There are three main red light districts in Bangkok, Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza, along Sukhumvit Road from each other, and Patpong (Southwest of Nana). The word Soi in Thai is a term used for a side street. Although you can get from one place to another in a taxi or Tuk-tuk, many prefer to use the BTS Trains. Soi Cowboy is located at Asok Station and Soi 4 is located at Nana Station, a few stops from each other.
===Soi Cowboy===
Soi Cowboy is a short (150 meter long) street in Bangkok, Thailand, with about 40 go-go bars. It runs between Soi 21 and 23. The first bar opened in Soi Cowboy in the early 1970s, but it was not until 1977 that a second bar opened on the street by T. G. TG "Cowboy" Edwards, a retired American airman. Edwards got his nickname because he often wore a cowboy hat and the soi was given its name in reference to him by longtime nightlife columnist Bernard Trink.
The go-go bars follow the pattern common in Thailand: alcoholic drinks are served and women in bikinis dance on a stage, usually with a number on them. There is topless and nude dancing. All the girls are escorts. You can buy them drinks and they will set and fondle you at your table. You can pay a barfine and take them back to your hotel for Short time (usually one hour or one pop) or Long Time 9usually until morning, but they will stay all week if you pay them). Some bars have grotty room upstairs where you can have sex ST if you don't want to take them to your hotel.
