TAX

Forget everything you think you know about novelty drinks. Bangkok’s cocktail purists are quietly losing their minds over TAX—a staggeringly ambitious spot on Maitri Chit pushing the boundaries of liquid gastronomy. The hook? Insect-infused mixology. Giant water bug distillates. Silk pupa infusions. Bamboo worm pairings. It sounds wild. Yet adventurous drinkers report these polarizing proteins land with complex, layered brilliance. Grab a seat at the spacious counter. The world-class bartenders here operate with zero judgment and pure passion, guiding you through the menu like old friends. Not ready to sip on bee larvae? Mai pen rai. The crew shakes up masterful tea and vinegar cocktails—the Sakura is an absolute masterclass in tart, botanical balance. Oh, and the stout? Stout chasers insist they pour the most pristine pint of Guinness in Krung Thep. Settle into the impeccably styled room, vibe to the DJ's curated beats, and lean into a radically delicious frontier.
