Sathorn's leafy Yen Akat neighborhood is about to become even livelier.
With California on the brain, Sanya Souvanna Phouma (of Sing Sing, Quince and Maggie Choo's notoriety) is joining with up-and-coming designer Shelley Kwok to open Cactus, a new rooftop bar meant to evoke the mid-century West Coast architecture of designer John Lautner.
While we're waiting to see exactly what that means (an indoor lounge, a terrace that sits above the treetops, "laid out using the vernacular of California buildings"), we do at least have a fair idea of the view (see below).
More confirmed details: Cactus will serve a list of on-theme cocktails created by (who else?) Joseph Boroski (priced at B250-500) as well as food in collaboration with brand-new Mediterranean specialist Cagette Canteen and Deli, which sits below.
All going to plan, Cactus will open mid-March.
4/F, 15 Yen Akat Rd.
