Cheeky side of Bangkok is international known for its wild nightlife so on my recent trip to Cambodia and Thailand I had to investigate, all in the interest of broadening my knowledge. There appear to be few long established locations where a plethora of adult entertainment venues vie for attenion from the many who flock there every night of the week. I headed for Nana Plaza, a diverse range of people from all walks of life are here to experience something most of us have never seen before.

I was curious to find out more about the infamous ping-pong, so I grabbed the TukTuk and headed off to Patpong. The show had already started by time I arrived but I soon settled in with a cocktail my eyes fixed to the stage. I had heard of ping-pong, but I had never expected to see the range of tricks undertaken by the ladies. It was still early evening and the crowd was just warming up. Cocktails flowed freely and and influx of new guests, both male and female, raised the atmosphere search that became more party like with more engaging with the ladies on stage rather than just viewing spectacle.

The various acts were choreographed on a loop so the sections of the show I missed earlier I got to see. The highlights for me where the ping-pong which I actually helped with by catching all the ping-pong ball balls in the buket, such fun, blowing out the candles, darting a balloon, opening a beer bottle.

One thing all the acts had in common was the strength of hte inner muscles, the pelvic floor. Without exceptionally strong muscles, none of these acts would be possible. I might consider this an extreme way to have a healthy pelvic floor but the message here is we could all do more to improve our health by warding off later in life issues such as incontinence and prolapses.

I was reminded about the lady in California who also demonstrages an incredibly strong pelvic floor by lifting such things as surfboards.

I reflected on the evenings entertainment whilst enjoying some late night Street food in Patpong before grabbing a tuk tuk back to the hotel. A memorable night that left me with a feeling of admiration and great respect for these emazing ladies. How strong is your pelvic floor? ;)
