Opening in 2024 in the fiercely competitive Thonglor district!

Thonglor is an upscale residential area in Bangkok where many high-end restaurants and eateries are located, and many wealthy people and foreigners live in the area.Restaurants, bars, and cafes that can meet the needs of these people are popping up one after another, resulting in many Michelin-listed restaurants and 50 Best Bars ranked bars.In January 2024, another new bar of note will be born in such a place.It is the Dry/Wave Cocktail Studio.I entered a small street called "Soi" in Thai from the main street in the Thonglor area and walked for a few minutes to get to this bar.There, I noticed a large tree running through the front of the bar.Last summer, when I was looking for a place to live, I was taking a walk with my wife and dog, and we found this place and signed the lease right away.The deciding factor was this 50-year-old tree," Palm says.As his bespectacled academic appearance suggests, he is a man who "enjoys learning.As a result, he is involved in a wide range of activities that go beyond bartending.He also has a deep knowledge of painting and music.His personality and the name of his store, Studio (studio), reminded me of Leonardo da Vinci, a great Italian painter, scientist, inventor, and other multi-talented person.Where do you see the roots of Mr. Palm's current activities?
