The night market in Patpong is just spitting distance from the sex shows. Why gaze drunkenly at cheap flesh when you can pick up cheap booty? Clothing, CDs and trinkets, that is.
Take a boat trip along the Chao Phraya River. A cheap and popular activity by day, it’s even prettier at night. And it’ll get you off those congested streets and sidewalks.
Get a massage–a legitimate one. Or a facial, manicure or shave at one of the many after-hours beauty salons. Spoil yourself; it beats hangovers.
If you’re desperately seeking the sauce, head to the Grace Hotel’s coffee shop on Sukhumvit Soi3; it pours beer, wine and mixed drinks until sunrise. And the joint is always hopping. On Patpong Soi2, just off the main go-go street, several discreet establishments still serve booze after 2 a.m. (we’re withholding their names upon request. But we’re sure you can find them.) See, Bangkok doesn’t seem so doomed now, does it?
