Club entertainment in Bangkok

A
Slim/Flix
Ideal for the indecisive raver, this immense three-in-one complex dominating one end of RCA features chilled house on one side (Flix), while the other (Slim) does the hip hop/R & B soundtrack found across much of the city. Oh, and there’s a restaurant thrown in there somewhere as well. Despite its size, this place is packed on weekends.

Bed Supperclub
This illuminated tube has been a literal highlight of the Bangkok club scene for a good while now. Arrive early to squeeze in dinner , or if you've only got dancing on your mind, come on Tuesday for the popular hip-hop nights.

Lucifer
Meet the Miltonian side of Lucifer: a fun-loving hedonist. Nestled in the heart of Patpong, Lucifer kicks off the night with a few brave travellers who wander in from the night market. By 11pm the crowd shifts to a younger, prettier persuasion with serious dance-floor know-how. Another wave of recruits arrives at hook-up time.

Glow is a small venue with a big reputation. Boasting a huge variety of vodkas and a recently upgraded sound system, the tunes range from hip-hop to electronica and just about everything in between.

Club Culture
Housed in a seemingly abandoned four-storey building, Club Culture is the quirkiest member of Bangkok's club scene. Opening dates and times can depend on events, so check the website to see what's going on.

Met Bar
Cosy and fashionable, the Met Bar started its career as a members-only club but has relaxed its policy to include everyone dressed to impress. The Friday night theme nights get the most attention, but in fickle Bangkok the Met's social standing is not guaranteed.

Route 66
This place has been around just about as long as RCA, but a recent facelift has given it a new feel and an impressive following. Hip hop rules here, although there are several different themed ‘levels’, featuring anything from Thai pop to live music.

Royal City Avenue
Royal City Avenue is well and truly Club Alley. Formerly a bastion of the teen scene, this Vegas-like strip has finally graduated from high school and at such clubs as the following now hosts partiers of every age.

Café Democ
Up-and-coming DJs present their turntable dexterity at this narrow unpretentious club in Olde Bangkok. Hip hop, break beat, drum ‘n’ bass and tribal fill the night roster, but only special events actually fill the floor.

G.O.D. (Guys on Display)
The former Freeman has been reincarnated as this popular after-hours destination. Open late and, as the name suggests, not averse to a bit of shirtless dancing. Located on the tiny alley between Soi 2 and Soi Thaniya.

Superfly
This gargantuan dance hall is a decent middle ground in the jungle of Bangkok clubs; not too trendy, with music that the majority of us can shake to. As with many places in town, the cover charge gets you one drink.

Dance Fever
Like taking a time machine back to the previous decade, Dance Fever is a holdover from the days when a night out in Bangkok meant corny live stage shows, wiggling around the whisky set table, and neon, neon, neon.

Hollywood
Like taking a time machine back to the previous century, Hollywood is a holdover from the days when a night out in Bangkok meant corny live stage shows, wiggling around the whisky-set table and neon, neon, neon.

70’s Bar
A tad too small to be a club proper, this retro-themed bar spins all the hits for Gen Y in the ultimate Me city. Like much of the strip, the clientele is mixed, but often verges on the pink side of the fence.

Nung-Len
Young, loud and Thai, Nung-Len (literally 'sit and chill') is a ridiculously popular sardine tin of live music and uni students on popular Th Ekamai. Make sure you get in before 10pm or you won't get in at all.

808
Named after the infamous beat machine, this club fills the space previously occupied by Astra and follows the tradition of big-name DJs and insanely crowded events. Virtually empty on weeknights.

Fake Club
This place has found a niche somewhere between Ratchada and Silom. You’ll still find students here, but the crowd is a tad older and more sophisticated, as is the decor and music.

Narz
The former Narcissus has undergone a recent nip and tuck and now consists of three separate zones boasting an equal variety of music. It’s largely a domestic scene.

Shela
Owned by the same women who run Zeta, Shela draws a slightly more mature crowd with live music, a pool table and food. Women only.

If you're willing to wait out the perpetual queue, inside you'll find a dark den packed to the gills with young Thai hipsters.
