Bar 23
(Soi 16, Th Sukhumvit; 7pm-1am Tue-Sat; Sukhumvit exit 2, Asok exit 6)
The foreign NGO
crowd and indie Thai types flock to this warehouse-like bar on weekends; cold Beerlao
and a retro-rock soundtrack keep them there until the late hours. Bar 23 is about 500m
down Soi 16, which is accessible from Th Ratchadaphisek.

; 96/415 Soi Prasanmit, Th Sukhumvit; admission from 400B; 7pm-2am; Sukhumvit exit
2, Asok exit 3)

Iron Fairies
BAR
(

;
394 Soi 55 (Thong Lor), Th Sukhumvit; 6pm-2am; Thong Lo exit 3 & taxi)
Ima-
gine an abandoned fairy factory in Paris c 1912, and you'll get an idea of the design theme
at this popular wine bar. If you manage to wrangle one of a handful of seats, the staff
claim to serve Bangkok's best burgers and there's live music after 9.30pm.
Bangkok Bar
(rooftop, The Opus, Soi Thong Lor 10; 8pm-1am; Thong Lo exit 3 & taxi)
This former indie stomp-
ing ground has graduated to a new sophisticated, rooftop home. There's live music (from
9.30pm, Wednesday to Saturday), and the eats are strong enough to make Bangkok Bar a
dinner destination in itself. And we double-dog dare you to walk a straight line after two
Mad Dogs, the infamous house drink.
BAR
Nung-Len
NIGHTCLUB
(
www.nunglen.net
; 217 Soi 63 (Ekamai), Th Sukhumvit; 6pm-1am Mon-Sat; Ekkamai exit 1 & taxi)
Young,
loud and Thai, Nung-Len (literally 'sit and chill') is a ridiculously popular den of dance
tunes, live music and uni students on popular Th Ekamai. Make sure you get in before
10pm or you won't get in at all.
