Sala Daeng BTS is the stop for Patpong and Soi Thaniya, and everything within a kilometre is packed into a very small area. The closest venue is under a hundred metres from the station at Thaniya Plaza, and the furthest is still less than half a kilometre away, in this Bangkok map sample.
The streets split into three. Soi Thaniya has long served Japanese visitors, and Japanese reviewers still mention it for clear billing. Patpong 1 and Patpong 2 hold the go-go bars, including one with a Muay Thai show, and the night market. Surawong Road along the far side has a few massage shops. Only a handful of massage places and a few go-go bars are here in all, so the choice is narrow but close together.
An evening stop
The posted schedules favour evening visits. Most venues open at seven or eight in the evening and close between midnight and two in the morning. Only a couple of massage shops keep daytime hours, one opening at eleven and running until midnight, another from noon until ten at night.
Know the bill before you pay
The go-go bars on Patpong draw the sharpest reviews in the area. Reviewers describe being pushed to pay at the door, drinks that seemed watered down, a double charge on the bill, and in one case staff taking money from a visitor's hands. Check the total on every bill before you hand over any money. The massage reviews are calmer: one reviewer praises full-length sessions with strong pressure, while another says a ninety-minute session ended at seventy.
