Thailand After Dark — Beyond Bars.
Night safaris, illuminated parks, river cruises, markets, light shows and attractions that only really make sense once the sun goes down.
Know what kind of night you want.
Not every evening needs to be nightlife. Thailand has a strong range of family-friendly and sightseeing-led night attractions, especially in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya. Many are easier to enjoy once the heat drops, but transport home matters more late at night.

Check last admission
Sky decks, river attractions and night parks may stop entry well before closing time.
Time sunset properly
For viewpoints and river experiences, arrive early enough to catch daylight, sunset and city lights.
Keep the route compact
Night markets, shows and viewpoints are better grouped by district than stitched across a city.
