Viva 8

Tucked away in the lively corridors of Bangkok's bustling Chatuchak Weekend Market is a vibrant enclave of Spanish culture and flamenco flair—Viva 8. More than just a bar, Viva 8 is an embodiment of rhythmic passion, tantalizing gastronomy, and the effervescent spirit of Spain, right in the heart of Thailand's capital.

A Hidden Gem in Chatuchak

With over 15,000 stalls, Chatuchak is a maze of myriad delights. But even in this vast expanse, Viva 8 manages to stand out. The rhythmic clapping, soulful guitar riffs, and the unmistakable sound of flamenco dancing draw visitors into a world of Andalusian enchantment.

Authentic Atmosphere

One step into Viva 8 and you're transported to a traditional Spanish tablao. Red and gold hues dominate the interiors, adorned with vintage posters, rustic wooden tables, and lively murals reflecting Spain's flamenco culture. The ambiance exudes warmth, making patrons feel as though they've been invited to an intimate Spanish fiesta.

Flamenco Nights

The heart and soul of Viva 8 lie in its captivating flamenco performances. On select evenings, the space comes alive with the fervent rhythms of flamenco. Dancers, in their resplendent costumes, stomp, twirl, and clap, while musicians strum, clap, and sing, creating an atmosphere thick with emotion and passion.

Spanish Delights on the Menu

No Spanish experience is complete without indulging in the nation's culinary gems. Viva 8 boasts an impressive menu of authentic Spanish tapas. From gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp) to patatas bravas (spicy potatoes), each dish is crafted with love and served with a side of flair. The paella, in particular, is a showstopper and a crowd favorite. To wash it down, there's a selection of Spanish wines, sangria, and other beverages that pair beautifully with the dishes.

An Artist's Retreat

Interestingly, Viva 8 is the brainchild of Spanish artist, Señor Manuel. His artistic influence is evident not just in the decor but also in the carefully curated menu and the passion-infused performances. It's this personal touch that gives Viva 8 its distinctive character.
