Attention, Party Peeps! 6 Bars, Clubs in Bangkok With No Door Charge

They say that there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but in Bangkok, there are clubs that do not require a door charge.

Door charges are common at nightclubs and bars for several reasons, especially at high-demand venues, including the need to fund overhead expenses, performers compensation, and crowd management control. Those bars that choose not to implement this practice would likely rely on other revenue streams, such as the sales of food and drinks.

Considering Bangkok’s wide array of nightlife spots, here are a few popular bars and clubs that are known for not charging entrance fees.

The club is famous for its hottest male revue “MaGix Show,” featuring masculine and charismatic dancers perfect for singles.
