Picture choosen by: Mr.Aadu Sye Nightlife in Thailand Bangkok is a vibrant city offers you a colorful nightlife. The entertainment venues range from nightclubs, pubs, bars, cinemas and restaurants, to massage parlours, pool halls and cocktail lounges. The nightlife entertainments clustered in three districts of Bangkok – Banglamphu, Patpong, Sukhumvit Road and the Bearby Street of Soi Cowboy. Bangkok's sex industry is as blatant and booming as ever.


Many venues are open all day and late into the night, although bars and clubs are supposed to close at 0200. Sometimes there is an admission fee but this usually includes one or two drinks. The dress code is very relaxed, although a few of the nightclubs do enforce smarter clothing.

Besides bars and pubs, there are many performances of traditional religious and court dances in Thailand Cultural Centre and Patravadi Theatre in Bangkok. Traditional dances are the main activity of nightlife. However, the attendance is almost exclusively by foreigners. The full moon parties are notorious and continue well into the following morning. Performances by the infamous katoeys (lady boys) are worth a visit, with the most famous seen at the Calypso Cabaret in the Asia Hotel in Bangkok
