It’s been over a decade since Studio Lam first opened on Soi Sukhumvit 51, and music lovers across town still flock here for an outrageously fun evening. Expect campy and funky tunes spanning all genres, from African music, Latin swing, jazz, and soul to Thailand’s famously high-energy Mor Lam folk music.

Get ready to break a sweat to dance-commanding bangers all night long! While you're at it, you can also enjoy the true Isaan drinking culture with a shot of the traditional Thai herbal spirit, Ya Dong—guaranteed to give you that rush you need to truly let loose.

You can tell just how serious the fun gets here by the word "muan" in the name—and it’s absolutely true! Located on the third floor of the building next to Vimut Hospital, Muan Bangkok boasts the ultimate "Bangkok style" of Isaan festivity. This means an authentic northeastern feel with quirky, OTT decor (think colourful fluorescent lights, streetside food carts, and actual homeware from Isaan households).

The moment you step inside, there’s no way you can resist the temptation to get up and shake your whole body! The music spans high-energy bangers like Mor Lam and Luk Thung (Thai country music) mixed with popular mainstream T-pop tunes. Tired from dancing? Grab yourself some refreshments and spicy Isaan nibbles that are guaranteed to keep your night going.

Locals across Bangkok know them well by the name Pha Khawnioew—the legendary Yaowarat street stall for grilled northeastern Thai-style sausage that has seen long queues of hungry crowds for over three decades. Now, these Isaan culture experts have embarked on an exciting new venture in Ban Tad Thong with the cool cocktail spot, Bar Khaoniao.

Here, they get to fully branch out their love for Isaan eating and drinking culture. The focus is on creative mixology, featuring an array of signature cocktails that truly encapsulate the essence of northeastern Thailand. Best of all? You can still order that much-loved grilled sausage to accompany your drinks, and maybe sway a bit to the fun Thai folk tunes played in the background!

Deemed one of the most respected establishments in Chinatown’s Soi Nana, this bar-hopping paradise is where Tep Bar amazes patrons by blending traditional Thai music performance with modern nightlife culture.

Expect lots of authentic, Thai-inspired tipples that few other bars can possibly compete with.
