Lot of the classic go-gos have closed or changed, and the night market is more tourist-focused than before
Still a few decent bars with live music, but it’s nowhere near the wild scene it was 10-15 years ago. And yeah, the area feels a bit quieter and less vibrant overall. I agree, with land that prime, redevelopment seems inevitable at some point, but for now, Patpong holds on to its old charm, just in a more subdued way. If you want nightlife with a bit more energy, places like Sukhumvit or RCA might be better bets these days
