The Hangover Pub Crawl
Who doesn’t want to party like the boys from “Hangover”? Inspired by the famous movie, the hangover pub crawl perfectly mimics the crazy experience of Hangover 2. You’re taken on a wild ride into some of Bangkok’s finest bars and clubs, including those which featured in the movie. The tour ends with a free Mike Tyson face tattoo, which, of course, is optional.
Shop till you Drop at the Sukhumvit Night Street Market
A great place to buy unique souvenirs (read: cheap) for your friends and family back home, the Sukhumvit market opens around 5 everyday, with the selling going on till midnight. You’ll find vendors selling all sorts of goods ranging from fake Gucci handbags to copied DVDs. The opposite side of the street is dotted with local Thai restaurants, massage parlors and road-side bars where you can chill after a long night of shopping. The vendors have a reputation for overcharging tourists, so start practicing your bargaining skills if you don’t want to get ripped off.
The street is always buzzing with activity, and offers a unique in-sight of Thailand’s local culture.
Phi Phi - The Party Island
The go-to place for young party heads, the Phi Phi Island comes to life after sunset, with full moon dance parties, live fire shows, Thai boxing, and tons of local cocktails. An ultimate hedonist’s paradise, you’ll come across fetish clubs, bars with boxing rings, on-boat dance floors, live music and hula-hoop contests. If you wish to escape the crowd, you can find many isolated spots on the island, and drink the night away in solitude.
