Saint Patrick's Day or the Feast of Saint Patrick (Irish: Lá
Fhéile Pádraig, "the Day of the Festival of Patrick") is a cultural
and religious holiday celebrated on 17 March. It is named after Saint Patrick,
the most commonly recognised of the patron saints of Ireland.
The day generally involves public parades and festivals,
céilithe, and wearing of green attire or shamrocks. Christians also attend
church services and the Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol are
lifted for the day.
Where Can I Celebrate Saint Patrick's Day in Bangkok?
If you are in Bangkok on Saint Patrick's Day, even if you
are not an Irish - the most popular way to celebrate is to head to one of the
Irish pubs and just enjoy the feast together with the Irish, Thais, expats and
travelers from around the world!
There is a good number of Irish pubs in Bangkok, and we've
put together a list of what we consider to be the most famous Irish pubs in
Bangkok.
O’Reillys Irish Pub (Silom Road)
O'Reilly's is one of the first Irish pubs in Bangkok and is
located on Silom road right at the foot of the steps leading up to Saladaeng
BTS skytrain station so getting there is really simple.
O'Reilly's is one of those pubs that has a constant
atmosphere as it is in a good location for tourists and business people alike
and you will find a mix of westerners and Thais.

Molly Malone's Irish Pub (Soi Convent)
Molly Malone's Irish pub in Bangkok used to be known as The
Irish Exchange but underwent a make over and a change of ownership and
re-emerged as Molley Malone's.
There is seating upstairs and downstairs and there is the
usual Guinness and Kilkenny on draught as well as a number of other draught and
bottled beers.
Getting to Molly Malone's should be easy enough as it is
very close to Saladaeng BTS skytrain station and not a far walk from Silom's
MRT subway station.

The Dubliner Irish Pub (Sukhumvit Road)
The Dubliner Irish Pub in Bangkok is located on Sukhumvit
road, around soi 22 close to Washington Square. The nearest Skytrain or
Underground station is Asoke / Sukhumvit
The decor of The Dubliner is similar to all the other Irish
themed bars in Bangkok - mainly wooden - but we like the layout of The Dubliner
because it's more pub like and less clinical than some of the others.
If your other half likes shopping, send them to The Emporium
just down the road and you can sit back with a drink and wait for them to come
back.

Flann O'Brien's Irish Pub (Asiatique The Riverfront)
Flann O'Brien's is quite new compare to other Irish pubs in
Bangkok, but as it is located in the newest landmark of Bangkok, Asiatique The
Riverfront – there are a lot of things to do in the area.
The theme of the Flann O'Brien's Irish Pub and the Asiatique
is retro style, you will feel like going back in time and sitting in the old harbor
of Bangkok.

Syktrain station and exit gate 5 and Robin Hood will be right there.
