Cowboy Street (Soi Cowboy) in Bangkok, Thailand

The most colorful street and the best entertainment place in Bangkok. Soi Cowboy or Cowboy street is a short street in Bangkok, Thailand, with some 40, mostly go-go bars. It caters mainly to tourists. Soi Cowboy contains one of the three largest groups of foreign-oriented bars in Bangkok, the other two being Patpong and Soi Nana Tai.
Soi Cowboy was named after the cowboy hat-wearing African-American who opened the first bar here in the early 1970s. This red-light district has a more laid-back, carnival-like feel to it than Patpong or Nana Plaza. Flashing neon lights up a colourful streetscape of 20 or so go-go bars that line its sides.
Soi Cowboy is just next to Terminal 21, a very popular new shopping mall.
