From Pat Pong to Khao San Road: Nightlife in Bangkok, Thailand

None of my buddies believed me when I told them I stumbled upon Bangkok’s red light district by accident. Sure, I was curious as well as wildly intrigued, however that moment that I just discovered myself in the middle of it was not organized at all.

I shown up in downtown Bangkok past six in the evening. From the Saladaeng station of the BTS (MRT), the hotel I booked was found a number of blocks away. While I had the precise address, I was totally disoriented by whatever in Bangkok — their address system, the night market, the goodlooking people, as well as the language barrier. I had asked many, however nobody seemed to understand where the hotel was. It was getting dark, the makeshift stores of the night market were slowly taking form, as well as I was still lost in a city so foreign to me. I struggled to figure out my place up until the neon lights above me burst to life — super Pussy, the lights screamed. just a few steps as well as a guy approached me with a menu, “Ping pong show,” he invited. as well as right at that moment, I understood precisely where I was.

Pat Pong

Pat Pong, the street notorious for the unwholesome establishments, is just a block away from my hotel. Not that I was complaining.

The street’s reputation may not be squeaky clean, however it was great location to begin getting acquainted with the city. The night market is teeming with inexpensive products — from mementos to clothing (mostly knockoffs) to accessories. as well as in between those stalls, you’ll area fascinating products such as sex toys as well as attractive magazines. In the street corners stand restaurants as well as eateries serving Thai favorites from tom yum to pork rice, all within the pocket-friendly range. If your stomach still has space for more, you can try Thai snacks (grilled poultry liver) as well as desserts (mango sticky rice!) sold at little stalls, manned by extremely friendly locals. I wasn’t able to go into any type of of those dodgy bars (not that I meant to) however as an outsider, I realized that there’s definitely more to Pat Pong than the legendary ping pong as well as other sporting events happening inside.

Silom Road

Pat Pong runs adjacent Silom Road, the primary artery of Bangkok’s business district. developed in 1851, it was originally meant as part of a dyke. Today, however, it is a major monetary center that is house to a few of Thailand’s biggest companies. In the five nights that I stayed in Bangkok, Silom likewise ended up being my home. I just liked that it was quickly linked to the rest of the city by the train (Silom Line), making it more attractive to me that Khao San Road.

Silom road is likewise flanked by dining establishments ranging from kerbside eateries to high-end restaurants. I spent most of my nights walking around the area, not eating at the exact same location twice. It is likewise a major entertainment hub, famous for its vibrant gay scene; a couple of its sois harbor gay lounges as well as clubs.

Khao San Road

Backpacking central is what Khao San road is most understood for. I did not stay at a hotel in Khao San however I still handled to capture a go to into my itinerary. I was just so curious about why tourists flock here.

Khao San utilized to be an important area for rice trade. In fact, the words Khao San means “milled rice” in vernacular. It is stated that the extremely very first business along the street was a hotel that sheltered civil servants from Thailand’s provinces. since then, countless accommodations have mushroomed right here with the years. It has ended up being the preferred among foreign backpackers (perhaps since of the inexpensive hotel rates) whose Southeast Oriental path usually starts as well as ends right here at this extremely street.

At night, the backpackers keep the street to life as they flood into the bars as well as restaurants that edge the road. It’s like a bigger as well as wilder night market. If you’re after food, you’ll discover whatever here. restaurants boast western as well as regional cuisines while outside, crowds gather around stalls that offer the usual (barbeque) as well as the exotic (crickets). travel agencies, tour operators, as well as money changers likewise abound.

Five days isn’t sufficient to truly experience much of what Bangkok nightlife has to offer. Still, I keep in mind the fun I had walking around the city’s famous (and infamous) streets after dusk. I keep in mind those nights when I just chosen a random kerbside eatery as well as ordered whatever they had to offer. I keep in mind those nights that I went into the club as well as just danceD noc pryč. Mám na paměti, že v noci se ztratí metodu do hotelu a také bombardují pimpy, stejně jako obrázky sexuálních hraček a také Ping Pong show. Udělali velké vnímání a nechali na mé paměti hlubší známku. Stejně jako to zůstává pravdivé, ať už to bylo součástí plánu, nebo zda mi moji kamarádi věřili.
