Description
The super-macho trio Thaitanium step into the nightlife industry, and we couldn't be happier. At long last, they bring us Club 420, a reggae and hip hop club. Expect some some jaw dropping when you enter the place because of its huge size. It's spacious with high celings, dark tones, lots of black lights, pile of speakers on two sides, Jamican-influence decor and DJ booth in the middle of the hall. This place isn't about mass-market appeal, but filling an as yet empty niche in alternative nightlife options. Ok, you can still hear some of the commercial hip hop music, but Mr. DJ isn't here to please everyone. The owners actually encourage DJs to play whatever they like in order to exapand our music horizon - think unknown songs with nice tunes. The hall can accomodate up to 1,000 clubbers, and in the VIP section on the left, high fliers can enjoy a private bar,leopard print sofa seating, brighter lighting (enough to spot a pimple)and a beach landscape on the wall. The bar is located at the far end of the hall and like the DJ booth it sports a thatched roof that brings to mind a South American resort destination. There's also a sushi bar on the left of the door, serving fresh sushi and sashimi (B50-1,000). If you're bored with Black Label (1,600) and Chivas (1,600), go for a nice chill sake (B400/bottle) or traditional Japanese Shochu (B200/glass). Mixers are B50 and beer is B200 (Heineken). The place is co-owned by Thaitanium guys and their Japanese friends, and they aim to bring reggae/hip hop trend, now hot in Japan to the Bangkok scene. DJs from Japan are set to perform at this very unique monthly and of course, sometimes the Thaitay dudes hit the DJ booth. too
