What Is Bangkok Punters?
An independent, reader-funded guide to Thailand's nightlife and travel for adult men: city guides, establishment reviews, prices, safety and the practicalities, written from visits on the ground.
Updated
The site covers Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai and the other cities in the Travel Guides, with Interactive Maps of each city's nightlife areas, a glossary of Thai and nightlife terms and a free trip planner. It's for readers aged 18 and over.
Free and Members-Only
Public guides, city and area guides, establishment pages and the glossary are free to read, with or without an account. Members-only reviews, live prices, each establishment's hours, the full Interactive Maps and the Contact Directory need VIP. See What can I read without paying?.
How Reviews Are Made
Writers visit in person and pay their own bill, and no establishment can pay for a review or a better score. How we work is on the About page.
