these places names.
