Much like the beach and the cool modern shops, i can see why so many tourist are drawn to Patong, Phuket… especially Bangla Road. Over 200 hundred bars line the road. All shoved along the streets, venders and loud music make their presence known. There are around 6 Thai girls that work for each bar. Some places even hold raffles for who gets lucky enough to take a woman with them for the night. It’s hard, even as a woman to focus on the reason were here. Even in the day time, market workers try desperately for you to look at their merchandise. Beautiful colored hand bags, name brand clothing for cheap prices. It’s enough to distract anyone. But we were not there to shop. We were there to prayer walk. To see the redlight district during the day. When its completely unarmed and seen for how truly dark it is. Fully exposing the dirty bar stools and gross bottles. It helped seeing it for what it really was. A filthy, evil place.
