It had been a while since I caught up with my old crew, and finally, we all landed in Bangkok. Everyone’s hustling in different cities these days, so when we got the chance to reunite, we knew we had to do it right—with good drinks and even better conversations. Our spot of choice? The insanely hyped Dry Wave Cocktail Studio. Not only is it a Bangkok favorite, it just ranked No.5 on the “Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025” list. Fifth in all of Asia—definitely worth checking out.
The mastermind behind it: Palm
The man behind the magic is Supawit “Palm” Muttarattana—a major name in Thailand’s cocktail scene. Before this, he was a driving force behind Bangkok classics like Vesper and Backstage Cocktail Bar.
The Signature Vibe: Super Classic Duo Cocktails
What really sets Dry Wave apart is their “Super Classic” series. They take two classic cocktails, blend their essence, and craft something refreshingly new. It’s like a remix of flavors—familiar yet full of surprises.
We each took turns ordering a few cocktails — and honestly, we were blown away.
The Vibe: Like Stepping into a Dream
Tucked inside an artsy space on Thonglor 13, the bar’s design hits different:
- There’s a big tree right in the middle—giving it an outdoor treehouse kind of feel. Super chill.
- Inside, you’ll find a mix of wood, sandstone, and ceramic textures—blended with color palettes inspired by artists like Hockney and Rothko.
- The soundtrack? Everything from disco and hip hop to 90’s rock. They totally get the vibe right.
Not Just Popular—Respected
- Shortly after opening in 2024, it was already highlighted by Asia’s 50 Best Bars as one to watch.
- By 2025, it shot straight to No.5—earning the “Disaronno Highest New Entry Award” as the biggest climber of the year.
- That’s huge for an independently run bar in Bangkok—seriously impressive.
What About Prices?
Totally reasonable—drinks range from THB 370–400. Considering the creativity and quality, it’s a great deal.
Final Word: A Perfect Spot to Hang
This bar feels just like our night:
Coming together after all life’s chaos. No need for drama, just something real, deep, and damn good to drink.
Dry Wave is that rare place where you can feel the craft behind the cocktail while still totally relaxing. Whether you’re toasting to old friends, making new memories, or just soaking in the vibe—it hits the spot.
