What reviewers say
Music quality—ampiano, afrobeats, reggaeton, throwbacks—and good DJ energy draw some visitors, but this Khao San venue operates under repeated serious complaints. Multiple reviews document racial discrimination at the door (explicit refusal of Black customers), systematic overcharging and false change negotiation, aggressive door recruitment, and refusal to honor transactions.
- Quality music and DJ energy
