Get lit with your gals without breaking the bank at Bangkok’s best ladies’ nights.
By The Masala Girls
Let’s face it, drinks are expensive (especially with that pesky wage gap between us and our male counterparts). More often than not, instead of wining and unwinding, we end up wining and whining – about the price of the wine. Despite Bangkok’s reputation as a boozilicious metropolis, it’s still hard to know when and where we ladies can go where it’ll get real low, and by that we mean the price of the drinks.
So for all the singles who don’t want to mingle, or ladies just looking to catch a break for the evening, we’ve rounded up the best locations in the city to cut loose with some booze. Because what’s better than when it’s raining men? When it’s raining men(us) of cheap drinks, with no men in sight.
Above Eleven
Wednesday night is our night in the first Peruvian-Japanese bar in town, which promises spectacular views of the cityscape, an architectural art installation for the chic chicks among us, and, most importantly, mojitos, sangrias, and margaritas for only THB 200 net. Located on the 33rdand 34thfloor of the Fraser Suites, this rooftop bar will be playing salsa music all night long, so bring your dancing shoes because the girls who sashay together, slay together.
