Sathorn
Overview
Bangkok's main business district might strike visitors as a jumble of concrete and steel, but its gleaming high-rises hide some of the city's best places to eat. After its office workers have clocked out, Sathorn transforms into a lively nightlife hub with bars and restaurants doling out award-winning cocktails and dishes.

Charoenkrung
Overview
Built as Bangkok's first paved road in the late 19th century, Charoenkrung Road and its surrounding streets were once a bastion for European ambassadors and other dignitaries. Today, it’s a great spot for ogling the century-old European-Thai architecture that still lines the road. The district is home to forward-thinking chefs and art curators who have turned the crumbling godowns in its labyrinthine alleys into some of the city's hippest hangouts.

Thong Lor
Overview
Trendy Thong Lor, in the heart of downtown, gathers Bangkok's greatest concentration of drinking and dining venues — from Japanese izakayas to Michelin-starred Thai meals. Café-hop between some of the city's best specialty coffee shops during the day and hit up the district's thumping clubs and cutting-edge bars long after the sun has set.

Nightlife, Dining
Chinatown
Overview
Crisscrossed by rushing tuk-tuks and studded with golden spires and colorful shrines, Chinatown is Bangkok at its most frenetic. Weave your way past curbside markets selling fruits and spices, then cool down with an iced coffee in one of the many cafés. Come nighttime, the main drag turns into a neon-lit buffet where you can sample fiery curries, Chinese sweets, and steaming bowls of Nai Ek's peppery roll noodles.
