Tuba

Tuba is part bar, part Italian-Thai restaurant, part vintage furniture showroom, with almost everything on the walls technically for sale. It feels unmistakably Bangkok, and it has survived because a loyal crowd keeps coming back. The karaoke room fits the same spirit: less a dedicated singalong zone than the natural extension of a long dinner that refuses to end. The song selection leans Thai and English, and is updated regularly enough to keep things current without overthinking it. Come for the laab moo tod, stay for the strong cocktails, and you will probably end up singing longer than planned.
