Bangkok Nightlife
Nana Entertainment Plaza
To most visitors the impressions and expectations of the Bangkok nightlife scene seem to extend no further than the adult playgrounds of Soi Cowboy, the Nana Entertainment Plaza and the famous Pat Pong red light district and night market, but there are of course an abundance of other pleasurable options once the sun has gone down in this sometime complex but always vibrant cosmopolitan city.
Thai's have a phrase "Sanuk" which simply means to have fun. Sanuk is the order of the day or night and everyone is whole-heartily encouraged to participate in the swirling bedlam that epitomizes all things the nightlife scene dually thrusts upon you. If you are brave enough to withstand the sweltering If this is not enough, the constant gridlock of traffic as you try to navigate your way through the crowded streets, may test your stress levels to the very limit all the while you gulp down large quantities of pollution emitted from hundreds of Tuk-Tuks and Taxis. This should infuse a certain need for you to find some extra cleaner oxygen as your breathing starts to become a trifle unbearable at times. Are you having your share of sanuk yet?
Patpong red light district and night market
Bangkok NightlifeNana Plaza is an adult entertainment area located at Sukhumvit Soi 4. Should your hotel not be in the near vicinity as mine was once, then besides taking a Tuk-Tuk ride through the myriad of incessant traffic, the best way to get there would probably be to take the Skytrain to Nana Station. Once there just hop off at Exit 2, which you will find on the side next to the Landmark Hotel. Many locals and tourists alike know this hotel as it is used by bar girls and their customers for both short and long time stay-overs. Although Nana Plaza is only a short distance past the Landmark Hotel to your left on Soi 4, you could easily miss it as the entrance is relatively small. Look out for the Nana Entertainment Plaza neon sign. The entrance to the complex is guarded by a large drinking venue on one side called Big Dogs and stalls selling a variety of nick-knacks that suit all tastes including an assortment of kebabs, refreshing fruits sliced and diced and a selection of deep fried insects. Once inside the Plaza and you have temporary recovered from the shock of how the owners of this venue have crammed so many bars into three levels of utter chaos. The escalator to the right or the stairway to the left will take your on a kaleidoscope of pure sexual fantasy. If it’s just a beer and a chat, it’s probably best to simply stay at ground level, where there are also dancing clubs such as Red Lips, Voodoo and Rainbow 1 and 2.
