RCA or Royal City Avenue Bangkok. Royal City Avenue (or RCA
as it is commonly known) is one of the largest entertainment areas in Bangkok, indeed far
larger than the better know Nana and Soi Cowboy zones. However as
far as visitors and tourists are concerned it is probably the least known. RCA is a
long road full of various types of bar and clubs. It is very much a Thai scene, hence
why it is little known to tourists. The clientelle are predominantly young, middle class
Thais, mainly university students.
What is good about RCA is the sheer range of places to eat and drink and
the variety of themes in the clubs and restaurants. As it caters mainly for the youth element it is
not overproced. RCA is a complete block of bars and clubs with the flashiest
lights and the hippest music. It is also home to Bangkok's two largest lesbian venues, Zeta and
e-Fun.
The new MRT connections have made RCA more accessible and as a result is now
starting to be discovered by tourists, especially younger travellers and backpackers who would
historically be found on Khao San Road.
