Club Culture

This exotic dance music sanctuary on quiet Sri Ayutthaya Road is the creation of the Club Astra team (a casualty of RCA's notoriously fickle crowds). And, frankly, with no other clubs nearby it's a venture rife with risk - Club Culture can succeed only on its own merits. Fortunately, being housed in a traditional Thai building (formerly a restaurant / theatre) complete with original fittings, mean these are considerable. For starters, there's the gabled and intricately carved teak-wood entrance – a dramatic opener that continues with the ornate panelling of the foyer, right through to the motifs of the spacious, low-slung main room.

The dancefloor is also superb, a blend of empty grooving space surrounded by the stand up tables so beloved of Thai clubbers. And the sound system kicks like a mistreated mule. Sofas at the back and a floor cushion lounge zone are a lazy clubbers dream - chill out without missing a beat. Most importantly of all the line-up's are hard to fault: international DJ's like Chicks on Speed and Ken Ishii spinning on weekends, local party organizers like Dude Sweet stepping up during the week. Add an infectious vibe courtesy of the friendly Thai/Farang crowds, and suddenly that risk of failure looks more like unexpected success.

Concept CM2

More entertainment complex than club, this stylish modern basement beneath the Novotel Siam Square Hotel pulls in an eclectic mix of tourists and girls every night of the week. The sprawling main room is focussed around a stage, with a dance-floor and many raised tables and stools fringing it.

Here the all-singing, all-dancing All Star Band plays the latest R&B, hip-hop, dance, pop and rock hits (Thursday through to Tuesday). In between their energising sets, DJ's Bom, Kriss and Ex serve up similarly commercial sounds, pumping the latest house and dance tracks while also working up a frenzy with promo competitions and crowd-rousing banter. They also fly in international DJ's for special guest appearances (check our Club Nights section for weekly events schedule).

Those preferring to bump and grind can do so in the suitably moody Boom Room. Adjoining the main room, the latest hip-hop and R&B tracks are spun here. There's also a rather sexy looking new adjoining venue Bar@Siam, offering sleek, comfy furnishings alongside sports TVs, pool tables, air hockey, international food and pinball machines. There's an extensive drinks menu offered throughout, with cocktails, wines, spirits, beers, even champagne available. Service throughout is quick and friendly with bars at each end and plenty of table waiters roaming the floor.
