Bed Supper Club
Personally I found the seating/slouching arrangement a bit uncomfortable, unless I were to slide right back and fall asleep. Your mileage may vary. Certainly there were others there who seemed to be happy with the arrangement. However the club is not huge and the balcony provides an excellent vantage point for totty spotting. The beers are pretty pricey, but then they always are in such clubs. SaxophoneThis place is a bugger to find if you are going for the first time but it is well worth the effort if you are into jazz and blues.
What would have been the upstairs has been knocked down leaving just enough floor-space around the edges to create an all round balcony overlooking the bar and the stage area. Take the skytrain to Victory Monument. When you get off the train go down from the platform and follow the walkway under the train lines towards the monument itself. As the train lines veer to the right so should you. Look down to the street below and look for the black 'Jack Daniels' sign on the line of buildings that face the market and eating out area. You'll have to keep walking a bit to the next flight of steps down then make your way back to that Jack Daniels sign. There is also a branch of saxophone in Patong Beach, Phuket. Soi SarasinSoi Sarasin runs along the back of Lumpini Park. There are half a dozen bars along here that are popular mostly with trendy young locals. The bars seem to change their names in interior decoration quite frequently but they never seem to grow in number. The only exception is the last bar on the strip. This has always been called Brown Sugar, hosts live jazz and is popular with expats. It's not a bad place at all, it's safe to take the missus and the mother-in-law but the drinks are more expensive than in the girlie bars. The nearest skytrain station is Ratchdamri.

This is an uber-trendy purpose built cylinder at the top of Sukhumvit Soi 11. Outside it looks like it was dropped i form outer space. Inside, on the main floor, a DJ spins the latest funky grooves. Upstairs, on a balcony over looking the main floor are large long couches that encourage you to quite literally get laid back. If you lean right back to the back rest there is no way your feet can still touch the floor. There are tables built in on which to put your drinks. The whole event is bathed in an ever changing wash of coloured light.
Saxophone is a lot bigger on the inside than you think it's going to be. It looks like it was originally two houses knocked into one. A tell tale remnant of wall, to the left as you go in, is scarcely disguised by a trumpet sticking out from it. There is a saxophone fixed to a red brick arch that juts out from the bar and a gaggle of tubas occupy a perch high above the stage.
