Boarding Time Board Game Cafe

Store

The city center of Bangkok is a watering hole for shopaholics and those who love a night out on the town. Thanks to Boarding Time Board Game Cafe, however, it is also a place for game lovers to come together and take to their favorite game; there are hundreds from which to choose. Gamers can enjoy any one of these titles for ฿150 a day or ฿50 an hour. The café features a menu that will keep visitors from getting hungry, and it sits just a stone’s throw away from the BTS Skytrain. Boarding Time Board Game Cafe is also open until midnight, so players can take their time and finish that game of Scythe that is taking so long. The board game café is open Monday through Sunday beginning at 2 p.m.

Game Over Lounge

Bar, Food Truck

Game Over Lounge

Game Over Lounge has the best of both worlds. The venue, located in the trendy area of Thonglor, acts as both a bar and gaming hub, with a rare combination of alcoholic beverages and high-end PC games available. The bar recently underwent construction and doubled in size as well as improved its already cool space. The bar also has Jenga, foosball, beer pong, and amazing DJs on the weekends, for those of you who prefer dancing over gaming. Game Over Lounge is open until 2 a.m. every day but Monday.
