subject: Patpong Night Market City That Never Sleeps [print this page] Patpong, based in Silom is more of an entertainment centred area than the rest of the towns in Bangkok. Patpong is also located within the official entertainment zones pronounced by the government therefore giving more opportunities for the growth of entertainment businesses. The history of the town is highlighted with street fairs, charity shows and the growth of clubs making it truly an entertaining town. Nick Nstitiz, the photographer, called Patpong the Bangkoks Twilight Zone for its glamour in the night. The increase in nightlife activities also paved the way for the Patpong Night Market which sets up shop after the sun goes down and carries on until well after midnight.
Patpong Night Market has a many shops offering a selection of varied items for all kinds of needs. The main attractions in the night market are the brandname items, CDs, DVDs, computer software, souvenirs, t-shirts, and other little bits and pieces in bargain prices. Among them are also Thai handmade items, games, items made of leather, and little trinkets. You will enjoy the excitement of heavy bargaining with the persistent shop owners and experience the works of local diplomacy. Surrounding the night market are the main clubs and pubs ranging from hip-hop clubs to live music pubs. Since the tourist arrival has increased in the recent years, many restaurants have opened up to offer a choice of Thai and other types of dishes. Patpong Night Market, with all its glory is an experience of a lifetime to any holiday maker or a backpacker.
Tourists arriving at Patpong with the anticipation of delving into the markets and clubs right away, generally make arrangements at a Bangkok serviced accommodation first. To enjoy Patpong and its colourful night life, it is best to look at serviced apartments in Bangkok which are just short distance from the entertainment and business areas of Silom and Sarthorn Road. Somerset Park Suanplu offers such accommodation giving the comforts and security of a private serviced residence.
