The night in Bangkok: what to see, what to do?
Nightlife in Thailand and Bangkok in particular drags its share of pictures for western tourists, but for visitors who would like to go beyond, the capital offers an impressive choice of entertainment, here is a far from exhaustive choice.
Shopping evenings
Life never stops in Bangkok and no one has to worry about the closing hours of shops to shop. While the city obviously has a large number of modern shopping malls, it also boasts many old-fashioned markets where the trotting globe can immerse itself in countless shops and experience a more traditional aspect of Thai culture. The Rot Fai Market is one of the largest and is famous for its retro souvenir shops. In a more modern style, the Jjgreen combines flea markets and open-air bars, what better than a good cold beer with friends after spending hours chasing.
Visit a night show
Bangkok's nightlife is more than just an endless party, why not visit a night show that combines culture and history? Siam niramit is an impressive show that narrates the seven centuries of the country's history in an hour and a half. A perfect introduction to the region's rich historical heritage. For lovers of old-fashioned glamour, the calypso cabaret show will be a visit of choice. With its Thai version of the cabaret, it will enchant fans of this kind of entertainment.
The top roof of Bangkok
What better place to enjoy the nightlife of a city, while enjoying a break from the hustle and bustle than the bars on the rooftops of buildings and hotels? There are many of them in a modern metropolis such as the capital but the vertigo and moon bar, well named because it is on the 61st floor of the hotel Banyan Tree, and you will be able to taste delicious cocktails. Also worth mentioning is the Above Eleven Sukhumvit, with its Central Park-inspired decoration and original cuisine, combining Japanese and Peruvian gastronomy.

Dancing in a club
An essential part of a successful evening is of course going out with friends. And clubs, Bangkok abounds. The softer legislation than in the West will allow smokers and vaping enthusiasts to enjoy the night to the fullest.
Sukhumvit is the best known Bangkok area for its nightlife and restaurants to fill up on energy. Every party boy will find something to have fun with all night long. From electronic music, with the Live RCA club and its international DJs, to jazz with the Bamboo bar for amateurs and connoisseurs, the place will delight all music lovers.
Bangkok is much more than a destination for Westerners hungry for madness, Bangkok is a modern city where nightlife has nothing to envy that of the cities renowned for attracting night owls. Combining a rich culture and fiery energy, the streets of the capital will satisfy all tastes, whether cultural, gastronomic, festive or a combination of all these.
