4. The Bar at The House on Sathorn

After 3 years of refurbishment, the 126-year-old villa on Sathorn Road has reopened and transformed into the latest dining and drinking destination in the city. Once the Russian embassy, it's now part of the W Bangkok hotel. The interior design of Sathorn draws inspiration from the allure of the interior architecture of the Russian and Thai royal palaces.

Many original details such as the facade color and furnishings of the house have been preserved by the architects. Cocktails here shine with a blend of Asian styles – like the Diva, a cocktail with vodka, tranquil fruit water, coconut water, rose petals, and jasmine syrup...

Address: The House on Sathorn: 106-108 North Sathorn Road, Silom, Bangrak, Bangkok.

5. Namsaah Bottling Trust

You can't miss Namsaah Bottling Trust, a restaurant-bar hybrid set in a villa dating back to the early 20th century, with its striking white doors against a backdrop of bold pink walls. Previously, it served as a soda bottling plant, then later as a bank branch, a royal advisor's residence... and now, it's been elegantly renovated with antique furnishings.

This is also a haunt for many celebrities. At Namsaah, the menu is diverse and intricate, ranging from main courses to cocktails and desserts.

6. Tep Bar

Owner Kong Kangwarnklai returned to Thailand after years abroad, bringing with him new beliefs and ideas. In 2015, he and his associates launched Tep Bar. His philosophy in establishing this bar is that no matter how much Western culture influences, one must always remain true to oneself.

Located in a bustling old street in the Soi Nana area, near China Town, Tep Bar has everything you need for an entertaining evening in Bangkok. You can try cocktails mixed with ya dong (a local herbal whiskey) and listen to traditional music. The most striking feature here is the rather special interior, with gold-covered bricks on concrete walls, reminiscent of ancient times when people buried golden Buddha statues in walls to hide valuables.
