6ixcret Show
6ixcret Show runs a polished drag-cabaret program from the second floor at the rear of the Night Bazaar Building, accessed via Tha Phae Soi 1 just off Loi Kroh's east end. The room seats around 150 in cabaret-style tiered seating facing a small main stage, with two side runways and an elaborate lighting rig. Shows run Wednesday through Sunday from 9:30 PM, with a 75-minute revue featuring eight to ten performers across pop, ballad, K-pop, and traditional Thai-influenced numbers. Admission is technically free with a two-drink minimum, with drinks priced higher than street level to cover the production costs. The audience mixes Thai tourists, Western couples, and small groups of friends from the Night Bazaar shopping crowd. The performers tip-collect during and after the show; 50-100 THB tips are standard for favorite numbers.

Full Review
Finding 6ixcret takes some directing: the venue sits on the second floor at the rear of the Night Bazaar Building, accessed via an interior staircase off Tha Phae Soi 1. Signage is modest but the entry hostess greets arrivals warmly and seats parties by table. The main room is purpose-built for cabaret: tiered seating in a horseshoe around a small main stage with two side runways, full lighting rig, and a sound system tuned for vocal-focused production.
The show structure is consistent. Doors open at 9 PM, drinks begin flowing, and the program starts at 9:30 with a high-energy opener. Eight to ten numbers follow across ballad, K-pop, Thai cabaret, and Western pop, with costume changes between songs. The performers descend to floor level for select numbers, interacting with front tables and inviting tips. The show closes with a high-energy group number around 10:45 PM.
Compared to Ram Cabaret a few minutes west on Loi Kroh, 6ixcret is more polished, more recently renovated, and pulls a larger Thai tourist contingent. Ram is the older institution but the room feels dated. 6ixcret's production quality and lighting are visibly better, though Ram has the longer history and the more developed character performances.
Tipping is part of the format. Performers approach tables during their numbers and tip-collect after; 50-100 THB per favorite act is standard, and patrons who tip generously often get featured in close-up interactions. The two-drink minimum is enforced at the table check, not the door, so order at your own pace.
