 street bar, patpong by trisanna
There is a long nightmarket along Th Silom. Lots of stalls selling tshirts, crafts, textiles and such. Some people may wander up to you -ask if you want to go and see sex show. Most famous are ping pong shows and such. We didn't do this, but we heard it's more of a freak show kind of thing.
Anyway, if you don't have kids you should definately come down here. It;s a very interesting area and not too sleazy. Can get some good shopping done.
Lots of bars and clubs. Leave a Comment Directions: BTS Sala Daeng

 Night Market by shintarojon
Pat Pong is also the place for bargaining up to 100% to 250% less of their selling price. Be guided that the seller here will never talk about the price instead, calculator will be used and believe me, they will give you a terrible and unbelievable high price as much as 400% of the real selling price for they know that you as a buyer will ask for a discount! Of course, they will offer you a discount but they will use calculator and they will never say it in a loud voice! You must be smart enough to get a good price!
One time, my good friend of mine who is presently working in Tokyo, Japan told me to buy an imitated Rado watch for him. The seller from Pat Pong as expected used his calculator to show me the price of the watch. He was giving me a 4,000 Thai baht price! Too expensive and I was really shocked but since I am an expert in this kind of transaction…I was able to buy it at 1,000 baht!!! Even my Thai friends cannot believe that I was able to do that---smart enough?! Leave a Comment

Anything you want you will find at Patpong for a price.
There are the night markets, selling all the normal pirated goods.
Then there are the bars.
Watch out you are not ripped off, some of the girlie bars charge no admission charges but drinks are extremely expensive.
Best to go where the drinks are fixed price and you know what you are up for.
There are also "normal bars" where you can get go for a drink and not be annoyed by people trying to make you buy them drinks.
We have taken friends a couple of times to Patpong and we have all have a great time. Directions: The Patpong/Silom night market gets going after normal working hours and continues until well after midnight. The market adjoins the Saladaeng BTS Station on Silom Road.

At the nightmarket, you can buy the most famous brands ( Rolex, Louis Vuitton, Breitling, Timberland, ...) for almost nothing. Of course everything is fake, but the imitations are really well done!
Don't forget to bargain: sometimes they let go things for half of the price! Leave a Comment

 Patpong Markets by CandS
Of course we also had a lot of offers to see the sex shows in the bars & clubs nearby...everywhere you walk you will have people shoving 'menus' of different shows in your face. If you're into, it there are plenty of options! Leave a Comment

 Patpong by phil_uk_net
The area is full of bars and go-go bars. There is also a night market selling the standard fakes and copies that you see everywhere in Bangkok. Leave a Comment

Patpong is the world famous strip & Bangkok's main night entertainment district. Also popular for its vibrant night bazaar. You can watch girlie shows with the girls exhibiting their "talents". There are two main streets here Patpong 1 & Patpong 2 very close to each other. Directions: MRT Silom Station or BTS Sala Daeng Station.

Loud bars with gogo dancers lined up the Patpong streets (both soi 1 & 2), just passing along these streets even if you're on shopping, you can't get away with the "sales staff" of all the clubs & bars that will persuade you to "come & see inside" and ladies offering "other" services too. Well, you can even see the gogo dancers gyrating to the beat on the ledges or platforms even from the street view. No wonder the area itself is called Bangrak or Town of Love, you know what I mean, right? And yes, bangrak is also the business district of Bangkok. Business & entertainment goes along well here!
But for the night market alone, Patpong is really worth a trip or two, in case you don't have the time to get to Chatuchak Weekend Market - Bangkok's (or asia's or world's(?)) largest weekend market, you'll get the chance to buy souvernirs here.
...as for the Ping Pong word ...hmmmm.....well.........it's a common word that you'll get to hear along the street of Patpong.... you'll have to find out, I'm innocent.... LOL!
Beware of pickpockets!

Running down the middle of Patpong 1 and sprawling out into neighbouring streets is the night market. Cheek-by-jowl stalls of fake designer brands, Thai silk products and knock--ff DVD's jostle for your attention. Lining the street are girlie bars where a menu of floorshows and pole dancing are on offer. In the surrounding area there are signs that a more hardcore bill of fare is available.
It’s an energetic place, busy, brash, and exciting. You can get some great bargains in the market, hone up your bargaining skills - you’ll need them. However every time I caught sight of the rather bored looking girls standing in their underwear in the bars, or was offered the chance to watch the ping-pong or banana show it somehow felt rather uneasily voyeuristic.
The latter would not stop me visiting (indeed we went their twice in order to stock up on Burberry and Rolex) and - unless you know you’ll be offended by the sex trade- I would certainly recommend going there however it did give me pause for thought.

Patpong has a great nighttime market although the prices are truly inflated for the farangs. Some vendors will ask for 1500TBH for a t-shirt when you can actually purchase one for much, much less (I think the real price was around 500-700TBH...if I remember correct!)
The other interesting part of Patpong is of course the sex shows. Walking through Patpong is kind of like visiting Amsterdam's Red Light District. It's an experience and it's part of life in Bangkok. It doesn't matter if you are a man or woman, you will get the exact same offers to go inside the clubs around the market. Most offers occur when you are walking on the outskirts of the market, I never got an offer while I was actually inside the rows of stalls.
Even though I wasn't interested in the sex industry that was offered, I still had a great time with my friends in Patpong and recommend anyone who visits Bangkok to go there at least for one night to see what it's like!
