Le Café des Stagiaires Turns 11: The Sathorn Reunion You Shouldn't Miss

Plenty of Bangkok bars open with a bang and are gone two years later. Le Café des Stagiaires has been pouring Belgian beer on Sathorn Soi 12 since 2015, and this November it’s celebrating 11 years with a two-day party.

The team is calling it a reunion, and the invite on their Instagram doesn’t leave much room for doubt: the Bangkok gang isn’t complete without you. If you’ve ever closed the night on their dance floor, consider yourself on the list.

The dates

Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November 2026, at the bar on Sathorn Soi 12.

The full programme hasn’t been announced yet, so keep an eye on @cafestagiaires.bkk on Instagram for the line-up. What you can count on: a packed bar, DJs, and a lot of familiar faces you haven’t seen in a while. Since the Sunday is a weekend day, brunch runs from 11:00 to 16:00 before the evening picks up again.

Why this place has lasted 11 years

The name says it all if you speak French: the “interns’ café”, the spot where young expats and office workers go for a drink after a long day. The concept started in Shanghai before landing in Bangkok, and it found a natural home between Sathorn and Silom.

The building is a three-storey shophouse with bare red brick, vintage furniture and old telephones, and it feels lived-in rather than designed. On the menu: Belgian beers (La Chouffe on tap), classic cocktails, and a French and Belgian kitchen built for sharing. Local DJs and live bands play every week, and the crowd is a mix of Sathorn office workers, neighbours from the condos around, and regulars who’ve been coming for years.

That mix is exactly why an anniversary here feels like a reunion and not just another party.

Planning your own event there?

If the 11th anniversary gives you ideas, Le Café des Stagiaires also hosts private events.

The first-floor private room has its own bar, a balcony, a dance floor, a proper sound system and the famous disco ball. It works for birthdays and private parties up to around 60 guests.

The main bar can take up to 120 people standing, which suits afterworks, team drinks and bigger end-of-year parties.

It’s also a 2-minute walk from BTS Saint Louis, which your guests will appreciate after a long day at the office.
