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.

TOMA Y TOMA

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.

RANGOON TEA HOUSE @ ICONSIAM

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.

The riverside setting gives the experience a gentler pace, turning familiar Burmese staples into easy-going meals by the water.

It’s an ideal stop for residents along the river who want authentic Burmese cooking without navigating traffic.

The new space feels open and designed for guests who enjoy flavour delivered with quiet confidence.

THE ALLIUM BANGKOK

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.

STOKE

STOKE is bringing the heat to Bangkok’s inferno.

Situated in Thong Lo Soi 6, STOKE revels in plates made for sharing, bold and feisty flavours, and a plethora of drinks, including craft beers, for a relaxed atmosphere.

Led by Chef Shane Reichenbach, the kitchen at STOKE is built around twin grills, a Josper charcoal oven, and a multilayer fire pit, all designed to add smoky depth to every meal.

With delicious options ranging from Cajun prawn pasta to the dazzling Thai wagyu bavette, STOKE is the perfect place to go if you’re craving casual yet refined bites.

ÆTHER

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.

PRALÉT @ SIAM PARAGON

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.

BRASS HOUSE BANGKOK

Dust off those records and put them in your gramophone, jazz is back!

Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen the resurgence of listening and record bars, and now, the Grand Centre Point Prestige is home to a rooftop jazz restaurant of its own.

Brass House Bangkok, open from 5 PM to 1 AM daily, is the perfect place to unwind.

Relax amongst the skyscrapers and sample their interpretation of the modern Thai spirit in their beverage and dining menu, all the while grooving to the smooth bass of the saxophone.

ML BAR

Situated in the heart of Bangkok’s most luxurious district, mL Bar aims to set itself apart from other drinking establishments with their precision.

The bar is designed in accents of red brick, glass, and metal.

mL Bar’s philosophy is “Numbers Matter”; it is also the title of their signature drinks menu.

Cocktails on their rotation range from the classics to more carefully crafted signatures, while their bites are meant to complement whichever drink you possess in your hand.

On the LG floor of the Supalai Icon Sathorn, mL Bar invites all to immerse themselves in the good vibes, great pours, and generous company.

NEW OPENINGS AT CENTRAL PARK

Central Park builds on its early momentum this winter, expanding its retail mix with a new roster of international names.

Fresh boutiques from Paul Smith, Lacoste, Swarovski, and Marc Jacobs deepen its fashion and lifestyle offering, while SALOMON and The North Face broaden the appeal for shoppers seeking technical and performance-driven gear.

This season also marks the debut of BONAVENTURA, launching its first flagship store in Thailand.

As the season of giving arrives, Central Park provides a well-curated selection for anyone looking to shop with ease.

MELAND

MELAND, located on the fifth floor of Siam Paragon, offers a bright, indoor escape through fun and purposeful design.

Created for toddlers up to preteens, the space offers a refreshing counterpart to Bangkok’s outdoor parks, focusing on creative exploration and developmental play.

Children can journey through aquatic landscapes, navigate a towering jungle gym, engage in virtual racing, or explore a miniature city that introduces over 20 professions.

Its thoughtful design encourages little ones to learn through movement and imagination, making it a go-to destination for weekends, holidays, and spontaneous fun with the gang.

DIB BANGKOK

Art connoisseurs and museum enthusiasts can collectively rejoice.

Dib Bangkok, a contemporary art museum, is coming to town.

Dib Bangkok is located in the city’s downtown area by the Rama IV and Sukhumvit 40 intersection.

Housed in a repurposed 1980s steel warehouse, this museum invites patrons to admire the art before they even step across the threshold.

As the realisation of the Osathanugrah family’s vision, Dib Bangkok offers a city-centre space where contemporary art is experienced as a universal human and spiritual language.

VACHERON CONSTANTIN

’Tis the season of luxury at Central Embassy, this time in the realm of horology.

Vacheron Constantin, the world’s oldest watch manufacturer operating to date, has landed at Central Embassy’s gilded halls.

Located on Level G, what separates this boutique from its Siam Paragon branch is the private 19th-century collection “The Maison,” unveiled to celebrate 270 years of manufacturing excellence in timepieces.
