Bangkok turns loud after 10pm. If you want techno and psy trance with real community energy, Rave Times is the kind of event Bangkok does well, twice a week (Friday and Saturday). You’re buying into a big local scene that leans hard on electronic music, including industrial/hard techno and peak-time melodic sounds.

I really like two things about this experience. First, the event’s focus is clear: hard and industrial techno, plus melodic/peak-time techno and progressive/psy trance. Second, the ticket includes admission to a techno/psy pool-party style night, so you can plan your budget without guessing what the entry cost is.

One thing to consider: the vibe depends on the specific style advertised that night. A couple of unhappy comments centered on expectations not matching what was promoted, including complaints about a smaller setup than some people pictured. If you’re aiming for a big, multi-room festival feel, read the music style line closely before you go.

Key things I’d plan around

• Hard techno and psy trance focus (not a mixed-genre night)
• Friday and Saturday weekly rhythm for regular weekend plans
• Pool-party style admission included in your ticket
• Mobile ticket you can keep on your phone
• Weather can affect it, since it’s a pool-party format
• Alcohol is not included, so bring a realistic drink budget

Price and what the admission actually covers

At about $16.21 per person, Rave Times is positioned as a value play for Bangkok weekends. You’re not just paying for a “club night ticket” in the abstract—you’re paying for admission to the event itself, which is the key line item that usually makes or breaks value in nightlife.

What I like for planning is the simplicity: your ticket covers entry, and that’s it. Alcoholic beverages are explicitly not included, so you should assume drinks will be an extra cost on top. If you usually budget for one or two drinks max, this can still feel like a bargain. If you want to bar-hop inside the venue all night, the ticket price won’t save you.

Duration is listed as roughly 4 to 7 hours, and the start time is 10:00 pm. That means you’re buying an evening-long block—enough time to settle in, find your rhythm, and actually enjoy the music instead of sprinting through a quick “drop-by” slot.

Music styles on Friday and Saturday: hard techno to psy trance

Rave Times is built around a techno-and-psy-trance community, and the organizer’s own description spells out the range. On the techno side, you can expect things like hard techno and industrial techno. On the trance side, there’s melodic/peak-time techno energy and progressive/psy trance flavor.

Why that matters for you: these scenes can feel very different from each other. Hard and industrial techno nights tend to be tighter, more aggressive, and less “sing-along.” Melodic and peak-time techno usually aims for big energy and hooky moments. Psy and progressive trance can bring a longer “mindset” groove that rewards paying attention to the building structure of the set.

A couple of comments also complained about mismatch with expectations tied to the event’s advertised style. So my practical advice is simple: if you hate industrial/hard techno, don’t show up hoping it turns into something else. The night you choose is the night you should plan for.

Rave Times TH pool-party night: what to expect after 10pm

This experience centers on Rave Times TH, described as Bangkok’s big techno and psy community event with a pool-party element. In practice, that tends to mean a more social, outdoor-adjacent vibe than a pure underground warehouse room.

From the feedback I reviewed, the music and atmosphere are the main story. People describe the sound as world-class level for techno/trance when you’re into the genre, with lots of energy on the dance floor. There’s also a recurring theme of good organization and a strong sense of people being there for the music, not just the photos.

Now, the part you should take seriously: not everyone gets what they expect. One complaint said the room felt small and the person left quickly when the setup didn’t match their expectations. That doesn’t mean you’ll have a bad time. It does mean you should treat this as a genre-focused community event, not a massive spectacle guaranteed to look like the most glamorous marketing images.

If you’re the type who values the DJ sets and the crowd vibe more than size or polish, you’ll likely enjoy this much more.

How to plan your evening: 10pm start and a 4–7 hour run

A 10:00 pm start changes how you should plan your night in Bangkok. Don’t build your schedule like this is a 7 pm dinner-and-club situation. Instead, think of it as a late-night anchor.

The event window is 4 to 7 hours, which is a big enough range that it can feel like a full evening plan. That’s good for you if you want continuity: you arrive, you acclimate, and you keep listening as the night evolves.

For timing, I’d aim to arrive with enough buffer to get comfortable and oriented before the music gets into full swing. Since the start time is fixed, being early is mainly about settling in, not about “waiting around forever.” If the pool-party format is active, weather also becomes part of your arrival plan.

Also, the listing says it’s near public transportation. That’s a big deal in Bangkok, because it makes your exit easier. When nightlife runs late, the last thing you want is a complicated ride home when the energy has peaked and you’re tired.

SUBWERK club connection and underground-club expectations

The organizer calls out SUBWERK Club in the event info, and one of the reviews described a night that paired a pool-party setting with hard techno at that kind of underground club vibe. Even if your exact evening setup varies, you can use this as a clue: Rave Times is not trying to be a mainstream party brand.

So if what you want is underground techno/trance energy with a community feel, this makes sense. If what you want is a trendy, open-format club with pop DJs, you’ll probably feel out of place.

This is also where the “expectations” complaints become useful. One person felt the night was harder and more underground than they expected. That’s not a trick—it’s basically your signal to pick the event style that matches what you actually like.

Drinks, comfort, and staying practical in Bangkok clubs

Alcohol is not included, and that’s the biggest practical note for your budget. If you drink, decide before you go whether you’re having a couple drinks or you’re treating it more like a water-and-juice night. At techno events, the music can keep your energy up, and that sometimes makes people forget how quickly drinks add up.

Comfort matters too, especially with pool-party style environments. Bring or plan for:

• Shoes you can dance in for hours
• A light layer in case the indoor air feels cooler later
• A phone battery plan, since you’ll want your mobile ticket ready

And keep your expectations grounded about the space. One unhappy comment mentioned a small room and a fast exit, which suggests that some nights may feel more compact. If you’re okay with that and focus on the music, it won’t matter.

Weather matters for pool-party nights

The experience specifically requires good weather. That’s not a small footnote. Pool-party formats can shift fast when conditions aren’t right.

If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund. Since you’ll be planning a Bangkok weekend, it’s smart to keep one backup night available on your calendar, just in case your first pick gets weather-canceled.

Who should go, and who might be disappointed

This event fits best if:

• You’re here for techno, psy trance, or closely related electronic styles
• You like dancing through a longer block of music (not a quick in-and-out)
• You want a local community event with strong crowd focus on the DJs

You might be disappointed if:

• You’re expecting a giant, multi-room festival setup
• You want something mainstream or genre-hopping
• You pick the wrong night for your taste (hard/industrial vs. more melodic/peak-time energy is a real difference)

Most importantly, let the advertised style be your guide. A couple of negative experiences centered on mismatch, which tells me the event is better when you choose it with intention rather than curiosity alone.

Should you book Rave Times TH in Bangkok?

I think you should book this if your main goal is a real techno/psy trance night with a community feel and a pool-party twist. The ticket price is low enough that you can take a shot on the sound, and the fact that admission is included keeps the value easy to trust.

I’d also book it if you’re the type who actually cares about the DJ vibe more than the venue size. The best comments emphasize the music, the organization, and the friendly atmosphere for people who are there for the same genre.

Hold off if you need a very polished, photo-perfect club experience or if you hate industrial/hard techno styles. In that case, you’ll want to choose a different event format in Bangkok that matches your taste more closely.
