The Consul Bangkok: A New Kind of Members Club Reimagines the Social Club Landscape

In a city that thrives on contrast and charisma, a new address is quietly redefining what a members club in Bangkok can be. Poised atop the striking new JLK Tower in Sukhumvit, The Consul Bangkok isn’t just a new venue, it’s a vision. Opening this December, this private social club promises to become the capital’s most compelling cultural nexus, where connection, creativity, and conversation come first.

Part private club, part artistic salon, and part culinary destination, The Consul Bangkok draws inspiration from the city’s history as a meeting point of ideas. But rather than emulate the gilded exclusivity of traditional members-only enclaves, it proposes something more grounded: depth of experience, thoughtful curation, and a regional perspective that feels genuinely of-the-moment.

Designed in collaboration with Team Wang Design under the creative direction of Jackson Wang, the club unfolds across two top floors with sweeping skyline views. Inside, members move between a refined Chinese restaurant led by Chef Benson Feng, a stylish supper club with live performances, and the headline attraction – Bar Won, the signature bar concept by the team behind Alice in Seoul, a mainstay on Asia’s 50 Best Bars. Known for its theatrical flair and precision mixology, Alice’s legacy informs Bar Won’s elevated yet playful approach, positioning it as one of the most anticipated openings on Bangkok’s bar scene.

Bar Won, perched like a crown above the dining space, isn’t merely about drinks. Its name, derived from the word “one” and symbolic of harmony and origin, sets the tone for a 12-drink signature menu that reinterprets global art through Thai ingredients. Each creation is an ode to form and balance, while the classics are quietly perfect: no gimmicks, just craftsmanship.

As night falls, the elegant dining room morphs into a supper club infused with live music and ambient energy. The Consul’s approach to hospitality is atmospheric, but never overproduced. It’s Bangkok’s social rhythms, refracted through a new lens.

But there’s more. For those craving intimacy, The Consul Bangkok offers members-only spaces including private dining rooms, a cigar lounge, and an investors’ salon, all designed for elevated dialogue and discretion. And then, there’s the world-exclusive Yang Club by Team Wang Design, helmed by Jackson Wang. Blending lifestyle, sound, and creative experimentation, Yang Club is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about members-only concepts in Asia.

It’s no surprise then that early-bird memberships to this members club in Bangkok have already sold out. A limited number of memberships will be released upon launch, an invitation to be part of something distinct in the evolving story of Bangkok social clubs.

In an age of overstimulation, The Consul Bangkok invites you to slow down, lean in, and truly connect. For those seeking access to one of the city’s most culturally attuned social clubs, membership inquiries can be directed to [email protected].
