The award-winning bar in Charoen Krung Soi 28, widely known as Thailand's first tropical cocktail bar, is closing out its chapter in the neighborhood with a three-day farewell party from Apr. 24 to 26, 2026. Bringing together food, cocktails, music, and old friends, this weekend blowout is one you shouldn't miss!

After nearly 9 years of shaking and stirring behind the bar counter, the neighborhood institution is inviting guests for one final house party before last call. Called "The Big Farewell," the event will run from 7 PM to 2 AM on Apr. 24, from 6 PM to 3 AM on Apr. 25, and from 6 PM until "empty" on the last day, Apr. 26. Entry is free, but strictly walk-in only.

Friday night brings in OG bartenders behind the stick, including Niks Anuman from Teens of Thailand (ToT), Ronnaporn "Neung" Kanivichaporn of Mahaniyom, Joh Parisaran Sanguankul, and Watcharapong "Bank" Suriyaphan. Making sure the beats pair well with the mixes, the decks will be brought to life by Alex Zaldua, Takamichi, Susha, Shir Khan, NK Chan, and Ayahtareek.

But the party doesn't stop there as it continues into Saturday with a "Friend Shift for All" that invites special guest bartenders to step up to the counter and serve their signatures. Interested bartenders can DM Tropic City Bangkok on Instagram to join! Come hungry and grab a slice from the Gallery Pizza pop-up to keep your energy up as you dance to the tunes. For the 2nd day, the DJ lineup brings together Mo-Funk, DOTT, Mumsfilijayja, Koish, and Elaheh.

As the final curtain call, everything must go! Complete with a bar clearing, Tropic City Bangkok is sending off every bit of alcohol in the bar with the bang they deserve. Gallery Pizza returns to keep guests sated, while Brent Burns, KAPPA, Pam Anantr, Seelie, Tam Bryce, Pati Mala, and Mumsfilibaba keep the music going.

More than a weekend for industry partners, friends, and regular guests, this farewell weekend marks the end of a bar that has become one of Bangkok's defining nightlife institutions since launching in 2017.

For the pair behind Tropic City Bangkok — hospitality veterans and bartending duo Philip Stefanescu and Sebastian De la Cruz — the bar opened in 2017 with a simple but ambitious idea: to create an easygoing neighborhood bar in Bangkok's creative district, an escape that also differentiates itself in the cocktail scene. With its tropical vibes and serious cocktail creations, Tropic City quickly became a high-energy, welcoming space for Bangkokians.

In its over eight years, the bar has amassed numerous recognitions, including spots in Asia's 50 Best Bars and The World's 50 Best Bars, a place on the Top 500 Bars list, repeated honors and accolades from various organizations. Aside from their awards, however, the bar has become home for neighborhood creatives, first-time tourists, seasoned regulars, and new and experienced bartenders — all coming together under one roof.

Saying goodbye to a beloved bar never gets easy, but if there's any proper way to do it, Tropic City Bangkok has it all figured out with loud music, old friends, guest shifts, pizza, strong pours, and one last weekend in the tropics in the middle of the city. Don't miss this chance to bid farewell!

It’s all about the vibes, isn’t it?

When it comes to nightclubs, the choices are as diverse as the city itself. Opting for high-energy superclubs with booming sound systems that make your heart race, finding your groove in cool after-hours spots with premium tables, or immersing yourself in the eclectic energy of venues dedicated to hip-hop, techno, or other specific music genres — there are many styles to choose from. With countless nightclubs in Bangkok, planning a night out with your squad can be tricky.

Recently, the rise of hyperclubs across Southeast Asia has become quite the sensation, with Bangkok witnessing a flurry of exciting openings. For those who aren't familiar, a hyperclub is a venue that combines elements of a high-capacity nightclub and an arena-style event space. These club-level venues can host festival-scale lineups and accommodate thousands of attendees, featuring large main rooms with open spaces for dancing.

From the best EDM nightclubs to unique discotheque vibes, here are some of the top nightclubs to visit in Bangkok right now.
