Sexpats flock to the Kingdom in hopes of parking it at one of the many Red Light Districts in the country, most of which are found in the capital. Bangkok is no stranger to seedy nightlife, but certainly one of the most lively and thriving of districts is Soi Cowboy. Though many visitors frequent the area with every intention of trying out the merchandise, the area also welcomes wide-eyed tourists who just want to get of glimpse of what this road is all about. Prostitution in Thailand has been illegal since 1960, but this does not seem to have slowed these districts down. The street that makes up Soi Cowboy is only about 150 meters in length but is chock full of risqué bars, clubs, and more. The street is named after the man who opened up the first bar on the sleazy street in 1970. He was wearing a cowboy hat, and thus Soi Cowboy came to be.
