The
main gay scence is at Silom Soi 2. with near area-Suriwong
and Patpong. with Silom Soi 2 being the main focus for the
dance crowd and Silom Soi 4 popular with the more relaxed
bar crowd. Soi 4 also has many other non-gay music bars, but
its atmosphere is very friendly. The commercial go-go bars
are more concentrated in Patpong and Suriwong. Most of the
gay go-go bars feature as sexy as go-go dancing.
There
are also bars, commercial venues and saunas along Sukhumvit
and in other areas, and the Saphan Kwai area has many commercial
venues that are more popular with local Thais. Most of the
commercial bars in these areas are lounge/host bars, often
with karaoke, but some also have go-go and even shows. These
areas tend to be quiter and the bars smaller, but many people
consider these bars make a nice change from the high-pressure
commercial scene around Patpong and Suriwong, but others consider
them a bit too quiet - check it out for yourself and decide.
