BANGLA WALKING STREET

            Bangla Road comes to life after sunset. The road is closed to traffic and becomes a 400-meter festival of neon lights, loud music, and cheap beer. Jammed most nights of the year, it is quite a friendly and lively place to walk around as bars and clubs compete with each other for customers. 

                Beer bars occupy most of the street's length, with several go-go bars and a few pubs, restaurants, discos and shops rounding out the attractions, both on Soi Bangla and down its side streets. Street performances are also common most nights, which can make dodging around the tailor shop salesmen, leaflet distributors, street vendors, and ping-pong show tours more difficult, but it is all part of the fun.
