Bangkok's Nightlife

Bangkok's nightlife has a reputation for being wild and rowdy, but at the same time it is relaxed, safe and enjoyable. Rapidly establishing itself as Asia's capital of cool, Bangkok's diverse
nightlife scenes feature everything from excellent live music, to good jazz clubs, ultra cool bars, exuberant dance venues and great restaurants, and go far beyond its once upon a time sleazy and naughty.

Notorious places like Patpong continue to attract curious tourists to the numerous neon-lit girly bars, while its adjacent night market, selling clothes and souvenirs is just as popular. But beyond souvenir shopping and bar hopping, Bangkok offers a much wider range of sophisticated entertainment,
such as traditional performances. Most locations are easily accessible by either BTS or MRT.
