The Bangkok Nightlife Guide to Clean clubs
Royal City Avenue (R.C.A)
RCA is one big strip, it’s one street with many bars and clubs. They have two main Bangkok clubs, one is Route 66 the other is Slim/Flix. Both clubs here are clean and hooker free, they are clubs like you would find back home in England….well kinda.
Route 66 – RCA
Entry fee for farangs: 300baht gets you a drinks coupon Hookers/Prostitutes: There are none here, if they is, its under 1%<. Ladyboys : 3-5%< Dress Code: no flip flops Route 66 is a typical Thai venue, they have 3 rooms. One will have a live Thai band playing, the other will be a R n B room which is usually the busiest. They also have a house/trance room, but I don’t think that gets busy until 2am. Route 66 is busy everyday of the week. Weekdays you would want to get there around 11:30pm-midnight. On a Friday and Saturday around 9-10pm to get a table. For Bangkok clubs, this is about Bangkok as your gonna get.
A bottle of Vodka 70cl is 1,400baht
A bottle of Red label 70cl, 1,800baht
A bottle of Black label 70cl 2,100baht

Weekdays you would to get there around 11:30pm-midnight. On a Friday and Saturday around 9:30pm to get a table. This is my pick for the no.1 Bangkok club on a week day. Slim will end up closing around 2-2:30am, then people will enter the Flix which is joined together, which stays open until 5am.

Thong Lo
Thong Lo is an area in Bangkok which is considered to be quite posh and up-class. There are a few Bangkok clubs in this area, but I will only mention the main three, Wip, Funky Villa and Demo. All clubs here are clean and hooker free, they are clubs like you would find back home Related guides: learn where to find happy ending massages in Bangkok and the best nuru massages in Thailand.
Funky Villa -Thong Lo Soi 10
Entry fee: Mon-thus free entry (fri-sat300baht gets you a drinks coupon ) Hookers/Prostitutes : There are none here, if they is, its under 1%<. Ladyboys: 3-5%< Dress Code:no flip flops Funky Villa is a “Thai Thai ” Bangkok club, which means they play alot of Thai music, which is not what I want to here when I’m drinking. its a bit more “up class” to RCA, feels a bit pretentious at times but still a fun place to visit, and its free entry most days. On a scale of 1-10 of how this would compare in Bangkok’s nightlife, I would give it around a 5.5. I like to pre drink here as vodka bottles are only 1,000 baht.
A bottle of Vodka 70cl is 1,000baht

Related: find the best blow job bars in Bangkok and how much it costs for sex in Bangkok. Really good vibe i find inside and music is great.

It’s a nice place to start the evening in my opinion, a beer is around 130baht then head on elsewhere. Related to Asia: find out the best soaplands in Tokyo. This club gets pretty packed fast, so if you want a table, I would suggest getting here early. This is the Bangkok club to be seen at.

There are still a few more clubs I need to add to this list, but for now the above sums up most of the clean Bangkok nightlife, when I have more time, I will discuss about the new clubs, such as Levels and Love F bar. If I didn’t mention a club on the list it means its not worth going to * Q bar* cough cough. The above is the elite places in the Bangkok nightlife for you to visit.
Levels
The good thing about Levels nightclub is the entry is free. Regardless of the night you will not have to pay anything to get in. It’s located on Sukhumvit Soi 11 on top of a rooftop, you will need a lift to get up there. Sadly, that’s the only positives I can say bout Levels. Drinks are crazy expensive with a bottle of beer starting at 250 baht and bottles from 3,000 baht upwards. The crowd is pretty mixed with Thai hookers and regular girls, holiday makers and expats. If you’re new to Bangkok it’s not a bad venue because it’s located in the middle of the tourist district. Related: the best places to meet Osaka girls. You can read my full review of Levels nightclub in Bangkok here.
Onxy
Onxy has been open for just over a year and is probably the most successful Bangkok club that’s started in the last year. Located in RCA, next door to Route 66, If you want a real Thai clubbing experience, check out Onyx. Drinks prices are the same as Route 66 and entry price for farangs is 300 baht. Once again you can avoid this if you buy a bottle which is always better value. Prices in Bangkok for clubs have gone up a little over the years but compared to prices of taking girls out in Macau or Hong Kong hooker areas, it’s pretty darn cheap.
Altitude
Altitude is another rooftop club, located in Phra Khanong. It never gets busy until after 2am and entry is free. There is a mixed group of people, with some Thai hookers and normal Thai girls. Entry is free and drinks start from 150 baht upwards. The place is pretty small so if you like bigger venues, head to other clubs within the Bangkok nightlife.
The Darker side of the Bangkok Nightlife
The Bangkok nightlife various a lot, any nightclub that starts to get busy after 2AM, is usually seedy to some extent and full of Thai bar girls. All clubs below are the darker side of the spectrum of what Bangkok nightlife has to offer. If you have no interest in these clubs I suggest other way to find Thai girls in Bangkok and How to find a Thai girlfriend in Bangkok nightclubs are very good reads for you.
Scratch Dog – Sukhumvit Soi 22
Entry fee: 300 bahtentry gets you a drinks coupon Hookers/Prostitutes : Some Ladyboys:A few Scratch dog (scat dog known by Asians) is another after hours place which gets busy after 2am, located in a hotel, music is hip hop/house and is mainly full of Thai people and guys from Japan/Korea. Smoking is allowed in the club, not many farangs to be seen here. Bottle prices start from around 2,000 baht upwards, one of the better after hours places in the Bangkok nightlife. Word of warning, a lot of people smoke and do seesha here, so it can get pretty smoky inside. Very few Thai ladyboys here.
Bottle of Vodka – 1800 bhat
Bottle of Black label – 2200 baht
Bottle of JD- 24000 baht
Beers from 180baht
Insanity (After hours) (formally Insomnia) – Sukhumvit Soi 12
Entry fee: 300bahtentry gets you a drinks coupon Hookers/Prostitutes : Many Ladyboys : Some Most Bangkok taxi drivers will know about this club and you should get a free taxi there. The club plays house music and is open until 6am. The crowd is mostly “working Thai girls”, and all men are foreigners. If you pull a girl from here, don’t think it because of your looks, but rather the size of your wallet. Bangkok clubbing at its finest. Seedy Bangkok night life to be found here, each and every day of the week. Bottles start from around 2,500 baht including mixers and less if you have a Insanity club card.
Climax (After hours) – Sukhumvit Soi 11
Entry fee: 250 baht entry gets you a drinks coupon Hookers/Prostitutes: Many Ladyboys :Some Climax usually has a live band on every night, singing song from R n B, to old school songs and a few Thai songs. The crowd is mostly “working Thai girls”, and all men are foreigners. If you pull a girl from here, don’t think it because of your looks, but rather the size of your wallet. Bottles start from around 2,500 baht including mixers.
The Mixx (after hours)
Entry fee: 350 baht entry gets you a drinks coupon Hookers/Prostitutes: Some Ladyboys:Few Dresscode: No Shorts! (although you do provide trousers for a small fee) The Mixx is a interesting place, It tries to sell it self as a lavish after hours venue, the drinks here are slightly more pricey then other joints. There a number of working girls and “normal” girls in this venue, added with a lot of drunken westerners who asked a taxi driver to take them to a club, and well… here they are. From the list this would be one of the less seedier and better that the Bangkok nightlife has to offer you.
Spicy – Near MBK
Entry fee: 300 baht entry gets you a drinks coupon Hookers/Prostitutes: Many Ladyboys:Many Almost every taxi driver will know about spicy and will offer you a free lift as they get a kickback. Does not get busy until after 2am and is pretty crazy once inside. The club is mixed with Thai girls and a lot of westerners drunk. It closes at 6am, but there is a club opposite it called “Spicy 2/ Swing” which is free entry and you are allowed to bring your streets. it stays open until midday. For Bangkok nightlife and clubs, this is about as bad as you are going to get it. Every club listed in this article allows you to leave your bottles behind the bar for your next visit. From friends and other I’ve been told that some places replace your bottles with cheaper whiskey or dilute it with water and take some out. Just be careful when leading your bottle card behind the bar.
New club updates from 2016
All the information below was sent to me by another expat living in Bangkok talking about new clubs in the area. There are already a lot of nightlife happenings here in Bangkok and if you are going to visit the city, you really wouldn’t get bored for you can always find attractions whatsoever sort of events and activities you are in: As I go along the streets of Bangkok and explore the night, I was able to find a lot of clubs that are appealing and remarkable and here is my list of Bangkok Clubs and Bars that you should also try:
Ce La Vi or formerly called Ku De Ta Bangkok
found in Sathorn with a sophisticated space a stunning rooftop views from the 39th floor of Sathorn One Building. This club in Bangkok brings a great life and entertainment for Bangkok Nightlife and has been running over the years. As the club’s name has changed this 2016, you can still notice how people love the place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJa_XoXbJQo The scenic view from the rooftop would really make you love the place as you watch through the cityscape and the great view to the Chao Phraya River. The sound system here in Ce La Vi is also a great one and the music do varies on what day you are in the club and it is somehow amusing with how the place changes from being a restaurant in the day time and a club during night time. Opening ours: 8:00 PM until 2:00 AM (Monday to Sunday)
one of the Bangkok clubs that you can find in the busy roads of Soi 45 Sukhumvit Road. This is a fantastical bar-cum-club that is famous and known in Bangkok nightlife for its creative interior design concept. As having fun with Bangkok nightlife here in Sing Sing Theater, you would discover the elaborated and great entertainment from the club that is indeed a great treat for the guest’s eyes. The club is also divided into two downstairs for its balcony which is hanging over the dance floor and a central dance floor that is doubled for stage performances which makes the place a unique one and the feel of sophistication runs all over the club. When you are into drinking, don’t expect too much with your 500 Baht for a beer itself here in Sing Sing Theater starts at 180 Baht. Opening Hours: 8:00 PM until 2:00 AM (closed on Monday) Aside from these clubs and bars found in Bangkok, the city do also have other services to offer for both tourists and locals and one of these are there go go bars in where you can find a lot of bar girls dancing and swaying their arse out all throughout the night.
Go go bars in Bangkok
There are in fact a lot of go go bars in the city and if you would ask me which one is the best for me among the go go bars in Bangkok, here is a list of mine: Baccara – the bar is located at the end of Soi Cowboy and it is one of the top bars for Bangkok nightlife for its ladies which are labelled as the hottest in the city. The girls here in Baccara usually wear sexy school skirts which is popular for Koreans and Japanese men. They also charges a bar fine in an affordable price with 600 Baht for all the girls, 200 Baht for a lady’s drink, and 180 Baht for a beer. Bada Bing A Go Go – this bar is located at Patpong Soi 2 and you would surely love this club for their 25 girls dancing provocatively on their stage while dressed in a sexy army uniform, nurse outfit, denim micro-shorts, and many more that would definitely make you drag one. The bar is modern and you would really go back in here with their free entry every night of the week. Tilac Go Go Bar – it is one of the biggest bars in Bangkok and is located at Soi Cowboy. The bar has an impressive room design, lighting, and they even have a large TV screens in where you can watch movies and sports channels whenever you’ll get bored with the bar’s show. The bar has 15-20 girls dancing in the re platform. The beer here in Tilac starts at 120 Baht which is an affordable price in Bangkok nightlife and bars.
Rooftop bars in Bangkok
You might also want to try rooftop bars in Bangkok which is also a known nightlife in the city. Vertigo and Moon Bar is in the top of the list and I myself do really love this bar for its magnificent overlooking view of the Bangkok nightlife while enjoy some champagne or exotic cocktails.
Night markets
Aside from these nightclubs and go go bars in Bangkok, you can still enjoy Bangkok nightlife in various ways such as their night market in where you can go eat and shopping all night long. If you are into some food trip, you can always find a lot of delectable food here in Bangkok and that is actually one of the reasons Thais loves their night market. There are actually a lot of night markets in Bangkok such as Patpong Night Market, Asiatique the Riverfront, Suan Lum Night Bazaar, and many more which caters any demand from tourists and even locals. People here in Bangkok are indeed a nice one thus, you can always enjoy your stay in Bangkok with their company. If you are the adventurous and bold kind of person, you can always find ways on how to have fun with yourself wherever you are and I assure you that Bangkok nightlife is a great thing that you should experience in where you can meet new faces and new people. Thinking about going to Phuket? Then read my post on where to meet normal girls in Phuket and the best go go bars in Patong. Want to get laid in Thailand for free, then read this article. This page is still a work in progress for to be the best Bangkok nightlife guide, I will update as and when I can. Remember there are always more way to meet Thai girls in Bangkok.
I come to Bangkok at least twice a year, as my other half is thai and from Bangkok, I am lucky enough to see Thailand from both sides of the coin, as it goes the misses loves the night life Bangkok has to offer even the odd trip to Kosan road. What is fun if you with friends on the street bars be it a VW camper van converted and they are cheap around soi 12. you have soi cowboy a little street just full of go go bars where you will pay a ransom for anything except the corner bar, which we sometimes go as we have friends there and there is always a live band and a pool table. Leaving that behind there are many clubs in the area we tend to end up in climax or space we always have a good time.My issues is thai I never get ripped off and as she is gorgeous, I not looking to empty my wallet on working girls and end up going home skint. I am lucky enough my one comes home with me, finding a thai girlfriend is easy as long as you have the money to pay for it. Don’t be under any illusion there is any other reason she be with you they are working girls and they will empty your wallet faster than you can get to an ATM and refill it. You have been warned if you are looking for a thai girlfriend stay away from go go bars is my final note is Thailand is an amazing place and it’s people are just the same
As I see it there are no after hour clubs any more. They were shut down by the military. All clubs close at 2:00 am to 2:30 am. Mixx, Route66, Climax, Insomnia etc.
It really depends on the days, Spicy and Shock will usually be open late. The shutdown happen now and again (for about 1-2 weeks) before things go back to normal again.
My Thai partner of 8+ years and I love the nightlife Bangkok has to offer from the random street bars that pop up to the really good clubs away from the tourist areas there are some really good things happening in Bangko. We met sek loso in climax a few years ago and became friends with him and spend time with him in London when he in the UK which is always fun he is a great rock artist if you have not heard of him. Climax has a soft spot for me and the live bands are always good for the first time traveler to Bangkok. It’s a good place to start off Bangkok has so much to offer just go walkabout even now after going to Bangkok twice a year for the last 8+ years I still get nice surprises all the time love it.
And Ce La VI is now the Club at Koi. Insanity and Levels have again raised their standards and prices. There’s a lot going on, it’s hard to keep track of it.
you haven’t mentioned SHOCK 39 ( the mother of all pick up joints ) , great range a good mix of west and East …. 3000-4000 bhat….. i miss CM 2 some amazing memories till it shut down 🙁
800 baht for entry to “Insanity” (1 free drink); “Onyx” – 500 baht (2 free drinks); “Mixx” – 300 baht (and I changed a ticket to good Long Island). And “house music” in “Insanity”? Maybe, you are lucky, but for my visit: no any house here, just regular thai pop-remixes. “Mixx” have a good trance music, and even small space for dance; a lot of prostitutes, yes. And I was surprized, but I found really techno club in Thai. “De Commune” inside “Liberty Plaza” (300 baht for entry with no free drink, 120 bath for tequila): dance floor, no waiters, no tables, good sound. But lack of people and works not every day – not so good place for see many girls.
I’m surprised that you haven’t taken off Climax which closed its door for good (yes unfortunately for good) on April 25th. Even there website gives a farewell message from the Hillary group.
Hi Harvie, lucky to find your article. I am about to visit Bangkok for a week at the first time with my girl, can you recommend 3-4 good places for dancing and drinking? Such as discotheque or nightclub with nice massive crowd and middle to large dance floor. Price does not an issue.
Hi harvie … I’ll be in Bangkok in July for the first time( 3 days only ) … is this list updated ? I mean the rca clubs ( entry fee and the kind of girls there and the drink prices )
There are a lot of nightclubs that don’t allow ladyboys to enter. What are the best after hours clubs to meet ladyboys? EQ used to be the place before it shutdown, I have heard its reopened but have not got any feedback yet on whether it is still ladyboy friendly.
Hey Harvie. I enjoy reading your website. useful stuffs preparing for BKK. one question, any Go go Bars offers private lapdances and striptease u know of? Thanks!

I live in Bangkok and this is one of my go to articles when deciding where I will go out at night lol.
As I see it there are no after hour clubs any more. They were shut down by the military. All clubs close at 2:00 am to 2:30 am. Mixx, Route66, Climax, Insomnia etc.
It really depends on the days, Spicy and Shock will usually be open late. The shutdown happen now and again (for about 1-2 weeks) before things go back to normal again.
Is Altitude really open any more? Their Facebook page hasn’t been updated in a year. I find no info about this club.
It closed a while back, it’s not longer open but there is a pretty big beer garden open from 6pm onwards right next to it.
Route 66 is a great spot. I have seen many motor show models there.
Spicy and swing is closed.
Do anyone know where to party and dance
I’m the wee hours 6am – 10 am
Swing has now moved to the Rumuchit hotel, the drivers should know it. People call it Swing 2.
My Thai partner of 8+ years and I love the nightlife Bangkok has to offer from the random street bars that pop up to the really good clubs away from the tourist areas there are some really good things happening in Bangko. We met sek loso in climax a few years ago and became friends with him and spend time with him in London when he in the UK which is always fun he is a great rock artist if you have not heard of him. Climax has a soft spot for me and the live bands are always good for the first time traveler to Bangkok. It’s a good place to start off Bangkok has so much to offer just go walkabout even now after going to Bangkok twice a year for the last 8+ years I still get nice surprises all the time love it.
Climax has closed a few weeks back. No news about a possible new location.
Insanity is now on Soi 11.
And Ce La VI is now the Club at Koi. Insanity and Levels have again raised their standards and prices. There’s a lot going on, it’s hard to keep track of it.
you haven’t mentioned SHOCK 39 ( the mother of all pick up joints ) , great range a good mix of west and East …. 3000-4000 bhat….. i miss CM 2 some amazing memories till it shut down 🙁
800 baht for entry to “Insanity” (1 free drink); “Onyx” – 500 baht (2 free drinks); “Mixx” – 300 baht (and I changed a ticket to good Long Island). And “house music” in “Insanity”? Maybe, you are lucky, but for my visit: no any house here, just regular thai pop-remixes. “Mixx” have a good trance music, and even small space for dance; a lot of prostitutes, yes. And I was surprized, but I found really techno club in Thai. “De Commune” inside “Liberty Plaza” (300 baht for entry with no free drink, 120 bath for tequila): dance floor, no waiters, no tables, good sound. But lack of people and works not every day – not so good place for see many girls.
I’m surprised that you haven’t taken off Climax which closed its door for good (yes unfortunately for good) on April 25th. Even there website gives a farewell message from the Hillary group.
Which one the best, classy and have a life band/music for a couple (Me and my girlfriend)?
Brick Bar in Koh San has good live music.
Hi Harvie, lucky to find your article. I am about to visit Bangkok for a week at the first time with my girl, can you recommend 3-4 good places for dancing and drinking? Such as discotheque or nightclub with nice massive crowd and middle to large dance floor. Price does not an issue.
Insanity.
Hi harvie … I’ll be in Bangkok in July for the first time( 3 days only ) … is this list updated ? I mean the rca clubs ( entry fee and the kind of girls there and the drink prices )
Prices are a little more but most of the clubs are still there.
Hi Harvie!
There are a lot of nightclubs that don’t allow ladyboys to enter. What are the best after hours clubs to meet ladyboys? EQ used to be the place before it shutdown, I have heard its reopened but have not got any feedback yet on whether it is still ladyboy friendly.
Is there a list of ladyboy friendly nightclubs?
