A night in Thonglor
8:00 PM
Touché hombre
Have a Mexican dinner at the hip community mall, 72 Courtyard, in the heart of Thonglor. The walls are decorated with neon murals and wrapped with collages of people in the hip-hop culture, taking you back to the 80’s -90’s.
Start with Cangrejo, the soft shell crab salad mixed served with Crema De Mexicana, spicy Mexican crème with rich and silky texture (380 Baht). Try the restaurant’s signature dish, Chorizo (225Baht), fried octopus topped with avocado slices served on tacos

The dimly lit bar with retro interior is set in the mysterious alley just short of Thonglor Soi 7.
In fact, we can’t tell you exactly where or give you the map. Although not so much a secret now, its secrecy is meant to imitate the secret bars or speakeasies of the 1920s, which are “so called because of the practice of speaking quietly about such a place in public, or when inside it, so as not to alert the police of neighbors.”
There is no menu here: each cocktail is handcrafted for you to offer you an experience that suits your individual taste. You just tell the bartenders what you like and don’t like, and they create.
Marisa Polchan, a frequent go-er, “I love the bespoke experience and the friendly vibe here. Unlike other Thai bars, where I just order my drink and leave, I can just chill at the bar and actually have a conversation with the bartender here.”

Now that you’re a little tipsy, show off your dance moves at the newly opened club across the street from Courtyard 72. The hip-hop club with local DJs is lit up with neon and its crumbly pink and blue walls are covered with scribbles and hologram stickers, giving you that underground raving vibe.
Going above and beyond, Nick Supreda, the owner who was an orphan himself, also hopes to donate some of the profit to his orphan charity, 32 Foundation.
