As a city which never sleeps, Bangkok fits well in entertainment.  It's a party city.  Entertainment is a big business, some housed in huge complexes (e.g. cinemas, massage parlors, theaters, etc.)  Most Bangkok people enjoy a night out on Fridays and weekends.  While entertainment is a big business here, it is also very volatile specifically for pubs and bars.  Many boomed and became the "Talk of town" in just overnight but then lasted only a year or two.  The ones I have listed below are the experts in the entertainment business.  They have been around for decades and some even since the Vietnam War. 

Along with entertainment, Bangkok also has several places for your recreation.  Most of these are classic attractions like Wat Po, Lumpini park, and Lumpini Muaythai stadium.  I have listed below the selected attractions where Bangkok people go for entertainment and recreation. 

Note: 
1. Pubs and bars are closed on religious holidays and the election days.  
2. Alcohol are forbidden for sale on the Buddhist Lent and Asalaha Bucha days (around the end of July) and the night before any election day.
