LIVE MUSIC
Parking Toys
( 0 2907 2228; 17/22 Soi Mayalap, off Kaset-Navamin Hwy; 7pm-2am; Mo Chit exit 3 & taxi)
One of
Bangkok's best venues for live music, Parking Toys hosts an eclectic revolving cast of fun
bands ranging from acoustic/classical ensembles to electro-funk jam acts. Take a taxi
heading north from BTS Mo Chit and ask the driver to go to Kaset-Navamin Hwy. Upon
passing the second stop light on this road, look for the small Heineken sign on your left.
Cosmic Café
LIVE MUSIC

;
Block C, RCA, off Th Phra Ram IX; 8pm-2am Mon-Sat; Phra Ram 9
exit 3 & taxi)
Blessedly more low-key than most places on RCA, Cosmic calls itself a cafe
but looks like a bar, and in recent years has become one of Bangkok's better destinations
for live music. Despite the slight identity crisis, it's a fun place to drink, rock to live music
and meet Thai-style.
