TEP BAR - Cultural Bar of Thailand

thenamestesa

Tep Bar has been dubbed the first cultural bar of Thailand due to its location, the traditional live music which they first started doing (it's fascinating!), and the ya dong they serve (Thai herbal whiskey). Sadly the ya dong was too strong for my taste, so I opted for a craft beer and some sips of sato.

The bar is located inside a traditional house in this area is Chinatown which incorporates both eastern and western architecture. Not many of these have survived, but the younger generation is trying ro restore them and this neighbourhood is becoming an it-spot with lots of bars, restaurants, and cafés!
