Sathorn: Nightlife

Many modish hotels and serviced apartments in Sathorn usually feature their own bars or clubs. The hip and classy Hu'u Bar at the Ascott Sathorn, and Zuk Bar at Sukhothai Hotel are among the city's best. One of  Bangkok's most popular nightlife experiences is drinks at Vertigo, the trendy rooftop bar at Banyan Tree Hotel.

The city views are fantastic (covered by the steep prices on the drinks menu), and well worth a visit. Get there before sunset and dress nicely if you want to get in (no beach shorts, vests, sandals or flip-flops).

For a full-blown racy nightlife scene, however, head to Silom and visit Patpong's notorious go-go bars. Rainbow boys can also have their fun too, at Silom Soi 2 and 4.
