What is it? Rejecting the predictable secondhand formula, the team excavates overlooked Thai tracks and long-forgotten songs, restoring them for modern ears. With Songkhla origins, they’ve recently expanded into a snug outpost at Entertainment Project on Charoen Krung, where music, drinks and live sets mingle with easy confidence.
Why we love it: Choices hinge less on big names and more on groove, rhythm and the kind of bassline that still feels startlingly modern. Thai disco, funk and synth-pop from the ‘70s through to the ‘90s claim pride of place, many tracks sounding perfectly at home in a current club set. What makes this place special is that the team at Baa Records actively lead reissue projects, tracking down rightsholders to press vintage Thai recordings properly (and legally) on vinyl. That diligence ensures these songs travel further than nostalgia, reaching listeners who may have otherwise never encountered them.
Time Out Tip: You might encounter a rare seven-inch such as ‘Sin Ha’ or explore the ‘Thailand’s Golden S’ series, releases capable of quietly reshaping how you hear classic Thai music.
