Ladprao 122 (Soi Ladprao 122) is a side street in Bangkok with live-music bars and local clubs where groups book tables for the night. This guide follows one group's night out there, from an early, quiet stop at Bangearn Bar through Tasty Bar and Hong Samudd to a crowded late set at Wake Up. One of the group, who wrote up the night, described the area as a local scene near student housing, on the road that connects Ladprao and Ramkhamhaeng.
The four stops
Each venue name below links to its map pin in the Ladprao 122 and Soi Mahadthai area. Use the pins, because businesses elsewhere have similar names.
Bangearn Bar
A high-ceilinged room with live music, food and a pool table. It was quiet when the group arrived early, and the writer found the staff attentive, with no pressure to order.
Check the band's start time and table availability before going; a quiet early evening says little about how busy the room gets later.
Tasty Bar
The writer found Tasty smaller and more polished than the other stops. The group's reserved tables were ready at about 10 PM, and more tables were being added by the time they left.
The address is 245/8, Soi Ladprao 122. Confirm the reservation deadline and that there is room for your whole group.
Hong Samudd
A quieter front area with a pond and live music, and a much louder, crowded club at the back with bands and DJs.
Ask which area your reservation covers. The map pin is labelled ห้องสมุด มหาดไทย.
Wake Up
The group ended the night at this busy live-music venue, at a table near the band. The six or seven guests still there heard a second band start at about 3 AM, and it was the writer's favourite stop.
Check the night's event and table minimum before booking. The map pin reads "มหาดไทย: Wake Up' Live Music & Bangkok EDM DJ".
Planning the evening
Pick one main venue and keep a nearby alternative. Doing all four stops means juggling table reservations and settling several bills; the group skipped Local Bar so as not to lose a later reservation at Hong Samudd.
For conversation, Bangearn early in the evening and Hong Samudd's front area were the quietest parts of the night. For a late live-band set, the writer preferred Wake Up. The group saw each place at a different hour, so this is not a like-for-like ranking. Ask which room and performance your booking covers.
Fin, Say Yes and Mahadthai also came up in the discussion of the night, without first-hand descriptions of their rooms. Part of the group got into Say Yes, but the writer and later arrivals were turned away, for reasons that are not known; one night's door decision is not a fixed entry policy. Mahadthai is also the name on Wake Up's map pin, and it is not clear whether the Mahadthai mentioned separately is a different venue.
What the group reported spending
These are the group's approximate bills in Thai baht (THB), not current prices. The group changed size during the evening, and the write-up gives no itemised receipts or breakdown of taxes and service charges.
| Stop | Reported amount |
|---|---|
| Bangearn Bar | A few thousand baht |
| Tasty Bar | About THB 2,000 |
| Hong Samudd | About THB 4,000 |
| Wake Up | About THB 1,500 required to obtain the table |
At Bangearn Bar, about 15 people shared roughly a dozen beers, one bottle of whisky, mixers and food; no exact total was given. Tasty Bar's bill covered one round of beers and food for a group that had grown to almost 20.
At Hong Samudd, the group ordered two bottles of whisky, some beer and mixers. The writer also remembered a THB 2,300 Black Label promotion without mixers and a cheaper whisky at around THB 800 with mixers; bottle sizes were not given.
At Wake Up, the six or seven who remained ordered food and shots as well as beer to reach the spend required for their table. No separate table fee was mentioned.
Ask for a dated menu or a written quote, and confirm whether an amount is per table or per person, whether mixers count, and whether there is a separate admission charge. The companion Bangkok local club booking guide explains how to compare those terms.
Getting there and home
The group met near Terminal 21 in Asoke and travelled in privately arranged vans, which took roughly 25 minutes in the rain. Traffic varies, so save the exact destination pin and allow extra time when agreeing an arrival deadline.
The Yellow Line serves Mahat Thai station (YL06). Check the current timetable for your direction and any connecting train, then use your venue's pin for the rest of the way. The line does not run overnight, so arrange a taxi or another ride home after a late finish.
On weekends, the writer found several places going until around 5 AM and others closing earlier. Ask each venue for its closing and last-entry times on your night.
Sound and comfort
Hong Samudd's rear room was loud enough that some of the group left. Bring earplugs and wear them properly, stay away from the loudspeakers and take breaks in quieter areas.
If conversation matters more than standing close to the stage, request a table away from the speakers. Keep the booking confirmation and destination pin on your phone, and agree a meeting point in case the group splits up.
What we checked: We read one group member's online account of an undated night out, and checked the four venues' map pins and the Yellow Line's service information on 30 September 2026. Bills, times and impressions here come from that night, not from current prices or opening hours.
