There’s an incredible mix of bars and clubs around Sukhumvit. Lower Sukhumvit (Asok and Nana) is where you'll find the Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy red-light districts. Farther east, the neighborhoods of Thong Lor and Ekkamai are the places for wealthy young Thais to party. Expect tables full of whiskey-drinking revelers listening to live music. There are also plenty of expat pubs in this area, many of which are also popular with Thais.
The entrance to this secret salsa lair is a fake telephone booth in a dark unsuspecting alley across from the Frasier Suites Sukhumvit. Inside you'll find a diverse crowd shimmying to Afro-Cuban beats, sipping Cubra Libres on leather couches, and smoking in the cigar lounge, harking back to Havana before the revolution. Free salsa dance classes are held on Sunday evenings.
This downtown rooftop bar atop the Bangkok Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit is known for its 360-degree panoramas and for reasonable drink prices compared to other rooftop bars.
