frankly Patpong is a place you should try. You might get a wife or wives by the time you wake up (gay). It's like a meeting place for like-minded people. Once in your life I think you should try and experience it. I recommend you to go with your friends. Try to explore the other side of the world once in your life (I've tried it) and it's fun.

I went to Pattaya for the first time aged just 22 in 1986. I had a girlfriend at home. I was only there as I worked for British Airways and at that time BKK was the easiest warm place to go in winter for 'new' staff with a low staff travel priority. And the Hotel was only about $10 per night 4 star. I went to 'Crazy Horse' a Go-Go. They had this ping-pong show similar to what you mention. I was scared to death!

But I went back there maybe 10-12 years ago and found it had turned pretty seedy. Shame, really, because it was once a fun spot.

Hey Chris, thanks for the "walk down on memory lane"...my first visit was early 87...long ago, when I went to a ping pong show, in a dark, filthy, narrow alley. Lots of noise coming out of some staircases, men and women grabing, luring you into the bars, which were smoke filled, stinky and sticky chairs. It was an experience, I would not want to miss. Albeit now, I would condemn these things - then.....Nowadays, it is like any big city, with an official red light area, where anybody can go for (adult-) entertainment. Colorful lights, music, drinks, etc. youngers, hippsters, etc. i.e. Reeperbahn in Hamburg/Germany. It attracts tourists...brings forex, jobs, turnover (as long as there is no corruption), taxes to pay for hospitals, roads, education, etc. Mankind will extinct itself through other means....:))😂

Great video Chris. I end up with a soaked crotch here quite often - for various reasons. I used to get a tuk tuk from Suhk to home over the river, maybe once a week, just for fun before WFH. Drinking Leos and smoking LM daengs and seeing everything up close. I never get sick of it! I go to Patpong occasionally. It used to have some great little bars. Has slowly degraded over the years and now the banana boyz have moved in. The land must be worth squintillions. Can't see it lasting much longer.

During my first or second visit to Thailand, as a complete newbie, a seasoned tourist and Thai visitor who I met in Phuket, introduced me to Nana plaza during a one day stopover in Bangkok. The venue we went into was on the third floor of Nana Plaza, and the size of a large nightclub. There were lots of tourists, including couples, and over the next 30-45 minutes, the live shows showed me just about more than I could have expected to have seen. This was some 20 years ago now. My last visit to Thailand was 2012, and even then, there had been a massive crack down on the clubs doing live shows or with any nudity. Not been back for ten years, so I don't know if it has changed back or not. Needless to say, after just that one visit, I don't feel inclined to need to see another show again.

in 2002, my first trip, My attorney buddy took me to almost every bar there at 7pm which is early. Even went to the Ladyboy bar at the top of the escalator, he took me there first to shock me, having been in thailand about 20 hours at that point I wasn't shocked. At the end of the brief tour He asked which one to pick, at the time the easy best bar was "Angelwitch" It had an organized show at 9 pm and was a bar that set the standard. in the following years it became a mediocre bar but almost every trip to thailand I've stopped in to buy the "Mama" a couple drinks and have a laugh. That lady knows easy money because the minute I walk in she's on it and doesn't even try to sell me. lol I buy her a few drinks, she gets me to by a few more then the trips complete...lol I'm married now so its doubtful I'll ever return but it was a fun distraction as a single dude. I never got the whole gogo bar thing, or any bar thing while being in a relationship unless my significant other was with me, Not judging others, I just never got it. In fact, never visited Thailand while in a relationship unless my girl joined me. Probably what made it easy for me to not cheat....lol

@@SeanHendy I took some time off because of raising my kids and work. When I started back in 2014 I was hitting Thaifriendly and meeting women in a more serious relationship minded manner. Went through a learning curve and would talk to them via facetime sometimes months before visiting. In 9 trips I never had a bad time and all but one stayed out of gogo bars. Met my wife in 2018. The opposite of a bar girl, and a week before returning home bought her a rountrip ticket and wasted the return portion :) No reason to bad mouth any aspect of thai life. Its all good if you have a good head on your shoulders.

@@fastj1962 nodding furiously in agreement. I really like the Thai culture and their way of doing things as well as approach to life. Turned 50 this year, been single for 10, and never been married, no kids either. The plan since before lockdown has been to move to Phuket for the long term, and plans progress to get all the necessary ducks in a row. Been working online remotely since 2013, so my office can be anywhere with decent internet connection. The bars are ok for some easy company and an ego boost, but hardly the right place for anything serious. I too would be looking for long term relationship, and someone educated, preferably with their own business (we'd have a lot in common and something to talk about). I filter out people who are negative, particularly about Thailand, unless they have a good argument. They rarely do. I don't have time for negativity. True story, staying in Patong circa 2003 ish, I popped into Scruffy Murphy's on Bangla Rd as was my habit of an evening, and met two British women in their mid 20's. Usual initial conversation and they quickly expressed their dislike of Phuket/Patong, and that they were going to leave and go somewhere else, I think another country. I asked them if they had been to the waterfalls, the gibbon sanctuary, to Wat Chalong, taken a day trip to Phi Phi or James Bond island, or any of the half a dozen attractions in easy reach. They hadn't done any. Their view was simply because of the Go Go bars and seeing men with younger Thai women. I said that I didn't think they'd given it much of a chance considering they hadn't really been anywhere. It was lost on them completely. It didn't matter that there were some couples that picked up some company, or that there were women picking up bar girls, or some women meeting Thai men. Granted they are in the minority, but I'm not a fan of sweeping generalisations. What did they really expect to find in the middle of the red light area of Phuket? But even still, it takes 10 seconds to have a proper look and see the many restaurants, normal bars, businesses, clubs and non go go bars, all around, but all they could see was what they didn't like. Their loss. Congratulations on finding someone special. May you have many more years together.

@@SeanHendy I have met so many people in Thailand in so many different circumstances. A few trips in I had gone to Pattaya with the buddy who got me to go to thailand the first time. I stayed at the then Marriott I think it was also 2003. I met this bar girl in Tonys Disco which was a popular spot. Her job was to get dudes to buy drinks, then she had to do the same thing on the afterhours party barge. I told her to come over after "work" I get a call in the am from the front desk and went down to get her where she left her ID with the front. We got to my room which had 2 queen beds and I noticed she was sick as hell. She had a really high fever and was pale. I called room service and they brought me a thermometer and tylenol. She took the meds and went to sleep in one bed and I in the other. That afternoon she woke up and was much better. We became friends and hung out for a few years. Never hooked up either. She was just a cool chick. She ended up learning to cut hair and working a real job. Just one of the many awesome Thai people I've met in my thai adventures. We have a house in Chiangmai, and one here in southern california. I find myself fighting with the idea of selling the house here in the USA and just retiring in thailand, I think the first steps going to be renting it out .... I'm 60, we'll see how long I can hold out. :)

I am with you Chris, there is far more to the Country than the red light districts. 18 is probably fair. It certainly isn't why I visit. My gem (but not Bangkok) is Maya Bay but i found somewhere equally as stunning, Lao Ladings

And don't forget, Patpong has a gay alley, too. Gay go go bars, gay drink bars (not sure what the equivalent of "lady drink" would be), gay massage parlors and saunas. It seems obvious now that I know they exist, but it was surprising when I first saw them.

** ขอแก้ไขนะครับ ตอนมีการกล่าวถึง "หลวงพัฒน์พงศ์พานิช" แต่กลับเอาพระบรมฉายาลักษณ์ "พระบาทสมเด็จพระปกเกล้าฯ - รัชกาลที่ 7 (King Prajadhipok)" ขึ้นมา อยากให้ศึกษาและนำเสนอให้ดีกว่านี้ครับ
