Singing is a way for friends, families, and coworkers to bond and unwind. Because of this, karaoke has been part of Thai culture for a long time, whether it's for celebrating special occasions, or a casual night out. If you're in Bangkok and would like a taste of what real karaoke experience can offers, you have come to the right place. Bangkok can offer you karaoke venues with different kind of rooms, extensive multilingual song libraries, and menus featuring foods and drinks. Let's explore in more details.
Types of Karaoke Venues
Private Room Karaoke
If you're familiar with Japanese media, you must have came across some scene of a group of people doing karaoke in a private room. This is that exact type of karaoke room - private room karaoke. Popular venues are Big Echo, Manekineko, etc.
Open Mic Karaoke Bars
This type of karaoke venue offers something completely different from what you expect from typical karaoke venue. Instead of a private room, you will be in a bar setting instead, so you will be singing among other customer inside a bar. This provides energetic and social atmosphere.
Luxury Karaoke Experiences
If you want to take your karaoke experience to the next level, high-end venues with premium amenities might be what you are looking for. This kind of venue main focus is to provide a good dining experience, and offers karaoke as an add-on activity.
My Recommended Karaoke Spots in Bangkok
Personally, I prefer private room karaoke as it provides the best experience, allowing you to go all out with your singing while still being fun and affordable - only costing around 100-200 THB per hour. Furthermore, these places often come with basic amenities like food and drinks that you can order if you feel thirsty or hungry. If you are interested, I recommend Manekineko, which is located in the central of Bangkok, easily accessible by buses and trains.
