Sanook Pub  VERY late night disco pub on the outskirts of Patong. It’s very close to the Sofa Pub. This place is certainly gay friendly. It’s so popular with the Thais that if you suggest going there, the bar will be closed in milli-seconds and the boys ready to come with you. Starts very late, and ends very late. Good place to visit if you’re a real night owl and love discos.

Sawana Bar  Soi Suntorn Rawai  Great new bar, good drinks, great prices. In a friendly Thai atmosphere.

Sofa Pub  Patong Sai 3   Very smart VERY late night disco on the outskirts of Patong. Although not specifically gay, it’s extremely gay friendly and it’s where all the Thai boys want to go when the bars in Patong close. As with all Thai late night discos, this is one best visited with a Thai boy (or better still a whole bunch of Thai boys) in tow…
