Being called one of the world’s tourism paradises, Bangkok dazzled tourists not only for the beauty of its landscapes or constructions but also the extremely interesting nightlife. No matter if you are travelling with a tour or just backpacking, below are the top places for nightlife in Bangkok that you will not want to miss.
Night markets
Shopping is one of the most popular activities of tourists in Bangkok because the products here are cheap and still have good quality. The shopping places are becoming more diverse, but there are 2 markets for nightlife in Bangkok you should not ignore, which are Patong market and Suan Lum Night Bazzar.
Located on Silom Street, Patong market sells numerous items, most of them are from China. The market is extremely dynamic, even late at night. The Suan Lum Night Bazzar, on the other hand, opens from 6:30 pm to 12:00 am every day. The market offers various kinds of goods, from normal clothes to furniture.
