Thailand

Bangkok

The Southeast Asian electronic underground is home to a rich, colourful scene. 

Local selector Sunju Hargun draws from his Thai and Bangkok identity for his artistry, along with his Indian and Japanese roots. With over 15 years of experience working within the underground scene, he's been featured in clubs like De School, and played at festivals such as Horst in Brussels, Organik in Taipei, and Japan's Paramount. Alongside his DJing career, he's the co-founder of Karma Klique – a group of friends in Bangkok who are at the helm of events such as Karma Kastle – and Siamese Twins Records.

As someone who's local to the area and has a deep understanding of what Bangkok has to offer, in this guide Harjun shares his recommendations on how to ring in the new year in a more laidback, low-key manner. Not in the mood to party? Hargun's selections range from green escapes to listening bars.

A therapeutic escape to the greener side of Bangkok for nature lovers and daytrippers. Tip: for the sunset, you can visit Hidden Woods.

Located in the historic venue of Bangkok 1899, Bar Na is a fantastic addition to Bangkok's growing scene of alternative listening bars. The atmosphere and music is spot on, complemented by a standout cocktail selection. Here's a tip: try the Pisco Sour.

Built with love, and managed by a group of amazing folks. It's fun, cosy and a space to dance with a versatile selection of music being played throughout the week. It also serves up great cocktails. A little tip: don't forget to flash a big smile and give the bartender, Arm, a high five.

All about immersing yourself in music at this bar and embracing the idea of experiencing full-length albums from beginning to end. The owner, a passionate vinyl collector, shares this collection with guests through an audiophile-grade sound system. Get involved!

A great place for runners to sweat out the week or weekend.
