The weirdest cocktails in Bangkok which actually taste delicious. In order of yumminess…

Bangkokians will readily tell you that we’re becoming the cocktail kings of the world—well, Southeast Asia at least. With six bars in Asia’s Best Bars 2016 and one of our bartenders crowned the best on the continent, things are looking bright on the local cocktail scene. Here's what we can expect this year.

Cocktail competitions have become big business. Cynics say the number of booze awards has become so oversaturated that to win is all but meaningless, while others praise how competition raises the standard and creativity of what the bar scene offers.

Here’s a calendar of Bangkok’s biggest cocktail comps of the year, and a look at their past winners and losers. 

These bars will live up to expectations, even if your date doesn't. 

This will decide, once and for all, who does the city's best G&T. 

Come for the new Chinese-themed cocktail bar Dim Dim, stay for these other top drinking holes in the neighborhood. 

This is new to Bangkok.
