Chopper Bar

Sukhothai


Travellers and locals congregate at this 2nd-floor bar with a vague cowboy theme for drinks, food (the menu is thoughtfully divided into spicy and nonspicy sections) and live music. Take advantage of Sukhothai’s cool evenings on the rooftop terrace. The bar is owned by Sukhothai's finest locksmith, just in case you get locked out.
