99 COCKTAILS BAR

A no-frills cocktail stop near Khao San Road where the name says it all: fast, fruit-forward mixes from 99 THB that won’t blow your nightly budget. Pull up a plastic stool, scan the neon board, and watch tuk-tuks glide by while your mojito, gin tonic, or rum punch is shaken hard and poured cold. It’s an easy warm-up spot before you dive into the live bands and clubs, or a last drink on the stumble home. Expect pop hits floating in from neighboring bars, friendly pourers who keep things moving, and tall cups you can carry as you wander. If you like it less sweet, just ask — they’ll dial back the syrup and load up the lime. Best for simple classics, quick service, and wallet-happy rounds with friends. Come early evening for a street-side perch and people-watching; swing back after midnight when the crowd thins and the pours get a touch stronger.
