"For over 20 years Silom Soi 4 has been one of the most popular Sois in the Silom/Suriwong area. Other sois became known long after Silom Soi 4 but with our friendly nature and experience Soi 4 has maintained its premier position in the heart of Bangkok's nightlife. Today Soi 4 is as vibrant and pulsating as ever with a diversity of venues that attract a large number of people; locals and tourists."

Isaan Party
The Balcony’s Isaan Party held on 8 November during Bangkok Pride Week was widely acclaimed as one of the most successful and entertaining parties of its type in recent years. A professional Isaan cabaret troupe entertained with live singing and dancing; supplemented by The Balcony’s own dancing waiters and one waiter who performed a traditional Thai dance in a lavish jewel encrusted costume.
The tasty and freshly made, Isaan buffet was eagerly consumed by the capacity crowd although few farangs were brave enough to sample the ‘bugs’.
