tk47 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 Hi all. I will be a newbie in Thailand in a couple of weeks so ..... As I will be spending the first week of my Thai holiday in BKK, what pubs / clubs / bars would you recommend for good rock / heavy music or even UK style older pop music, if there are any? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jai Dee Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Tha Hard Rock Cafe is always fun. I'll move this topic to the Bangkok Forum where you're more likely to get some replies. /Moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jockstar Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 For covers. Then check out the Shamrock Bar on Khao San Road. One of my favourites. You could even check out Country Road suk soi 19? ( I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meom Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 For UK style older pop music try the Offshore; Ray's been playing the same tape since the last 20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I am going to have a lot of fun in BKK. And I am supposed to cut down on the demon drink!!! Ahhhh, stuff the Docs advice.... this is a holiday Nice to see people in this forum know where to have fun. Thx guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beavis and Butthead Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) I used to go to the Hard Rock in Siam and enjoyed the live rock music they used to play. Then I went in one night and they had a hip hop band of wannabes on stage playing the likes of MTV rap/hip hop "music" complete with the sideways NY yankee caps and other getup. I was putrified and bolted out of there never to return. My advice is don't torture yourself by paying 500 cover to have fecal matter tossed in your face Edited September 28, 2006 by Beavis and Butthead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slated Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Where in Soi Cowboy is 5 Star? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerJohn Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Five Star is about the 4th or 5th bar on left as you enter the street. Smallish frontage, as you enter theres a small bar and go go stage on your left, the band stage is right at the end of the place.get there after 10pm. Enjoy.

PanzerJohn Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I guess it is but not in the usual sense, more like a bar with a few dancers and a great live band.If you sit up the band end the dancers are behind you and you wouldn't even know they are there. I love the place, have had some great fun nights there.Everyone I have taken there has loved the place too and returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulmercke Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Try Radio City - Patpong - Silom - excellent five piece band with a three piece brass section - Elvis - Tom Jones - oldies. Safe. Good service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulysses G. Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Keep this thread going, it's always good to hear about more places where we don't have to suffer through techno and boy bands. They suck, but rap is really the pits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyfletch Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 You could also try Tokyo Joes on Suk Soi24. Good live music, but not the cheapest place in town. If you fancy venturing a bit further afield, then head for the Blues Factory in Pattaya. Its one of the sponsors here, and I've had a couple of great nights there - top quality live music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
