Brick Bar
LIVE MUSIC
This basement pub, one of our fave destinations in Bangkok for live music, hosts a nightly
revolving cast of Thai bands for an almost 100% Thai crowd - many of whom will end the
night dancing on the tables. Brick Bar can get infamously packed, so be sure to get there
early if you want a table.

Ratchadamnoen Stadium
Ratchadamnoen Stadium, Bangkok's oldest and most venerable venue for
moo·ay tai
(Thai
boxing, also spelt
muay thai
) hosts matches on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday
starting at 6.30pm. Be sure to buy tickets from the official ticket counter, not from the touts
who hang around outside the entrance.

Brown Sugar
LIVE MUSIC
This longstanding live music den has found a new home in Old Bangkok. It touts itself as a
'jazz boutique', but the tunes range from vocal jazz to perky pop. Other reasons to stop by
include the cosy atmosphere and the deep-fried pork knuckle, not the overpriced drinks.
