Cafe Democ is café-by-day with mainly tourist customers and an electronic music-oriented bar at night with a majority Thai crowd. This two-storey graffiti-covered, retro antique-scattered venue is one of the few joints where decent tunes can be heard by DJs from Wednesday to Sunday nights. But Café Democ is unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) a little out of Khao San Rd ., so it can fail to secure the crowds other, less worthy, venues attract. Although it won’t burn a hole in your wallet and the food is actually quite good – try the fish’n’chips for your Britannia fix. Cocktails are 130 baht, buckets from 280 – 350 or a Heineken for 90 baht. Every night hosts a different musical genre with different DJs (Thai and some international) so keep an eye out for their program.
