It was a pleasure to visit Bangkok last week. A prestigious opportunity for me gathering within around 50 selected delegations from all around Asia countries discussing about corporate governance in State Owned Enterprises. But, let's skip the serious topic since I've provided a report on this here.
What I want to share here is the night life there. In my opinion, truly this is an opinion since my short time stay did not give me a lot information about whole Bangkok city. However I'm lucky to be in the right spot for the night life in Bangkok. I didn't know whether my colleague in purposely picking the hotel near to this place or it just simply a coincidence. I stayed two night in the hotel at Rama IV Road. Just a few block from Rama IV Road, it is Patpong Road. In this place, every night is party. A very right place for certain people who came to Bangkok for its entertainment.
I believe I will have no much time to buy souvenirs for my wife, family and colleagues. As I saw the map that few block from my hotel, Patpong Road, a place for buying some souvenirs is exist. I walk alone heading Patpong Road, and within only five minutes walked, the patpong Road is already in front of me. Once I arrived in the front of the Road, truly I am shocked with the views around me. I don't know whether they are men or women but absolutely they are dressing as women, well actually half dressed. Yes, this is Patpong Road the place that people said as a center of entertainment, a wild night life. There are some seller offering souvenirs, porno DVDs sellers who're seemingly afraid of selling their goods openly and other merchandise sellers. Even this is a very strange place for me but I tried to confidently walk through. My first intention was to buy souvenirs nothing others. For me it is enough to know that this kind of place available in Bangkok. I do think this place mixed between entertainment and prostitution.
In this place, everything illegal in Jakarta were seemingly so free. Can you imagine that a bar or something like that widely open for just sightseeing. They have a round table for the guests, and you know that in the middle of round table there are lot of women, half naked and dancing happily. Because the door is quite big and it is widely open, I can see all the activities there. A striptease parade are shown freely. Naudzubillah. Even maybe, somewhere in Jakarta, this kind of entertainment is also provided, I believe those kind of entertainment were not openly parade like in Bangkok. I think this is no difference with Red District in Holland.
Just a sharing experience, but this is meaningful for me. I don't think that Bangkok is better than Jakarta. I do even think that Jakarta much better. especially on this side, the night life.
