The Bangkok Nightlife Guide – Travel Tips For First Timers
As crazy as it may sound, I threw out the planned itinerary I created months before I arrived in Bangkok, Thailand, for the first time. Now I know what I did is counter intuitive to my title article summary. You see, Bangkok is a city of contrast beyond imagination. You expect the old; but pleasantly surprised to find the new. New buildings, new malls, and new condos that stand side by side with Buddhist temples centuries old. It’s a city with a modest people and culture, yet the red light districts show a distinct other side. Bangkok has lured millions of men from all over the world. And you can see them congregating in groups or alone, patrolling and gravitating to the famous nightlife areas of Patpong, Soi Cowboy, and Nana. There are more locations, of course. However, as a first timer to Bangkok, these are the best places to test the waters before you bravely dive off into the deep end.
First off, before I begin, I want to say that Bangkok’s raucous nightlife has much to offer in adult entertainment. The most infamous offerings is the sex for sale trade, sold mostly by woman from the North East province of Isaan. However, there are ways to have a good time without going down that road. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to judge. Everyone is entitled to their own decisions. I am, though, just suggesting that Bangkok is a party capital filled with ultra modern clubs, jazz bars, and other music venues that put western clubs to shame. Thus these types of entertainment venues should never be overlooked. You might even be surprised you have more fun without the funny stuff.
With that said, we’ll begin our short tour now with the red-light district of Patpong. Patong is situated between Silom Road and Surawongse Road, two major streets that you can’t miss because they are packed full of foreign tourists at night. Check out the Night Market where you will find cheap knockoffs of famous goods. Stay away from the Rolex — your friends at home can tell it’s fake. Patpong is infamous for the Ping Pong sex shows where woman launch… well, ping pongs out of their vagina at moving targets and audience members. You will also find many of the famous established go go bars with names such as Super Pussy, King’s Castle, and Queen’s Castle. Among the seedy bits, you can find a smattering of Irish Pubs such as Barbican, O’Reilleys, and Bobby’s Arm.
The next stop is Soi Cowboy, a block stretch of road filled to the rafters with go go bars, with names such as Long Gun and Rawhide. You should start a game with your friends to see how many ladies have tried to pull you into the establishments they work in. Though the smallest in size, Soi Cowboy still packs quite a punch. A kaleidoscope of bright lights and blaring music, Soi Cowboy is located on Asoke, centered near commercial buildings, as well as first rate hotels.
The final stop is Nana, or Nana Entertainment Plaza. A concentrated four story tribute to the sex and sin of Bangkok. In here you will find the most condensed cross section of go go bars and bars with freelancers. The ground floor is an open veranda jam packed with men from all over the world, jockeying for position in the search for company. It’s really a sight to see, and should not be missed.
All of the nightlife hot spots I’ve mentioned here are easy to find and get to, as all are located near Bangkok’s metropolitan train system. Even taxi drivers with limited English skill should understand once you say, Patpong, Soi Cowboy, and Nana. With so much to do and see, anyone in their right mind should start out with a plan. But, as you can see, sometime it’s best to toss out the plans, and just go with the flow. You just might end up having more fun. I certainly did.

ngô quang khải01- Rice harvesting machine.flv
Tôi đã gặp làm việc như một người lao động nông gạo gần đây, phải thu hoạch lúa cắt / sâu trong lãnh thổ Isaan.
Tôi đã học được rằng nông dân trồng lúa có một thời gian hạn chế, trong đó để thu hoạch lúa một lần đạt đến kỳ hạn thanh toán.
Một trở ngại là cây lúa khô một cách nhanh chóng và làm cho thu hoạch mùa thu qua nhiều khó khăn hơn.
Ngoài ra nếu mưa nặng nên đến gạo có thể bị hủy hoại.
Các nông dân, chiến đấu chống lại thời gian, thấy mình cần phải thuê mướn lao động để được giúp đỡ thu hoạch.
Việc cắt và đẻ ra khỏi bông lúa trong khu vực này dường như được làm bằng tay bằng cách sử dụng một cái lưỡi hái nhỏ.
Tiếp theo là tieing off bông lúa vào bó và đặt chúng vào một máy mà loại bỏ cuống và các mảnh vỡ rời khỏi túi gạo để vận chuyển.
Nó xuất hiện nông dân trồng lúa nhỏ trả tiền chủ sở hữu của máy như vậy để được giúp đỡ thu hoạch của họ như là đối với nông nghiệp quy mô nhỏ của họ là không kinh tế.
Tôi đang stumped để biết tại sao họ cũng không sử dụng máy móc để cắt lúa.
Hướng dẫn sử dụng scything của gạo là trở lại làm việc và có vi phạm manhours nhiều để hoàn thành.
Đó là máy móc thiết bị sẵn có và là chi phí có hiệu quả chống lao động giá rẻ?
Có thể một chủ sở hữu của thiết bị đó biến nó thành một nguồn thu tốt?
I’ve been experiencing working as a rice farm labourer lately, having to harvest/cut rice deep in Isaan territory.
I’ve learned that rice farmers have a limited time in which to harvest once the rice reaches maturity.
One obstacle is that the rice plants dry out quickly and fall over making harvesting much more difficult.
Also if heavy rain should come the rice can be ruined.
The farmer, battling against time, finds himself needing to hire labourers to assist with the harvest.
The cutting and laying out of the rice ears in this region appears to be done by hand using a small scythe.
This is followed by tieing off rice ears into bundles and placing them into a machine which removes stalks and debris leaving the rice bagged for transport.
It appears small rice farmers pay the owner of such a machine to assist with their harvest as their for small scale farming is not economical.
I’m stumped to know why they also don’t utilise machinery to cut the rice.
Manual scything of the rice is back breaking work and takes many manhours to accomplish.
Is such machinery available and is it cost effective against cheap labour?
Could an owner of such equipment turn it into a good earner?
