500 Cafe by FORFUN
Community café for the fetish and BDSM scene, open on Friday and Saturday afternoons and evenings. Every Friday it hosts a free rope jam from 19:00 with a no-nudity rule, and one Saturday a month is a shibari-themed dress-up day.
500 Cafe is the community café and bar of FORFUN, a Bangkok fetish brand that a 2026 city guide describes as the hub of the local scene, with a shop, a photo studio and the team behind the Bangkok Fetish Ball. The café is in Soi Sammie on the Thonburi side of the river, next to Major Cineplex Pinklao, where visitors are asked to park.
Atmosphere
The café presents itself as a place to meet and talk about fetish and BDSM as something broader than sex, to swap views that are hard to raise elsewhere and to learn without judging other people’s tastes. There is no dress code, although guests are welcome to come in rubber, latex, leather, uniforms or fursuits, and changing rooms and lockers are available. The same guide stresses that it is a social space for talking, not a play space. It opens on Friday and Saturday from 1 pm to midnight and serves alcohol from 5 pm.
Rope at 500 Cafe
- Rope jam: Friday is “FORFUN Friday & Rope Jam”, with the rope jam starting at 7 pm. The third Friday of each month is “Furry Friday” instead, so rope jams fall on the other Fridays.
- Shibari Dressing Day: the second Saturday of the month is a Dressing Day with a shibari theme. Other Saturdays rotate through furry and petsuit, rubber, latex, leather and uniform, and puppy-and-handler themes. The café bills Dressing Days as days to dress up and meet the community rather than as classes.
Other gatherings include a social night with a flea market around holidays such as Songkran, Pride and Halloween. Contact runs through Line, phone and email listed on the FORFUN site.
