Midnight Asia: Eat · Dance · Dream is a docuseries on Netflix that takes viewers into the lives of Asia’s nightlife people. With its diverse and vibrant nightlife, it’s no surprise that Bangkok was selected as one of the 6 prominent Asian cities to feature in the series.
Bangkok’s many charms have attracted people from around the world for decades, and it’s no wonder that the city is ranked as the top Tourist Destination for foreign tourists. While its food, culture, and beautiful architecture are popular attractions for visitors, it is often Bangkok’s bustling and sleepless nights that live longest in memory.
If you visit Bangkok and want to experience the nightlife, don’t miss these three famous districts where foreign travelers gather after sunset.
