Patpong Road red light district Bangkok is known as the cities original red light district. These days it is more popular as a night market, however many pole dancing & beer bars are still there. These days Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy are more popular so called entertainment areas.

Shop to you drop at Patpong Road Bangkok

I notice many of the items here are so much cheaper if you shop at Chinatown.

It was a Tuesday night and very quiet, perhaps it was a little early for the crowds at Patpong Road Bangkok.

Nice corner bar

Most of the bars are in the next street which runs parallel to this one.

Sadly I felt I had to point out his companion was actually a LadyBoy.

 Say no more

I’m guessing this is not a pet shop where you can buy a kitten, but then again what would I know?

No photos please.

The Inn Saladaeng

A very nice little hotel a short walk to Patpong. You will get a very good rate if you book through this link.

The hotel is only a 10 minute walk to Cloud 47 one of Bangkok’s fabulous Sky Bars.

Bangkok burger company

Right next door to the hotel is this very good burger restaurant, good food and cold beer, but for some reason they don’t serve wine.

Wine Connection is the better option

A short train ride to Patpong and to will find the Wine Connection, an excellent restaurant.

Choose your wine

A very busy restaurant with a great selection of food and wine.

Street food stalls

Fresh vegetables Bangkok style.

Bangkok breakfast

There is no doubt Thai people have taken street food to an art form.

Sala Daeng skytrain station is about 200 meters from the main Patpong area. If you are travelling from Nana or Asoke on Sukhumvit you need to change trains at Siam station.

Fabulous street food

You can eat well here for around B50.
