The Lake Club is a lakeside lifestyle community in Muang Thong Thani, on Bond Street. Renovated from the former Eastin Lakeside hotel building, it brings together cafes, restaurants, bars, craft shops and events under one roof. It's about a 12-minute walk from IMPACT Arena, open every day from 08:00 to 22:00.
The building dates back to the 1990s boom years of Muang Thong Thani, before the Tom Yum Kung crisis hit and left it vacant for more than a decade. It reopened as The Lake Club in March 2026, led by Paul Kanjanapas. The renovation kept almost the entire original structure, including the tall, open lobby and the wave-inspired curves of the facade, and added exposed concrete surfaces and curved galvanized steelwork. The original swimming pool wasn't rebuilt; instead it was planted with trees and turned into a green space by the water.
For people attending fairs or concerts in Muang Thong Thani, this is a relaxed spot close to IMPACT that doesn't require getting on the expressway. Come for coffee in the morning before the hall doors open, take a break partway through a full day at a fair, or find somewhere to keep talking with friends after a concert ends. It's a 10 to 15 minute walk from every main IMPACT hall.
Why IMPACT event-goers pick this place
- 10-minute walk from IMPACT Exhibition Hall, 12 minutes from IMPACT Arena and Thunder Dome, 15 minutes from IMPACT Challenger, so there's no need to drive out of Muang Thong Thani.
- Open from 08:00 to 22:00 every day, so you can stop by before a morning event opens or stay on after a concert ends.
- Both open-air lakeside seating and air-conditioned zones, so you can pick based on the weather and how tired you are after a day on your feet.
- Parking available both outside and inside the building, a useful backup when the hall-side car parks fill up during big events.
- Pet friendly: bring your dog or cat along, unlike the exhibition halls, which don't allow pets.
- Cafes, restaurants, bars, craft shops and photo spots all in one place, so you can meet friends nearby and stay all day.
What is The Lake Club Muang Thong Thani? Quick facts
The Lake Club is a lakeside lifestyle community in Muang Thong Thani, not a large shopping mall. It's a former hotel building converted into a space that combines shops, restaurants and community activities. The idea behind the project is to create a space where people, pets and art can coexist.
Here's what to know before you go:
- Location: Bond Street, by the Muang Thong Thani lake, Pak Kret district, Nonthaburi
- Opening hours: every day, 08:00 to 22:00
- What's there: cafes, restaurants, bars, a multi-brand store, photo booths, art exhibition space, workshops and a craft market
- Entry fee: no entry fee has been announced; you only pay for food, drinks and items you buy
- Getting there: a 10 to 15 minute walk from the IMPACT halls, or take the Pink Line to Muang Thong Thani Lake station (MT02); parking is also available if you drive
- Formerly the Eastin Lakeside hotel building, vacant for more than a decade before reopening in March 2026
What's at The Lake Club? Which shops are worth trying
The shops here cover everything from morning coffee to late-night craft beer, so a single loop gives you the whole picture. The cafe crowd and the food-and-drink crowd share the same building, so everyone can split off and do their own thing, then regroup by the water.
- Beans Coffee Roaster: a cafe for coffee and matcha fans, open from 08:00
- Oven Mitt Bagel & BAKING HOME: dense bagels and freshly baked sourdough, with a popular shredded chicken noodle dish
- Culinova Lab: a food lab combining nachos from NANA CHOS, rice dishes from Meaw Don, and pasta
- The Collective: a multi-brand store curating artist-made clothing, perfume and collectibles
- Vessel, The Barrel and Saha Prachachuen: the drinks zone, covering cocktails, wine and Thai craft beer
- A vintage-newspaper-style photo booth for analog-mood shots against the exposed concrete walls
What time does The Lake Club open? How much does it cost to get in
Open every day from 08:00 to 22:00, so you can spend up to 14 hours here in a single day. Coffee shops start serving at 08:00, while the bar and live music zones get busiest after sunset. From around 18:00 onward is the best time for lake views if you're planning to catch the sunset.
There's no announced entry fee for walking into the area, so costs depend on what you order. The project hasn't published official menu prices yet, so we won't list specific numbers here.
- Opening hours: 08:00 to 22:00 every day, no closing days
- First coffee available from 08:00, well before most fairs open their doors at 10:00
- Live music and DJ sets some nights from around 18:00, especially on weekends
- No entry fee; you only pay for what you order at each shop
How to get to The Lake Club, and where to park
If you're already at an event in Muang Thong Thani, the easiest option is to walk. It's about 10 minutes from IMPACT Exhibition Hall, about 12 minutes from IMPACT Arena and Thunder Dome, and about 15 minutes from IMPACT Challenger. Part of the route is uncovered, and there's no confirmation of a sheltered path the whole way, so bring an umbrella if it's rainy or very sunny.
If you're coming from outside the area, take the Pink Line to Muang Thong Thani Lake station (MT02). If you're driving, the project has parking both outside and inside the building, which helps a lot on days when the hall-side car parks are full.
- IMPACT Exhibition Hall: 10-minute walk
- IMPACT Arena and Thunder Dome: 12-minute walk
- IMPACT Challenger: 15-minute walk
- Pink Line: get off at Muang Thong Thani Lake station (MT02)
- Parking: available both in an outdoor lot and inside the building
Can you bring pets? Who is this place suited for
You can bring your dog or cat along, since the space was designed to be pet friendly from the start. Most of the area is semi-outdoor, with a breeze off the lake and trees planted in the former swimming pool, making an evening walk with a pet more pleasant than walking around a mall.
During the day it suits people who want to work, read or spend time slowly by the water. In the evening the mood shifts to a food-and-drink scene, with live music and DJs some nights, plus a drag show called GA-LAKE-TIGA on Thursday nights. That makes it work for families with young children, groups of working friends, and solo visitors alike.
- Pet friendly: bring pets into the area
- Both open-air and air-conditioned zones, depending on the weather
- Quiet enough during the day for work and meetings; a social scene at night
- Green space by the water for walking and jogging
- Good for anyone looking for something to do in Muang Thong Thani without heading into central Bangkok, or a relaxed outing around Chaeng Watthana or Pak Kret
Can you fit in a visit before or after a concert at IMPACT? Tips from a local
Yes, if you plan your timing. Most concerts at IMPACT Arena open their doors around 1 hour before the show starts. Allowing 12 minutes to walk back plus queueing time at the hall, leaving the venue about 30 minutes before doors open should be comfortable. For people spending a full day at a fair, taking a break in the late afternoon and then going back in to finish seeing the remaining booths is much easier on your legs than sitting on the hall floor.
Activities here rotate monthly. Around launch, they included a monthly craft market called Last Weekend Craft Market, an acrylic painting workshop by the lake every Saturday from 14:00 to 18:00, and an NFC keychain-making workshop every Sunday from 14:00 to 18:00. The schedule changes each month, so check The Lake Club's Instagram or Facebook before you head out.
- Leave about 30 minutes before hall doors open, to allow for the 12-minute walk and queueing
- Since it closes at 22:00, it works best for events ending by around 21:30; plan for a different day if your event runs later
- For a morning fair visit, stop for coffee at 08:00 before the 10:00 doors open
- Arrive before 18:00 if you want to photograph the sunset over the lake
- The event and craft market schedule changes monthly, so check the venue's social channels before visiting
