You’re dressed to impress, have a bit of cash to blow, and are officially ready to experience Asia’s mecca for all those who love any and all nightlife scenes. Bangkok really does offer it all. Don’t think it’s a city only full of cheesy karaoke bars and seedy clubs. Bangkok offers far more than just that. Here is a list of fun party scenes and bars without the sleaze, but if you’re into that kind of thing, I provided a few places for you to indulge in some sinful activities as well.
Club Scene:
Royal City Avenue, or better known as, RCA, is a place to blow some contained energy. At Flix, you can jump around to some of coolest local bands or to an awesome DJ spinning some house and trance.
Although new to the area, this place is proving to be popular. LED Club is a hip place that offers some amazing sets by some of the raddest international DJ’s around.
If you’re feeling posh and want to hang out with the cool Bangkok kids, head to Sukhumvit Road. First stop, Bed Supperclub. This restaurant turned lounge at night with an adjacent club is a happening place and one of Bangkok’s best. Drum and bass to indie-pop boom through the speakers for one epic night out.
Just down the street is Q Bar, and this place has been around. It’s so well-know, celebrities like Colin Farrell have been spotted here. Should you want an interesting fusion concocted by master mixologists while mingling with the young and beautiful of Bangkok, go to Hyde and Seek for an interesting “gastro bar” experience.
Just Chillin’:
If you’re hankering for a real good brew to avoid the backpackers common cheap Chang-over, head for The Londoner Brew Pub. They have a reasonable happy hour and beers that could be hard to find elsewhere. Sit back and throw down a few at Bangkok’s only English bitter and pilsner microbrewery.
Need a bit vino in your life? Tucked away on a cosy small soi in the Sukhumvit area is Enoteco Italiana. Here you can choose from over 300 Italian wine selections and sink your teeth into something that will make you think you teleported to Italy. An excellent place for a romantic night out.
Seedy and Sinful
Should you want to plunge into Asia’s seediest red-light district, Bangkok is your spot. Starting with Patpong, as this is where Thailand’s Go-Go culture started, you will experience a long side street between Silom and Surawongse just teeming with over a 100 neon flashing bright signs inviting you into their scandalous little playgrounds. Naughty and sometimes weird shows, pole dancing and everything in between can be found here.
Racy, sexy, and themed is what Nana Entertainment Plaza is all about. You will see girls dressed up in any fantasy outfits you can think of like schools girls or leather dominatrix. Don’t be fooled by every beautiful lady that walks by as some of them might be packing a bit more than you are hoping for. Lady-boys are prominent in Bangkok and this area is no certainly no different. Get ready for a visual experience like no other.
No matter what your vice is for the nightlife scene, Bangkok has it. For those who want to party without it being all about sex, then head to some of Bangkok’s classier but still loads of fun clubs and bars. All of these mentioned are in the RCA and Sukhumvit road area. Should you want to give in to your cravings or curiosity, then head to Nana or Patpong for the hottest more erotic nightlife offered in Asia. Whatever you choose, Bangkok will be able to please tenfold. Enjoy Asia’s sin city!
