Nightlife creators in Thailand

Thai nightlife ranges from rooftop bars to beach clubs and boat parties. The content that lasts shows the place and the atmosphere, and keeps other people's privacy in mind.

What do nightlife creators get in Thailand?

Nightlife creators get hosted venue sessions from the Thailand catalogue, such as a beach-club day or a boat party, alongside hotel nights and private transfers. Drinks beyond any agreed allowance are personal extras, and venue entry rules apply to you as to every other guest.

Which Thai destinations suit nightlife content?

• Pattaya: beach clubs south of the city and a city that runs late
• Phuket: west-coast beach clubs, boat parties and Patong after dark
• Bangkok: rooftop bars, live music and the skyline at blue hour
• Koh Samui: beach bars around Chaweng

Rules worth knowing

• Get consent before featuring identifiable people.
• Carry ID. Venues check age and can refuse entry.
• Thailand has rules on alcohol advertising; avoid content that promotes drinking itself, and check current guidance if alcohol brands appear in shot.
• Alcohol sales are restricted at certain hours and on some religious holidays and election days.
• E-cigarettes are banned in Thailand. Do not bring them, and keep them out of your content.
• Walking Street in Pattaya and Bangla Road in Phuket include adult entertainment; many people there do not want to be filmed.

Which nightlife content angles work?

• The venue as a place: the setting, the music and the crowd
• The night from sunset to close, without close-ups of drinks
• Getting there and back safely, including how late transport works

Content that shows the setting, the music and the crowd tends to travel further than drinks close-ups, and keeps you clear of alcohol-promotion issues.

When is the best time for nightlife content in Thailand?

The best time for nightlife content is the dry season on each coast, when venues are full and the weather is reliable: roughly November to April around Phuket and Pattaya, and the middle of the year around Koh Samui. Bangkok's rooftops work all year, though rainy-season storms can close open-air terraces for the evening. Check the calendar for Buddhist holy days and election days, when alcohol is not sold, before you schedule a shoot. Koh Phangan's full-moon parties are a ferry ride from Samui; travel there is outside the hosted plan unless your itinerary includes it.

How to apply as a nightlife creator

Apply with links to nightlife content you have published. The deliverables page explains disclosure, which applies to a hosted night out exactly as it does to a hosted hotel.
