Walking down Bangla Road is a blur of neon lights and music blaring from the bars, clubs and pubs lining the street. It’s impossible to walk very fast, as every five metres or so you’ll be stopped by touts advertising drink promos and a variety of shows, most of them involving ping-pong balls – we’ll let your imagination and/or Google make out what’s involved.
If you’re not that into go-go bars, one of the highlights of Bangla Road is the street food. Bangla Night Market is tucked to the side of the main street. Here, you’ll discover a maze of street food stalls selling pad thai, grilled meats, fresh fruit juices and cheap beer.
Besides the street food, Bangla Road is also a surprisingly good spot for catching some live music. During our stroll down the walking street, a part of our group disappeared for a better part of an hour to hear a female singer performing down one of the smaller side-sois. Afterwards, they couldn’t stop gushing about how great she was. In between the beer halls and “exotic” shows, there’s live music happening even on Bangla Road, where one of the most famous spots for live bands is Monsoon.
