Chinatown's bar scene is on Soi Nana, the Chinatown one off Charoen Krung near Wat Traimit, not the Sukhumvit one: a dozen cocktail bars, natural-wine bars and a jazz room in restored shophouses, plus a few more along Song Wat Road by the river. Yaowarat Road itself is the street-food street until about midnight; the bars run to 1am or 2am. Go for a drink after eating on the road, not instead.

Frequently asked questions
How many bars and clubs are there in Yaowarat (Chinatown)?
69 venues inside the Yaowarat (Chinatown) box we draw over Google Maps coordinates, 61 rated at an average of 4.7. By scene: 20 cocktail bars, 10 live music and 9 karaoke.
What time do bars close in Yaowarat (Chinatown)?
2am. Not on the 4am list; most bars here close at 1am. Of the 53 venues here with hours on Google, 2 list a close of 3am or later anyway, which says something about enforcement, not the law.
How do you get to Yaowarat (Chinatown) and back?
MRT Wat Mangkon is 360 m from the centre of the area (about 5 minutes on foot), MRT Hua Lamphong 590 m. MRT Wat Mangkon and Hua Lamphong are a five-minute walk.
What should I wear in Yaowarat (Chinatown)?
Anything. Across Bangkok the rule that catches people out is the rooftop door: no shorts, flip-flops or sleeveless shirts at the high-end places.
Run a bar or club in Yaowarat (Chinatown)?
Every venue on this page came from Google Maps, which means the hours, the phone number and the photo are whatever Google had on 8 September 2026. Two ways to fix that. The ✓ Verified badge is free: we confirm the listing is real and current, you link to it from your own site or Instagram, and it moves above every unverified venue in these lists. Featured is the paid slot at the top of the scene and area pages, ฿990 a month, sold per page so the number of them stays small.
Sources and verification
- Venues, hours, prices, amenity flags and popular-times histograms: Google Maps, scraped on 8 September 2026 for the central nightlife areas listed above. Outer districts were not part of this pass, so a bar in Bang Na or Lat Phrao is not missing by judgement, it is missing by scope.
- A venue's scene (cocktail bar, live music, open past 2am) is computed from Google's category labels, its amenity flags, its name or its listed hours, never asserted by us; the exact rules are in the site's source, and a venue no rule catches appears only under its area.
- Legal facts checked 8 September 2026: the 4am zones against The Nation, Coconuts and the Bangkok Post; retail hours against the Royal Gazette notice of 28 May 2026; the drinking age against the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act B.E. 2551.
- Ratings shown are Google's and are never marked up as ours; no Google review text is reproduced.
- Area box: longitude 100.505 to 100.52, latitude 13.738 to 13.75; a venue is here because its Google Maps coordinates fall inside, not because of its district column. Back to the nightlife hub.
