Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

The blacklight idea could have come across as kitschy, but it works, primarily because it gives the space an atmosphere unlike anything else on Ratvithi Road. Everything glows, the place seems louder than it actually is, and people strike up conversations with strangers. That's precisely what makes it so appealing. Backpackers, long-term expats, and regular Thai customers share the bar, and it's this mix that makes the place interesting, not the drinks menu.

Come by if you're looking for a night out, not a quiet one. There are drinks and music here, and you'll likely stay longer than planned. So, if you're hoping to relax with a book and a beer, this isn't the place for you. It's casual, like most bars in the old town, meaning nobody cares what you're wearing. My tip: go in as your second or third stop, after you've eaten and the evening has gotten going a bit. Arriving at 6 pm to an empty room won't be very pleasant.
