Bars & Clubs

Bangkok is a city that loves to party. Despite the pandemic, many bars and restaurants have chosen to innovate and dare new concepts to attract new customers. Two bars have succeeded. They made it into the Top 50 of the world’s best bars in 2022 and two other bars into the Top 100.
The ranking for Thailand is as follows:

• The BKK Social Club at Four Seasons came in at 14th place and won the award for Best Thai Bar.
• Tropic City on Charoenkrung came 24th.
• Silom’s Vesper is in 79th place,

Four bars, four evenings with unique atmospheres that offer a taste of excellence for a night.
