The first bar in the street is right on the corner, facing both Silom Road and Soi 4. It’s primarily a cocktail bar but also has food and entertainment. Like most other bars, there are tables and chairs right on the sidewalk. However, as it’s right at the front, while super convenient, you don’t get the complete ‘feel’ of the activity deeper into the soi.

What is great is that the familiar Thai food menu offers daily specials, making it an excellent opportunity for an early dinner and some excellent cocktails before venturing further into the soi.

Those looking for entertainment can see drag queen shows upstairs every Thursday night from 10 pm to 2 am.

Music: DJs spin house and techno music to get you in the party mood.

Crowd: It’s a very mixed crowd at Silver Sand Bar. Many people stop here on their way to the BTS on their way home from work and stay for the night!

Drinks: Standard bar prices apply here; however, there are promotions. For example, from 5 pm to 8 pm, there’s free-flow wine for 999 baht per person on Monday to Wednesday nights.

Dress: No rules apply here; come as you are. Guys in tank tops and short shorts mix with people in suits who have just arrived from the office.
