Chinatown Yacht Club
92 ซ. นานา Pom Prap, Pom Prap Sattru Phai, Bangkok 10100
Chinatown has become one of Bangkok's better evening zones in recent years and this bar is part of the reason. The concept earns the name rather than leaning on it entirely. A Chinatown evening that skips the bar scene in favour of street food alone is missing something. Start with the food circuit on Yaowarat and finish here for a full version of what the neighbourhood now offers.
Chinatown Yacht Club is a bar in the Pom Prap Sattru Phai district of Bangkok. The bar sits within or adjacent to the Chinatown zone, one of the city's most distinctive neighbourhoods. The yacht club naming is a deliberate contrast to the Chinatown street environment. This irony is central to the bar's concept and character. With over 304 reviews, Chinatown Yacht Club has developed a following in a district that has seen significant bar and dining growth over recent years. The Chinatown area of Bangkok has attracted creative bar operators looking for affordable space with genuine character. Chinatown Yacht Club is part of that creative wave. The Pom Prap location places it on the edge of Yaowarat Road and the surrounding streets that form the core of the Bangkok Chinatown district. Access is practical from the Hua Lamphong MRT or via boat from the Chao Phraya express ferry. The drinks program covers cocktails alongside craft beer options. The bar suits guests who are already spending an evening in the Chinatown zone. It is less compelling as a standalone destination requiring a cross-town trip.
Evenings here tend to run as part of a longer Chinatown circuit rather than as standalone destination visits. The bar suits the itinerary that includes street food before drinks rather than a direct commute from a hotel. The review count across 304 guests reflects a venue that has benefited from the broader interest in Chinatown as an evening destination. Weekends bring the highest traffic as the street activity in the area peaks. Weeknights are quieter and suit those who prefer less competition for tables and bar space.
