Bangkok has amazing nightlife and offers something for every taste. Most places foreigners go to are actually located either near Silom Road, on Sukhumvit Road or between Siam Square and the World Trade Centre. Khaosan Road, the main backpack traveller center in Bangkok also hosts a vibrant nightlife scene that draws a large amount of Thais as well.
With a range from classical dance to techno parties, there's always something happening. They also have restaurants, food stalls and night markets selling fake goods.
Despite the legal opening hours for nightclubs and bars being drastically shortened, people in Bangkok still tend to go out very late. People don't tend to turn up to many night clubs before 11pm and the party doesn't really get going until about midnight. The peak hours of nightlife tend to be short, the legal closing hour for most bars is 1:00am, with some special night life zones allowing places to stay open until 2:00am.
These closing times are usually regiously enforced depending on the local police's mood, however some places manage to aviod being closed and stay open to as late as 6:00- 7:00am. Which places avoid being closed and stay open late can change from week to week, the best way to find these places is too ask around or try to follow the crowds.
Bangkok offers English-language movies, with Thai subtitles. Bangkok also has two orchestras and a cultural centre for those seeking more classical entertainment in Bangkok will not be disappointed. There is an English magazine (METRO) with all the information on what's going in Bangkok available in nearly every book-store in the above mentioned areas. Even better is the free fortnightely BK Magazine. For the expat community some of the most popular places are Q-Bar and Bed Supperclub in Sukhumvit soi 11. |
