Be it the exciting nightlife districts, exclusive VIP lounges, or stunning panoramic views – here are all the details on how to spend an unforgettable time in Bangkok at night.

All You Need to Know About Bangkok’s Ultimate Nightlife Districts

Soi Cowboy

  • What Goes On Here: Conveniently located just off of Sukhumvit Road, between Asoke and Soi 23, Soi Cowboy is a neon-soaked 150-meter pedestrian street containing approximately 40 go-go bars. It contains an energetic but still relatively small venue.
  • The Entertainment and The Working Girls: These venues contain lively music, performances, and dancers. Working girls and companions found here usually cost between 6,000 THB and 8,000 THB.
  • Common Scams and Safety Advice: Soi Cowboy is known as one of the safest places in Bangkok to experience nightlife with no street scams or aggressive hustlers. However, always check prices of your drinks before ordering and pay attention to the bill at your bar.
  • Nearby Accommodation and Prices: You have hotels such as S15 Sukhumvit Hotel or Grande Centre Point Terminal 21 just outside your door. Average price of a mid-to-high range room in this area is between 2,500 THB and 6,000 THB per night.

Nana Plaza

  • What Happens Here: Also popular by the name of world’s biggest adult playground, Nana Plaza is a huge U-shaped three storey commercial complex situated at Sukhumvit Soi 4. Every single floor of this building has beer bars and go-go establishments in the open air.
  • Entertainment & Working Girls: The place is loud, crowded and wild where you can enjoy various forms of entertainment including normal pop places as well as adult dancing places. Charges for companions are 6,000 THB to 8,000 THB for Thai girls, while charges for international girls (Uzbekistan, for example) are from 10,000 THB to 15,000 THB.
  • Scams & Warnings: Be careful about being cheated in terms of drink bills in some of the upstairs bars. Do not ever leave your drink, especially in the street outside the building where hustlers offer you fake show tickets.
  • Accommodations Near and Charges: Nearby hotels such as Nana Hotel, Adelphi Suites and JW Marriott are excellent. Accommodations start from 2,000 THB to 5,500 THB per night and have full services for companions.

Khao San Road

  • What Happens Here: Undoubtedly the capital of backpackers. Khao San Road is a very lively scene with loud music with bass, food carts selling pad thai to insects, bucket drinks, tattoo parlors, and countless tourists.
  • Entertainment & Working Girls: Khao San differs from other places as it is more about just hanging out on the streets with entertainment, street performers, open-air bars, and late nightclubs rather than go-go bars. While casual relationships can be formed within backpacking circles, the price for companionship is comparable with city prices in case of finding independent companions downtown (6,000 THB to 8,000 THB).
  • Pickpockets & Warnings: Pickpocketing is a common occurrence while walking in crowds. Beware of too friendly people offering to show you temples and running the “temple is closed” scams near, as well as keep an eye on your open drinks.
  • Nearby Places to Stay & Costs: Some of the options include Riva Surya or budget boutique hotels/hostels from 1,200 THB to 3,500 THB per day.
