BEARBIE

Up a flight of stairs on Silom Soi 4, this is Thailand's best-known bar for the bear community, drawing a mix of Asian and Western guys.

Silom Soi 4 is where you go out if you're gay in Bangkok. The small street’s crammed with bars and clubs for every slice of the LGBTQ+ scene, and it’s always lively. This place is no different: expect a crowd, drinks, and plenty of conversation.

Bangkok's bear community is a friendly one, and this bar's a natural meeting spot. If you want to know what's happening, or just to check their hours, look up their Facebook page. It's a good idea to do that for any bar on the Soi, really, since things change.
