Thailand?s large, bustling capital can be overwhelming?so who better than a few stylish locals to reveal where to go now?

Pim Sukhahuta, creative director of fashion label Sretsis: ?I love going to Again & Again (Soi 4 Thonglor, Sukhumvit 55 Rd.) to look for fancy sequin tops, long prairie dresses, and 1950?s costume jewelry.?

Suraporn Lertwongpaitoon, curator and lecturer at Silpakorn University: ?My favorite place to catch an art show and have a few drinks is WTF Caf? & Gallery. It?s very chic.?

Artaya Boonsoong, special effects supervisor at Renegade VFX: ?At Roast Coffee & Eatery (Thonglor Soi 13, Sukhumvit 55 Rd.), I always order an iced latte and the Cuban sandwich.?

Anan Tatuho, owner of Shades of Retro bar: ?Khua Kling Pak Sod (98/1 Thonglor Soi 5, Sukhumvit 55 Rd.; 66-2/185-3977; $$) serves southern Thai food; try the stir-fried crab. It?s a small place?so make reservations.?

Pim Chalocha, marketing officer for Dean & Deluca: ?The weekend market Talat Rod Fai (Kamphaengphet Rd.) is a great spot for a chilled-out evening with friends. I go there to shop for secondhand shoes, followed by beers!?

Gene Kasidit, musician: ?For a quiet drink, I go to Smith (1/8 Sukhumvit Soi 49), a new restaurant with a fantastic warehouse setting and cocktails like Kilkenny ale, dark rum, and caramel.?
