Geylang vice scene update, May 08

The scene is about the same. The casinos and vcd stalls are still at the backlanes. Cigarettes pedlars are still at Lorong 14/Geylang Road junction. But now there are also some at the carpark at Geylang Road/Lorong 21 junction.

I also saw a Chinese woman selling medicinal products beside the New Cathay Hotel at Geylang Road/Aljunied Road junction. I went nearer and saw some blue pills in a pack of 4. Fake viagra most likely.


In the evening there are prostitutes at the carpark of a building at Lorong 22 (near Guillemard Road side). There were legal brothels at this building but I don't know if they have closed down or not. I also saw prostitutes standing at the backlanes behind the building. There is a fence but there is also an open gate. I think they bring their customers to use the rooms in the brothels in the building.


Nowadays in the afternoon there are very few prostitutes around. At night there are more but quality not so good. Now there are more prostitutes along Lorong 21 and they seem to have make a comeback around Starlight Hotel at Lorong 17.

Some pictures:
