One way traffic flowing nonstop, candy shops, eat outs, Hotels,
shopping outlets on either side, A Street which seemed mostly like any other street
turns to an entirely different world as moon rises up in the sky. As the first
firework is lit up in the sky, Bangla Street awakens to create one more magical
night and that's when Patong's liveliest party zone is closed to traffic and
ready for action!
After exploring Phuket’s must see places, adventuring in
amazing sea, diving in phang nga there I was standing in Bangla Street to start my one more
of must do activities in Phuket and that was “A walk in the Bangla street”. This
Street is the most happening and one stop for exploring Night life in Phuket,
it caters to different kind of people, tourists interested in partying,
dancing, drinking, Massage indulgence, and the most famous very affordable one
night stands. It’s a spectacular display of colors, Attractive women dancing
around the pole, such crazy attractions drawing thousands of enthused visitors
from around the world each evening.
I am kind of nut who has no control when it comes to the
matter of exploring new things in new place, After all you may never visit the
same place again and so see everything that’s possible is my mantra. Totally
non conservative that I am, dragged my husband to this magical street during
our Thai trip. As we started walking from one end of the street to another
first thing that I noticed was that we were the only couple and not so
surprisingly only Indian couple, People came here in large groups especially
men who are cut loose and many pretty women who are fun mongers.
All around me were Bars tending thirsty tourists, loud
music, Beautiful bewitching women, Big Beer mugs, Hefty Bouncers and herds of tourists
on this street. One stop for quenching every sort of human thirst seemed to be this
street. Having said all these if only you want to see beyond those various
colors, smiles, and fleshes dancing in that red light street then take a
diversion from main Bangla Street to the side roads on this street.
As we took the street behind these Bars and Night Clubs, the
visuals I saw there remain stronger in my memory than what I saw on colorful
Bangla Street. I have no words to put across the thoughts that flooded in my
mind when I saw women dressed in bikinis praying in front of their holy idols,
some women taking medicines, some helping others to get dressed, some putting
their baby in to the cradle, some massaging other women to help them get over their
exhaustion, these were the women who danced elegantly, naughtily attracting
many tourists, eventually being sold for the night and whom most of us failed
to notice as human beings. As we reached end of this street bitchy smile,
flashy bikinis, naughty spanks had turned to compassion, love, need and
humanity.
A walk in the magical street was actually an emotional roller
coaster ride…
