Nightlife in Thailand

Party mood pervades Thailand the whole year round, brimming over in the night and flowing into the following day.


Legally speaking, the bars and the clubs are allowed to entertain guests latest till 2am, but fun and jive easily overpower the legal dictates. The late-night discos in Patpong area of Bangkok operate in full swing well beyond 2 am. Nightlife in Bangkok goes on around the clock drawing a large number of clientele within the age of 18. Churning out pleasure with the ingredients like a soothing ambience, live music, skilled DJs and dancers alluring young teenage hearts should not cost more that 500 baht. Entry is free at most of the places.

The main centres for evening entertainment for tourists are intense around Silom Road (Patpong, Thaniya, Silom Soi 2 and 4), Sukhumvit (Soi Nana, Soi Cowboy, Soi 33) and most recently Khao San Road. Good cuisine and music is offered in pubs and bars that are found all over the city.

In a comparatively disciplined, calmer and delightful Chiang Mai relaxing bars, discos and a smattering of karaoke lounges are present in numbers. The night life here is vibrant and alive with late shopping, eating, relaxing bars, discos and a smattering of karaoke lounges till about 2 in the morning. There are a cluster of bars, coffee houses and restaurants at the intersection of Chang Klan and Loi Kroh road and further down Chan Klan road (heading North).In Chiang Mai, one can select from a plethora of preferences like Karaoke Lounges, young hostesses exclusively for male clientele at Land, multiplex cinemas, bowling alleys, carting tracks and many more. The writers congregate at the Writers' Club and Wine Bar on Friday nights to spin a yarn over some tipple.

Krabi is the right retreat for the ones who wish to relax, unwind and soak in picturesque scenery. The most exhilarating nightlife in Krabi can be found on Phi Phi Island, and around Ao Nang. There are not many wild and boisterous parties, though people take pleasure in enjoying a quiet drink in the evenings for a splendid night out. However, night-time entertainment for single male visitors can be found in Krabi Town and pockets of Ao Nang Beach.


Thailand and its unmatched venues of amusement and entertainment are never quite complete without the mention of Pattaya - nestled along the picturesque bay on the East Coast of the Gulf of Thailand. South Pattaya is practically the confluence of Discos, shows, bar games....and competing stereos, all merging to create one huge party zone. During evening the area, closed to traffic, turns into the famous Walking Street, where discos, massage parlours and dozens of bar-beers compete with each other pressing hard to be noticed. North Pattaya on the other hand is full-on complete mystification with over 50+ bars contesting to suit everyone's preferred fantasy. Besides Discos and music venues, other alternatives for leisure and pleasure can be ‘Traditional Physical Massage, stress-releasing Foot Massage and traditional Thai Boxing.
