    Totally agree that Asia Today is better than ToT. It’s the house cats that gave them this advantage. Just kidding, drinks were nothing short of amazing here at Asia Today along with their extremely friendly and lovely bartenders. The male staff doesn’t have a fantastic command of English but he tried his absolute best explaining the entire menu to us and the concept behind the bar. He also checked in on us every so often and made us feel at home, kudos to that. Of course we had their iconic Eastern Honey cocktail served in a beeswax cup. It was a spectacular drink and I thoroughly enjoyed them amplifying wild honey to be the hero behind every drink. Decor here is great too. We returned another night just to find the house cats and gave them some pets.

    A bar specialized in wild honey with respect to local honey hunters/gatherers. The bar is stylish (but small) and is located in an alley, along with 3 other interesting bars in the same area. I came here after seeing it being featured in Netflix's Midnight Asia show and was not disappointed. The vibe is fun and their honey smells great. Price is really high though. So, probably not a place I can come often. Anyway, as someone who has to drive, I appreciate the bar having 4 non-alcoholic options to choose from. (That is 260 Baht each; whereas the cocktails could cost 440 Baht each.) Ps. You can park by the main road in front of another bar called Independence.

    I can only say that a perfect bar offers a perfect experience. It truly lives up to its reputation as one of the ASIA 50 bars in Bangkok. ASIA TODAY demonstrates ambitious creativity with local Thai ingredients and impeccable attention to detail. The Old Fashioned I had there is by far the best version I've ever had in Thailand, and the local honey adds a rich complexity to the drink. Overall, the six cocktails we had with friends showcased the cultural and ethnic fusion that defines Bangkok as a diverse city. From now on, every time I come to Bangkok, I will undoubtedly visit this place.

    Asia Today is on the Asia's 50 best bars list. And we decided to go to Chinatown and check this place out. We loved the location in a small lane where the bar exists along with local long term residents. It's a lovely mix you can't find in other gentrified parts of Bangkok. A bit eclectic but amazing. The bar itself was beautiful and red and could fit anywhere from Ginza to Brooklyn. The staff was very friendly. The classic menu consists of a lot of wold honey. Should be tried by all. The cozy space is a perfect bar to unwind in Bangkok. I'm sure the bar will be on all sought after lists for a long time to come. The cocktails were very good. And each drink was meticulously prepared by the team. The hard work and passion was evident. We had a great time. 🥂👍

    A lovely bar tucked away out of sight. Well crafted, expertly balanced drinks by skilled people behind the bar. The only reason not to recommend it would be to selfishly want to hoard the find as it were. A very happy place to be. The interiors are also great. Really nice people there. Enjoy! And cheers!

    Another one of Asia’s Best Bars, Asia Today is located in a tiny alley you’d expect to find nothing in. But there they stand, proud, serving an Artisnal AF menu based on Wild Honey. We ordered a Whisky Based drink, made to our liking, and a drink of the Bartenders choice. Both did not disappoint. The establishment is rather small and the team is superb, so definitely a must-do when in this part of town. Would recommend to go with an open mind since you may not spot the classics, except perhaps the Bee’s Knees, on the menu, but speak to the Team, they’ll pull out one banger after the other for you.

    This is a very special bar which provides the natural wild honey, based on the wild honey makes various flavors of cocktails. The honey wax made mug is excellent specially experience for me, top level of cocktail it was, also friendly staffs always smile, if you go there too late, probably must drinking stand up or wait for the seats.

    Me and my friend had a really great experience !The bar, small and intimate, is conducive to good atmosphere and conversation. We tasted three different cocktails, all delicious. It is a true laboratory of culinary experience and flavor research. Being a big fan of citrus and honey, I was over the moon. The staff is professional and super friendly. Very serious too, they put us in confidence and security to ensure that we had the best experience in peace and privacy. A little gem in Chinatown. Thank you all, we will definitely be back! I do recommend 200% ♥️

    We had a great experience here at Asia Today. It’s located in an interesting and beautiful spot in Chinatown down an alleyway. The bar is small and intimate with knowledgeable and amazing staff and mixologists. Our friend is sober and they made her an amazing mocktail so everyone is more than welcome. Their cocktails are as delicious as they are gorgeous. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in Bangkok.

    What a fantastic first-time experience at this bar! The bartenders were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to suggest cocktails tailored to our preferences. Each drink was crafted with great thought and attention to detail, resulting in a truly delightful tasting experience. I highly recommend supporting this local business for their outstanding service and exceptional cocktails. We will definitely be back for more!

    Cool cocktail bar really in a dirty part of town but when you try it, you'll be amazed. It's a bit small, maybe could seat 25 at a push. Also as you can tell, it has the nightclub lighting haha. They promote a wild honey which that include in all their cocktails. I tried a couple and they were really well balanced and strong. Also come here if you want to play with the cat who's the real boss here.

    Really good cocktails here, and a cool, kind of speakeasy vibe. The cocktail with the dark honey sitting on the bottom of the glass was superb (cant remember the name, was the fourth drink of the night lol). Great date spot: The people there do such a great job and are so friendly. Highly recommend!

    Absolutely awesome place. Hidden in a street that I would never have walked into if I didn’t known this bar was there. Very special cocktails, every season a new menu. I tried 3, and they were delicious and every drink is a true artwork. This is not a cheap place with the common cocktail menu, but a place for people who really appreciate the art of perfectly balanced and exciting cocktails. Oh and by the way, the crew working there are so kind, they love to socialize and make you really feel welcome.. ♥️

    Went here with my cousin, after trying most of the other bars on this Chinatown hip bars circuit. I had drink c, bitter have my moni, and though it was pricey (440 baht), it might have been the single most tasty drink I’ve ever had in Thailand! Good vibes, friendly staff, complimentary drinking water, and an overall great experience.

  • 4/5 alex d. 1 year ago on Google
    Again one of the best bars in Asia and a spinoff of another best bar just next door "teens of Thailand" this interesting bar is themed based on........ Honey! Definitely interesting and quirky, definitely had fun with the bartenders and surely worth visiting. However I only gave it 4/5 because I (unfortunately or unluckily) didn't really die for the cocktail i chose. Bar is also funky and unpretentious which is no issue with me but also very small and hard to accommodate a bigger group. If you're into honey and cocktails, definitely your thing!! I don't regret visiting at all. Especially for the Chinatown secret vibes.

    A small bar in Soi Nana featuring honey cocktails. Bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. You can also buy the honey they used in their cocktails.

  • 5/5 Kanna O. 4 years ago on Google
    Exceptional high quality drinks from artisanal bar in China town. Cocktail bar at night and Cold Brew coffee during day time. Totally worth a visit

  • 4/5 Thaddeus L. 5 months ago on Google • 21 reviews
    If you are nearby China Town, do pay a visit if you’re a honey lover like me. They have multiple local honey and use them in different cocktail. Personally love the CC Certified Clarification Strawberry! It might be a lil on a sweeter note but that’s the sweetness from honey not sugar! It’s fragrant with hint of hojicha at the background. There are also a few more bars nearby. So make it a bar hopping!

  • 5/5 Sarah 8 months ago on Google
    One of the BEST place to get espresso martini. They have their own organic honey and coffee farms in the North Thailand. Super cool and friendly atmosphere here. There was cats sitting around randomly but not anymore theses days.

  • 5/5 Hydi N. 4 years ago on Google
    Very tasty mocktails, waiter very patient and make sure they customised our preference drinks for us. Cozy atmosphere for groups!

  • 5/5 Eric S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great tiny bar with good drinks and friendly staff. The chief made my drink 3 times before he was satisfied with the result. I’ve been happy with #2 already (he didn’t offered me #1 - just saw him tasting) and needed to pay only for one and had 2 - thanks 🙏🏼

  • 5/5 C. P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great bar with friendly and knowledgeable staff. Had a few different cocktails with interesting twists using local ingredients. Would love to sample more of them next time I visit.

  • 5/5 Fadi H. 10 months ago on Google
    Proper cocktail bar with a good vibe and a mixed crowd. Signature cocktails are all honey-based and they are delicious! I think they also make the classics. The entire street is actually really funky and vibrant

  • 5/5 Lorraine H. 1 year ago on Google
    Cocktails are phenomenal, trip hop playlist is amazing, and there's a pet cat. What more could you want from a bar?? 👌

  • 5/5 Carlo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Divine cocktails, interesting artwork, and ultra cool vibe/ambience. Super friendly staff (and cat), too!

    The prettier younger sibling of the famous Teens Of Thailand, Asia Today will definitely introduce you to the world of Thai Creativity! The exterior is very unassuming yet hints on how creative the interior would be, and once you enter the building, you will be welcomed by the hip, fun, creative atmosphere created by the combination of photographs, textured walls and designed lighting. They offer a menu of honey infused cocktails, with various honey sourced from different regions of Thailand. If you have watched Midnight Asia in Netflix, you would probably get starstruck with Makham, like me. All in all, this is one of the places you should go to fully experience Bangkok’s ever evolving nightlife.

  • 4/5 Subhojit S. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is indeed better than Teens of Thailand! Although they’re both great. The cocktails here are much better and so well presented. Absolute hidden gem although I doubt anymore thanks to Netflix. We had a great time here and made some new friends as well. Cheers guys for amazing cocktails.

  • 5/5 Pongkhun P. 1 year ago on Google
    Intimate vibe, snuggly small bar which serve various wild honey (from around Thailand) based cocktails. Better ask a lot of questions to learn interesting stories of each ingredients from very passionate and knowledgeable staffs. The price is definitely expensive but looking forward to try other cocktails for later.
