Bangkok Nightlife Reviews
A discerning look at a handpicked selection of venues and great nights out. Not just the latest hip and happening, but enduring classics and hidden treats too - anything that makes for an enjoyable night on the town. Dazzling ladyboy extravaganzas to the hottest bar haunts, nothing is off limits in our pursuit of the city's finest after dark delights. |
Having recently passed the ripe age of 11 years old, Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square's Concept CM2 nightclub is never going to be one of Bangkok's devastatingly hip haunts. No Thai glitterati or pop-stars are likely to slink down its steps, no groups of models turn up demanding the red carpet treatment. But then, who needs them? (READ MORE)

Sukhumvit Road's latest nightlife addition, BarSu at the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit, promises a sophistication currently lacking from the Bangkok bar scene. With bold contemporary design, forward-looking food and a daringly different music policy, it delivers. The team behind it have crafted an elegant space that works not by fitting into the 'loud beats' trend for bars, but by giving customers' pleasure-seeking impulses - not dance music - pride of place.

Just as I make it to my seat, the stagelights flare up. "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen," announces a male voice in pristine Queen's English.

Patpong, if you didn't already know, gets really bad press. On the one hand it's renowned as the city's epicenter of sin, for being sleazy, tacky, aggressive, a haven for pickpockets and exploiting bar girls.

Incensed by these sensationalist portrayals, we were invited by an Austrian entrepreneur and Patpong businessman to take a closer look... (READ MORE)

The association between oysters and sex is such a cliché that ordering some on a date is embarrassing. Equivalent, say, to sounding your glass in a restaurant, calling for hush and declaring to a room full of strangers your lustful intentions.

Showing at the Sala Chalermkrung Theatre (every Friday and Saturday at 20:30) until December 29, 2007 as part of 60th anniversary celebrations for the King, Hanuman the Mighty's adventures is a lot more than just distracting, dressy fun. It's a captivating tale about courage, power, loyalty and selfless service. Drenched in Thai mysticism, it's also a fascinating window onto Thailand's classical masked dance, or Khon. Oh, and there's a monkey in it. (READ MORE)
