Nighttown trades Buakhao’s open-air bustle for something darker, cooler and more enclosed.

The air-conditioned venue occupies the former Boobie Trap Bar, with music, girls and a more enclosed setup than the open-fronted beer bars around it. Cheap early-evening drinks help get things moving, including a long-running 60-baht beer promotion before 7pm, while the atmosphere picks up as Buakhao gets busier after dark.

When the rest of Buakhao starts winding up, Nighttown is already living up to the name.
