Banana Room Club has many faces. Outside, it’s another people-watching street bar. Inside, however, it’s a cabaret arena and nightclub.

Banana Room Club used to have gogo-boy shows, but due to government legislation, it has moved away from that to be more cabaret-show-focused. These are very well-produced, with fancy costumes and fun choreography. They’re suggestive and adult in nature, so you need to be 18+ to get in.

Late at night, after 2 am, it becomes a nightclub, and DJs keep the place rocking until 5 am.

Music: Between shows, the music is your standard international pop music. Once the show starts, it’s choreographed as needed. After 2 am, it’s dance party music for the rest of the night.

Crowd: There is a very mixed crowd at Banana Club Room, which changes throughout the night. The chill-out crowd is replaced by the show-watchers, who are then replaced by the clubbers. Some people stay for the entire night.

Drinks: Sitting outside in the soi, drinks are regular Silom prices, so from around 99 baht up, not including promotions. There’s no cover charge to go inside the Banana Club Room, but the drinks are 400 baht each, so you’re paying for the entertainment.
