Hi Tom & hello from a fellow Scot
In tems of nighlife and the typ eof music they play here's a rundown from my point of view
Bangla Road: good daytime bars to hangout, decent nightime venue is Kangaroo Bar. Most bars play guitar rock music, hip hop & rythm & blues, you will find sound systems are of a pretty good standard. At the top of bangla, rock hard ago go is ok and rio a good hang out joint to play pool with lots of chicks, couple of other pool halls open, try living room, good pool and lots of lovlies
Soi Easy & Soi Gonzo - soi's on the slide not a lot of quality things happening here, albeit it has just opened a new ago go upstairs at soi easy which look pretty ok at the moment. Music played is pretty much disco/chart orientated
Soi Crocodile: lots of ladyboys at the front bars which makes quite a spectacle, more lady populated bars from the middle to the back. Has a disco at the end of the soi upstair, currently doing 3 bottles of beer for 99 baht, also has a an LB cabaret which is worth a look and can have a good laugh, Music, kinda high energy disco, & house music
Soi Eric: good mainstream bars, lots of chicks, good place to start the evening before moving on to more energetic places, has an ago go at the end of the soi, music not too loud but good house/garage music from the UK
Soi Sea Dragon: Another soi struggling, lots of bars with live music and the main place for ago go's, but pretty poor compared to say bangkok
Soi Lion - small soi a couple of good bars, with some nice chicks, disco / chart music
Soi Tiger - lots of big bars, lots of girls dancing on bars go go style, pretty loud can be wild, music disco / chart, they need to sort the sound system out. Upstairs probably the most popular disco in town
Tanon Rat-u-tit: Disco is the order of the day here, Taipan, a poor mans' tiger disco pretty much average girls with a few stunners thrown in. The owner is centre stage MC'ng run of the mill disco and house music. Baya Beach: lots of hot chicks, high proportion of southern med clientele, good house music, but pretty small. Soi Moodies/Suckomvit, new soi lots of new bars reckon will take some time to develop
Soi Sansabai: couple of late night joints for eating and superstar a very late night place for drinking. Reasonable house music, can be open very late indeed
Outside town: on the edge of patong: Safari disco, when the other placesclose lots of people move on here. usually very busy, large open air area, good prices drink, chart & house music
Hope this brief summary helps
note these are just my views and other peope may not agree with them
