342 Bar
About
Skip the Khao San chaos for an hour and cross the river: 342 Bar is the breezy rooftop at Baan Wanglang Riverside, opposite the Grand Palace. Hop a ferry from Phra Athit or Tha Chang to the Wang Lang/Wat Rakang side, ride the lift up, and aim for sunset when the Chao Phraya lights up. Weekend sunset tables go fast.
Cocktails lean Thai-tropical—lemongrass G&Ts, solid mojitos—around 250–350 THB (~$7–$10). No buckets, no EDM: just river traffic, soft beats, and skyline views of Wat Arun and palace spires. Free entry, casual dress. Best for couples and small crews who want a calmer, photogenic drink about 15 minutes from Khao San.
