The Warehouse Bangkok

Talat Noi is full of buildings that have sat idle for decades. This particular warehouse stood empty for more than 30 years before it came good. The Warehouse, as it’s now known,  revived the building into a community space, its raw exposed-concrete shell kept and worked in with newer design. The ground floor is an open industrial courtyard, home to specialty cafés like The Summer Coffee Co., artisanal gelato, thrift boutiques and a tattoo parlour or two. Head up and you find Clutch, a dark audiophile bar built for vinyl and craft cocktails, then Gearbox Hall, a high-ceilinged room that shifts between house and techno nights, art shows and flea markets. Up top sits Electric Sheep, a fusion restaurant leading to a rooftop lounge, the best perch in the place for sunset. It has hosted plenty over the years, Bangkok Design Week included.

Time Out tip: Pair it with Talat Noi's street art alleys, the old scrap shops and the food strip along Song Wat Road.
