The name references Bangkok as it was in 1978 and the concept carries this era through the interior and menu. The kitchen covers Thai classics in the traditional format inspired by Bangkok food culture from that era. Tom yum runs in the original spiced and soured format alongside the more modern version for comparison. Thai curry preparations cover older recipe formats with aromatic paste-based sauces from the period. Pad kra pao in the original style runs alongside the standard version for a heritage comparison at the table. A cocktail programme uses Thai spirits styled around the bar culture of 1978 Bangkok. Regional whisky and rum complete the spirits section alongside the Thai craft cocktails. Retro Thai music and vintage photography cover the walls to set the period atmosphere throughout. The Lumphini location near Rama IV Road places Bangkok'78 within reach of the Silom business crowd. Period beer formats and traditional Thai snack preparations add to the late-evening bar programme. The dining room suits a full Thai dinner as much as it suits a cocktail evening at the bar section.\n\nLumphini MRT on the Blue Line serves the Lumphini area within practical walking distance. Grab vehicles navigate Rama IV Road without difficulty from the surrounding Lumphini and Silom addresses. From Sala Daeng BTS a short Grab ride covers the distance east to the Lumphini area. The restaurant and bar run from the evening through the late night with the full menu available.","our_take":"Bangkok'78 in Lumphini is the right choice when retro Thai cooking and a period cocktail bar is the goal. The traditional tom yum is the correct starting order for the full heritage format the kitchen is built around. The Thai spirit cocktail is worth ordering alongside the food for the 1978 bar pairing the concept references. Lumphini MRT makes this accessible from the Blue Line for those coming from the Silom side.","custom_description":null,"hook":"Bangkok'78 in the Lumphini area of Pathum Wan is a retro-themed Thai restaurant near Rama IV Road.
