Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked into the Pom Prap neighborhood on the edge of Bangkok's Chinatown, Asia Today Bar operates as a speakeasy-style venue that has quietly built a devoted following among locals and travelers alike. The bar distinguishes itself through a creative cocktail program that incorporates rare Thai honey sourced from across the country — an unusual touch that gives visitors something genuinely different from the standard Bangkok bar scene.

The atmosphere leans toward cool and intimate rather than loud and commercial. Expect interesting decor, a chilled vibe, and a bar team — including staff regularly praised by name in visitor reviews — who bring a high level of craft and warmth to the experience. Bottles of the house honey are also available to purchase, making it a useful stop for those looking to take home an edible souvenir. The venue draws a sociable crowd and the window tables, when available, are a particularly good spot for an evening out.

Asia Today is popular enough that lines are common on busier nights, so arriving earlier in the evening improves the chances of securing a table without a wait. No website or listed opening hours are available online, so visiting during typical Bangkok bar hours from around 8pm onwards is the safest approach. The surrounding Chinatown and Nana areas offer a wide range of dining options, making it straightforward to build a longer evening around a visit here.

Asia Today Bar is an absolutely amazing experience and a must-try in the neighborhood. Drinking cocktails here feels like discovering something truly special. They use local Thai honey in their drinks, and it makes every cocktail feel unique, thoughtful, and deeply connected to Thailand. The flavors are creative, balanced, and unlike anything we’ve tried elsewhere. The staff are incredible — genuinely kind, patient, and passionate. They take the time to explain everything as much as you want, from the ingredients to the story behind each drink, without ever making it feel rushed or pretentious. You really feel welcomed and taken care of. The atmosphere is relaxed, cool, and intimate — perfect for actually enjoying your drinks and the experience. This isn’t just a bar; it’s a place where craft, culture, and hospitality come together beautifully. If you’re in the area, this is a must-try at least once (though you’ll probably come back). One of the best cocktail experiences we had in Bangkok. Highly recommended. 🍯🍸

Super cool bar / speakeasy in Chinatown. The manager, Oolong, is really friendly and made me feel welcome immediately. The bartenders, Dream and Tea, are absolute magicians! The cocktails, music, and vibe are great. Highly recommend stopping by if you can.

Actually went here a couple of years ago, and just came across old photos of my visit there. It was a great place for Friday after work drinks, interesting decor, good, chilled vibe, a good place for a relaxing drink. I hope it's still the same!

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

Know the Closing Times

Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.

Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously

Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.

Arrange Your Ride Home

Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
