People-Watching
Cross over to Soi Ram Buttri for phase two of your crawl.
Gecko Bar
(cnr Soi Chana
Songkhram & Soi Rambutri; 6pm-1am)
is a fun and frugal place to gawk at passersby,
while a few doors down,
Madame Musur
(41 Soi Ram Buttri; 8am-1am; Tha Phra Athit
(Banglamphu))
offers the same perks, but with a bit more sophistication and northern-
style Thai dishes.
Urban Beach
There's seems to be a current and inexplicable trend for beach-themed, almost tiki
bar-feeling pubs in Banglamphu. If this appeals, head south on Soi Ram Buttri and
hunker down with a fruity cocktail among the Easter Island heads and bamboo decor
of
Sawasdee House
(Soi Ram Buttri; 11am-2am; Tha Phra Athit (Banglamphu))

south of Th Chakraphong,
Macaroni Club

Tha Phra Athit
(Banglamphu))

Live Music
Every pub crawl needs a cheesy covers soundtrack (if you haven't yet heard a live
version of 'Hotel California', you haven't really been to Bangkok), so continue along
Th Rambuttri stopping in at the numerous open-air live-music bars such as
Bar-
lamphu
(Th Rambuttri; noon-2am; Tha Phra Athit (Banglamphu))
or, 150m further south
along Th Rambuttri,
Molly Bar
(108 Th Rambuttri;
8pm-1am;
Tha Phra Athit
(Banglamphu))
