Patpong is a district in Bangkok famous for its red light district, as a main sex industry in Thailand. The Patpong area is a couple of blocks between Silom and Suriwong Roads, just down from the Sala Daeng Skytrain Station and is home to the city’s most popular and renowned night market, many fine shops, restaurants, five star hotels and the main draw of all, some of the city’s most boisterous nightlife. If you’re visiting Bangkok, or are lucky enough to live here, you’ll know that the main attraction is the area’s world class bars.

Patpong is an entertainment district in Bangkok, Thailand, catering mainly, though not exclusively, to foreign tourists and expatriates. While Patpong is internationally known as a red light district at the heart of Bangkok’s sex industry, the city in fact has numerous red-light districts that are far more popular with Thai men. A busy night market aimed at tourists is also located in Patpong.

When people talk about Bangkok night markets, there is nobody who does not know Patpong. It is a paradise for tourists who like to buy cheap souvenirs before leaving Thailand. The challenging thing for vendors and buyers is to bargain wisely. The lowest offer you can get depends on how much you can use your talent to negotiate.

Many kinds of souvenirs are sold along the street, such as hand-made products, carved woods, home decorations, etc. Products with fake brand names are most popular in this Bangkok night market. They can range from small things to big things, such as earrings, copies of DVDs and CDs, belts, sunglasses, T-shirts, bags and suitcases which are given the sturdy slap test!
