Interview: The man behind the Mustache

Through our connections to the Mustache Bar, Niklas was able to sit down with the owner and ask some questions about the Bar, Bangkok and the lifestyle. Where are you from? Never say "Hi" in Germany?  Hi, Nilkas, I'm Olivier from Belgium - Brussels Capital. Staying in Bangkok now since 10 years. When did you open the Mustache Bar? I opened Mustache 3 years ago. It was simply a restaurant and the police authorized me to open until 6 AM. So after dinner, we moved the tables and people started to dance with House DJs. Which song would you choose to play, when entering a boxing ring? Benny Hill? What inspired you to combine a restaurant (La bella pizzeria) and a Techno club? I tried everything to bring people earlier, with drink promotions, DJs, etc. But the only thing that worked was FOOD. So I decided to do a pizzeria on the rooftop, a sale booth at the entrance for ravers and a delivery service.  Cats or Dogs? Monkeys or Humans? How did ...

Thailand vs. Germany

The Mustache is a special club, combining two purposes at the same time.  During the day, the Mustache Bar is a restaurant-like bar serving pizza and a great variety of Belgium beers. Combined with the Jazz music that is being played, one would never guess the second identity of the Mustache. At daytime, the atmosphere is laid-back and relaxing. Many guests enjoy a well chosen beer and one of the delicious pizzas that are made in a original brick-oven. Adding to this the expertise of the owner when it comes to beer guarantees the perfect beer for the chosen pizza.  At night on the other hand, the bar transforms to one of the cities hottest techno clubs. The tables are moved to the side, to make rook for the dance floor. The bar opens and the DJ plays the turntables in the middle of the room. The entry is usually free and the guests can still enjoy some pizza by the slice. During those night hours, the techno scene gathers to celebrate to the best tracks played by th...

Mental Delay Aftermovie

On October 14th, we hosted our first event at Mustache. "Mental Delay" was the name and with the help of Louis and Lucas, two fellow students who are studying Media and Communication Design, we were able to create our own designs.  Besides Sabura (Niklas), another friend of his Dan Buri were playing their sets all night long.  Words can only describe so much, but here is a video of the party:

About the Mustache Bar

The Mustache is a bar, founded in February 2015, in Prem Sombat Village in Bangkok. Its Belgian style and huge selection of beer attracts a lot of people each day. On multiple levels, one can have a cool drink, eat pizza or simply hang out to the relaxing tunes.  But that changes at night!  After Dark, the Mustache transforms into on of the best hidden gems of the local Techno movement. From Tuesdays to Saturdays, the Mustache hosts parties starting around 10 PM and lasting into the early morning hours. The unique interior style, creates a homelike feeling and with the DJ standing in the middle of the room, the party is literally everywhere. And even better: The entry is free! The Techno scene in Bangkok is still very underground, which is why many people don't even know about Mustache's double-life, but within the scene, it is one of THE spots to go. Due to the fact that Niklas himself is a Techno DJ (Sabura), we got in contact with Olivier, the owner of the Mustache,...

Welcome

We are students at the Macromedia Hamburg and are currently studying at the Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok, during our semester abroad. For our Economics class, we are creating this Blog to learn more about a local business in Bangkok. We discovered a local club in Bangkok called "Mustache" which we will excusively feature here. Due to the fact that Niklas is a Techno DJ, we were able to get in touch with the owner and even started some events. During the next couple weeks we will show you more about the Mustache and compare it to German clubs we know. Stay tuned
