There is most assuredly a red light district in Bangkok, Thailand, which is predominately Buddhist. I went just to see it and left rather quickly as the energy there did not resonate with me.

That ' Energy ' feeling ' in certain places can be rather nauseating. Pattaya is often
called The Modern City of Sodom and Gomorrah.....

I realize that. That kind of stuff is not legal/allowed. If caught, there are severe penalties.

It is interesting to see what happens when the Police show up......

The "red light district" was quite open when I was there years ago and a veritable tourist attraction in Bangkok. As I mentioned previously, I did not stay long because of the low energy ... but I was curious to see it nonetheless.

On the other hand, when I went to "Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon" in Ayuthayya (Thailand), the energy was so awesome that I was completely absorbed in a meditative state. From the pinnacle, one could see nothing but Buddhas in every direction. No matter which way one looked, all one could see was Buddhas.

                        and then, if you look hard enough, you
                            will see Hinduism's Supreme God,
                                              Trimurti.

Yes it is.

I had a hard time buying some of these statues.
My 'accent' made it hard for sales people to understand me.

In one predominate Buddhist country, Trimurti is looked upon by Buddhists as a God of LOVE. I found it interesting how 'things' change. In this case, from being the Supreme God in the Hindu belief system to that of being the God of Love and the one who will help you with Love issues.
