Speakerbox Livehouse

4.7(434 reviews)

Speakerbox Livehouse has earned its place as a genuine fixture in Bangkok's independent music scene, drawing a loyal crowd of locals and visitors alike with its commitment to authentic, DIY music culture. The venue recently relocated and renovated, bringing fresh energy while maintaining the grassroots identity that has kept it relevant across the years.

Inside, guests will find two distinct spaces: a lounge bar area ideal for pre-show drinks and conversation, and a main performance room equipped with a high-quality sound system, a large LED screen for visuals, and dynamic stage lighting. The programming spans a genuinely wide range of genres, from indie pop and hip hop to reggae, experimental, and underground electronic acts, making it a reliable destination regardless of musical taste. The atmosphere is inclusive and unpretentious, and the staff are consistently noted for being friendly and accommodating.

For practical planning, it is worth checking the venue's social media channels in advance, as event schedules and ticketing details are typically posted there rather than through a dedicated website. The Soi Sukhumvit 55 location is well-served by the BTS Skytrain at Thong Lo station, making it straightforward to reach from most parts of central Bangkok. Arriving before doors open is advisable for popular shows, as the space can fill quickly and seating is not guaranteed.

Reviews from Google

Like all great venues before them, With its longevity, consistency and authentic diy music culture, Speaker box remind predominant in the local music scene. The venue recently renovated and moved to a bigger space with bar area and clean toilet, walking distance from the OG spot. The live room capacity is about 200 - 250 max. Decent size for an intimate live music experience. Do check out their calendar before hand as they only have bands for event nights only. On the other hand, the bar area is always open most nights. Drinks start at around 100+ baht. If you’re looking for a music venue in Bangkok, this is definitely one of the place worth checking out.

Great space for indie and underground bands, as well as electronic and DJ acts. It features a top-notch sound system, massive LED screen for visuals, and dynamic lighting. There are two rooms: a lounge with a pool table, and a livehouse-style main room, both equipped with bars.

Speakbox rocks. It probably rolls, jumps, and pops too given the number, and diversity, of gigs held there. Speakerbox offers a great set up for patrons with a nice bar space for pre concert drinks and socializing. The performance space is rectangular shaped giving patrons good sight lines and an up close, intimate atmosphere for singers and bands. A bar is also conveniently located at the side. I had no gripes with the sound the night I visited and all-up it was a good night out and I look forward to more shows in the future.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

Carry Your Passport or a Copy

Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.

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.
