But there are ladyboys hookers in Bangla Road, who will offer you their services as you walk down the road.
You can also find a couple of ladyboys hanging out in beer bars like at Tiger nightclubs, or in the Sois around Bangla Road (Soi Freedom and Seadragon).

The Streets
While Bangla Road is enough to overwhelm you, there are also a couple of streets or sois that spill out from the main strip.
These streets or alleys have their charm and vibes that you may not want to miss.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the streets off Bangla Road.
Soi Seadragon
Soi Seadragon is a lively alley close to the beach end of Bangla Road.
The soi is packed with gogo bars and beer bars where you can drink and chat (or more) with the bar girls.1

Soi Gonzo
