DRINKING & NIGHTLIFE
MADAME MUSUR
(41 Soi Ram Buttri; 8am-1am; Tha Phra Athit, Banglamphu)
Saving you the trip north to Pai, Ma-
dame Musur pulls off that elusive combination of 'northern Thailand meets
The Beach
meets Th Khao San'. It's a fun place to chat, drink and people-watch, and serving a short
menu of northern Thai dishes (mains 120B to 200B), it's also not a bad place to eat.
BAR
HIPPIE DE BAR
(
www.facebook.com/hippie.debar
;
46 Th Khao San; 3pm-2am; Tha Phra Athit, Banglamphu)
Popular with
the domestic crowd, Hippie boasts a Thai retro theme and several levels of fun, both indoor
and outdoor. There's also food, pool tables and a more sophisticated soundtrack than the
average Th Khao San bar.
BAR
PHRA NAKORN BAR & GALLERY
(58/2 Soi Damnoen Klang Tai; 5pm-1am; klorng boat to Tha Phan Fah)
Located an arm's length from
the hype of Th Khao San, Phra Nakorn Bar & Gallery is a home away from hovel for stu-
dents and arty types, with eclectic decor and changing gallery exhibits. Our tip: head direc-
tly for the breezy rooftop and order some of the bar's cheap 'n' tasty Thai food.
BAR
CLUB
(
www.theclubkhaosan.com
;
123 Th Khao San; 10pm-3am; Tha Phra Athit, Banglamphu)
Located right in
the middle of Th Khao San, this cavernlike dance hall hosts a good mix of locals and back-
packers. Expect a door fee of 100B on Friday and Saturday nights.
NIGHTCLUB
TRIPLE-D
(3rd fl, 44 Th Chakraphong; 6pm-late; Tha Phra Athit, Banglamphu)
This vaguely Middle
Eastern-themed bar represents the posh alter ego of Th Khao San. There's live music,
lounges for puffing on shisha, and a dark club. The bar's elevated setting appears to lend it
some leniency with the city's strict closing times.
