Bangkok Nightclubs Guide

Certainly all areas of Bangkok are teeming with plenty of normal night clubs, from the super fancy, catering to the most wealthy of Thai and foreigners, to the more humble club catering to the other end of the spectrum. Both Pattaya and Bangkok offer all kinds of night clubs, from what you would expect, to what you definitely would not expect.

Like any big city in the world, Bangkok, as the capital of Thailand, has certain areas where there is a higher concentration of night clubs than practically anywhere else. One of them is Royal City Avenue. Rather than being a city as its name implies, it is a very long street, which is literally chock a block full of many types of nightclubs and bars. The locals refer to it as simply RCA. Here, you will find a mix of young and old people, of all types, classes and races, and probably someone from just about every country on earth. Whatever your taste, you are sure to find what you are seeking on RCA. From ‘normal’ to ‘naughty’, RCA has it all.

But Pattaya has its share of night clubs too. And it has at least as much variety as Bangkok, some would say even more. If you are seeking vibrant nightlife, then there are plenty of areas in Pattaya too which will satisfy your requirements.

The main areas to aim for in Pattaya are the Beach Road area, and Walking Street. Both these two very busy tourist spots are roads which run parallel to the sea front, which has recently been updated and refurbished with many extra lush green palms and exotic flowers.

For those with other preferences, the Boys Town will probably be of great interest. There are plenty of normal nightclubs too, all of which offer music and plenty of company, combined with very well stocked bars, many offering food as well. Those which do not offer food usually have plenty of hawker food stalls around the streets outside the venues.

Katoeys, more frequently referred to as lady-boys, tend to congregate on, and to promenade up and down Beach Road. Many of these people are quite amazingly beautiful, and it can be exceedingly difficult to tell the difference until it becomes perfectly obvious. As well as a huge selection of all kinds of night clubs, there are always plenty of ‘ladies of the night’ of many nationalities, plying their trade amongst tourists in these busy areas.
