7 Must-Read Tips for a Safe Night Out

It’s no secret that many are attracted to Thailand because of its nightlife, which is largely centered around bars.

There are, of course, different types of bar in Thailand, ranging from wine bars and pub-like waterholes down to open-fronted bars teeming with scantily-clad hostesses. But the reality is that a large percentage of male tourists come for the latter – the “lady bar”.

I’ve been here since 2008, and one could say I’ve seen it all, but I probably haven’t; after all, Thailand never ceases to amaze me!
