Will be depend on what you all are looking for by way of entertainment. You can't club all visitors together (was that a clever pun or what).

[Thainess]

Can't recommend anything. For a city of its size, Bangkok truly has a terrible nightlife. Clubs play terrible music and are filled with overweight middle-aged white men and "ladies of the night". Almost any other city in Asia (outside Thailand) has better nightlife.

For a city of its size Bangkok doesn't have a very innovative nightclub scene sadly.

 

If you want to buy a bottle with some mates (not too expensive), listen to EDM and be surrounded by hot freelancers then Insanity on Soi11 is usually a good bet (it's open the latest in the area)

 

If you like more underground house and hip hop then I recommend Beam in Thong Lor (soi 55 I think). This place attracts hiso thais and foreign expats.

This isn't a place to pick up freelancers. Drinks aren't cheap.

Agreed, there are no good hiphop/rap/r&b clubs. There's only two I used to know of a few years ago. I remember RCA in the past always had some sheett foreign DJ's who can't play any decent hiphop song in full and end up mixing it into a new song after playing a it for like 10 seconds or has a terrible remix of a song. The only other option was Sugar which had something ridiculous like a 500 baht entry for some small crappy club. If someone opened up some good hiphop clubs in BKK I'm sure they could rake in the dosh.

They play too much EDM sheett in Thailand. People listening to that crappp must be on drugs to enjoy it.

It's equally bad if you like underground house/techno like I do.

There are 20+ better lineups in London every weekend than the best thing Bangkok usually has on. Glow/Beam occasionally have some good DJs but it's often half empty even for decent headliners.

Maybe I described you, but I'm certainly not overweight, nor do I ever have to pay money for the company of a lady.

if you plan to go out before midnight (say 9pm), i'd recommend billboard in nana plaza or shark, dollhouse, or lighthouse is soi cowboy.  after midnight, insanity as noted by others.  the OP did ask about clubs AND nightlife so i'm offering some of the 'nightlife' options also.  good luck to the OP !!!!

Not to hijack the topic but any opinions about Sing Sing Theater. Good? Bad? I haven't been there but see some decent reviews.

 

Particularly looking for a place to dance. Suggestions welcome.

I think it is called Insanity based on what the girls want you to spend.  I got a room for the night, last month, did cold Heinekens on the terrace from 711.  Met an Italian, Australian, and a Swiss guy.  Italian was already with his date...the rest of us decided we would meet at 22:15 and take a walk.  It was 21:40.  At 21:45, Aussie guy connects with massage lady.  Swiss guy and me head out at 22:15.  Last thing I recall was telling Swiss guy not to stand in the street..didn't want him to get run over.  I didn't make it to the corner (soi 4).  Found a lovely lady from Nong Khai..invited her back to hotel..she ended up not officially leaving until yesterday.  All four of us pulled, none of us went to ripoff bars or nightclubs.   We all agreed that those businesses are there to systematically extract as much money out of you as possible, while offering little in terms of quality or service.  Everyone was happy, except the grouchy bar owners..Soi 4 was like old times.  The big change is that it is more costly to watch the action than to actually participate in it.  You could easily spend 2000 on several beers and a few lady drinks, while listening to old tunes that have been beaten to death around here, and you might even be more sober than when you entered.  Really not sustainable.

Oh my God - NASA Spacedrome has been gone for about 15 years!

Spasso still going.

[UbonThani]

Clubs at Ratchada soi 4 are good. Zaleng etc

[Nyezhov]

My "nightlife" in Bangkok consists of Thermae, Levels, Insanity, Mixx and Spasso, any one or a combo.
