Bangkok continues to evolve with a fresh wave of restaurant, bar, retail, and cultural openings. From rooftop cocktails to family-friendly spaces, these new spots are worth adding to your list.
Nestled between Sarnies Cantina and Caritos on Sukhumvit 22, Toma y Toma, on the second floor, brings a lively twist to Bangkok’s bar scene.
Its name, Spanish for “to take” and Latin American slang for “have a drink,” sets the tone for an energetic, convivial experience.
Created by the team behind F*nkytown, the bar offers Latin-inspired cocktails that are bold, colourful, and full of character.
Whether you’re stopping by for an after-work drink or settling in for a night on the town, consider Toma y Toma for your next haunt.

For those who have followed Rangoon Tea House since its early days, the new ICONSIAM location offers a fresh excuse to settle into the palate you already trust.

There is no shortage of coastal kitchens around the world to explore, although the price of that burst of flavour often comes in the form of a long-haul flight.
The Athenee Hotel, A Luxury Collection Hotel, brings the Mediterranean much closer to home with the refreshed identity of The Allium Bangkok, recently reintroduced as a social dining and bar concept under the direction of Chef Clément Hernandez.
Flavours like spice, brine, and citrus are infused in their offerings, and the vibrant communal spirit of the coasts lends itself naturally to meals, sips, and steady beats.

The Bangkok skyline is a beauty, and not just in the eyes of a beholder.
Maybe that’s why there’s no shortage of rooftop bars in the city.
Daring to do something different, a new rooftop bar opens above Dusit Central Park.
From Watermelon Group, the team behind Crimson Room, Rabbit Hole, and Luma, comes ÆTHER (yes, spelt with the Latin ligature): a 360° rooftop cocktail bar offering an experiment with the senses as it dazzles patrons through cinematic ambience and sound design.
Taking you to the edge of sensation, ÆTHER will leave you with a feeling you will never forget.

After touching down in Thailand earlier this year, PRALÉT has wasted no time establishing itself, with its Ekkamai Corner, EmQuartier, and Central Park outlets known for fast-selling batches of its signature sourdough doughnuts.
The Singapore brand has since gathered a steady cult following, admired for its premium ingredients, slow-rise dough, and distinct square silhouette.
Now at Siam Paragon, guests can find signatures like the Burnt butter honey glaze and the ethereal Kati cloud, each crafted with PRALÉT’s meticulous approach.
