I've been to almost every club on khao san, and it leaves a lot to be desired.

Yeah the clubs on KSR are terrible mostly. Bad music, drunken rowdy backpackers and a few ladyboys and pro's. Apparently there are a few bars in the KSR area where local Thai students drink though, I don't know any of the names and I never found them. I think it's a good for a few warm up drinks, you can find a bar (I usually hit one of the street bars with the plastic stools) buy a beer and watch the world go by for a bit or walk up and down the street and check out what's going on, maybe stop by one of the live music places. After a few beers head somewhere else / better. Definitely not worth staying to go to the clubs unless already with a girl because their all a total sausage fest. Last time I went to 'The Club' with this American girl I pulled and european GUYS kept hitting on me, she was finding it hilarious but I wasn't amused.

Nightlife wise I'd head to RCA seeing as it is the weekend. That's where all the young Thais go for nights out, it's a street full of clubs and bars and you'll find something to suit your tastes. No pro's or ladyboys in sight here. Just normal girls on a night out but they'll be in big groups, often mixed so you'll have to befriend groups for success.

On any night of the week, if all else fails and it's 2/3am and you've had no luck hop in a taxi and ask the driver to take you to Spicy. Make sure he's going to drive you for free as he gets commission from the club and doesn't have to charge you (they are all happy to do this strangely). This is an after hours club where all the farang hunters, pro's and semi-pros go if they've had no success elsewhere (as well as those who just want to keep partying) so go here and shore. It goes on till 5/6am then eveyones moves to a club across the road located in the back of a restaurant and parties till mid day. You should get lucky by the end of that lot I'm sure.
