What makes Circus Soi 4 stand out

Circus is one of the biggest bars on Soi 4 and works well as a starting point for the evening. On the terrace you sit right on the lane, and some of the shows move outside. Mainstream pop plays, plus Thai food. Older Google reviews mention a dispute over change, so it’s worth a quick look at the bill.

Shows

According to Time Out, there are three drag shows every night, plus DJs and male dancers. Performances take place inside and on the terrace.
