Suan Lum Night Bazaar near Lumphini Park has a really good beer gerden with a great selection of draught beers. There's a big canvas roof that slides open when it starts to rain, which is a damn fine idea, too. I've been there a few times, but last week I actually remembered to take a camera (although I forgot to take lots of photos).
The place is about the size of a football pitch and has a large stage at one end with a TV showing either footy or Animal Planet hanging above the singers and dancers. Ther's also a telly at the other end of the beer garden. There are a variety of singers who do everything from Thai ballads to Hip-hop 'songs' going on about 'popping that muthafucker's ass', which is nice.
Usually, I don't get hassled when I go there, but this time we were surrounded by a load of waiters tryng to force their beer and food onto us. I wanted to drink Bass as German beers are crap, so I wandered off to find the Bass lady. And here she is...
The Beer Garden is surrounded by food stands selling a good selection of Thai food (there's some good sausages too). You need to purchase some coupons (near the toilets) and away you go.
Or you can be lazy and order from the food girl, but this seems to cost twice as much. As we were drinking, finger foods seemed a good idea; and it was!
The food is pretty good here and they also sell wine or cocktails if you're a bird or bat for the other team. From memory they sell Warstiener, Paulaner, Bass, Tiger, Heineken, Chang, Singha and another couple of German beers.
Well worth a trip if you're in Bangkok (and the Night Bazaar is not too bad to wander around either).
