A G-rated daylight walk down this infamous street, made famous during the Vietnam War era.  Now a shadow of its former self, the old red lady ain't what she used to be.  It used to be THE place for dining, illicit pharmaceuticals, movie rentals, "shows" and pretty much any form of hardcore entertainment.   
It's not totally dead. At night, it still shows a bit of its former self with bright lights, street vendors hawking sleazy wares, "professionals" and all.  
Patpong 1 & 2 are small, short streets nestled between 2 large roads in an area that has historically been a major business district.  
These streets are located in the "Love District".  Seriously, that's its official name.  A much more subtle reference: if you look carefully at the road sign, in the background is a streetlight shaped like a gourd or pumpkin.  The Thai word for gourd sounds exactly like our "F" word.  Coincidence?
