Thailand’s Famous “Thai Hot Guys” Restaurant to Relocate, Eyes Kuala Lumpur as Next Destination
Bangkok’s wildly popular restaurant Staneemeehoi, best known for its flamboyant performers dubbed the “Thai Hot Guys”, has announced its impending relocation after more than nine years at Huamum Night Market. The restaurant, beloved by locals and tourists alike for its lively atmosphere and cross-dressing male dancers, will continue operating at its current venue until 31 July 2025.
The closure follows the end of their lease with the night market operator, but fans of the establishment can rest easy—the management has assured that this is merely a temporary pause. The team is actively scouting for a new location in Bangkok to reopen their unique dining and entertainment experience.
In the meantime, the restaurant’s owners, known collectively as Dee & Wow, have dropped a bombshell that’s bound to excite Malaysian fans.
Kuala Lumpur Could Soon Host Thailand’s Viral Dance Diner
In a statement dated 5 July, Dee & Wow revealed they are exploring plans to expand into Kuala Lumpur, marking their first international venture. While no official launch date has been provided, the announcement has sparked excitement across social media, with netizens speculating on potential locations in Malaysia’s capital.
“We have a bigger plan in mind,” said the owners, adding that their Bangkok operation will be on hold until a suitable venue is secured. The move could signify a strategic expansion to tap into Southeast Asia’s growing entertainment dining market, known for its high advertising value and tourism appeal.
Such cross-cultural experiences are becoming increasingly lucrative in Malaysia and Singapore, drawing interest from both lifestyle influencers and travel content creators alike.
From Viral Sensation to Regional Brand: The Thai Hot Guys Go Global
With the restaurant’s fame fuelled by viral videos and social media buzz, particularly on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, its brand has become synonymous with bold, unapologetic entertainment. The KL outlet, if confirmed, could be a major boost to Malaysia’s nightlife and food tourism sectors—key categories in high CPM ad targeting.
For Singaporeans who have travelled to Bangkok to experience the Thai Hot Guys, the prospect of catching their iconic performances closer to home will be a welcome development. And for those curious but hesitant to travel overseas, this might just be their chance.
The restaurant’s Instagram page remains the best source for real-time updates, and the owners have encouraged fans to stay tuned for more announcements.
