All the reasons to visit Bangkok right now

Our first Thai outpost, Soho House Bangkok is situated in Sukhumvit, one of the busiest areas of the city. The thriving neighbourhood is known for its high-end boutiques, diverse restaurants, and eclectic entertainment to keep you occupied day or night.
 
November to March is the optimum time to visit Bangkok, when the heat and humidity are at their lowest, but with temperatures still in the late 20s. And whether you’re in the city for a holiday or live locally, there’s plenty to see, eat and do. Just ask our in-the-know local members, who have shared their top tips for where to visit when you’re in the Thai capital. Don’t forget to stop in at Soho House Bangkok for a cooling dip in the pool or a bite to eat from the Baan Soho menu. Locally inspired dishes, like the Moo Krob Pad Krapow, are a sure-fire hit. 

If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in the city, try our partner hotel, Public House Bangkok.
