Despite what your dodgy uncle told you, having a fun night out in Bangkok does
not necessarily have to involve ping-pong balls or the word 'go-go'. As in any
big international city, the nightlife scene in Bangkok ranges from classy to trashy,
and touches on just about everything in between.

Bangkok's Club Scene
Bangkok clubs burn strong and bright on certain nights - weekends, a visit from a foreign
DJ or the music flavour of the month - then hibernate every other night. Hot spots cluster
on the soi off Sukhumvit, Silom and RCA (Royal City Ave), the city's 'entertainment
zones', which qualify for the 2am closing time.
Practicalities
Despite the relatively early closing time of 2am, most places don't begin filling up until
midnight. Cover charges run as high as 700B and usually include a drink or two. You'll
need ID to prove you're legal (20 years old); they'll card even the grey-haired.
