After the sun wanes, Bangkok gets its second lease of life. When the heavy traffic subsides, the mad rush is over. The city keeps the traveler busy with things to do, be it shopping, clubbing, bar flying, fine dining, a cinema, bowling or a cultural show. All these areas can easily be reached by using either the BTS (Skytrain) or MRT (underground system). Planning that legendary night out doesn't get any easier than this!
Bangkok offers a widely varied nightlife. Like nearby Pattaya, the city has notoriously naughty reputation for concentrations of massage parlours, go-go bars and karaoke places, with Patpong, Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza being the main areas catering to male tourists. Remember that 70’s t-shirt slogan “a good guy goes to Heaven, a bad guy goes to Bangkok!”
One of Bangkok's main party districts is Silom, home not only to perhaps the world's most famous go-go bar strip Patpong, but plenty of more legitimate establishments catering to all tastes. For a drink with a view, the open-air rooftop bar/restaurants of Vertigo and Sirocco are particularly impressive. Similar bars to the ones at Patpong can be found in the lower Sukhumvit area, at Nana Entertainment Plaza and Soi Cowboy while a large number of more trendy and more expensive bars and nightclubs can be found in the higher sois as well, eg. Thong Lor Bed Supperclub, Q Bar, or Met bar. Hippie hangout Khao San Road is also slowly gentrifying and there are even some Thais venturing into what were once mere backpacker bars, but most Thais still prefer to congregate around Ratchadaphisek.
A number of accommodation options are available for tourists and thrill seekers. One great way is to stay at a luxurious serviced apartment in Bangkok where you will be able have a time of your life.
