Why go VIP
Walk past the queue. Your name is on the list, the bottles are waiting, and you've got the best spot over the crowd.
That's nightlife hosting: the host books the right section for your group, meets you at the club and walks you in. The car waits outside all evening, so nobody hunts for a taxi at 3am.
Your VIP section, bottles on ice, and our host looking after the group until the lights come up.
The club bills the section at its own prices, and its total is confirmed in writing before you go. Pick the city, and Tanner picks the room.
How much is a VIP section?
In Bangkok, a weekend section at a big club runs about ฿10,000 to ฿30,000 for the group. It's a set spend, credited against your bottles and mixers, not an entry fee. The club's service charge and VAT go on top, and Tanner has the bottle prices before the evening.
Weeknights cost less, and prime VVIP on a headline DJ evening is priced for the date. On a big evening, leave a tip for the staff looking after your section.
Ask Tanner for the best section on your date.

Bangkok's best clubs for a VIP section
The big rooms sit in RCA, Silom and Ratchadaphisek, and each club sets its own closing time.
- RCA has the big rooms, including Onyx.
- Sing Sing, the red-lantern club on Sukhumvit, makes a first evening that looks the part.
- Silom's late clubs around Patpong are for the last evening.
See our RCA guide and the Bangkok bachelor weekend.
First time in Bangkok? Start at Onyx.

Illuzion on Bangla Road is Phuket's biggest club, number 9 in DJ Mag's Top 100 Clubs 2026 (checked November 2026).

The rules at the door
The drinking age is 20, says TAT News (checked October 2026), and clubs check passports at the door. Closing time depends on the club's licence, and Tanner has yours before you go.
- Bring the real passport; a photo on your phone isn't enough.
- Wear a collared shirt, smart trousers or dark jeans, and closed shoes.
- On Buddhist holy days, ordinary bars and shops stop selling alcohol; licensed clubs are exempt, but some still close, so the evening is planned around it.
See the nightlife rules. Bring the passport; the rest is handled.
Stay safe, stay together
Three things keep an evening easy: a car that waits outside, one meeting point at closing, and a host who knows the door.
- The car is booked for the whole evening.
- Check the bill line by line, and keep the receipt.
- Licensed close protection is there all evening, if you want it.
- Passports stay in the hotel safe until the club, and nobody rides a scooter after a drink.
Pick the meeting point now, and nobody is left at the door at closing.
