Bangkok nightlife – Bed Supperclub, Q Bar, sports pubs & drinking

Bangkok’s reputation as one of the world’s most hedonistic and decadent cities didn’t come by accident – Bangkok has earned it. Even though changes to law regarding nightlife now mean that all places have to close by 2am, the nightlife scene here pumps like crazy seven nights a week. The days of ping pong shows and escort bars may not be as prevalent as they were, and in their place are countless cutting edge clubs that easily hold their own with clubs in Amsterdam, London or New York.

Polokwane pubs & bars – Pietersburg nightlife
