You’ll dive straight into Bangkok’s wildest techno & psy trance scene with live DJs, neon-lit dance floors, and an actual pool party vibe. Meet locals, try new drinks (and maybe butcher some Thai), then cool off by the water while the music keeps going. Expect sweaty dancing, laughter, and that feeling you only get when everyone’s there for the same reason.
The first thing I noticed was the bass — not just heard but felt, like it was in my chest before I even made it through the doors at SUBWERK Club. There’s this blue neon glow that hits your face as you walk in, and for a second I thought maybe I’d stepped into someone’s dream. The crowd was already moving, all kinds of people — locals, expats, a few tourists like me — and everyone seemed to know exactly when to cheer as the beat dropped.
I met Li at the bar (she works with the Rave Times crew), and she pointed out which DJs were spinning hard techno versus melodic stuff. Honestly, I couldn’t always tell the difference but nobody seemed to care — it was more about losing yourself in the sound. At one point someone handed me a drink with a slice of lime that tasted way fresher than I expected from a club. The air smelled like sweat and something sweet, maybe incense? Hard to pin down but it mixed with the smoke machines in a weirdly good way.
We ended up outside by the pool for a bit — yeah, there’s actually a pool party going on while the music keeps thumping inside. People dipped their feet or just sat along the edge talking about their favorite sets from last month. It wasn’t fancy or anything; someone had left flip-flops behind and nobody cared if you danced in wet clothes. I tried saying “cheers” in Thai (Li laughed at my accent) and we watched some guy do this slow-motion backflip into the water. That moment sticks with me — just pure joy, no pretense.
If you’re looking for techno events in Bangkok that feel real — not staged for Instagram or whatever — this is it. The night kind of blurs together after that; all I remember is walking out with tired legs and ringing ears, thinking I’d probably come back next Friday just to see who else shows up.
