I'm in the mood for partying at the moment. Can you guys recommend a place to go where I'll be doing the dancing and not some go-go boy?

Getting out was quite a task. I literally had to push and squeeze my way out as I got closer to the door. The higher you go up the less crowded it is. Entry cost even included two drinks tickets. I would get there before midnight if you can.

I also wouldn't be holding out much hope for a Monday or Tuesday night opening. You're hoping to get laid or merely to socialize?

The Westin/Sheraton Sukhumvit are a ways down Sukhumvit: great access to SkyTrain but kinda remote. The Conrad is tucked into the Embassy District around Wireless road, a bit of a walk from the Chit Lom SkyTrain station but still very centrally located, just not on top of the Silom Rd. area. The Banyan Tree is very close to Babylon, but otherwise, situated over on Sathorn Road, a hike from the SkyTrain. The Royal Orchid Sheraton and the Shangri-La are on the Riverside, with the Shangri-La right next to the Saphan Thaksin SkyTrain station but the Sheraton a decent boat ride upriver; being on the river, though, is convenient access to tourist sites like the Grand Palace, Chinatown, Temple of Dawn. Don't know about the Evergreen Laurel or Le Meridien, but I think the latter is quite close to the Silom Road area, the entertainment district with the gay clubs/bars.

There's just one thing: the comments in this thread were for last December. But it's all right. I'll be back in Bangkok this coming December too. I'm sure plenty of GGG FT'ers will be too. Popular destination.

Any suggestion on which we (25 yr old lawyers) would be more happy with for touring, suit making, resturants/bars/clubs?

When I was in BKK 2 months ago, there was a club that opened only from 2 to 4 on weekends on Silom Soi 6. I'll check if it's still there when I arrive in BKK in a couple of days.
