No other bar in Bangkok is known of that claims to have been operating continuously as long as Checkinn99. Originally the Copacobana or just say The Copa opened in the late 50’s and pre-dates the Vietnam R&R period having been a favourite haunt of pioneer expats, special agents, military advisors, Peace Corps and USO entertainers such as Bob Hope all whom had fond memories of this iconic night entertainment venue.

 

For many years – that black smoked glass steel framed front door at the end of Sukhumvit’s most foreboding alley entrance ensured that Checkinn remained strictly a word of mouth bar – allowing time to pass whilst its character and decor remained unchanged over the last 56 years.
