MENZZOO FINAL THOUGHTS
Bangkok is packed with lots of Go-Go bars, filled with everything from bright and vibrant neon lit spots to dark and mysterious venues that are probably best avoided if you're in Bangkok for the first time. The bars to go to are scattered around 3 main ‘red-light district areas’ – Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza and Patpong. As you enter inside, you can expect to witness dim lights, attractive girls dancing provocatively at every corner and buzzing music. Nightlife doesn't come much better than in Bangkok!
