the human parade on Th Khao San. The upstairs bar here hosts late-night bands.
LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
LOCAL BOOZERS
Although Th Khao San remains associated with foreign tourists, in recent years it's also become a popular night-
life destination for young locals. Check out the live-music pubs along Th Phra Athit or the low-key bars south of
Th Ratchadamnoen Klang for a more local drinking scene.
TAKSURA
(156/1 Th Tanao; 5pm-1am; klorng boat to Tha Phan Fah)
There's little English-language signage
to lead you to this 90-year-old mansion in the heart of old Bangkok, which is all the better,
according to the overwhelmingly Thai, uni/artsy crowd that frequents the place. Take a
seat outside to soak up the breeze and go domestic by ordering some spicy nibbles with
your drinks.
BAR
ROLLING BAR
(Th Prachathipatai; 5pm-midnight; klorng boat to Tha Phan Fah)
An escape from hectic Th Khao
San is a good enough excuse to schlep to this quiet canal-side boozer. Live music and de-
cent bar snacks are good reasons to stay.
