Partying can be an absolute blast, no doubt about that. There’s something uniquely satisfying about losing yourself with your friends on the dancefloor, swaying to loud music, and simply enjoying the moment without a care in the world.

However, there comes a time when you crave a more laid-back drinking experience where you can unwind over casual drinks and good food. If you fall into that category, The Beat Asia has you covered. Here are the best hangout spots in Bangkok to chill and drink this 2024.

Moon Bar Bangkok

Named among the top 10 rooftop bars globally, Moon Bar Bangkok is renowned for its elevation of 61 floors above the city, offering patrons a panoramic view of the Land of Smiles.

However, it’s not just the view or ambience that sets it apart as its premium beverages also contribute to its popularity. Expect to drink beverages including beer, cocktails, spirits, champagnes, and wines.

If you’re a non-alcoholic drinker but still wish to visit to chill with your friends, you can opt for non-alcoholic beverages such as the citrusy Orchard Spritz, crafted with apple, elderflower, honey, lime, and soda. Additionally, you can try the tropical-flavoured Sunset Nojito, composed of mint, lemongrass, blue curacao, pineapple, orange, and soda water.
