Pat Pong Bangkok's Red Light District Part 3

In Pat Pong, price of drinks and foods, depend on how great the girl looks. If the girl is gorgeous, expect top prices. The girls definitely know what they are worth and expect the price. The problem in Pat Pong is that they are way too many farangs (foreigners) and the girls have the pick. So if you are on a tight budget, keep away from Pat Pong, unless you just want to ogle. No price is fixed in Pat Pong; everything is a haggle, even the price of sex.

On average, most girls are very decent, young, have great figures, and are submissive. The average price for a girl in Pat Pong is quite variable. The great looking girls go for 2,000-3,000 baht (about $50-$75). The average looking girls go for $ 20-$50. Even though people brag about getting Thai girls for $ 5 and $10, these are butt ugly girls who are over the hill (but do provide the satisfaction).

While in a bar, picking up girls is easy if your pocket is full of money. If you have no money or very little, you will have to go home alone and pleasure yourself. The girls stick to guys who are loaded. And if you do get lucky to take a beautiful girl for the night, make sure you take care of your wallet and clothes (I lost mine and had a hard time explaining to the police man what happened to my clothes-going home naked can ruin a trip to Thailand-luckily there are clothing stalls everywhere in Pat Pong).

Pat Pong has a lot of go go bars and transsexual clubs. Most girls are willing to go home with you if you pay well. For those who are not into sex, Pat Pong is loaded with decent places to eat, drink, and play pool. Mind you, everything is expensive in this neighbor hood compared to the rest of Bangkok

For the new tourist, Pat Pong is not recommended. It is loud, tacky, over priced, has many pickpockets and everyone is only interested in ripping the tourist. Finally remember life is great in Thailand, lots of nice girls and food is great- but the country also has a high rate of HIV. So use caution, wear a rubber, and try not to go upstairs in any Pat Pong bar.

Pat Pong Bangkok's Red Light District Part 2

Pat pong is best visited at night. The place is always teeming with tourists looking to buy fake Rado watches and Polo T shirts, but everyone tries to catch a glimpse at the semi-nude girls. The place is tempting, erotic and also has built a bad reputation. In general, there is no violent crime in all of Thailand. However, once in a while if you get drunk and hassle a girl in pat pong you will know what it feels like to be kicked in the groin from a person trained in Thai boxing- definitely not recommended.

In Pat Pong while violent crime is rare, there are many pickpockets, small time crooks, hustlers and even the girls try to rip you off. For the novice, never go to Pat Pong alone. Mind you, the place is not dangerous at all-in fact just outside Pat Pong is a police station. However, Thai people in Pat Pong have a special way of ripping people off. Everything in Pat Pong is costly. You buy a drink; it will cost you several times more than what it costs in America. The tabs are always padded, and it is not uncommon for tourist bills to be loaded with unnecessary drinks (you may not notice this because a semi nude girl is doing things to you that will keep your mind off the bill).

There are live sex shows but it is only girls making out. There is no real banging between couples- at least not at the clubs. For those who are into this type of fetish, perhaps Pat Pong may be exciting but the lust is not there- it all appears mechanical.

Almost all bars in Pat Pong have an upstairs room where the girls are more liberal, have less clothes, there is a scent of sex, an erotic scent is everywhere, the music is loud, and the girls will do tricks with their mouth and body on you, which you can only dream off. However, upstairs is where one should never go in Pat Pong. It is only asking for trouble. Besides ripping you off, Upstairs bars and clubs usually have mean bouncers and rip off artists. The girls are nice but remember they do this for money- and they want all your money. They all expect you to buy a drink for them, which is overpriced. Even touching them costs money.

By the way no cameras are allowed inside any clubs and if you are caught with one inside taking pictures, be prepared to get another kick in the groin by a thai bouncer.

Pat Pong Bangkok's Red Light District

There is no secret about it- the majority of men go to Thailand for the good life (the sex I mean). Nevertheless, Thailand also has many other great places and some of the best beaches in the world. In any case, Thailand also has the most famous Red light district in the world- Pat pong.

Located in downtown Bangkok between Silom and Surawongse roads is this famous place with all the glitz, razzmatazz, pole dancing, thong wearing girls, go go dancers, exotic looking lady boys and many strip bars. This is the place where it all started in Thailand many years ago- Yes, Pat Pong the skin and sin capital where only good (and sometimes bad) times roll.

The majority of tourists come here to not only ogle at the semi nude girls but also do some hardcore shopping. The entire place is jammed every night with street hawkers, peddlers, and shop merchants. Everything is on sell here besides Sex. Moreover, almost everything is fake- from Gucci, Pierre Cardin, Yves ST Laurent, Liz Claiborne, Tommy Hilfiger, etc, etc.

Once Pat Pong was raunchy, naughty, sexy and erotic- while this is still true today it has calmed down a little. Most of its thunder has been stolen by Nana Plaza-which is more inviting, seductive, sexy and has just as many beautiful girls.
