NIGHTLIFE IN BANGKOK

Bangkok has a reputation as an important destination in the “adult industry” abroad. Bangkok has acquired the nickname “Sin City of Asia” for its level of sex tourism. Nightlife in Bangkok is tremendously wild & vibrant. In certain areas like Sukhumvit and Khao San Road, some bars are allowed to stay open till 02:00 or the whole night. One of the main party areas in Bangkok is Silom, home not only to Patpong, perhaps the world’s most famous go-go bar strip, but also to plenty of more legitimate establishments that cater for all levels of tourists.

Reminder: Smoking is prohibited in all restaurants, bars and nightclubs, whether they’re air-conditioned or not. It’s enforced at some venues, but in areas such as Nana Plaza, the ordinance is flouted.

9 Best Nightlife In Bangkok

Soi Cowboy, one of the most popular hot spots to hang out at night besides Nana Plaza & Patpong. Easy access, within walking distance from the BTS Skytrain’s Asok Station and the Bangkok MRT Sukhumvit Station. Bunch of go-go bars along this 150m long street & mostly with bikini girls dancing inside the bar. My personal choice of bars: Tilac, Country Road Bar, The Oasis Soi Cowboy, Jungle Jim Pub, Toy Bar, Corner Bar, Penny Black Pub, Cowboy 2, Crazy House & Dundee A Go Go.

02 Patpong

Patpong is internationally known as a red light district in Bangkok neighboring Bang Rak. Patpong is within walking distance from the BTS Skytrain Silom Line’s Sala Daeng Station, and MRT Blue Line’s Si Lom Station. The two parallel side streets Patpong 1 & 2 are also packed with go go bars. The best bars I prefer in this area: Kiss Bar Patpong, Madrid, Thigh Bar, Glamour Go-Go Bar, Safari, Black Pagoda & BarBar Fetish Club. – Best nightlife in Bangkok for bar hopping.

03 Nana Plaza

Along with Soi Cowboy and Patpong, Nana Plaza is one of Bangkok’s three most concentrated red-light districts. All attract primarily tourists. This three-story building is about 300 metres from the BTS Skytrain’s Nana Station. My personal choice: Iron Balls Distillery & Bar, Fitzgeralds, Spanky’s Agogo, Billboard Go-Go Bar, Chequers Bar, Angelwitch, Stumble Inn, PLAYSKOOL, New Lollipop & Butterflies Go-Go Bar.

04 Khaosan Road

Khaosan Road, the heaven for backpackers. It offers a lot of guesthouse type of accommodations and it becomes one of the most visited attractions for foreign tourists. At night, bars open, music is played, street food hawkers sell barbecued insects and other exotic snacks for tourists, and touts promoting ping pong shows (a type of sex show) everywhere along the road. The area is internationally known as a center of dancing & partying. – Best nightlife area in Bangkok for party lover.

05 Siam Niramit Theater

Siam Niramit is a modern theater with 2,000 people capacity. It is located in Tiam Ruam Mit Road close to Thailand Cultural Center. The show is usually about culture and history of Thailand. It has huge shows with more than 100 actors and 500 different costume changes and the special effects are truly spectacular. This is one of Thailand’s must-see show.

06 Calypso Cabaret Show

Calypso Cabaret, is the most well known lady-boys show in Bangkok located in Asiatique The Riverfront. You can reach there by taking the BTS Skytrain to Saphan Taksin station then take a 10 minutes boat to the place. This is also one of the must-see show in Bangkok and it will definitely give you an unforgettable experience in Thailand.
