Sala Saneha

What is it? A 70 year old building in soi Decho, Silom, housing a wine bar, restaurant, small cinema and bookstore, all under one roof. 

Why we love it: They've done a brilliant job preserving the original character of the building. Walls, windows, doors and even old rooms remain intact, with a vintage safe cleverly repurposed into wine storage. Work through a wine list that runs to over 2,000 bottles, then sink into indie flicks or classic Thai cinema in a room that feels more 'jazz bar' than 'screening room'. With just 25 mismatched seats to choose from, we couldn't help but take a peek. The small cinema is romantic, screening new films each week. They're developing a proper bookstore corner soon as well, which should round things out nicely. Between the wine selection, the films and the promise of shelves full of books, Sala Saneh is the sort of neighbourhood hangout you simply can't help coming back to.

Time Out tip: Film screenings focus on Thai classics but usually come with English subtitles, making them accessible for both locals and international visitors.
