Happy Monday
Location : Ekkamai Shopping Mall, Ekkamai soi 10
Atmosphere : Happy Monday is a must for indie kids. If you think you are one of them and have never come here you must reconsider yourself because it is said to be the place where most indie teens sip their first naughty drinks. One of the reasons of it being the Mecca of these adorable people is the very friendly price with a loosen up ambiance, nice food, killer music from new-face djs, and sometimes art events. However despite the fact that there's a dj spinning the level of the sound is still at a suitable range for having a nice conversation with your friends. The only downside of this place seem to be that the outdoor zone is unbelievably full of huge mosquitoes. But everyone doesn't seem to care much about it anyway.When the place gets really packed some of the staff can turn strict on you. So make sure you choose your words carefully when the place is crazy.
After hour service is not actually available but they still let you sit around in the dark with your BYO drinks anyway.

23 Bar
Location : Sukhumvit 16
Atmosphere : Hidden in a high-rise residential area in sukhumvit 16, a 2-storey shop house resides a cool and super cozy Japanese bar that you can secretly smoke inside. 23 Bar has no actual closing time because when looking from the outside it seems to be closed all the time anyway. They cover all the windows with shaggy bits of paper boxes and metal doors so it can be tricky spotting the place sometimes. The decoration of the place was simply executed with a few pieces of vintage furniture and a couple of toy decors. But the cool part is that they have a huge cupboard full of Japanese DVDs you can borrow. The crowd is mostly indie people and a lot of them are Japanese. Here people tend to sit at the bar and have chat with bartenders and others at the bar which is quite an uncommon behaviour for Thai people but you can do it normally in 23 Bar. The music they play is mostly alternative rock from the 90's and some Thai indie music. From time to time they organize little gigs with both local and foreign indie bands.
