Has camera phones ended crazy Bangkok nightlife? Where is it now?
One thing that made me sad how… I was back in Bangkok last winter for 3 months and it was great to be back again after almost 10 years, Bangkok is the best city in the world, one of the best at least.
One thing that made me sad however, was that the nightlife that I remember was gone.
The small girlie bars on the street where gone. That was the saddest probably. Where else in the world could you sit down, have fun and flirt, while drinking a bear on the street, in total safety? People never realize what they have until it's gone.
Then there was Insanity and Climax, both closed. Soi 11 no longer has Cheap Charlies, Bed or Qbar, instead the cheapest and saddest beer bars of Pattaya.
Yeah, I'm talking about the naughty nightlife of Bangkok mostly. That crazy, fun nightlife, if you went home alone or with someone, didn't matter.
Where is it? Why is it shut down?
I have a theory: It's the camera phones. It's all the fucking youtubers. It's being filmed, put on blast, no longer can you be drunk out of your mind and have fun. You'll end up on someones youtube.
We're living in a voyeur time.
best som tam in Bangkok? Krua Dok Mai Kao 2026
yeah Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but if you're up for a detour, try Som Tum Nua near Siam Square. their som tam pu pla ra is insane if you like the fermented fish sauce kick. way more pungent than the On Nut spot, just less grilled chicken options
