RCA, an amazing nightlife BKK

Royal City Avenue (or just RCA as it is known by locals) is one of the biggest entertainment areas in Bangkok. RCA is a long road hosting a multitude of different types of bar and clubs. Very much a Thai scene, RCA is frequented by Bangkok’s young scene, mainly university students letting off steam. The foreigners are appeared mostly are a group of living in Bangkok. The variety of music depends on which place you visit. Multi-million watt sound systems blast out Thai disco, R&B, the usual American / Brit pop and deep house. It is more often finding itself on the tourist map. Be warned, if you are over 30, you’ll feel old! Great place to visit if you are young and in Bangkok for an extended period, otherwise it’s probably not going to be a high priority against some of the more central entertainment areas. Only a few of the clubs on RCA have entrance fees and they will have a special rate when there are special events or special guests. This area is a designated ‘Entertainment Zone’ but the 01:00 curfew applies here like everywhere else. The quickest way to RCA is by MRT or BTS and a quick taxi ride the rest of the way. The nearest MRT is Pharam 9 station, and the nearest BTS Asok or Phrom Phong. From any of these stations the taxi fare should be no more than 50-60 Baht depending on traffic.
