; 61st fl, Banyan Tree Hotel, 21/100 Th Sathon (South) Tai; 5pm-1am; Lumphini exit 2)
The Banyan Tree Hotel's Moon Bar kick-started the rooftop trend and, as Bangkok con-
tinues to grow at a mad pace, the view from 61 floors up only gets better. Arrive well be-
fore sunset and grab a coveted seat to the right of the bar for the most impressive views.
Save your shorts and sandals for another locale.
WONG'S PLACE
(27/3 Soi Si Bamphen; 9pm-late Tue-Sun; Lumphini exit 1)
This dusty den is a time warp into the
backpacker world of the early 1980s. The namesake owner died several years ago, but a
relative removed the padlock and picked up where Wong left off. Wong's works equally
well as a destination or a last resort, but don't bother knocking until midnight, keeping in
mind that it stays open until the last person crawls out.

500B after 10pm on Friday and Saturday.
