Club 808 |
 |
Though Thailand is in many ways a budget traveler’s dream, when it comes to nightlife, Thai prices are comparable to those in the West. A fun night out, especially for travelers in Bangkok, can come with a price tag of astronomical proportions; even if you’re not splurging on the fanciest bars and clubs, the covers (usually 200-400?) and drinks (120+ for beer, 180+ for mixed drinks) will add up. But nightlife in Bangkokis a sight unto itself and one that can’t be missed. You’ll rarely see a meeting of East and West as palpable as dancing to the latest American hip hop hits with hundreds of young Thais. So, if you’re looking for a way to party as if the exchange rate was a lot more favorable, make your way to Bangkok's Club 808 on a Friday night, when you can’t spend more than 500?—the price of the cover to Open Bar Night. The club will be understandably packed, but the bartenders work quickly and the resident DJ spins great music to keep the crowd moving. Your liver might not thank you, but your bank account certainly will.
(808, Block C, RCA. www.808bangkok.com. Open 9pm-2am.)
