Our Take on Chequers British Pub
Chequers British Pub sits at 11 Sukhumvit Soi 4, a short walk from Nana BTS, and runs as a dedicated sports room rather than a pub with one television. The pub's own site commits it to the Premiership, rugby and Formula 1, carried on a satellite system built to pull a wide range of live sport.
The room reads as a classic small British local, with the longstanding owner Nick still front of house. Screens cover the space so most seats keep a sight line, and the sound follows the headline fixture rather than a playlist.
The kitchen does British and Thai plates, and the full English breakfast draws consistent praise in reviews for portion and value. One Tripadvisor reviewer called the Guinness here the best in the Sukhumvit area hands down, which tracks with the pub's expat following.
Among sports bars in Bangkok, Chequers is the pick for a Formula 1 Sunday or a rugby weekend, when the calendar quiets and the room turns fully to one event. Beer pricing stays reasonable, especially in the happy hour window.
