So nice I went twice. Had the place to myself for a while when I arrived at 10. By 12 the small venue was well filled out. A friendly group of locals and foreigners appreciating the music.

I just keep ending up here every night. Great underground vibes. All vinyl nights every night, 7 days a week 8:00 p.m. To 3:00 a.m. Great selectors. Good place to meet some locals and expats that have good taste in music. The owner P'Tui has some amazing stories.

Came here for a night of minimal techno and had an absolute blast! An extremely talented DJ (Moodyboom) played an excellent 5-6 hour set of minimal techno from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m., completely on vinyl. Top quality spot which is relatively small so you get to know everyone at the venue over the course of an evening making for a very social location. The drinks are well priced. Top quality spot which feels local, underground and niche - great if you want to avoid the mega clubs.

I really enjoyed my experience, entering to the point where I got a little bit tipsy I was about 3 to 4 shots in when I ordered maybe 600 baht worth of drink, that’s when the Bartender/owner I believe try to pull a slick one on me. I gave him 1000 for a 600k bill, He tried to take advantage of the fact that I was a little bit tipsy but at that time bot enough to not notice about my money, not getting returned to me(400k). I stood at the counter for about 10 to 15 minutes, trying to get his attention about my change and when he acknowledge me, he acted clueless and acted like I wanted the same exact order basically another round the one I told him he acted shocked that he forgot that he gave me change. We make eye contact at least 2 to 3 times before he acknowledge me because he knew I wasn’t going away. It sucks because when I first came in, it was a good conversation and etc., and towards the end he did that.
