Bangla Road is a better place to go. Bangla Road, full description. How good is the nightlife in Patong compared to the nightlife in Bangkok and Pattaya?

The first thing that needs to be said about these beer establishments is that people go to them not so much to drink beer, but to meet local girls. The girls working in these bars are never against such acquaintances, and, at a minimum, will not refuse to drink beer with foreigners, at their expense, of course.

It is worth noting that these beer bar dwellers, as a rule, speak reasonable English, and since they are young, spontaneous, curious and often quite beautiful, even a simple conversation with them can easily dispel the occasional boredom.

If your interest in girls extends beyond just conversations, the girl you like will not be surprised by such a development of events, and everything that happens next will depend solely on you. You can invite a girl to a restaurant or to a disco, and generally play in love. Or you can simply explain to the girl in plain text what exactly you want from her. The desires you expressed to the girl, at the same time, certainly do not shock, if only for the reason that these girls have seen a lot in their lives, and with a high degree of probability, they have seen much more than you.

If you choose the second scenario, the question of money will naturally arise. There is no general rule here, however, if you do not want to bore the girl with your presence for a long time, the amount will revolve around 1000-1500 baht. And if you want to spend the whole night with a girl, the figure will be from 2000 to 3000 baht.

In the case of the first option, there may not be a conversation about money, however, it does not follow from this that the girl can not be given money at all. You need to understand well that girls sit in bars not at all to kill time, but to earn a living. And the financial side of relationships with them should be taken seriously, because angry Thai girls can cause a lot of trouble. And it's not a joke. In any case, these troubles, in the form of a scratched face and the very likely appearance of the police, will be much more serious than the disputed amount of 1000/2000 baht.

But what about sex for love, you ask, after reading what was written above.

It is quite possible if you can make a strong enough impression on a local girl so that she, at least for a while, forgets about money. And, besides this, explain to her in plain text that you are not going to give money. And explain this to her before, not after.

What is written here may seem overly cynical, but in fact, when talking with a girl, it is not so difficult to find suitable and decent words in order to unobtrusively put all the dots on the money issue.

It is worth noting that for many European tourists, promoting local girls for free sex is something of a sport. The author of these lines has repeatedly observed Anglo-Saxons walking around the rows of girls with phrases like “I’m poor student, blah-blah-blah,” and, characteristically, with a positive result. However, this sport also has its disadvantages. If a girl is good-looking, she will happily laugh at such a joke, exchange a few phrases with the poor student, and remain sitting at the bar, waiting for a richer student to appear on the horizon. And the one who will agree to such a proposal is the one whose external data is not impressive, and for whom neither the rich nor the poor are in line.

Concluding this topic, one cannot help but say that communicating with Thai girls, despite the fact that they are children of a completely different civilization and most openly want to get money out of you, is not much different from communicating with girls in the vast expanses of our Motherland. Such is the paradox.

Common terminology and practice. Slang, overhead costs and escorting girls to hotels.

If you intend to take communication with local girls to a practical level, it’s a good idea to have some understanding of the terminology that is well-established in their circle and, in general, about the technical side of this entire entertainment process. First, there are a few words and phrases that you are likely to hear and the meaning of which is worth understanding:

Short Time– this term means that you are not going to take away more than 2 hours of the girl’s precious time.

Long Time- means that you are going to invite a girl for the whole night.

Bar Fine– girls work on the staff of bars, and you can’t just take them away from there; you need to pay compensation to the bar owners, at least 500 baht.

Mamasan(less often - Papasan) - the owner (owner) of the bar and at the same time the manager of the girls; it is mamasan who demands bar fine from you, and at the same time, forces you to buy beer or cola, at a price that you will not like.

Guest Fee– not only girls and bars want your money; many hotels also require money for permission to take a girl to the room; Usually this amount revolves around 500 baht.

Another interesting question that cannot be ignored concerns the escort of girls to the hotel. As a rule, Thai hotels are guest-friendly; exceptions to this rule are extremely rare, and apply only to particularly expensive and particularly respectable hotels. It is worth noting that if the hotel does not want guests to take girls, this will be communicated in such a way that it will be impossible to miss this information. For example, a poster with relevant content will be pasted on the door of your room.

As mentioned above, many (but not all) Thai hotels charge an additional fee for escorting girls to the room, usually the amount ranges from 500 baht. If you fly to Thailand on a tour package, then with a 90% probability you can expect that your hotel will be one of them. If you book a hotel yourself, then it’s not so difficult to choose a hotel where you can take girls for free. For example, to stay in those apartments where the reception is open only during the day, and in the evenings there is simply no one to take money from the guests.

In the same case, if you have reasons why you do not want to take a girl to your room (for example, you suspect that your wife is hiding there with a rolling pin), nothing will prevent you from resolving the issue with the hotel on the spot. There are countless hotels in the Bangla Road area with prices ranging from 800 to 1000 baht per night, and all these hotels are well known to girls. So you don’t even have to rack your brains over this problem: entrust the choice of hotel to a girl, and she will cope with this task normally.

Possible unpleasant consequences. Funny diseases and crime.

The pleasant, cheerful and life-affirming side of this matter was mentioned above; now it’s time to talk about the less pleasant side of the issue, about possible medical and criminal consequences, the likelihood of which is not zero.

You probably don’t need to write here about the fact that you should always use a condom, but what definitely needs to be written about is that a condom does not protect 100% from unpleasant consequences.

And in order to reduce the likelihood of such consequences to a minimum, you need to understand that all these funny diseases are not only medical, but also social in nature. In practice, this obvious fact is expressed in the fact that the likelihood of catching an infection from a girl working in an expensive and decent, by Thai standards, establishment is quite small. But in the case of a lady working on the street, in some dirty alley, it is very large.

Criminal hardcore, in the form of clonidine added to beer, is characteristic, perhaps, only of Pattaya. In Patong, the only thing you can expect from troubles of this kind is an unexpected loss of material assets, mystically connected with a girl visiting your room. As always happens in such cases, both parties are involved in the disappearance of money, mobile phones and laptops. Owners of material assets, dumbfounded by a meeting with another civilization, often do not realize obvious and banal things. For example, that you should not test the honesty of girls with a wad of dollars thrown to the mercy of fate in a desk drawer. What about the girls? What is the demand from them? Even ministers and deputies can easily covet ownerless material assets.

In fact, the probability of petty, and not very, theft is not so great, since a girl can go to great lengths only if she is 100% sure that she will not be found later. And if you met a girl in the bar where she works, finding her is as easy as shelling pears, just as if she left a copy of her documents at the hotel reception, such a copy is always made when paying the guest fee (fee charged by the hotel for escorting a local girl to her room).

From the above, one very simple and obvious conclusion can be drawn: do not chase the cheap. Girls working in establishments on Bangla Road want to get money that is not so stunning, by European standards, and an attempt to find cheaper options somewhere on the street can easily result in both medical and criminal consequences.

Transvestites, they are also catoi, they are also ladyboys. How to distinguish a trans woman from a straight woman.

This topic cannot be ignored, since the entire Internet is filled with funny (and not so funny) stories about encounters with these strange creatures. Reading these stories, it is not always possible to understand how their authors managed to get into such an anecdotal and, often, unpleasant situation.

The main reason for such adventures, however, lies on the surface and lies in the fact that at the time of their adventures the authors of all these countless stories were, to put it mildly, drunk.

Otherwise, they would never confuse a boy with a girl, since no amount of plastic surgery can turn a plowman, hunter and lumberjack into an elegant and defenseless creature, with a small hand, half the size of a man’s, and an equally small and graceful leg.

The physiological differences between trans girls and straight girls have been listed probably a thousand times already, but what has been written about quite rarely is that a trance (katoya) is very easy to distinguish from a real girl by their manner of behavior.

This difference in behavior lies in the fact that transvestites do not have innate feminine grace, and they play this grace the same way as actors play on stage. And since acting is a rare thing, they act lousy, constantly overact, look vulgar and overly cheeky, and the flaws in their mimicry are manifested in absolutely everything, and in the manner of speaking, and in the manner of dressing, and in the manner of walking, and in their style makeup, etc., etc., etc.

In general, when sober, distinguishing a tranny from a straight woman is not the slightest difficulty. However, if you take 3 liters of beer on your chest, and put 700 grams of vodka on top, then the line between a boy and a girl can indeed become very unsteady, and stories can happen that most then prefer not to tell.

P.S. If you are not sure who is in front of you, trans or straight, pay attention, in addition to demeanor, to height, shoe size and palm size, those physiological data that cannot be corrected with plastic surgery. And if your potential chosen one is not inferior to you in height, behaves excessively cheekily and wears size 44 shoes, think about how joyful your further communication with her will be for you;)

Other entertainment Bangla Road. Discos, go-go bars and massage parlors.

Discos. There are almost a dozen of them in the Bangla Road area, all of them are located in a prominent place, and these establishments are definitely worth a visit.

These discotheques are decorated with some flair, expensive acoustics are installed everywhere, the sound, as a result, is clear and powerful, the music is mostly in the spirit of MTV. These establishments open at 9–10 pm, but the influx of people in them usually occurs closer to midnight.

Patong discos are not very suitable for meeting Thai girls, at least dating at a disco is not mainstream for Patong.

Local girls, however, are present at discos, and are clearly divided into two categories: bar-girls, who sat unsuccessfully all evening in their bar and went on a further search for a source of wealth, and ordinary Thai girls who came to Phuket on vacation , and those who came to the disco just to relax and have fun. It is not always possible to distinguish the former from the latter, even with an experienced eye, and it is this fact that complicates getting to know local girls, since communicating with amateurs and professionals requires a different approach and a different vocabulary.

However, as a place to get acquainted, Patong discos have a slightly different advantage. These establishments are excellent for meeting compatriots, in case Thai girls have not made a strong enough impression on you. There are a lot of compatriots vacationing in Phuket, they all go to discos with pleasure, so there are always many options for this kind of dating.

Go-go bars. It’s impossible to write much about these establishments. Those go-go bars located on Bangla Road are an unfortunate parody of Pattaya establishments, and if you walk past them, you will lose absolutely nothing in your life.

Massage parlors. There is one Thai massage salon in Patong. This establishment is called Christin Massage, and is a huge pink building located on Second Road (Thanon Ratuthit Songroipi Road), south of its intersection with Bangla Road.

It should be noted that the golden years of Thai (non-health) massage are long behind us, and at the moment Thailand is too rich and prosperous a country for young and beautiful girls to agree to work in establishments like Christin Massage, which is essentially a job on the sex conveyor belt. In practice, the above is expressed in the fact that the ladies working at Christin Massage are frankly not young, and many of them are at such a respectable age that they are fit to babysit their grandchildren.

P.S. What was written above was relevant even ten years ago, and since there was no personnel rotation at Christin Massage, today we can state that the local priestesses of love have broken all records of professional longevity.

Bangla Road Nightlife Photos

To understand the attitude of Thais towards the behavior of girls who do not deny themselves the little joys of life, it is worth taking a short historical excursion.

To begin with, it is worth saying that Thai society has never known taboos and prohibitions on sexual activity, the same taboos that are so characteristic of the Abrahamic religions.

The local religion, unlike the dominant religions in Europe, has always been liberal, tolerant and understanding of all aspects of human nature.

And gender relations in Thailand have always been regulated by the most general religious and ethical principle, namely: no matter what a person does, his actions should not harm other people.

And since the relationship between girls and their, as they now call, boyfriends, has always suited both parties, neither society, nor family, nor state and religious structures have ever interfered in these relationships.

It is worth adding that Thailand was spared both the dubious views of medieval Europe, which revered virginity with amazing zeal, and the ideas of European totalitarianism of the 20th century, which sought to control a person’s actions, including through control of his sexuality.

The same ideological ideas that were formed within Thai society itself are best conveyed by two very famous Thai words: “sanuk” and “sabai”. Without going into the subtleties of translation, the meaning of these words can be explained as follows: the sun is shining - sanuk, a beautiful girl is sitting next to it - sabay, good music is playing - sanuk, cold beer is flowing like a river - sabay, and so on, the list can be continued indefinitely.

In practice, the Thais’ love for sanuk and sabai has led to the fact that they have learned to masterfully extract pleasure from the current moment of life, and their liberal view of the world has led to the fact that they do not interfere with others’ enjoyment of life, and never interfere in someone else’s life. life if no one asks them to.

How everything that happens on Bangla Road looks in the eyes of the girls working there

The girls' view of their work is simple and unpretentious. Sitting in the bars of Bangla Road, they, paradoxically, are looking for their happiness.

What constitutes happiness in their understanding cannot be explained in a couple of paragraphs, but it is easy to explain what happiness in their understanding is not.

Firstly, happiness for them is not working in a 7/11 store with a salary of 8 - 10 thousand baht per month. Secondly, and maybe even firstly, happiness for them is not working in a rice field in their native province of Isan, a job in which at 30 you can become an old woman, and at 40 you can go on a date with Buddha .

In general, to put it bluntly, girls treat their work the same way they treat any other fairly well-paid job, which has both its pros and cons.

These disadvantages are quite obvious, but it is worth special mention about the advantages, since they will probably surprise many readers of this text. These advantages lie not so much in the fact that you can receive generous tips and live at a resort without any special worries, but in the fact that with this job you can most likely find yourself a rich husband. And it's not a joke.

Married couples consisting of a Thai and a foreigner (usually a European) are not uncommon in Thailand, and to understand the scale of this phenomenon, it is enough to say that in Isan province alone more than 100 thousand foreigners (read: non-poor Europeans) are registered on family visas. .

So, the story of the famous film “Pretty Woman”, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, is not a fairy tale for girls sitting in the bars of Bangla Road. For them, this is a very real prospect for the development of events, especially if the girl is moderately smart, not absurd, and beautiful enough to arouse the interest of rich European playboys.

How good is the nightlife in Patong compared to the nightlife in Bangkok and Pattaya?

Both as a center of nightlife and as a center of sex tourism, Patong has never claimed first place in Thailand.

In truth, in the case of Patong, this third place could never be seriously considered a prize, since against the backdrop of Bangkok and Pattaya, Patong always looked like nothing more than the second league.

And this applied to all aspects of nightlife: the number, size and variety of entertainment venues; the number and external characteristics of local girls; and absolutely everything else.

So, the nightlife of Patong made a truly strong impression on tourists only in one case, if they had not yet seen the nightlife of Bangkok and Pattaya.

The above was true even many years ago, in the best years for Patong, which, sadly, are long gone. At the moment, Patong's nightlife establishments are half empty, and this is not due to the decline or collapse of the Thai entertainment industry, but to the fact that in recent years the contingent of people coming to the island of Phuket has changed greatly.

Young, active, and adventurous people are now avoiding Phuket, and are visited mainly by married couples over the age of 40, who come to Phuket on tourist packages. This public is not inclined to participate in nightlife, and if they appear on Bangla Road, it is only to look at everything that is happening from the outside, the way they look from the outside at the life of animals in the zoo.

As a result, the girls who worked in the bars of Bangla Road and Patong are leaving, the bars themselves are half empty, and at the moment (season 2019), Patong, unlike Bangkok and Pattaya, is already difficult to recommend as a place that is the standard of nightlife.

On Bangla Road you will definitely be pestered by guys with brochures in their hands, inviting you to come and watch a pussy show (sometimes called a ping pong show). The whole show represents various tricks with female reproductive organs - sometimes a ping-pong ball is shot out of them, sometimes a cigarette is lit, and sometimes a chain of blades comes out of it. To be honest, the sight can hardly be considered pleasant. Entrance is free, but you definitely need to buy some kind of drink (they will immediately run up to you with a menu), which are all at the same price - 500 baht. On the street, the barker says that the first 5 minutes are free and if you don’t like it, you can leave. This is true and if you just want to have an idea about this show, then go for 2-3 minutes and come back. Photography is strictly prohibited, don’t even try.

Bangla Road has about dozens of branch lanes (or Soi in Thai): Soi Easy, Soi Gonzo, Soi Crocodile, Soi Eric, Soi Sea Dragon, Soi Tiger, Soi Vegas. Basically, they are on the left side (if you go from the sea). Actually, the whole party takes place in these Soi - Go-Go bars, pussy shows. Be sure to explore them all, because each is famous for something special. For example, transvestites hang out on Soi Crocodile, there are a lot of bars with girls on Soi Eric and Soi Tiger, and there are a lot of Go-Go bars on Soi Sea Dragon. Soi Easy is also famous for the fact that it has a roof and you don’t have to be afraid of the rain.

In Bangla, girls stand and walk around, ready to brighten up the evening and night of a lonely man. Prices start from 1200 baht.

Bangla Road is the main party street in Phuket, located right in the center of Patong. During the day, transport travels along it, and in the evening at 18:00 it is closed for tourists, trannies, prostitutes, showmen and everyone else. Bangla Road in Phuket is the equivalent of Walking Street in Pattaya and Khao San Road in Bangkok. Here you will find all the naughty frills you need.

Along Bangla Road you can find entertainment of all kinds: the right side of the street (as seen from Patong Beach) is reserved for more or less decent bars, and the left side is for strip clubs and go-go bars. Dancing without clothes is illegal in Thailand, but on Bangla Road you can see everything. You can enter almost any establishment for free, but you must order a drink. Prices in such establishments are for tourists. For example, beer costs from 300 baht.

Admission to the sex show, where they show the different capabilities of the female body, is also free, but you must order a drink. All drinks are the same price - 500 baht. Photo and video shooting at such shows is strictly prohibited, the fine is 10,000 baht. But the first 5 minutes can be watched for free. If you don't like it, you can leave and not pay anything. The show lasts all night, and the “artist performances” are repeated. So you can join at any time and watch the entire series of performances.

Most of all, Bangla Road attracts men, of course, because the entire industry of this place is tailored exclusively to old European pervert grandfathers and younger men. It is precisely the low prices that Bangla Road attracts all these men - you can brighten up the evening with a prostitute here for 1,000 baht. Ordinary girls also hang out here, but there is much less entertainment for them - drink, dance and go home. Walking along Bangla Road in Patong is not so easy - along the way you will be stopped by promoters and invited to go to their establishments or watch sex shows, live music bands and musicians who give performances right in the middle of the street, which you need to avoid and crowds of people. The only thing worth taking from the promoters on Bangla Road are flyers. It is much more profitable to go to clubs there.

Bangla Road on the map

The landmark for the beginning of Bangla Road in Patong is a huge inscription in the center of PATONG BEACH. Please note that the inscription is in the center, because on the outskirts of the beach there is also such an inscription on the beach.

Bangla Road on the map of Phuket along with other attractions.

Over the years of its existence, Bangla Road has grown into a dozen lanes, where there are also clubs, massage parlors with “happy end” services and other “adult entertainment”. These are the streets adjacent to Bangla Road:

Soi Easy Lane
Soi Gonzo Lane
Soi Crocodile Lane (transvestite street)
Soi Eric Lane
Soi Sea Dragon Lane
Soi Lion Lane
Soi Tiger Lane
Soi Vegas Lane

It’s worth going to the neighboring streets, because sometimes the parties there are much more interesting than on the main street. There is no point in describing the names of establishments, because often some close, and others open in their place. Of course, there are also establishments that have been working here for 20 years. For example, an Australian pub.

Hotels near Bangla Road

For those who come to relax exclusively on Bangla Road, there is a hundred next to the noisiest street in Patong. There are luxury hotels and cheap guesthouses here.

With the onset of dusk, the calm and measured life of the Phuket beach resort is gradually filled with the hum of rhythmic dance music - this is the awakening of one of the best streets for unbridled entertainment - Bangla Road.

It comes to life before our eyes, filling with people, lighting up the lights of night bars, clubs and discos. There is no need to look for Bangla Road - this is the central street of Patong, it connects the two main roads of the city leading to the sea.

It’s easy to find entertainment to suit your taste: a traditional restaurant or an American McDonald’s, sports bars or a disco.

Bangla Road on the map of Patong

Bangla Road is often compared to Walking Street, but this famous Phuket street is not quite as depraved. During the day, this is an ordinary inconspicuous street with busy traffic, filled with traditional Thai shops and stalls, but after six in the evening the entrance to traffic is blocked, and one after another, entertainment venues begin to open, offering nightlife in Thai style.

Overview of the lanes of Bangla Road

When starting your journey, pay attention to the exchange office, pharmacy and a number of tents that are located near the beach - their services may be useful to you.

And after 50 meters you will find the carnival diversity of Patong’s nightlife with crowds of people, dressed up transvestites, making a living taking photographs with tourists, street magicians and other artists of original genres.

Bangla Road is a 350 m long street, crossed by small Soi lanes, at every step of which there are bars, restaurants and clubs. Each lane is unique, so let's get to know them better.

Soi Easy

At the very beginning, closest to the sea is the Soi Easy lane. The undeniable advantage of which is the canopy stretched between the two-story buildings of bars and discos. Thanks to this, you can have fun here in any weather. Here you will find several traditional bars and discos, and more than two dozen so-called beer bars, where girls will perform whatever a tourist’s heart desires for a fee.

It is worth highlighting the Irish bar “Scruffy Murphy’s” , which will delight you with soulful live music in the national style. Go-go bar “Secret” with a good show program with the participation of Thai models from Bangkok.

The Hollywood disco is very popular in Phuket. It is located on the second floor. There is no dance floor as such, only a row of tables, but this does not in any way affect the popularity of the disco.

Soi Gonzo

The next lane is Soi Gonzo, much quieter and secluded than the previous one. This is a music lover's paradise. Each bar here has its own music, from popular pop to heavy metal.

There is no pursuit of relevance and fashion trends here, and many establishments have the same design and appearance as ten to fifteen years ago. The atmosphere of the 90s will appeal to those who miss that dashing decade. Among the bars, pay attention to “Black Cat Bar” , “Tahiti Bar” and the scandalous “Aussie Bar” are a piece of Australia in Phuket.

There is also a disco with free entry “White Room”.

Soi Crocodile

Soi Crocodile is not a place for everyone. This is the alley of transvestites - “kathoys”, as they are called in Thailand. In Phuket it is known as Soi Kathoe. It got its name from the name of the now burnt night club “Crocodile”. Now in its place is the D Club, an establishment where for 500 baht you can enjoy a Thai show for an hour.

Transvestites are also called “ladyboys” in Thailand.

Stories about how tourists in Thailand confuse ladyboys with girls have gained wide popularity for good reason: it is very difficult to distinguish them outwardly. Ladyboys take care of themselves no worse than girls, and in terms of cuteness and manners they often leave the Thais far behind.

Please note that there is a fee for photography here. And don’t forget that many bars offer immodest XXX shows. If you are not afraid of such an exotic holiday in Thai style, Soi Crocodile in Phuket is definitely for you.

Soi Eric

This was once a very popular lane: the same music from all speakers and the same design allowed tired tourists who had traveled halfway along Bangla Road to relax.

Now this place is extremely unpopular, and, according to the reviews of many tourists who visited Phuket, Soi Eric can no longer boast of good staff.

This alley is worth a detour because of the excellent Thai go-go bars, which is why most tourists come here. In fact, Soi Sea Dragon is a separate club in Phuket. There is a DJ console right in the middle of the alley, and everything around is decorated with flowers.

In many bars you can play simple logic games, periodically having a glass with the girls at your expense. True, not all games are about ingenuity - there are also those where you will have to show other skills.

Professional female players will certainly let you win, but then hold on - you will definitely lose, albeit a little - the cocktail you ordered at the bar.

In many bars you will see bells hanging overhead. If you want to call them, then after that you will have to treat everyone, including the staff, with drinks. A unique challenge for the broad-minded tourist.

Pay attention to the best go-go bars in the city, for which, in fact, it’s worth visiting: – House of Sound, Devil’s, Play School a Go Go, Candy Club, OMG a Go Go and Exotica.

Soi Lion

This has been a new shopping center for a long time. There are also several bars and venues for live bands, so music lovers should head to Soi Lion if they fancy a live concert.

Soi Tiger

It’s not for nothing that Phuket is famous for this lane. Soi Tiger is an integral complex of mini bars with its own staff, decorated in a cave style: waitresses in short “predatory” suits invariably attract visitors to their establishment.

On the second floor of the complex there is “Tiger Disco” - one of the famous discos in Phuket.

Soi Vegas

Soi Vegas - very popular on Bangla Road, here is the entrance to the Seduction discotheque - the largest discotheque in Phuket. There are three dance halls, so you will have plenty of room to have fun. The first of them is Australian, where everything is filled with surfboards, there is even a canoe and, of course, a huge dance floor. The second room is for leisurely relaxation with a glass of exotic cocktail in hand. There is also an open veranda here.

Entrance to this disco is free of charge. Near the distributors you can get a flyer with the name of the club on T-shirts, the presence of which before 23-24 hours will provide a discount on drinks, such as vodka or gin. There is a Russian striptease bar "Moulin Rouge" , a restaurant for seafood lovers, and also a bar for those who are tired of the Thai heat - “Ice Bar” , the air temperature in which is minus five.

After exploring all these noisy places, you can go to the south side of Bangla Road - there are quiet restaurants, nice interiors, simple sports bars and reasonable prices. Soi Patong Resort, Soi Viking and Soi Piadina also offer affordable seafood restaurants.

On holidays, a stage is set up near Bangla Road on the beach where vocalists and dancers perform. During festivals, Bangla Road is also an entertainment hub.

Songkran is the arena of water battles. Here tourists happily immerse themselves in the atmosphere of reckless childhood and pour water on each other from water machine guns and pistols.

Entrance to almost all go-go bars and discos is free. But in any case, you should definitely buy some kind of drink.

Visiting many shows for the first 5 minutes is free, if you don’t like it, you can leave and not pay. Photography is strictly prohibited.

Almost everywhere the kitchen is open until 11 am, drinks are served until a maximum of 3 am. In 24-hour establishments, everything is 24/7.

Filipinos play live music. And they play very well.

In the alleys there are many photographers offering to take a photo with an exotic animal, sellers of flowers and souvenirs, and there are even children among them. Thais do not welcome child labor, so they urge them not to buy anything from little ones. Remember that souvenirs that seem really worthwhile are fake.

Beware of individuals who try to offer you something: “something”, they are often distributors of narcotic substances. In Thailand, drug distribution is punishable by death or life imprisonment.

Bangla Road is so diverse that it is impossible to experience all its delights at once. It’s worth coming here again and again, looking for new entertainment.

Bangla - Bangla Road Guide

Guide to Bangla Road, Patong Beach,

We won’t talk for a long time about how wonderful you can spend time in Phuket, or rather, on the street Bangla Road . Rather, the article is devoted to tips and recommendations regarding what this place is like and why, when arriving in Phuket, you should definitely visit it.
The information presented describes the personal experience gained through the trip. But enough prefaces, it’s time to go on a journey!

Bangla Road, Phuket

So, this is an interesting or even unusual street, so it can be called a real werewolf. Why? During the day you can easily walk through it in about five minutes, but when dusk comes it changes beyond recognition. Neon signs are lit, music is heard from everywhere, and crowds of nightlife and “green snake” lovers gather.

The length of Bangla Road is similar to Arbat, only on the way you will have many side streets. They are usually called by the short word “Soi”. If you decide to feel the serene spirit of Patong and get to know Phuket from all sides, do not ignore them in any way.

What's there? There are an incredible number of bars, so there will be no problems with the opportunity to drink and relax. Both in appearance and content they differ from each other. There is a category of rather modest bars, where you can go only for the purpose of drinking heavily, and there are also respectable places with stunning interiors and exteriors, for example Tiger Bar. Basically, all bars are very similar to each other, however, a fairly common situation is when one establishment is completely packed with visitors, while another is lonely and empty. Why is that? Perhaps it's all about the atmosphere of the bar itself.

Prices in establishments vary somewhat, but are still significantly cheaper than in their native land. Therefore, you need to choose the bar that you like best or is simply located closer to your location. For example, in one bar you can drink tequila for 150 baht, and in another - for only 69.

It is difficult to perceive the difference in terms of taste, perhaps there is none. Beer will cost on average 80-120 baht, shots – 70-150, cocktails – 120-200 baht. You won't be able to eat at the bar at night, since Thai chefs don't work after 11 p.m. If you've worked up an appetite, you can eat sandwiches and burgers from McDonald's, kebabs from street stalls, or just buy food at Family Mart and 7/11.

Patong - Bangla - entertainment

Many establishments offer entertainment, such as billiards. We warn you, especially the stronger sex, who want to get pretty tipsy and beat the miniature, fragile Thai girl who is offering to compete for money. Believe me, she, who has a nightly practice of playing billiards, perhaps for more than one month or year, will find it much easier to beat a tipsy visitor. So you will simply part with a large amount of money that can be spent on something else. For example, for the same alcohol or treats for someone with whom you can spend a pleasant time. The interesting thing is that almost every bar has a bell hanging over it, which creates real magic. All you have to do is go up to him, call him, give him 1000 baht and the bartender must pour drinks for everyone at the bar.

Bangla Road is full of go-go bars, in which girls dance around poles. True, they do this somewhat sluggishly, but as soon as you throw money at them, they become more active. The interesting thing is that the age of the dancers increases in direct proportion to how far you move away from the center Bangla Road. Get ready for the fact that right on the street you will be drawn to all sorts of Ping-Pong shows. They are presented as free, but this is only an appearance. Admission is free, but you must buy at least one drink. Ping pong balls aren't everything. Birds, fish, darts and more - there is something to see. However, photographing this entire event is prohibited.

Do you have a desire to dance in a crowd of the same “warm” club partygoers? Then you have a direct route to Seduction and Factory. If you receive a flyer, you will receive free alcohol. However, you will need to pay for entry. Of course, these are not the only establishments of this type. You can visit several for variety.

Who loves live music? If this is you, then you should definitely visit such an establishment, for example, an Irish pub called Scruffy Murphy’s. Here you can order any song from foreign performers and amuse your soul with music and your body with dancing. The musicians play, the soloists sing, in general, everything is as it should be. If you want to perform some famous track yourself, please – the guys are at your service. Just don't need any folk songs. No need to embarrass yourself. There is no such thing in the repertoire here, so choose something foreign and popular. By tradition, every Irish pub is equipped with TVs on which you can watch football, hockey or something like that. The atmosphere is quite pleasant and inviting.

There is another very original place where you should definitely go after a hot tropical day. A hot body can be thoroughly cooled down in the unique Ice Bar. The temperature here is always maintained within -5 degrees. You will be offered a drink from ice-cold glasses. Surprisingly refreshing! The principle of achieving temperature balance applies: raise the temperature inside, lower it outside – and you’re done! There is neither a feeling of cold nor a feeling of heat.

If you see a Wonder Pepelats, be sure to jump into it. This is such an interesting transport - a musical tuk-tuk. It not only allows you to get to your destination, but also has fun while listening to music.

So, it's worth summarizing. What is it like to relax on Bangla Road? The answer can be unequivocal: fun and interesting. Unforgettable impressions will remain in your memory (of course, if a hefty dose of alcohol does not “take away” these memories). In general, wherever you go, you will find entertainment everywhere. If you don’t want to participate in them yourself, you will definitely see a lot of exciting things. And remember: although it is relatively safe here, you still need to adhere to the norm in drinking alcohol and not get involved in places where it is not necessary. If you follow these simple rules, your vacation will be amazing!
