Sirocco Sky Bar on Silom RoadSirocco Sky Bar perched on top of the 63rd floor of the State Tower on Silom Road in Bangkok is one awesome place to spend a barmy evening gazing forever at the fantastic view of the city below and the stars above while relaxing over a couple of signature cocktails. This Sky Bar is open from 6:00 pm until 1:00 am. but the best time to go is just before the sun sets.

Bars in BangkokMyBar at the Dusit Thani HotelMyBar at the Dusit Thani Hotel on Rama 4 Road is a minimalist lounge-style bar where you can meet with friends to unwind and have a bit of fun.

All this in a warm and contemporary setting combined with the hotel's famous friendly service.

Take the (BTS) Sky Train and then get off at Saladaeng Station.Diplomat Bar on Witthayu RoadDiplomat Bar is located at the luxurious Conrad Hotel in the heart of Bangkok's business district on Witthayu Road. It's an elegant bar where tycoons, statesmen and double agents secretly meet to connive, conspire and converse in a type of lingo few would know. I doubt whether James Bond would feel out of place at the Diplomat Bar especially when surrounded by many of Bangkok's elite Thai ladies.The bar is open daily for lunch and dinner from 10:00 pm until 1:00 am. except on Friday and Saturday when it is open from 10:00 pm until 2:00 am.

Bars in BangkokCheap Charlie on Sukhumvit Soi 11Just as the very name suggests, Cheap Charlie is a watering hole where cheap prices for all drinks are the order of the day or night, notwithstanding how early you need to get that drink. Now it may or may not come as a bit of a surprise to know that in Thai terms, the real cost of drinks at Cheap Charlie are relatively cheap but from where I come, they are twice the price I pay for at my local bar.60 baht will get you a Chang beer and for 70 baht you can get a Singha, Tiger or Heineken beer. For 60 baht you can get a Thai whiskey and for 70 baht you can get either a Jameson or Jack Daniel whiskey. Gin and tonic, Vodka and soda and Bacardi Breezers are all 70 baht while a glass of wine will set you back 100 baht. As much as the prices of drinks are much cheaper here than most other bars in Bangkok, Cheap Charlie is also a great place to just hang out before hitting the streets around this part of Sukhumvit. It's a particular favourite spot for fellow expats to meet up too. And it makes no difference whatsoever that Bangkok is already a complex and chaotic city, now Charlie has to add more chaos here. Just look around you, the bar is so much more than just a bar. You may get the impression that you are at a junk shop or at the very least, a bizarre museum though you would have to admit some of the collectables here are questionable. Because the bar is set close to the road you need to be extra careful not to get run over. Cheap Charlie is open daily from 11 in the morning until 2 the following morning and to get there, you need to take the (BTS) Sky Train to Nana Station.
