Bangkok has the reputation of a "city of sin," and it's certainly true that commercial, exploitative sex is not difficult to find. Patpong I and II (running between Silom and Surawong Roads) are the two most popular destinations for tourists seeking sex (or a look), followed closely by Nana Plaza on Sukhumvit Soi 4 and Soi Cowboy off Sukhumvit Soi 23. Travelers should beware: Druggings, pick-pocketing and assault are not uncommon in any of these areas. Besides the sex shops, the city also has a wide assortment of live-music venues, nightclubs and pubs.
Patpong Patpong used to be known as the red light district of South-East Asia. It probably does not live up to its international image any more - most of the old Patpong sex scene has shifted to Soi Cowboy (Sukhmuwit 23) and Nana Plaza (Sukhumwit 3). Still, there are plenty of go-go bars remaining and enough touts to retain a raucous atmosphere.
Patpong is a great place to take visitors - they think they’re somewhere famous, and there is also an excellent market selling all the fake watches and designer goods that tourists feel are essential to take home.
