Nightlife in Sathon

There isn’t as much nightlife in Sathon as in other districts. However, its central location makes it an ideal spot for getting to other neighbourhoods quickly, especially with a Sathon car rental. 

The atmosphere in Sathon is busy during the day because it is one of the central business districts. Once the sun goes down, the streets and alleys are much more tranquil.

Evenings in Sathon

Lively during the day and quiet at night is the vibe for Sathon. There’s nightlife in the area, but it certainly isn’t a nightclub or disco district. Because it caters primarily to office workers, the dining and cocktail bar options in Sathon tend to be more upscale. 

Most of the restaurants and bars are found along Sathon Road on the northern border of the neighbourhood. This is also where several embassies and business towers are located. After office hours, it’s not uncommon to hear five or six different languages as the embassy employees head out for an after-work cocktail. 

Easy Access to Surrounding Nightlife Neighbourhoods

There are pros and cons of Sathon. Overall, it’s a fantastic place to stay because every neighbourhood that borders it offers a different flavour of nightlife. You can head out for a night on the town and then return to a quiet hotel to get some rest. 

Here are some of the neighbourhoods near Sathon where you can have a night on the town:

Riverside

The revitalised Riverside district provides some of the most diverse dining and nightlife options on this side of the city. Enjoy a waterside cocktail and watch the boats pass by, silhouetted against the city lights. 

For those who want more, dinner cruises along the river can be booked for a single meal or the entire evening. The ships sail up and down the river, providing a glimpse of Bangkok rarely seen.

Silom

This district, just to the north of Sathon, has everything you could want for nightlife. It’s home to a plethora of restaurants, from chains to fine dining. There are night markets, bars, clubs, and more. It’s also home to an array of late-night street food and two shopping malls that stay open late.

Chinatown

For foodies who like to take it to the max, Chinatown offers wild eats at affordable prices. Try fresh, grilled everything at street-side restaurants and hole-in-the-wall cafes, then find something sweet sold by a Thai auntie and wash it down with a cup of Thai tea. Chinatown is also the neon district of Bangkok, so keep your camera ready for some great shots. 

Lumphini

This is central Bangkok’s other business and embassy district. Much like Sathon, it’s quiet at night. Still, the stunning Lumphini park makes for a beautiful evening walk. If you keep heading north, you’ll hit the nightlife mecca of Sukhumvit. 

Sukhumvit

This is the central tourist district of Bangkok, and it’s all about shopping and nightlife. There are four gigantic shopping complexes along Rama IX road, which runs through the heart of the district. Each one has cinemas, eateries, and diverse shops. 

Out on the town, expect pop-up markets to appear along the streets every evening. It’s also common to see four-star restaurants side by side with cheap local eats, combining to provide an array of international food. After dinner, head to a trendy hotel rooftop bar and have an evening to remember.
