Teens of Thailand

76 Soi Nana, Charoen Krung Rd. Bangkok 10100

Bartender Niks Anuman-Rajadhon, photographer Note Dudesweet, photographer Kachain Wonglamthong and the late Sqweez Animal guitarist Singha Musikapong changed the game in Bangkok’s Chinatown in 2015 when opening Teens of Thailand (ToT). It led to a neighbourhood revival with Tep Bar soon following, then Niks’ second bar, Asia Today, in 2017. Tiny ToT was the city’s first gin bar, serving Spanish-style gin and tonic specials with changing local fruits and herbs. The bar also offers the country’s largest gin selection, which months back was still under 100 but offering bottles tough to find anywhere else in Thailand. Well-crafted cocktails and a chill vibe in the cosy space has converted many locals to gin.
