Hippie de Bar
BAR
Our vote for Banglamphu's best bar, Hippie boasts a funky retro vibe and indoor and out-
door seating, all set to a sophisticated indie/pop soundtrack that you're unlikely to hear
elsewhere in town. Despite being located smack-dab in the middle of Th Khao San, there
are surprisingly few foreign faces, and it's a great place to make some new Thai friends.

Phra Nakorn Bar & Gallery
Located an ambivalent arm's length from the hype of Th Khao San, Phra Nakorn Bar is a
home away from hovel for students and arty types, with eclectic decor and changing gal-
lery exhibits. Our tip: head directly for the breezy rooftop and order some of the bar's
cheap 'n' tasty Thai food.

Taksura
BAR
There's scant English-language signage to lead you to this 90-year-old mansion in the heart
of old Bangkok, which is all the better, according to the overwhelmingly Thai, uni/artsy
crowd that frequents the place. Take a seat outside to soak up the breezes and go domestic
by ordering some spicy nibbles with your drinks.
