The high-end Balinese nightlife brand Ku De Ta will be leaving Bangkok, with the complex of restaurants, bars and clubs on the top floors of Sathorn Square having confirmed it will soon undergo a rebrand. 

The move follows a similar name change of the Singapore Ku De Ta at Marina Bay Sands, which last June started operating as Ce La Vi (which is KDT-speak for "c'est la vie" which in turn is French for "that's life").

For now, the club is still open as usual and under the Ku De Ta brand (with the next big event, DJ EZ, lined up for Sep 26), however all of the venue's restaurants have stopped service in anticipation of a major upcoming change in concept.

Up until last month, Signature served ultra-high-end contemporary Asian food that we rated highly, while its more down-to-earth neighbor, Izakaya, served comforting Japanese bar food. We're told to expect something entirely different when they reopen. 

Ku De Ta Bangkok launched nearly two years ago in October 2013 to much hype thanks to its one-million-baht membership package and the promise of three restaurants, seven themed bars and two clubs spread over two stories. Its rebranding will leave just one official Ku De Ta branch worldwide: the original beach club in Seminyak, Bali.
