Bangkok's essential vinyl dive bar spinning molam, Thai funk, and soul on actual records.
Tucked down Sukhumvit Soi 51 near Thonglor BTS, Studio Lam is Bangkok's essential vinyl dive bar — a small, wood-panelled room spinning molam, Thai funk, world music, and soul on actual records. The ya dong cocktails (Thai herbal moonshine, fruit-infused) are unlike anything else in the city. A raw, authentic counter-culture escape.
