Sukhumvit Nightlife

What to Do at Night in Sukhumvit

Sukhumvit's nightlife is exciting, ever-evolving, cosmopolitan and can be reduced to three main hedonistic pursuits: drinking, dancing and debauchery.

Along it, and its many adjoining sois, are countless pubs and bars, many of them very popular with expats and tourists. Most are either American-style bars or European watering holes, with the selection of draught beers and foods on sale usually reflecting the adopted theme (and more often than not the nationality of the owner).

They usually close between midnight and 01:00, and many have live music and pool tables. See our Bangkok pubs and bars section for details. The perfect prelude to a big night out, many hotels here have flash upscale bars perfect for warm-up cocktails. These include the Westin Grande, Dream and Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit.

Go Go Bars

Sukhumvit is notorious for being home to more than its fair share of girls. Nana Plaza (Soi 4) is filled with go-go bars and girls. Neon-lit lane, Soi Cowboy (off Soi 21), is similar but a little more laid-back. Sukhumvit is also home to many beer-bars, like Soi 4's Big Dogs and Hilary Bar II. These establishments contain little more than a pool table, a gaggle of girls, and an arsenal of alcohol. Like Soi 4, Soi 22 is home to a staggering amount, while Soi 33 has many upscale hostess lounges staffed by girls dressed in long flowing ballgowns. Massage parlours be found scattered around Sukhumvit. (Read more...)

Nana Plaza

Located in Sukhumvit Soi 4, Nana Entertainment Plaza is Bangkok's sleaze central. Notorious for its racy themed go-go bars - from school-girl and leather dominatrix to ladyboy - it's literally a 'sex mall', with three storeys of eye-popping activity all focused around a square-shaped central atrium. Unlike at the better-known Patpong, Nana is a 'strictly adult' scene. That means no families, no markets and few curious tourists strolling in for a look. (Read More)

Soi Cowboy in Bangkok

Named after the cowboy hat-wearing African American who opened the first bar here n the early 1970s, this red-light district has a more laid-back, convivial feel to it than Patpong or Nana Plaza. Come dusk, garish neon signs light up a seedy streetscape comprised mainly of middle-aged expats, tourists and gaudily dressed working girls. With cries of 'hello, welcome!' and mock brute-force - a playful arm tug - the latter try to lure you into one of the 40 or so go-go bars that line its sides. (Read More)

Sukhumvit Clubs

Clubbers flock to Sukhumvit's sois. Hip beats, architectural flair and good-looking international crowds converge at clubs like Bed Supperclub (Soi 11), Q Bar (Soi 11). To match the world-class venue design they often fly in top DJ'ing talent. Eager to see how the fresh-faced Thai nouveau riche like to get down? Then head a little further out to the voguish sois of Thonglor (Soi 55) and Ekkamai (Soi 63). (Read More)
