Thonglor and Ekkamai

Thonglor is known for dinner first, then bars. Stay on this BTS strip if you want a night that starts with a table, not a soi crawl.

Thonglor is where many first-timers should have stayed if they like eating. The bars sit after dinner, not instead of it. A 2026 Grab home after midnight is often 80 to 180 THB.

BTS Thong Lo and Ekkamai are the rails. After midnight, Grab is faster than walking Sukhumvit Road.

Rooms

Rabbit Hole: a serious cocktail room. Go with a reservation if the week is busy.

Find The Locker Room: the joke is the door. The drinks are not a joke.

Bar Us: late, loud enough, still in Thonglor's orbit.

Mahaniyom: dinner that becomes a night. Useful if your group will not agree on a cocktail temple.

Book

Common questions

Do you need a booking?
For the small cocktail rooms, a note on Instagram or a walk-in early is enough most weeknights. Weekends fill. Beach clubs want a daybed or a table if you care about shade.
