Nophaburi  

For a taste of Thai spirits, head to this small, eclectic bar in the Old City. Every drink features a local twist, whether it’s an ingredient like larb powder or Suea Dam, an aromatic Thai liqueur made with nine herbs. Despite its compact size (it seats just a dozen or so), Nophaburi has a lively energy each night, with DJs spinning sets and bartenders cracking jokes with guests. If you’re after creative cocktails without the frills, this is your spot.
