Hidden in plain sight

» There is no doubt Thailand's nightlife is booming with bars and drinks with unusual names and concoctions. And speaking of which, for every new bar that opens, there has to be a gimmick of some sort to attract bar patrons. Which brings us to this week's cover story for which we went around the city looking for bars with hard-to-spot entrances. After constantly getting lost and double checking Google Maps on our phones, we managed to list four hidden (well not-so-hidden now that we're writing about them) bars for the adventurous bar hoppers who would like to do a bit of effort in getting a drink. Half the fun is discovering them on your own so we included an elusive metre in terms of difficulty finding each tavern, as well as providing a few hints to help guide you on your way. Whether you have already discovered them (shush!) or in need of a change of setting and have a sense of exploration with friends, then Godspeed!
Soft serve please

» With only a few minutes walk away from the BTS Ari station, Empty Tasty's small cafe is tucked within soi 1 of the Ari neighbourhood, between the local eateries and shops. Walking into the small-scale, black-and-white space, customers are greeted by owner Wachira "Pond" Laongtep, who invites customers to relax and enjoy low-fat, soft serve ice-cream after a long day of work or as a place to gather and chill out with friends and family.
Flower power

» Wake up and smell the flowers because spring is here! Or so we like to think in this hot and humid rainy season. If you are bored of seeing the greyish sights of the city and long for something green, have no fear, Guru is here! This week we bring to you four floral cafes, blooming with flowers, which are easy on the eyes. So gather your friends, eat cake and sip on tea at these enchanting establishments.
Wet 'n' Wild!

» Today is the first day of Songkran and we know what you're thinking: "Where should I celebrate the Thai New Year for some fun-soaked festivities?". There are tonnes of places where you can spray water and dab some scented powder on to others, or if staying dry is your thing, there are events dedicated to that, too. Songkran doesn't have to be just attending the countless EDM parties during these busy days (you can check a handful of them in the parties section of listings), these events are can be enjoyed by just about anybody. So grab your water guns and don some waterproof clothes (or why not don some traditional Thai outfits as that's what's all the rage this year), wannee pen wan Songkran!
Drinks of life and death

» You don't usually see the words "death" and "cafe" go hand in hand together but anything is possible in the world of eateries and cafes in Bangkok, and here we have a cafe that is centered around the theme of death.
Sip sip hooray

» With the first month of 2018 over, we hope that your year has not been chaotic. Therefore, a celebration is needed and drinks are in order. Sure, you can call up friends and chill out at your usual hangout spots this weekend, but perhaps it's time to find new places. Fret not as I have visited five of the newest bars around Bangkok for you to check out, get some nibbles and of course, sip on unique cocktails.
