SUKHUMVIT: NANA PLAZA TO SOI COWBOY TO PATPONG
Bangkok's bars and Go-Go's close around 1-2am ( new Thai Govt laws!!!! totaslly crazy as the scene doesn't get live until 10pm) but there are the odd places you can still go to. You have a choice of Patpong and the Silom area, but the better places are around Sukhumvit Rd, some of which stay open late.In the evening and up until about 1.00am there are several places to frequent. In Nana Plaza the disco girlie bars stay open till 1am with no cover charge but if you want to take a girl out you must pay the bar fine of 400-600 baht then negotiate with the girl which will set you back a further 1000 -2500 baht or more for the unwary? However everything is negotiable but agree first otherwise you might be relieved of more cash. Girls are normally OK as the owners won't tolerate them fleecing the foreigners. They don't like the publicity & they certainly don't want the bad stigma that of being reported in the "Bangkok Post" -business is business as they say so unlike Khao San Rd they do well enough to discourage so called "fleecing".
Gullivers Pub and Restaurant Sukhumvit Soi 5. Free ADSL internet. No expense spared in this huge Pub. Done with loads of Neons and an old car above the Bar this is a must to see and rink in. The food is Ok as well and open all day every day. Great meeting place and has nice quiet areas and large TV screen. A must to see the decour and interior decorating making it one of the best pubs in Bangkok & Pattaya.
Beer Garden Sukhumvit Soi 7. Great meeting place for us expats with a large circle egg shaped bar & Ok for visitors. Loads of girls in the afternoon with more coming in at night. Indeed no shortage of women here. There's a few other bars in this Soi (street) with a new food & beer bar area opposite. The food's Ok. Owned by a Thai but was exGerman? if you want to play pool then they have an area now upstairs. Lots of girls hang around the street & theres a couple of good little bars with Thai food & more bars and pool in the alley behind. All around this part of Sukhumvit there's just loads of girls hanging around and more surprisingly when the daylight turns to darkness. However it starts in the morning at the Beer Garden & a definite start to Bangkok. Watch out they might be friendly but they want 1000 - 2000 baht. but then thats Ok compared to back home eh!!!
The Thermae Soi 15 Sukhumvit, bar-girls are everywhere. The most popular pick up joint is The Thermae Coffee Shop, a basement bar area in Ruam Chit Plaza, where literally hundreds of girls congregate from 11pm onwards. Go there late as there's plenty of other places to go and see before you head here. It's worth seeing everyone around a big hall and it now closesaround1.00am-- ideal if you are really desperate but it's amazing who you see there. Many girls are either unemployed, or moonlight to help their mothers & grandparents back in Essan but the place fills with girls who stop by after leaving their other places of fun; namely the go go's and bars. The bar in the middle is no longer a bar left for the punters but you will be served by a few elderly Thais. Ok for a look around.
Nana Hotel & Angels disco in Sukhumvit Soi 4, opposite Nana Plaza the nightclub strip joint area. This has been a popular after hours meeting place for a long time now and it still gets really packed. No entrance charge for nana Plaza but Nana Hotel has a diusco after 10pm and costs around 300baht entry with one free drink. The disco has loud techno music & lots of girls.Outside on the street theres a bar where all day the girls hang about called the Golden bar. Watch out for the touts trying to get money for sunglasses, watches and donations for an Emergency Red Cross (its a scam for themselves). Also watch the shoe shine girls (they have been known to run away with nice shoes!!!!! ). Its one of the only outdoor basrs with aircon blasting away but full every day. A lot of foreigners stay in the Nana Hotel which is OK at 1200 baht a night to start. There's loads of girls here & it's not that far to your room. The Hotel is an OK place to stay at & its booked out during the November-March rush so email first to get yourself a room. .
Rainbow 2000 is on the first floor of the building directly opposite the Raja Hotel just 500 metres down Soi 4 on the same side of the road as Angels. More of a disco than Angels, Rainbow gets very full around the early hours. When I say that 1am is starting to crank up but looks like the Govt is changing all the hours again. Like most Thai joints the music is full on but the service is Ok. Worth a look if new to town.
Soi Cowboy & Nana Plaza are the strip joint places where the drinks are a little on the high side yet the entrance fee is normally free. You can ask the waitresses if you desire the company of the fairer sex & the girls have a number from which you select. Ok but the night but it can be dear. When you go into one joint you will notice they get worse as you head along to the back one especially in Nana. The small amphitheatre has more go go bars upstairs but after awhile it all looks the same. For good old Eagles music and Santana hit the Country Road Pub at the entrance to Soi Cowboy.
Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel: has a joint called Spasso's in the basement. Meals are OK & girls are forever present. Don't be fooled though, these are the same girls that you see dancing in GoGo bars, but theres prices have just increased somewhat.
GOOD OLE BANGKOK DRINKING HOLES:
Gullivers Pub and Restaurant Sukhumvit Soi 5. Free ADSL internet to use with big screen Tv and a huge area for dinners, privacy and bartalk. No expense spared in this huge Pub. Done with loads of Neons and an old car above the Bar this is a must to see and drink in. The food is Ok as well and open all day every day till late at night and they have an outdoor area for eating and watching. Foodland supermarket is just down the road but if you want to see a well run Pub hit Gullivers. They are also in Pattaya. Great meeting place and has nice quiet areas and large TV screen. A must to see. You can also meet some nice Thai ladies who frequent the place.

Larry's Bar & Grill in Sukhumvit Soi 22. It features the only "beach" in Bangkok. Diving trips daily with adjoining dive shop. There's a sign in the window that says "Warm Beer, Lousy Food, Slow Service, and Cold Women" Give it a blast.
