Patpong
o After on Patpong 2 – Reopened and is now called The Lift. Same bar, same music, and starting to get the same following. Great After Hours place especially after coming from Funky Dojo’s right around the corner.
o King’s Lounge (more info:
http://www.bigmangobar.com/new-after-hours-club-in-patpong/). I enjoy the music here but that’s about it. It’s heavy House/Drums and they even have a guy banging on drums in a cage. However, the crowd is really lame. It’s an older Thai crowd with a few Patpong FLs, a few Farang, and a few Ladyboys. They also keep the Pool Table open which kills the club atmosphere. 200/baht entry and you get a free drink.
o Patpong II. Many of the beer bars stay open all night.
o Silom Soi 6 (Xboom and the place two doors down on the 4th floor) – XBoom (it may have a different name now) is as gay as gay gets. If you’re gay and want to go late this is the place. There is a place a few doors down, don’t know the name, but you will see the door people outside asking you to come in. It also goes very late and is mostly gay but also has ladies about. Very Thai scene.

Pratunaam
o Boss by Big C – Newly renovated but sucks. The crowd is mostly guys and the music very loud.
o Lucky off Phetchaburi – Small, Crazy FL disco closes post-sunrise. Almost never gets shut down.

Siam/MBK
o Spicy on Ron Muan Soi 1 – Still going strong and consistently late. Weekend nights are horribly crowded and mostly guys though. Cigarettes are still 200/baht a pack and the music is lame hip hop but the FL scene is the best.

Sukhumvit
o Nana Disco and Nana Disco lounge in Nana Hotel on Suk Soi 4. Nana Disco is legendary. This FL disco goes until about 2:30 and is loaded with FLs. The lounge area outside the Disco goes until 4 or 5. Great for watching the “walk of shame” at 2:30 when the disco closes. You can also watch late night sports at the bar.
o Pennyblack on Soi Cowboy – Used to be huge but now even more run down with mostly a Thai Pool scene
o Rooftop Garden Bar on Sukhumvit Soi 5 above Foodland. Goes late and nice place to watch the late games since they have the South African Sattv. Not much of a pickup scene though. Has three pool tables.
o Sanook Bar in the Tunnel betw Suk Soi 5 and 7 – Pool tables run late but not much of a scene.
o Sin Club on Suk Soi 4. Still open but inconsistent and a real dead zone as of late.
o Sip Saen (aka Dio).
(more info. here and here, search for Dio). This small After Hours disco caters to everyone and everything. Many Soi Cowboy and Nana girls that work at the Owner’s bar come here after hours. See posts for directions.
o Soda Club Suk Soi 5 (above Foodland) – Same owners Boss/Spicy but still no life.
o Spice on Suk Soi 11 – Leader of the After Hours pack. Going very strong and consistently late. The crowd is kind of lame though. Many guys and mostly lower Suk working girls.
o Suk Soi 11 Hip Hop Club 3rd Floor – Crack Den closes post-sunrise.
o Sukhumvit Rd – The erect-a-bar’s between Suk Soi 4 and 23 go all night and offer it all.
o Tunnel on Lang Suan Soi 5 – Hottest scene when it’s open but was closed twice at 3am last week. It’s just too inconsistent.
o Windsor Hotel on Suk Soi 20 – Huge and packed. Mostly Thai After Hours Club Scene. Not many FLs
Other
o Eclipse and Renovate,
see here for more info.

Also, there is a new After Hours club on Phetchaburi by Phet 45 called Dio. If you are going down Asok from Sukhumvit make a left on Phetchaburi and then it’s your first quick left. It’s a dingy looking club but has some life inside. You walk through the lounge downstairs and go upstairs to the disco. It’s rather small but the music is pumping HipHop and it’s quite the scene.

It reminds me of Pennyblack After Hours a few years ago. Similar to Pennyblack the owner also owns a bunch of GoGo’s and Beer Bars so many of the girls there are from the owner’s bars. In this case Playskool Pete’s wife is running the joint. PP and wife own/partly-own Suzie Wong’s, Sheeba’s, Apache, Playskool, Lucky Luke’s, etc. etc. The girls are there to party more than work and come for another reason which I mention below.

Went there Friday night and it was quite the experience. A friend told me about an After Hours club about a week ago that the working girls went to and barfine young thai guys. Well, Dio is that place. I couldn’t believe it but there were young Thai guys dancing on various podiums in the bar and the girls were going gaga and I even saw a few of them tip the young Boy Coyotes.

I think though that this bar is in transition from catering to working girls into what Pennyblack once was, an After Hours club that Soi Cowboy working girls can go to afterwards to party and possibly get some biz. PP’s wife was there Friday night and said they will be alternating Men and Women Coyote dancers on different nights.

Not sure what this club will become but it is fun as heck right now. We got a bottle and had a blast. Every After Hours demographic was represented. Men, Women, Ladyboy, Gay, Straight, Bi, Thai, Farang, Working, Not-Working. It was all there for whatever you were looking for.

Other specs…There was no entrance fee, the bottle of Jack with mixers was 2500 baht, and we left around 6am.
