From swanky cocktail joints to smoky izakayas, Silom is one of Bangkok's most diverse nightlife neighborhoods. 

Not so long ago this leafy residential neighborhood was almost a nightlife-free zone but for a few restobars serving up fusion food, sugary-sweet cocktails and live popsanova covers. How things have changed. Ari is now a party destination in its own right, packed with buzzing cocktail bars, nerdy craft beer specialists and more reasons to hit the drink. 

Later this month!

Party from day till night at Yen Akat's cool rooftop bar. 

The indie festivals and gigs are piling up this November. 

Who would want bread when you can have a bagel instead?

Including Ruamrudee's one-stop Italian destination, another Cocotte spin-off,  "hyper-local" Thai on the 25th floor and a cafe doing “nothing but avocado.”

No subject is off-limits.
