With one of my good friends in town as well as Claire, I felt it was a good chance to have a look at ‘all-sides’ of Bangkok, so we headed off to one of the sex-tourism areas.
On Soi 5, near Nana BTS station is the ‘Nana Entertainment Complex’. It’s a three storey, courtyard/dead-end street surrounded on all sides by brothels, strip joints, and brothel-bars.
The courtyard, and front of the ground floor is the preserve of bars, in which you could easily meet the women of your night. Fat white men with bum-bags abounded, many with young women paying them attention within minutes. At the table close to where we settled for a drink we saw a man, in an American university t-shirt, playing Connect Four with one of the girls (Connect Four-play), and being rewarded for winning. Back from the front bars and on other floors exist the strip joints, and women with numbers on their bikinis from whom you can place orders.
We stayed for a drink, decided that we’d learnt enough, and left.
