Patpong ping pong

[thailien8]

Re-visiting Patpong again, after all these years, I enjoyed a fantasy.  I first experienced Patpong in 1991, a few years after the real glory days.  But in the early '90s Patpong was still a lot of fun.  That was then, but sadly this is now.

 

Now, the street market rules, the few remaining agogos are Coyote shells of what was, Kangaroo has closed, Electric Blue is now a steakhouse, and the corporations are moving in.

 

But there is the big building at the Suriwong end of the two Patpongs.  The second floor of this building used to house Bangkok's biggest pool hall.  Good players, good atmosphere, good prices, good location... gone now

This building seems an empty shell.  On the ground floor facing Patpong One is a large empty space, with a high enough ceiling, big enough to easily accomodate two or three ping pong tables.  Ping pong, as in Table Tennis, a popular sport worldwide, especially in China.  

 

As I stared thru the glass at this vacant, unused space in a prime location, I enjoyed a favorite fantasy of mine.  

I fantasized a venue where table tennis / ping pong can be played.  These actually exist in farang countries, and even in Phnom Penh.  Why not in Thailand?

With cute uniformed Thai ball girls running around retrieving the customers' errant ping pong balls, or serving to play with customers who come alone, a first-class table tennis venue in such a great location could be popular, maybe even profitable.  Ping pong can be more fun than pool.

A big sign could advertise " Patpong Ping Pong ".

Definitely possible - the recent bar closures in the area have left a lot of ladyboys out of work.

Dude could have gone all day without bringing lady-boys into the visual...

I'm afraid that ship already sailed when he requested "Thai ball girls"...

The death of Patpong. I was there in the night market showing some USA company people 3 days ago. Sure is on its last legs. I remember the 90's and it was still a lot of fun. After 2000 it started to take a huge slide.

there are almost as many warnings for ripoff sex shows as there are for the gem scam....quite a feat....that didn't help those places, but like most of them, they are victims of sky high land prices.  still amazes me at how delusional, arrogant, and ignorant the foreign bar owners are.  Found one near me on the Google Reviews.  The main photo is of the owner sitting alone at a table in an empty place drinking a Leo on ice...I wonder who wrote the one review....let the good times roll!, but it ain't gonna be with me.

It could well be that the availability of porn, live shows and prostitution in home countries has a lot to do with it as well.
