Places to party :
RCA
Very popular among Thai university students, but hardly known among
visitors, Royal City Avenue (RCA) is a massive entertainment area
featuring some of Bangkok's biggest clubs. If you want experience
young Thais partying and letting off steam, this is the place to
go. A multitude of different bars and clubs are scattered along
this road playing anything from R&B, house, techno and
alternative rock, to Thai pop. What's great about RCA is its
variety of its venues' themes and styles, and most places stay open
later than 1am.

Similar to Flix and Slim, the re-vamped Route 66 is divided into

what Bangkok's night crawlers want, it's what you'll hear in both
sides. Reservations recommended.
