I'm looking for a great night out - recommendations please

[chappie1207]

Looking for recommendations:

I know there are thousands of great places in Bangkok to take my girlfriend for a night out, and that's the problem...Just too many!!

I want to try something different than the usual meal, drink, movie.

What's your favourite place to take your girlfriend / wife?

Thanks

[MrWorldwide]

Thermae, er, Tawan Daeng !

(I know it's a cliche, but I guarantee that she will like the latter a hell of a lot more than the former)

I like to take my girls to a nice club, but I also end up coming home alone......

[Hedghog]

Change the venue.

The Maldives is a nice alternative.

Chappie,

My personal opinion is that it really doesn't matter where you take your girlfriend ....it's the just being with her that's important...listen to her, pay her attention, make it her night out and that will make it special for her no matter where you go.

With that being said.....have to eat so....so have dinner at Nahm (one of the top 50 restaurants in the WORLD....in the metropolitan hotel), either before or after go to one of the "skybars" for a cocktail (Lebua, Centara, Vertigo at Banyon etc...http://www.bangkok.com/top10-rooftop-bars.htm)....and to end the evening go listen to some jazz (http://www.bangkok.com/top10-jazz-bars.htm)....

That's what I would do .....and have done for a GREAT night out.

You could always add Bowling into the mix, good fun and something different.

[andyphuket]

You can always take her ice skating.

Go to Asiatique for dinner and then Sirocco Sky Bar for drinks in a spectacular setting. You and she will enjoy.

Hachiban Ramen.

Take her to somewhere she will really like-----When questioned 8 out of 10 Thai girls thought the ATM would be a suitable place to start a romantic night out.....

[asdecas]

You could catch the late duck-plucking show in Yaowaraj on the way home; just right to get her 'in the mood'.

Dinner on a Chao Phraya evening river cruise.

I like the restaurant on the tallest building in Bangkok, the Baiyoke Tower II. Ihas a revolving outside deck, the view is stunning, and surprisingly not expensive, all things considered. Nearby is :

Pratunum Market (0.5 Km)

Panthip Plaza IT Mall (0.5 Km)

Platinum Fashion Mall (0.5Km)

Central World (1.0 Km)

The "Saxaphone Club" @ Victory monument would have to be the best (and safest) place in Bangkok!

Unfortunately.....

"I want to try something different than the usual meal, drink, movie."

.... this is all there is to do in Bangkok really.

Oh, and shopping in shopping malls.

[Ulic]

Nothing wrong with the dinner, drinks, movie. Just don't ask her or it may be the Gold Shop, Shoe Shopping, Karaoke.

[onemore]

I agree with sport and the river cruise thing, I took my girlfriend on one twice, worked both times.

Eat at the Basil in the Sheraton Grande Sukhumvit and then head to the Living Room , adjacent to it , afterwards for drinks and maybe some jazz. Randy Cannon's pretty good, he's usually playing. Then walk across the sky train walkway that leads out of the hotel and come down by the corner of Asoke and Sukhumvit. You're then close to the entrance to Soi Cowboy. Take a stroll through there just for the visual extravaganza that it is. From there, grab a taxi and head to the bar at the Grand Erawan. It's somewhere down near Chit Lom. The possibilities are endless.

There has been no mention of budget...

A possible cheap night out would be a visit to KaoSan Road, lots to do there and the locals all seem to go for it in a big way

To get there, maybe take a trip on the ferry from Saphan Thaksin BTS.

Must question your stats, I think it's 10 out of 10

[Bpuumike]

Check Inn 99 just past Suk Soi 5 on the way to Soi 7.

Everything you can want.

[ttthailand]

Go see 4D movie at Siam Paragon or Major Ratchayothin. Good fun as seats move and has water, air, and other effects. Can also see IMAX, big screen and many movies in 3D.

See the Siam Niramit cultural show. Buffet dinner offered on site prior to show.

Chappie1207, you didn't specify a budget or the type of places you and the girlfriend like going to normally.

Everyone seems to be assuming the GF is Thai, which I guess is understandable, but not a given.

Is this a long term GF or a recent conquest? What social class is she from (assuming Thai, although applies to non Thais too... I wouldn't take some working class bird somewhere that she wouldn't fit in)

Are you young and energetic (or at least young at heart) or are you older and boring (ie if you go to a club do you actually go to dance or just stand around) ?

Do you want to be out all night or just a couple of hours?

Personally, whilst there are some ok suggestions from other people, none of them are what I'd consider for a night out... But then I'm younger and the thought of a river cruise bores me to tears.

I'd recommend Above 11 on a Wednesday - Ladies night and Salsa Night - http://www.aboveeleven.com Great food, great views and stylish people. If you can Salsa then double bonus....

If you want to go on post drinks and dinner then head into Silom and check out Maggie Choo's for a relaxed cool venue.

Have fun!

I always thought the River dinner cruises were pretty romantic.

Riverside Hotel runs one that is frequented by Thais and not tooooooo expensive, but make sure you sit up top, as the disco in the cabin can be quite loud.
