Nightlife in Bangkok

Four areas and one bar. The areas are the point — each is listed with one place to start from.

  1. Hotel Muse, Lang Suan

    Speakeasy Rooftop Bar

    A rooftop bar on a hotel near Lumphini, quieter than the tower bars on Silom.

  2. Thonglor

    Sukhumvit Soi 55

    Thonglor

    The area Bangkok's own twenties and thirties drink in. Rabbit Hole is a reasonable place to start and work outwards from.

  3. Phra Nakhon

    Khao San Road

    The backpacker street. Loud, cheap and completely unpretentious about what it is.

  4. Yaowarat after dark

    Chinatown

    Yaowarat after dark

    The same street as the food listing, later — small bars above and behind the stalls.

  5. Sukhumvit Soi 418+

    Nana / Sukhumvit Soi 4

    An adult-entertainment district built around Nana Plaza. Listed because visitors ask what it is, so that nobody arrives with their family expecting an ordinary bar street. Adults only.
