Paint the Town Red: Dance Clubs & Sky Bars

Sometimes the stars align and fate says you are exactly where you are meant to be. Bangkok's roof top bars are among the best in the world. Looking forward to making it to QBar, Nest, and Long Table, a few of the best restaurants and sky bars in the city. The view from Vertigo is breathtaking and romantic, a perfect way to start the evening.

Some nights are just for dancing! Recently at Bed Supper Club Bangkok, the effect of image, sound, space and a good cocktail got me in the perfect mood.

A capsule-shaped building at the end of Sukhumvit Soi 11 (near Nana BTS station), Bed has a white minimalist interior with glowing, hot-pink illumination.

I didn't know it at the time, but the upscale club/restaurant is also an art gallery and theatre.
Somehow I slipped in without an ID but my advice is to always bring one.

On our arrival the first dance floor resounded with house music, the techno-musings of cool d.j. Josh E. and a cutie Thai drummer. A chill second floor loft above was occupied by guests lounging in beds after a late dinner.

We skipped over to the second room to hear Latin, hip hop, and Asian fusion. Alleesha and I promptly took post on the center stage beside the six foot models surrounding us. Feeling like dwarves we attempted to show them up with our dance moves, if such a thing is possible.

After Bed headed to club DJ, where the music videos are better and there are fun pop and rap mixes with lyrics so you can almost always join in the sing-a-long. Shakin' to songs by Enrique Iglesias, Britney Spears, and the rest of the best, I never felt so much love from fellow dancers before. This gay night club got my endorphins going like a gym workout and raised my standards for the % alcohol other clubs should be putting in their drinks!

Thailand is world-famous for its lady boy clubs. Another evening at the touristy Nana Plaza, we visited for the full experience and saw some of the most beautiful lady-boys, or "kathoey," I have ever seen. The infamous Soi Cowboy is not far from there.
