The Seedier side of Bangkok

Today it is on to the seedier side of Bangkok for me - the figths and the ladies. Seeing that I am in Bangkok, I thought I had to at least see Soi Patpong I and its naughtier side street Soi Patpong II. Anyway, checked out the streets while it was still broad daylight. For some of my Christian friends who will never find out but are still curious, the opening price for a full body massage plus additional services is 1500 Baht. That is before haggling. I didn't want to find out how low it can go. You'll have to ask someone else. Anyway, just wanted to see the place because it is famous. A lady who was touting her workers was asking me why I would walk down Patpong if I didn't want to see (and for 'free'). A good question that I didn't answer.

Also, decided to go see some Thai boxing at the stadium. Seems like on Tuesday nights they have the big fights. I wanted to buy the middle stadium tickets at 800 Baht but was advised against it by the ticket seller. She said those are the seats where all the gamblers are and she was right. Anyway, I got the ringside seats for 1500 Baht. Not cheap but quite an experience. At the end of the day I was so tired. Maybe I should have used the 1500 for something else.
