NEED TO KNOW
Opening Hours
Live music venues generally close by 1am. A complicated zoning system sees venues in designated 'entertain-
ment areas', including RCA (Royal City Ave), Th Silom and parts of Th Sukhumvit, open until 2am, but even
these 'later' licenses are subject to police whimsy.
Bars in the various red-light districts are open until 2am.
Reservations
Reservations are recommended for prominent theatre events. Tickets can often be purchased through Thai Ticket
Major ( www.thaiticketmajor.com ) .
