Soi Cowboy

Soi Cowboy is a single 150-metre lane between Sukhumvit Soi 21 and Soi 23, lit end to end in neon. It is the easiest nightlife zone in Bangkok for a first-timer: compact, relaxed, and two minutes from Asok BTS / Sukhumvit MRT.

What to expect

Around 40 gogo bars line both sides of the soi. Beers start around ฿170–200, lady drinks ฿200–300. Sit outside with a beer first and watch the strip — half the fun is the people-watching.
