The Balcony Pub

This place seems to be the most popular spot on Soi 4, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s a straightforward place with friendly service and reasonable prices. The servers are eager (maybe a little too eager) to take care of you, but have no hidden agenda. The food ranges from tame Thai dishes to comfort-food options for weary travelers with western tastes. If you’re looking for a spot to relax and escape the sensory overload that is Bangkok, this will do the trick; sit on the terrace and observe the activity on Silom Soi 4 and try to decode the hidden subtext of what’s going on around you.

This is, in my opinion, the best bar in Silom Soi 4 Bangkok. Very good food and drinks selection and great for meeting friends and watching the passing parade. Inside you can sit at the bar, play pool and listen to the live band.

I visit here a few times a year, and it’s always fun. A friend from Pattaya joined me, so we stopped by the same restaurant to eat and relax. Everything was fine until it was time to check the bill. The staff asked my friend how much tip he would give. He felt a little frustrated—he thought they should have just smiled and greeted him instead. He had planned the meal, but being directly asked about the tip made him feel uncomfortable.”
