Located up under the roof of the Ekamai Mall, Baan Puen means "friends house" in Thai, and lives up to its moniker as a low-brow and relaxed alternative to the Ekamai norm, which usually means expensive hi-so clubs with a lot of attitude and high prices. The owner of the bar here is a guitar player in a local band, and both he and plenty of friends get up to perform regularly here, adding some good local indie music to the inexpensive drinks and food menu. It's not a craft beer or signature cocktail kind of establishment, you are coming here for towers of Singha beer and bottles of whiskey to share with friends, and the place attracts a young somewhat bohemian Thai crowd that wants a no-pretense soft on the pocket place to chill out, socialise, and enjoy some tunes.

- Ekamai's Best Nightlife: "Best way to get here is to take the skytrain to Ekamai and then get a taxi up to Soi 10, with the mall right on your righthand side on the corner. Head upstairs to find the bar, it isn't well signed."
- Best for Ekamai's Best Nightlife Because: For a good spot to chill out on Ekamai without emptying the wallet, Baan Puen is very relaxing.
