The 3 times I arrived in Bangkok was at 1.00am and just walked up Sukhumvit and picked up a freelancer. Starting to think my luck will rung out so was wondering are there any bars that might be open at this time. Could soi33 be still going then?

Soi 33 ? Mega priced drinks (Cowboy is now Bt130/140 !) and ridiculous multi thousand barfines for girls who may put out or may not. Avoid.

Go to the bar in the Nana, usually got a late drink there when the bars were closed. Not the disco, just the bar.

it's open on the likes of election days when all the other bars are closed too

I hope that Bangkok eases up before I get there because I cannot be told to go home at 1am by the gestapo.
