The Bangkok Top 202026
The twenty rooms we would send someone to in Bangkok this year, in order.
How this list was built
Ordered by NOX editorial score, weighted with Instagram freshness, room impact, scene importance and longevity. An editor can lock any position. See /about for the full method.
The full methodBeam
A Funktion-One room on Thonglor Soi 55 that books internationally without behaving like a tourist club. The best sound in the city.
Studio Lam
A custom sound system built by the Zudrangma Records crew, playing molam and Thai funk to people who came specifically for it.
De Commune
12x12
Sing Sing Theater
A Shanghai-1930s fantasy in red lanterns and birdcages. The design is the point; the music is better than it needs to be.
Tichuca Rooftop Bar
A glowing jellyfish canopy on the forty-sixth floor. Absurd, extremely photogenic, and genuinely good after midnight.
Safe Room
DJ Station
Three floors on Silom Soi 2 and the front door of queer Bangkok since 1994.
