Lost in Thaislation
Hide away in Thonglor, behind an unassuming entrance near BTS Thong Lo, and you’ll discover Lost in Thaislation—a cocktail bar that imagines what it means to “translate solid to liquid.” Led by female mixologist Fah-beer Suchada Sophajaree, the concept is playful but precise: each drink draws inspiration from beloved Thai dishes and street food, reinterpreting them as cocktails with surprising twists. Inside, the space is deliberately sleek and minimal. It’s intimate but not cramped: low lighting, clean lines, subtle design details that let the drinks take center-stage. You might find yourself ordering something like “Mango Sticky Rice” turned into cocktail form, or a tipple infused with flavours like miso-ginger or chicken rice, fizzed up or balanced with herbs. The bartenders enjoy guiding you through the stories behind the drinks: what food inspired them, how local ingredients are used, etc. The atmosphere is best in evening hours: after dark the bar comes alive, but not with loud music or chaos. It’s more about immersion—savouring flavour, chatting, perhaps a bit of discovery. The crowd seems mixed: cocktail lovers, locals looking for something different, people who enjoy food + drink mashups, and those who like hidden gems. If you want something more adventurous than your classic cocktail, but still enjoyable without being gimmicky, this is a spot to explore. Expect queues or limited seating since it’s not huge. Reservations or arriving early might help.
