Bangkok, Nov 3 (EFE).- The notorious red light district of Patpong has grown from a tiny neighborhood in the Thai capital on the sidelines of the Vietnam War, from where United States intelligence officers would run their clandestine operations, into an international hub and destination for the global sex tourism industry.Its decades-long history is being brought to life for the first time at Patpong Museum, located down one of the neighborhood’s many narrow alleys that house hundreds of brothels, through press clippings, photographs, videos and original Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) documents.While the district might have lost the luster of yesteryear as the sex industry expanded into other parts of the city and the country, the museum’s owner Michael Messner predicts a brighter future.The museum traces the neighborhood’s development and evolution, from a banana plantation on the outskirts of the city in the 1950s to becoming the refuge and center of CIA operations during the Vietnam War and related operations in Laos.

One tour called 'Sex in the City' and led by journalist Ulrich Mattner allows visitors in the German city of Frankfurt to learn more about the red light district. But there's a catch - the tour is for women only. Mattner's connections to people working in the red light district make him the best man for the job. He takes his female tourists to visit different sex workers, from dominatrix specialists to strip bar managers. Sometimes his tour participants even get to see Mattner tied and whipped like a customer.
