One Night in Patpong: The Secret Diary of a Bartender

Behind every drink is a secret. Behind every smile, a story.

In the heart of Bangkok’s infamous Patpong district, one bartender pours more than just whiskey—he pours out the stories no one else dares to tell. One Night in Patpong: The Secret Diary of a Bartender takes you behind the neon lights and into the souls of the people who pass through the bar’s faded doors.

From the girl who only drank ice water, to the boxer who couldn’t go home, to the tourist who laughed too loud and the monk who came searching for silence—this unforgettable collection of raw, human encounters reveals the quiet heartbreak, hope, desire, and dignity hidden in the shadows of the red-light world.

Told in haunting, intimate snapshots, this fictional diary based on real experiences will stay with you long after the last page—because some of the most powerful stories are the ones no one was ever meant to hear.

You don’t need to love bars to love this book. You just need to be human.
