It’s undisputed that Bangkok’s nightlife scene is quite literally the best in the whole of Asia. But don’t let it’s notorious reputation for sex-related activities fool you. Truth be told, there’s so much more the city’s nightlife has to offer besides ping pong and ladyboy shows.
When the sun sets and the street stalls pack up, the city buzzes with a vast array of drinking spots, mega clubs and underground venues seven days a week, allowing for non-stop revelry every day of the week. It’s paradise for party animals and those looking to unleash their wild side, engaging in all sorts of vices. After all, they don’t call Bangkok sin city for nothing.
We’ve singled out 7 of our all-time favourite clubs in the capital of Thailand to give you a glimpse into the city’s rampant and diverse nightlife scene. Party hard, kids, and remember, whatever happens in Bangkok stays in Bangkok.
1. BEAM – Drink cocktails by the bucket
What was once a fairly low-key night club for the Thai hipster crowd has become a popular haunt among expats and foreigners as of late. The sound system, for one, is incredible, allowing every melody and every beat to pulsate through you but other than that, it’s just an all-in-all vibrant, fun and super-chill place to dance. The music is primarily tech house but if you’re game for some hip hop, just head downstairs.

Located smack in the middle of Bangkok’s high society district in Thong Lor, Demo sees throngs of locals and foreigners who party hard here on Wednesdays all the way through to Sunday.
