Samphanthawong Clubs & Bars

Samphanthawong might not ring a bell if you're not familiar with the official district names. However, we think it's hard to find anyone who hasn't heard of Yaowarat, a.k.a. Bangkok's Chinatown. Although it's best known for mouthwatering street food, the area hides all sorts of nightlife hotspots. Now that the MRT Blue Line Extension has officially opened, getting to Chinatown is easier than ever.

Some of the newest stations, like MRT Wat Mangkon, feature a unique and elaborate design. A perfect opportunity to snap some photos before the night's party, we'd say.

Nightclubs or dance venues aren't exactly common in Samphanthawong, but don't let that stop you from exploring other lively hangouts in the area. Look around, and you'll find an array of restaurants, local dives, and chic rooftop bars overlooking the Old Town area. Be sure to also check out all the secret bars, speakeasies, and Chinese-style venues that celebrate Yaowarat's heritage.

Get ready to be dazzled by Samphanthawong's hidden gems. These are the venues you can't miss!
