Party in Bangkok

The nightlife in Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, has traditionally had a reputation for rowdiness, but in 2011 it was reported that the city's crime rate had decreased.[1]

On weekdays, most of Bangkok's nightlife[2] takes places in the Red Light Districts of Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza.[3] Most venues outside of those areas are only open on weekends. Khaosan Road is another popular nightlife spot in Bangkok with mostly young backpackers roaming the streets.

Overview

The city's nightlife is the subject of the song One Night in Bangkok performed by Murray Head which includes the line: "One night in Bangkok can make a hard man humble". While the choruses extol Bangkok's reputation and exciting atmosphere in the song, the American in the music video would denounce the city, including its red-light district, "muddy old river" and "reclining Buddha". Bangkok is also well known for their massage parlors and the popular Eden Club; which offers "professional sexual services".[4] One of the few rules of the Eden Club is to take two ladies that are equally skilled in pleasuring each other as the male client.[5] Men can find sexual companionship amongst the local prostitutes.[4]

women can enjoy Bangkok safely and without any problems.[6] Drug violations are often handed out more severe penalties than in the Western world and statutory rape is completely frowned upon.[7][8]

Thailand is one of the most well-recognized centers of transgender and transvestite performance artists in the world. They are known as either

sex reassignment surgery along with having the highest standards of surgeons trained in performing operations of this kind.[10] Most of these performers already had breast implants and typically perform before completely transitioning into womanhood by undergoing surgery on their genitals.[10] All sorts of feminine legends are celebrated here from Hollywood divas to legendary female disco artists and even mythical creaturess from Thailand's glorious past.[10] These transgender people are accepted even in rural Thailand.[10] However, their genders are not legally recognized and suicide rates amongst ladyboy show performers are higher than the national average.[10]
