Bars start to get busy from 8 pm, with most people moving onto the clubs around midnight.

Silom is the best neighborhood if you are looking to hit up a couple of different venues in a night.

Start at Silom Soi 4 it’s literally a street full of gay bars, perfect for bar hopping. Then from midnight onto Silom Soi 2 for DJ Station, Bangkok’s biggest club. From 2 am onwards, things move onto G Bangkok, just 2 minutes walk from DJ Station.

 

Beer is big in Thailand. The biggest local brands are ChangLeo, and SighnaRed Bull’s roots are also in Thailand but note the original/local version is not carbonated (no fizz or bubbles).

For something stronger, the Thai classic has to be SangSom. Confusingly it’s often sold as “Thai whiskey” but is actually rum, distilled from sugarcane. SangSom is also the main component of Thailand’s notorious “buckets of alcohol.”
