ONYX BANGKOK
Doors don't open until 10pm and the music runs to 4am, which tells you most of what you need to know about how to plan the evening. Turning up at opening time is a rookie move. This is a late one, on RCA, the strip in Huai Khwang where Bangkok packs most of its big clubs into a single stretch of road.
It sits at the upscale end of the city's drinking scene, and the pricing reflects that. What you're paying for is presentation: a dressed-up crowd, a room that's had money spent on it, a night that feels like an occasion rather than a few beers on a plastic stool. If that's not what you're after, Bangkok has cheaper ways to spend a Friday and I wouldn't try to talk you out of them. But for a birthday, a last night in town, or anything that calls for making an effort, this end of RCA earns its keep. The other advantage is practical: if the room isn't working for you, there are half a dozen alternatives within a short walk.

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars
Carry Your Passport or a Copy
Clubs and some bars check IDs strictly, especially in Bangkok's Thonglor, RCA, and Sukhumvit areas. A photo of your passport info page on your phone usually works, but carrying a laminated photocopy is safer.
Know the Closing Times
Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.
Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously
Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.
