Soi Cowboy Street. Bangkok, Thailand

Soi Cowboy Street. Bangkok, Thailand. 30 November 2022. Soi Cowboy is a short (150 meter long) street in Bangkok, Thailand, with some 40, mostly gogo bars. The gogo bars follow the pattern common in Thailand: alcoholic drinks are served and women in bikinis dance on a stage. There is topless or even nude dancing. The first bar opened in Soi Cowboy in the early 1970s, but it was not until 1977 that a second bar opened on the street by T. G. Cowboy Edwards, a retired American airman. Edwards got his nickname because he often wore a cowboy hat and the soi was given its name in reference to him by longtime nightlife columnist Bernard Trink. Subscribe:
