About The Photobooth

Slip past the functioning photo booth off Banthat Thong Road and leave the humid soi at the door. Inside, low lighting sets an unhurried tempo. Discerning night owls zero in on drinks riffing on local street-food culture—smoky tea infusions and herbal notes tucked inside retro CD cases. Staff walk through every pour with quiet precision, keeping water glasses topped up throughout the night. By 9:45 pm on Fridays, a live band takes over to carry the room late.

  • Hidden Entrance: A functioning photo booth hides the doorway, trading the busy street for an understated cocktail den.
  • Street Food Cocktails: Rotating menus borrow flavor cues from local street eats, featuring infusions like Tom Yam notes and smoked tea.
  • Friday Live Music: Live bands and vocalists take the floor on Friday nights starting at 9:45 pm.
  • Attentive Hospitality: Staff offer patient drink guidance and maintain topped-up water glasses throughout the visit.
