Patpong 'on its last legs' 117 Sex workers surviving on handouts as Coronavirus drives away trade published : 7 Mar 2021 at 04:00 117 Pawan Leewajanakun, 33, a male prostitute and sex-worker rights activist, boosted his income by taking in private customers via an online platform, rather than relying solely on the bar in Patpong. The vivid lights of Patpong Road are slowly ebbing away as many bars and clubs cannot keep their heads above water. Many bars are taking their last gasps of air amid an economic slump caused by the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic last year. On Feb 22, the Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) allowed the reopening of entertainment venues as well as pubs and bars in almost all provinces except Samut Sakhon, where alcohol drinks can be sold until 11pm.
