Welcoming all from distant lands or nearby sois, Bangkok’s party scene is always thriving and surviving, with everything from pop-anthem worship and degenerate underground beat-stomps to bawdy meat markets. Things have been a little quiet in the post-coup law-and-order climate, but there’s still fun to be found.
