A backpacker classic that’s been around for decades, THC Rooftop Bar is all about relaxed reggae beats, floor and bean bag seating, beers served by the bottle and a mess of UV paint graffiti on the walls. Historically it used to overlook Thapae Gate but has since moved just down the road on the inside of the mat, although still offering the same unpretentious service to a steady stream of budget travellers, hippie nomads and general chill-seakers. It may not be high-end, but THC captures a vibe that’s getting harder to find in our increasingly stylish city, and for that it deserves a spot of recognition as an original gangster in the rooftop bar scene.
9 Mun Mueang Road. 5pm-midnight.
