Thuub by The wall (The 5th Wall)

5.0(86 reviews)

Thuub by The Wall, also known as The 5th Wall, is a small cocktail bar nestled inside THEE Kashatharn Hotel in the Hai Ya area of Chiang Mai. Despite its low-key profile, it has built a loyal following among visitors who stumble upon it, drawn in by its cozy yet refined atmosphere and a drinks menu that goes well beyond the ordinary. The bar specialises in thoughtfully crafted cocktails, with each drink designed with intention and care — a negroni here is reportedly a highlight. The space is intimate by design, which lends itself to relaxed, unhurried evenings. Service is consistently attentive and personal, with bartenders known for being generous with their time and knowledge. On quieter nights, it can feel almost like a private bar, giving guests the rare chance to slow down and actually connect with the person making their drinks. A practical note for first-time visitors: the map location is reportedly unreliable, so it is worth navigating directly to THEE Kashatharn Hotel and looking for the bar immediately adjacent to it. As opening hours are not publicly listed, it is advisable to check with the hotel directly before making a special trip. Given the small size of the venue, arriving early in the evening is a sensible approach, particularly on weekends.

Visitor Reviews

The 5th Wall is a stylish and intimate cocktail bar tucked inside THEE Kashatharn Hotel. The atmosphere is cozy yet refined perfect for winding down after a long day. Each cocktail is crafted with care, balancing classic technique with creative flair. Whether you’re a guest at the hotel or just looking for a quiet, classy spot in the city, this place is a hidden gem. Try their signature drinks you’ll be pleasantly surprised( I ordered Salim at that night)

Quaint little bar next to our hotel, a hidden gem! We were served by Lek, who was super sweet and generous with his knowledge and pours 😂 their cocktails are out of this world - specially designed to highlight Thai flavours and culture. Can't recommend enough, 10/10 🫶

Very happy with my drink! Service 5 stars! Very hidden (map location doesnt work, follow instinct- right next to the THEE hotel)! Enjoyed my negroni 👌🏿

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.
