I went there and I found out that it's really awesome!! The music is great - like
hip hop, heavy, r&b (bit different from RCA of course!)"

The Lava Club has quickly become
one of the 'in' places on Khao San Road. Underneath Bayon Building, you go down
some stairs into what is quite a sophisticated place. Great lighting, lasers,
and crystal clear sound system - although it's loud, you can still talk over it.
The brainchild of two Israeli partners, Lava provides a good mix of locals and
Thai youth. Great to see people in shorts and flip-flops dancing next to locals
offering bolder fashions statements. Seems to be quite a few foreign staff, including
western DJ spinning house with an edge of trance. Prices are a bit steep by Khao
San standards - 150 for a regular beer - but it's worth it. A really good place.
Check it out! Akim

Beautiful waitresses and the best music. I liked the way they build it like a
cave..quite interesting. I ll definately visit Lava when I am in Thailand next

Dali Bar
Soi Rambutri
Off-Khao San Road
Banglampoo
Bangkok 10200
Email: absolutebar@hotmail.com
Positioned a bit away from Khao San Road, Dali's Bar is well
worth a 5-minute walk. Dali's Bar is unique in Bangkok (at least I haven't seen
anything like it). A two-storey townhouse situated on Soi Rambutri, this is the
only place in the area with original Salvador Dali paintings on the walls. Downstairs
is cozy - room for about 10-15 people. |
|
The bar seems to attract a lot of English
teachers, but this might be because Hanchai, the half-Swedish, half-Thai owner
used to be an English teacher himself. No food here - only booze! You can get
a beer but Dali's specialises in cocktails. Kaet, Hanchai's manageress, mixes
about 100 fierce brews detailed in what appears to me to be a completely exhaustive
menu of cocktails. 'Regular' cocktails cost 100 Baht. 'Special' cocktails cost
120-150 Baht. We've seen people getting pretty much destroyed after only 2 or
3 of the latter so be warned!
Upstairs the dividing wall between two
rooms has literally been demolished to make a single room where a band called
'FLOW' plays every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (click
here to see a review of FLOW). There's been no attempt to smarten the place
up and it looks all the better for it - you literally watch the band through a
big hole in a wall, or you sit on the floor in front of the band as they play.
Hanchai is proud of the fact that Dali Bar has become an unofficial Swedish Embassy,
although a number of different nationalities frequent (especially when FLOW are
playing - between them the band represent 4 different nationalities themselves!).
He's a young man with no pretensions - unlike other places around Khao San he
actually seems to like the people who come to his bar! Amazingly, he sits and
talks with his customers! Good luck to him and his bar
|
UPDATE: Last time I went to see Hanchai his place was closed... although
it was Saturday afternoon with no one around. Anyone know the full story? Email
us...

| Gulliver's Traveler's
Tavern
2/2 Khao San Road
Banglampoo
Bangkok 10200

Email: winner@linethai.co.th
Coming into Khao San Road at the Police Station
end, the first thing you see is Gulliver's Traveler's Tavern. Check out the bizarre
exterior (a Tuk-Tuk is in prominent place above the main door) and what comes
to mind is this is a class establishment. And your right - this place rules! A
big air-conditioned bar houses food, beer, pool, video, and most of all music!
A range of local and imported beers includes Anstil, Cheng and Singha at 60 Baht
a bottle, and Becks, Heineken and Carlsberg at 65 Baht a bottle. Korona comes
in at 130 Baht. The foreign and Thai food served here is good - 130 Baht for a
big burger. The jukebox has current western music and a DJ plays the latest sounds
until 2:00 in the morning. With cable television, Gulliver's shows the big football
matches and sports events. Happy hour is 15:00-20:00 and you can get spirits and
mixers at 49 Baht. A cool place, well recommended!
"Hi !! I
spent a lot of time in Bangkok and mostly on Khao San during 1999 and 2000. And
must say that Gulliver´s was definetely the coolest place around KS. Nice service,
beatiful girls and cool bear (and air-con, huh huh!!). Really a must to see. Of
course there were other nice pubs, as well, but this was something special. Missing
my next journey to Bangkok and for sure to Gulliver´s.

"We stayed
in Bangkok for 10 days last July being our first stop over before reaching Australia
where we are now and Gullivers Modern Music bar was the most lively and friendliest
bar on Khao San Road. We will return on the way home in June so put the Chang
on ice, we're going to Bangkok twice! Hello to Nina, Kat and all the staff at
Gullivers, we'll bring your caps back - honest!"

thai-youthpeople. Raz"

I had such a great time dancing at Suzie Pub. Everybody that visits Bangkok should
go to Suzie Pub. If not for meeting new people, then definately for the food &
drinks." Brian Kohler, Pittsburgh, USA Send
