It is no big secret that Bangkok has one of the wildest nightlife scenes in the whole of South East Asia. Travelers and tourist alike ,men and woman, young and old, come from all over the world to dance, drink and party the night away. With ultra modern clubs filled with beautiful people and bass thumping tune blasting on high; people flock in droves to take part in Bangkok's famous international club scene.
If this is your first time visiting Bangkok and you are looking for a hotel, then the best thing to do is get stay in place that is close to the most famous nightlife hot spots.
There are several distinct areas where Bangkok's nightlife is concentrated in. As a first time visitor to Bangkok it is best to stay within the commercial areas.
So the best thing to do as a first timer to Bangkok Thailand is to stay in hotels in the vicinity of the Nana Entertainment Plaza (NEP). Now NEP is a three story complex containing a cluster of watering holes and bars with pool tables. You will also find a bunch of go-go bars on all three floors. Sex for sale is available here so this place is certainly not a place to take young kids to. There are many hotels around that area with brand names such as the Marriott and the Landmark.
Now NEP is a little bit off of a major street called Sukhumvit and there are a lot of hotels along this area. One hotel that I really recommend is the Majestic Grande Hotel. This hotel is relatively new with all the modern comforts you can ask for. The service is excellent and the front staff do speak english. This hotel is only a short three minute walk to NEP.
Another popular nightlife area is called Patpong which is located in the Silom district. Patpong consists of several streets or what the Thais call sois. In these sois tourist can find go-go bars and clubs with live bands. Sex for sale is obvious here even when you see local Thai people with families walking around.
Patpong is an okay place to travel visit even if you have kids who are mature. Because Patpong also has a night market where you will find families wandering around, getting a glance of bikini clad woman dancing on stages. Patpong night market has a lot of counterfeit goods for sale. Almost any cheap fake brand name hand bags, watches and clothes are available here for purchase. I don't suggest buying the watches but so whatever makes you happy. Do bargain hard with a smile as the vendors expect you to.
So to truly experience the full effect of Patpong you should stay in hotels along Silom and Surawong. Two hotels that I can recommend are the Tawana Ramada and the Montien Hotel Bangkok. These two hotels are within a short walking distance to Patpong.
So if you want to come to Bangkok Thailand to experience the nightlife scene, I really do suggest that you stay within the commercial areas at first. Bangkok is a relatively safe city compared to other cities in South East Asia as well as Western cities. But scams by local Thais do exist so be careful. Also the language barrier is an issue, so have hotel staff write down your destination in Thai. By staying in hotels near the nightlife district you can maximize your pleasure and enjoyment of the best nightlife that the city Bangkok has to offer.
