Bangkok is world-famous for its parties: It offers everything a tourist could want on a night out, including massage parlors, go-go bars, and high-end clubs.
Some of the most famous nightlife districts include Khao San Road, Royal City Avenue, and Nana Plaza, each drawing in different crowds of party-goers, from backpackers to young locals to those seeking sex tourism in one of the city's red-light districts.
"For those who like to party, of course, Bangkok is a great to place to holiday," Puacksumran said. "Bangkok, Phuket, and Samui are all popular for parties," she added.
Puacksumran explained that nightlife in Bangkok tends to be "relatively safer" than other party capitals in the region like Manila, Philippines, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
According to the online database Numbeo, Manila scored 64.72 out of 100 in the 2022 Crime Index, while Kuala Lumpur scored 63.40. In comparison, Bangkok registered a rating of 40.98. The database aggregates surveys to evaluate the crime index of a city.
Having a higher crime index suggests that the city is more dangerous, per the database. Bangkok, Manila, and Kuala Lumpur are regarded by Numbeo as moderately safe cities.
