Silom
Soi 4 is among Bangkok's hottest nightspots, with several
bars, discos and restaurants crammed into the 100-meter long
lane. Although definitely a 'gay' area, couples and women
will not feel uncomfortable in the crowded bars along this
strip.
Gay's
Lifestyle in Bangkok
Thai
Gay's lifestyle has 6 types that classified by
interests, opinions and activities. They are:
1.Homey-love inhousing hobbies
2.Night Going-love nightlife
3.Obviously-love over dressing
4.Trendy-independent personality
5.Conservative-be careful himself
6.Healthy-love healthful things
The
soi is also the center for the city's club scene and attracts
a dedicated crowd of trendy 'in' people. Many of the bars
and discos specialize in underground sounds straight from
the clubs of London and New York.
Telephone,
Sphinx and the Balcony are the hottest venues right now. Also
popular are the Icon Club and Pharaoh's. Nearby Soi 2 is generally
'more gay' while nearby Patpong and Thaniya cater to hetero
men only (Thaniya attracting a predominantly Japanese clientele).
Narrow
Soi 4 is easily missed unless you are looking for it. The
soi is directly opposite Convent Road and right below the
Saladaeng BTS Station on Silom.
