Imagine sitting in a rennovated garage full of retro relics that serves outstanding drinks and you've got Shades of Retro. This cozy happening neighborhood bar, hidden down a sub soi of Thong Lor, is crammed in every niche with everything from old Vespas to vintage LP's, gramophones, and all sorts of assorted bric a brac surrounding each table. Free popcorn is served nonstop, and the caiparinhias are the best you will find outside of Brazil. Indie tunes are on the sound system, and the decibel level is low enough to enjoy conversation. An excellent place to chill out, and yes, the furniture (and everything else) is for sale.

Bangkok Local Expert
- Bars: "It is a bit hard to find Shades of Retro, best to take a taxi to Thong Lor Soi 21 and look across the street, where you will see Soi Thararom 2, which is between Thonglor 16 and 18 on the even side. The bar is 100m down Thararom 2 on the right."
- Best for Bars Because: For Bangkok's funkiest bar and best caiparinhias, Shades of Retro merits a visit.
