Patpong 3

Some establishments in Patpong employment kathoeys (or "ladyboys") either exclusively or as part of mixed-sex employees. In contrast to the kathoey bars in Nana Plaza, Patpong, many employees of these bars postoperative transsexuals.

With one or two exceptions, the gay bars in the Patpong area is not go-go bars, but simply traditional gay bars, such as telephone and balcony, which are designed for both Thais and tourists. Commercial gay oriented go-go bars are mainly in the Surawong road or in a small street leading Soi Pratuchai Surawong.

Today, however, there are indications that some of Patpong refuse sex and to provide other forms of entertainment. Currently there are number of bars with live music, which attract regular Thais and tourists, as well as a number of very good restaurants.
