Nightlife

As New Year’s Eve just proved, the Bangkok nightlife is back with a vengeance, with new venues including De Commune, a worthy contender to the underground crown.

BANGKOK — At this downtown cocktail bar, the women are running the show.

BANGKOK — Citylight Coffee, a 5-year-old coffeehouse, is on a dual mission in the red light district of Nana: to serve good food and drinks, and to help those who fled the slavery of forced sex work.

Today the dance floors are no longer empty for Sunju Hargun, who has come a long way from dues-paying in the early Shanghai scene. Head to any of Bangkok’s best clubs or festivals and be sure to find him in the DJ booth rocking crowds: This weekend it’s on a boat in Bangkok’s Chao Phraya River.

BANGKOK — Eat, seek divine help in love and marvel at a restored 167-year-old Chinese pier which opened Friday.

BANGKOK — As Thailand begins a new week since His Majesty King Bhumibol’s death led to the declaration of a year-long mourning period, foreign tourists and residents might wonder what is okay and what is not.

BANGKOK — Having a bar has always been Poompat Chinpongpanich’s dream. The dream came true in March, two days before the government ordered all bars closed amid a surge in coronavirus infection.

BANGKOK — All hail ‘90’s kids! Revisit the way it was once again at a ‘90s flashback show recalling the pre-Y2K Bangkok club scene featuring Eurodance band Vengaboys.

In 2009, London-based producer Stray earned props in the Drum ‘n’ Bass, or DnB, scene with his debut work “Timbre.” Released as a B-side, the track’s abstract atmospherics, off-kilter beats and climactic amen breakbeats had the scene waxing lyrical over the producer's studio wizardry.

BANGKOK — Friday night is the last chance to swig cocktails and inexpensive beer at a boheme alley bar in a sweaty sub soi off Sukhumvit 11.
