Khao San Road

Considered one of the top nightlife areas in Bangkok for both locals and tourists alike, Khao San Road is a stretch of clubs, bars, massage parlours, tattoo shops and more on a single road. However, over the years, Khao San has expanded and spilled over onto the neighbouring streets, such as Soi Rambuttri and Chakrabongse.  So, for those looking for a big night of partying with good music and reasonably priced drinks, Khao San Road is the place to go! If you begin to feel hungry towards the end of the night, purchase some snacks at the convenience stores nearby or opt for a freshly made plate of Pad Thai from the local street food vendors.

Patpong Market

For those looking to get their retail fix, head to downtown Bangkok and visit the bustling Patpong Market. Known as one of the popular night markets in Bangkok, you can put your bargaining skills to the test as you haggle over souvenirs, clothes, electronics and other quirky items to bring home as a token from your trip. This nightlife area in Bangkok is always packed with tourists and locals daily, as it is located in the centre of the city’s notorious red-light district area. If you are heading to the market with your little ones, we recommend heading straight over to the market area during the hours of 6pm until midnight. There are also a number of street vendors available until the early morning serving local favourites, including Pad Thai, grilled meat and seafood.
