In Bangkok one could find red light districts in places like Ratchada, Petchaburi, Patpong etc etc and one that stands out is probably Ratchada, some even call it the "dark side". But sex aside this area Ratchada is filled with good food and hotels and shopping and then there is this great night market that open from say 6pm till 5am. Situated off Ratchada its is known as Huai Khwang market.

Huai Khwang market really comes alive after 11pm when the girls working in the many massage palours and bath houses around Bangkok congregate in Huai Khwang market to eat, shop, goes to beauty salons, sit and gossip etc etc. I was there 2 weeks ago and took these photos hope you enjoy them

For real Japanese, I mean those high end flown direct from Japan twice a week type its less than half the price of Singapore. As for western food and wine I'd say its probably 30% to even half cheaper.

nice,

a good jap restaurant is where they grate fresh wasabi at your table,
a good french restaurant is where they grate truffle at your table,
a good italian restaurant is where they grate cheese at your table,
a good girlie bar is where they grate pussy on your lap.
