Shopping, cinemas, bowling, karaoke, some live entertainment and that's about it. Siam doesn't offer much in the way of nightlife. However, there are a few pubs, clubs and bars scattered around, most catering to young fashionable locals. Siam Square has a Hard Rock Cafe that is recommended for live music. Busy every night, nightclub complex Concept CM2, beneath the Novotel Hotel on Siam Square, is worth a visit if you're looking for a boogie. There's a great live band playing every night, International DJ's playing from time to time, and a popular hip-hop room.

Drinking

When not shopping feverishly, Siam's crowds have bars like Siam@ Siam Square and Hard Rock Café to seek refuge and refreshment in. Just a few minutes walk from the Siam BTS station, the Hard Rock Cafe Bangkok has all-day music video streamed directly from the States; from cutting-edge classics to modern-day alternative repertoires fill the air in an inspiring setting packed full of Rock 'n' Roll memorabilia. Live band every night until 01:00.

Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square's newest addition has been crafted to appeal to the post-work cocktail crowd, or those looking for traditional pub-style entertainment. 

Clubbing

Siam and Ploenchit may not be a clubbers hotspot, but doesn't make the clubs it does have any less essential. With no other clubs nearby it's a venture rife with risk - Club Culture can succeed only on its own merits. Fortunately, being housed in a traditional Thai building (formerly a restaurant / theatre) complete with original fittings, mean these are considerable. For starters, there's the gabled and intricately carved teak-wood entrance – a dramatic opener that continues with the ornate panelling of the foyer, right through to the motifs of the spacious, low-slung main room.
