hey whats up peolpe, was wondering if anybody knew where the hot spots were in the city of angels, Im looking for salsa/merengue/cumbia type bars in bangkok of the lather, and where do peolpe go for hip-hop? just throw any general ideas out to me so I know where to go, so far Ive been to RCA,ratchada,kao sarn for hip hop, and La rueda for salsa by pat-pong but I had to pass several "Gay" bars to get there lol, any suggestions would be appreaciated since I like going out on ocassion, thanks again peeps.^^

Being a fellow hip hop fan, it's hard to find anything aside from the top 10 here. I stopped going to clubs long ago (I'm only 25 btw.) just got earsplittingly annoying.

Ratchada soi 4 used to be good, sadly that is no more.

So to sum it up, I have no real advice. Sorry

Scratch Dog, Basement of the Windsor Hotel on Sukhumvit soi 20. Goes till 5 or 6 but don't expect too many of the latest joints. Thai DJs can be unbelievably lazy but don't blame them - they just stick to what they know works on an audience whose only exposure to hip-hop comes from the ultra-commercial drivel shown on MTV Thailand.

Scratch Dog suk soi 20 and Narz suk soi 23 are the after hour clubs...playing hip-hop ...always the same tunes... and I'm always there. I always do not know why.
