2 Donna Bar

Jomtien Complex
(inside in the middle)

Opened August 2007

Review from connections of Two Donnas, March 2008: Very Welcoming

The two partners are Joy and Dow who are at the bar every day and night, they will sit down and introduce themselves to all new customers and are not shy about buying a drink (or accepting one!!). Both are pretty well known in Jomtien and seem to know everyone that comes in or passes the bar.

No pool table but all the live English Premier League games are shown.

Prices are lower than most bars, (except next door where drinks are almost given away) beer 50-70 baht, shorts pretty cheap and lady drinks are the standard 90 baht.

Loads of girls, 15 at the moment, nothing too stunning, but a few are pretty cute all can talk English, some young some not so young and one Katoey, all the girls are pretty good crack and up for a laugh, especially if you go inside the bar and close the doors.....

The younger cute ones disappear most night before 10.00 so get there early for a better choice

Barfines are the standard 300 baht, no ST rooms but the girls will take you round the corner if you want,

Verdict, nice atmosphere good reasonable priced drinks and a good bunch of girls with two owners who will make you very welcome.

I've just got back from Jomtien and stayed in Soi 4. My local become Aeuws bar Soi 4.

It's a small friendly bar, no food but a Thai takeaway kitchen next door will bring you food at next to nothing prices.

The drinks are very reasonable Finlandia vodka and mixer 90 baht.

The punters are mainly Norwegian expats and very friendly after a few drinks especially if your a Brit.

The lady boss Aeuw is a lovely lady and makes you very welcome. As the evening wears on drinks appear for every one on your table and the girl points to some other table which bought them. Nice custom reminded me of Greek tavernas.

Review from Pattaya Rag , Oct 2007: Massive Stable

Amazing Paradise Bar has a massive stable of girls and flat screen TVs. Not sure which there was more of....

The majority of lookers were pulling punters in from the street and sadly that's what they continued to do once we were in the bar. Company in the bar was provided by a more mature group of ladies. We managed to grab the sofas by the entrance and it was a good vantage point for watching the girls out front and the girls passing by.

Don't want to appear fussy but I would rate only 3 or 4 of the girls as being worthy of my dosh.

Review from Dick Farang, April 2015: As in Bikers Place

At the previous location of Bamboo Bar on Soi Khao Noi Angels Place has opened.

It has become more a kind of a bikers' place.

In the open-air bar the sofas near the street have been replaced with high tables and bar stools and everything still smelled the fresh paint.

There were a cashier who was not available and a fatty and two oldies who used to work at Bamboo Bar before. At the rear of the complex is still a (mostly empty) beer garden.

Barfine (room included) still 300 baht.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht from 70 baht before.

Aqua Deymie

Soi Neun Pleub Wan
Soi Banlang Soi 12 (right fork of Soi Nern Plab Wahn Soi 47)

From 1pm

Another bar established by the people that brought you the noted Dao Bar. Complete with swimming pool. The pool is overlooked so maybe not for the naughty stuff. Listing confirmed in February 2024.

Review from Dick Farang, April 2017: Water adverse

Not much has changed at Aqua Deymie on Soi Nern Plab Wahn Soi 47/Soi Banlang Soi 12.

The outdoor swimming pool was still deserted and probably only suited as a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Everybody was locked up in the air-conditioned darkness.

The females were unremarkable at best and only interested in lady drinks. Their attitude was worse than that of state officials.

I was reluctantly told that the ST bar fine (room included) was 350 baht with 1,000 baht for the provider.

Lady drinks 119 baht (standard) and 135 baht (beer).

They still sell imported (mostly Belgian) beers at 240-260 baht. Bottled Heineken 95 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, April 2014: Water adverse

Yesterday I visited Aqua Deymie.

As usual most girls (some young spinners there) were sitting inside and not keen on using the outdoor swimming pool.

At the back are several ST rooms.

Bottled Heineken 85 baht.

Lady drink (also bottled beer) 120 baht.

ST bar fine (including room) 300 baht,

Belgian beers (Kwak, Orval, Kasteel, etc.) over 200 baht.

Exact location of Aqua Deymie is Soi Banlang Soi 12 (right fork of Soi Nern Plab Wahn Soi 47).

Note from Dick Farang, April 2014: Belgian beer

The next best selection of Belgian beers after Mai Lu Si in Soi Buakhao is at Aqua Deymie on the Dark Side, which has a fridge with a transparent door for them.

Aqua Deymie seems to be owned by a French language Belgian, Alan. There are family connections to Blu Cat Bar.

Comment from Pattaya-Live, June 2013: Thumbs Up

Counted 11 girls, only 2 playing with their phones. A couple of customers, nice atmosphere, thumbs up

Review from Billy Baht, January 2013: Good and Bad

Very nice bar, well appointed, clean and air conditioned.

My visit was around 8 pm and I was promptly waited on and received a cold San Mig Lite at a very reasonable 59 baht.

I ordered another beer and the girl asked me for a lady drink. I politely declined and she sapped Pai leury keeneoaw! Get out cheap charlie! I pretended not to notice and ignored her. Another girl came over I bought her a lady drink and was tempted to take her short time, but truth be told, the comments from the little bitch put me off, so I check binned and left.

Pity management has spent so much to equip a very nicely laid out bar but then allow some girls to abuse customers.

News June 2012: Late Happy Hour

The bar has bottled beer at 39 Baht and lady drinks at 69 Baht from 8pm until close. However the lady drink offer is limited to sniff of beer. A more substantial lady drink is 120 Baht. Barfines are 500 Baht LT, 300 Baht ST.

Noted as a forum favourite. Bottled beer at 50 Baht for Tiger in Happy Hours and 70 Baht later

Review from Pattaya-Live Jan 2010: One of the Better Open Bars

A busy bar and so are a few of the bars either side of it. It has quite a few girls in the bar, probably around 20, some good lookers amongst them. A no hassle bar in terms of lady drinks .

Good afternoon happy hour prices, but the place doesn't really come alive until the evening when the girls come on duty. Happy hour prices 45 Baht for bottle of Singha.

One of the better open air bars in town.

Review from Pattaya-Live May 2008: Good prices and friendly girls

The girls there are always friendly and enjoy just playing the games and trying to entice a farang to take them home. They are however choosy and the mama does not pressure them to leave with anyone. Good prices and friendly girls what more is there to ask for?

Review July 2006: Watching Out For Own Goals

I randomly selected the bar for a bit of World Cup viewing. I chatted a while to a friendly Australian but he departed in search of an Australian Rules football match rather than the World Cup.

England were being a little boring so I opted for a bit of people watching. The girls seemed to be enjoying themselves watching the game, chatting or playing the dice game behind the bar. They were a distinctly average crew but there were four decent looking girls that were posted as welcome girls.

I spent some time looking out for some potential customers to walk past and to be 'welcomed in'. I was wondering whether the attractive welcome girls would pair off with the newcomer or whether the newcomer would just be dumped with the average girls behind the bar. (And then he would, no doubt, take one beer and leave pronto).

My theory will have to wait for another day though...there simply were no customers to be seen. When it started raining cats & dogs I had to abandon the research and return to the strikerless England display.

Comments from Dick Farang, March 2017: Observations

At Bamboo Bar on Pattayatai near Walking Street I noticed the following:

All male customers appear to be farangs and I saw a group of people of dark complexion holding hands being denied entry.

I guess that the same group of people will be welcomed with open arms to Tony's Entertainment Complex on Walking Street, now renamed Endorphin.

At Bamboo Bar (and also on Beach Road for that reason) I have talked to a number of girls who appeared to come from Cambodia, Laos or Vietnam, most probably on tourist visas. I wonder which issues (if any) can possibly arise with those perhaps more hardened pro apparently freelancing illegally, apart from theft that is.

Review from Dick Farang, January 2017: Easy going

Bamboo Bar on Pattayatai near Walking Street appears to be a real gold mine. It is always crowded from early on, with most Thai females arriving between 10 p.m. and 11 p.m.

Live music, mostly hits from the previous century such as My Way , and a dance floor in front of the singers and orchestra.

A lot of mature birds there (but not all) and many of them heading for the Walking Street discos later at night, often in teams of two or three.

Going fees are 1,000 baht ST and 1,500-2,000 baht LT, no barfine.

It is hit or miss if you will find a girl who fits the bill, but the easy-going atmosphere helps with the vetting and I have never met a starfish there.

The Pattaya Beer Garden formula however does not seem to work well, probably because punters cannot as casually roam there.

No "check bins" at Bamboo Bar, but immediate payment.

I presume they apply dual pricing with Thais paying much less. Some Thai females (probably the more hardened pros) are drinking alcopops or sharing bottles of Thai spirits, but the majority are sparingly nursing their still water, soda water or coca cola.

If you pay with a 1,000-baht note the waiter or waitress will give you a plastic badge as proof of payment until they bring the change.

That being said I have made it a habit of always carrying enough small cash and changing the higher denominations at trusted places such as restaurants, supermarkets and the post office.

Bottled Heineken 140 baht.

Review June 2009: More Tables

The bar has changed format a little by putting tables on the dance floor. Said to be a cheaper licensing regime for bars without a dance floor

Review from pattayasecrets.com February 2009: Price Hike

It is reported on the forums that the bar has come under Russian influence perhaps explaining the hike in beer prices to 140 Baht per bottle.

Still crowded though with crammed in seating and aging free lancers. Must be doing something right though. Especially if they can get away with a toilet fee.

February 2006:

The Thai girls really love this place as the band often plays Issan love songs which they really get into. It's certainly not an ear blasting go-go or disco and would probably be best described as a cabaret venue. I really enjoyed my visits here as I could always have a conversation with the the lady I was with, but I must admit to cringing a few times when the resident Thai band attempted a cover version of a well known western song - Their rendition of the Beatles "Hey Jude" is just one memory that comes to mind

December 2005:

For the older members or for those who like older mature ladies. The music not bad but not load like it should be for a disco. The ladies are performers in the bedroom!!!!

The Barking Frog

Soi Siam Country Club
(the very last bar at the eastside of Mabprachan Lake)

Beer bar and restaurant.

Review from Dick Farang, August 2014: The Last Bar

The Barking Frog is the very last bar at the eastside of Mabprachan Lake, off Soi Siam Country Club.

The nearest bar further on, if you continue some five kilometres along the northern side of Mabprachan Lake, is the White Oyster Bar.

When I arrived some Thai men were drinking Thai spirits and soda outside and some Thai children were playing. I found this rather disturbing, but after this expedition to the Dark Side's Ushuaia, I urgently needed a pit stop.

The Barking Frog is a rather primitive building with a bar area at the left side and a restaurant or rather a snack bar at the right side.

Inside the bar were a forty year old girl who was friendly enough and three younger lazy McDonald's creatures. As is popular at the Dark Side, they were playing music from YouTube.

For those interested: barfine 300 baht, no ST rooms.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht.

Previously a short time but taken over by new owners in June 2016 and converted into an open bar.

Prices November 2016: Cheap

The bar doesn't offer available ladies but does offer bottle Chang at 59 Baht

News, July 2016: Making a bee line for the other side of the road

The bar has been converted to an open bar. It seems to have been taken over by the people who previously had the popular Soi 6 Corner Bar on the opposite corner, before the building was redeveloped into an empty space.

Reader review, Dec 2006: Bee There

A few changes seem to have occurred in this bar over the last year. The main one is a stock of new pretty girls. The general atmosphere in the bar definitely seemed different from all other bars down the street when I visited it.

The staff are polite and friendly. Drinks are very reasonably priced. You can go and have your fun nearby with your new "friend" then come back and relax in the bar and even have a game of pool on the nice slate-bed table.

If you want to listen to your favourite song you can be your own DJ on the computer disco system. It's definitely worth a visit even if you only want to play pool against their resident Thai lady pool hustler. She will out-drink and out-play you time and time again!

Bier Stuble

Pattaya Soi 7

Restaurant and bar that has an annual closure period in low season.

Note from Dick Farang, January 2016: Noisy

When eating at Bier Stüble you can 'enjoy' blaring music from both sides: Bailey's and Silver Star 2 A-GoGo.

Review from Dick Farang, November 2014: Cosy

One of my favourite restaurants in Pattaya is German owned and long established Bier Stüble on Soi 7.

(Bier means beer and Stüble is a diminutive of Stube , a cosy room; " herein in die gute Stube " means something like "welcome to my place").

With a bit of luck you can hear the "beat" of their neighbours Silver Star 2 A-GoGo.

They have excellent soups, such as Linsensuppe (German style, not Indian or Arab style, green lentil soup), Nudelsuppe (German style, not Thai style, noodle soup with scrambled eggs) and Leberknödelsuppe (liver dumpling soup), a typical Bavarian dish.

Among their main dishes are Sauerbraten (marinated, braised beef) with Rotkohl (red cabbage) or salad and Spätzle (typical egg and flour noodles) or potatoes, and Kaßler (slightly smoked, slightly brined, steamed pork loin) with Sauerkraut (fermented white cabbage) and mashed potatoes.

If you order Sauerbraten the waitresses will ask you what you want it with; they have a strange way of pronouncing the word Rotkohl .

Do not hesitate to ask mustard with the Kaßler .

Note that this restaurant is closed in low season for about three and a half months. The owner leaves for Europe in the second half of May and comes back to Pattaya in the first half of September.

The staff are a very friendly bunch.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht, German beers 110-200 baht, soups 110-120 baht, Kaßler 220 baht, Sauerbraten 250 baht.

Comment from Dick Farang, November 2014: Still Going

Billion Beer Bar on Soi 13/3 (Pattayaland 1) still exists, but as I saw only a fatty (one) sitting there I was not inclined to have a beer there.

News Dec 2006: Going Up

Now 600 Baht all in

Review by Swanks, Sept 2006: Best Bargain in Patts

Sometimes a bar "Comes into its own" Almost by accident really!

Billion suddenly has been transformed from a 'no hoper' into a very nice and welcoming watering hole! I do suspect it is more by accident than design, but it really has a lot going for it now!

Drinks are not 'rock bottom' but ok! Lady drinks not anywhere near Walking street prices!

But the policy of just charging 500 baht at the bar for girl and room must make them one of the best bargains in Patts! Tip the girl if you want to but it doesn't seem to be expected and the
girls are just as good as anything I have seen on Soi 6!

The whole place has a nice 'Pub' atmosphere and you can enjoy a relaxing drink at the bar and chat to the 'Chinese' owner and mamasan, and stroke her small dog which often sleeps on the counter! The mutt has an uncanny facial resemblance to her but don't tell her I said so!

If it gets on your nerves, sort of, give it a bit of a shove! Just tell mamasan it fell! Lands on all 4 paws like a cat!

I'm going to get the little sod pissed next week! It's sort of taken to me now so it should be a laugh!

Enjoy!

The Bird Cage

Soi Khao Talo
( upper end of Soi Khao Talo on the corner of Soi 13 )

Beer bar, still going in September 2014.

Review from jj, May 2011:

Bird Cage thankfully did not follow the lead of the movie of the same name. All 7 of the staff seemed to be the real thing although one was questionable.

Newly open in April 2011, not much happening as yet. Has seating for only about 10 punters at bar and two tables. Pool table takes up most of the floor space. Should consider putting a sofa against the back wall.

Ladies were friendly (LD 80 baht) if a bit over the hill. Of course, often with age comes experience but hopefully not boredom. The two gals playing pool were totally inept so it seems that a punter could make a few points if he knows his way around a table.

Discreet location could be a plus as soon as they find their niche. Off road parking in rear. ST room(s) upstairs.

From BJ3, April 2007: Cold Beer

The bar is on Soi Diamond right on Walking Street. Thip(Tip), the owner is a wonderful lady and runs a very low key operation.

The beer is always cold, fairly priced, and the ladies are very friendly and never hound you for lady drinks.

BJ's Beach Club

Thappraya Road
Jomtien (near beach)

Beer bar opened 30th October 2007

News Oct 2006: New

There's a new bar on Thappraya Road a few paces from Dong Tan police station.

The Beach Club is owned by the same individual that owns BJ3, Lucky Star, and a host of other bars and GoGo's. It is managed by Mike.

The Beach Club is an open air bar with friendly staff, very friendly prices and good music played at a reasonable volume.

The theme of the bar is unique and we hope to become the home of those looking for something just a little different than the normal beer bar.

Daily drink specials, free wireless internet, and pool tables, will round out the fun at the Beach Club.

The Black Sheep

Soi Khao Noi
(eastern end)

New Zealand owned bar. New for 2009. Changed hands in mid 2012.

Free pool table and bottled beers around the 50-60 mark. Plenty of girls most days and can be fun in the bar.

Review from Dick Farang, August 2014: Sporadically ST

The Black Sheep is the last bar on the left hand side of Soi Khao Noi before the entry gate of Wat Bunyasamphan when coming from Sukhumvit Road.

Before I had never seen interesting or interested girls there, but this time there was a threeholer, Mam, who had worked at German owned Ying Bar on Soi Lablae off Soi Nern Plab Wahn. She was 35 years old and not particularly beautiful and had her back full of Buddhist tattoos, but she knew how to deliver the goodies and seemed to really enjoy her job.

Barfine (including the ST room) was 300 baht.

The ST room on the first floor was very spacious with also a sofa in it; the bathroom was separate. I think there was another ST room on the second floor, but as at most bars at the Dark Side ST rooms seem to be used only very sporadically.

I think that most punters only come for drinking beer and playing pool.

Bottled Heineken was 50 baht (happy hour).

Note March 2014: Evenings only

The bar seems to be lacking any girls in the afternoon

Review from jj, April 2013: The Exception to the Rule

Just before Songkran, the Darkside seemed to be suffering a slowdown with many ladies returning home for the festival.

The exception was BLACK SHEEP on Soi Khao Noi. There seemed to be a full complement of ladies and they were working hard to please the steady stream of customers.

Word must be passing about that this is the place to be in these pre-Songkran days. A tip of the hat to the ladies there.

News from inpattayanow.com March 2013: Back to Business

Some while ago a sale had been agreed but it dropped through with courts getting involved. The upshot is that Black Sheep is now back in the possession of the original Kiwi owner, Paul.

The bar has been completely refurbished and an entirely new staff has been employed. Business has apparently been brisk since then.

News from John, July 2012: Not Happy

The bar has just changed hands, everything was great till I got the check bin and they had overcharged me. I pointed this out in a good way. It took three attempts to get it corrected and I didn't even hear an apology.

I have been there many times in the past and 4 times this month I left the usual 20 baht tip, not happy, I sat with two ladies who I bought two drinks each. I gave them 100 baht tip to share and they weren't happy either. I will go somewhere else.

News June 2012: Closed due to a legal dispute

The girls have moved to Kik bar

Black Snake Club

Soi Buakhao
(south)

Facebook Page

Black Snake Club is located towards the southern end of Soi Buakhao.

It started life as a boy bar for the ladies but became a coyote bar with ladies in early 2020.

It closed quite quickly for a little rework, notably to install a central stage.

The bar re-opened after the modifications, still as a mostly girl coyote bar

Reports from the initial opening as a girl bar confirm that it was not quite 100% girl, and there was a dangly bit too many.

Black Swan Bar

Soi Khao Noi
(opposite Soi Khao Noi Soi 9)

Angel Bar Beer became Black Swan Bar by January 2016.

Update from Dick Farang, February 2018: Prices

Their price for an ST bar fine (room included) is still 350 baht. A still water is 45 baht and a non-alcoholic lady drink (pineapple juice on the rocks) is 100 baht.

Update from Dick Farang, November 2017: Prices

At Black Swan Bar on Soi Khao Noi, bottled Heineken is 85 baht now and the ST barfine (room included) 350 baht; lady drinks (also Singha Light et al.) are still 120 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, January 2016: Dirty Duck

Angel Bar Beer on Soi Khao Noi opposite Soi 9 has changed hands once again and has become Black Swan Bar.

The music was a bit loud for a closed beer bar and of the four girls I saw, two were totally uninterested.

Barfine 300 baht ST. The ST room upstairs is no longer used, but they do have a not particularly cosy, free room about 100 metres up the soi.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht, lady drinks 120 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, October 2014: Beware

BEWARE: Last time I visited Blue Cat Bar on Soi Khao Talo Soi 9 there were only ladyboys inside, with the exception of the cashier that is.

I will never understand the rationale behind creating confusion by hiring girls and transvestites at the same bar (such as their neighbours KiK and USABAR also do) or gogo (such as Miami A-GoGo on Soi Post Office and We Are No 1 A-GoGo in Jomtien).

Facebook Page

Guest House, Bar & Restaurant. Previously The Village Inn

Review from Dick Farang, December 2014: Stuffed Deer

The Blue Lagoon (not to be confused with the defunct Blue Lagoon A-GoGo behind the Best Friends bar complex on Beach Road) is a small bar located in a private village named The Village on Third Road opposite the fire station and about 100 metres south of Buffalo Bar (see Enclosures).

Depending on the class some villages in Pattaya are strict gated communities , in some villages (food) vendors are banned, at the entrance to some villages farangs driving a car will probably not be stopped but Thais riding motorbikes or tricycles will and in some villages anybody can venture around no questions asked.

The Village on Third Road clearly belongs to this last category and even its communal pool with a small open bar is directly accessible from the pavement of Third Road.

Many Scandinavians are living at The Village and along its main soi are some small bars/snack bars, The Blue Lagoon being the last one, on the left-hand side at the end of this main soi.

In front of The Blue Lagoon is a mini swimming pool and the inside of the bar is dominated by a stuffed deer head at the wall.

The Blue Lagoon is Swedish owned and outside three Swedes including the owner and one Norwegian were drinking shots of dum-dum (a dark mixture smelling like aniseed kept in a Coca Cola bottle in the fridge and probably containing ouzo or pastis and Kahlua; think of dum = black ).

The only girl I have seen and talked to was the 39-year old cashier from Ubon.

The drink prices were at gentlemen's club level, but the snacks appeared to be more democratically priced.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht, dum-dum shot 80 baht, daily special (food) 99 baht.

Bar Tale from Lean, December 2010: Happy Customer

In October 2010, I had the distinct pleasure of BF'ing the sweetest, sexiest 19 year old in Pattaya at Bodega bar. They charged an extra 50B. Tall, lean, cute, farm-fresh from Issan... Man, I hit the jackpot, repeated with her for 2 more nights. I'll look for her, if she's still there, on my return to Pattaya in Jan 2011.

(4km from Sukhumvit)

brassmonkeypattaya.com

New for 2013.

Review from Dick Farang, May 2014: Not Cold Enough

Explored during the heat of the day due to curfew.

The Brass Monkey is a rather spacious bar on Soi Nern Plab Wahn, about 100 metres before the Riverside Bar, also at the right hand side when coming from Sukhumvit Road.

It is owned by a Dutchman from Amsterdam, Jack.

They also sell Dutch and Indonesian snacks, such as gehaktbal and bamischijf .

The bar seems to be popular with Dutch and Belgian expats.

Bottled Heineken was 75 baht.

(I got one extra beer on the house because the owner thought the beer was not cold enough, but for me it was OK.)

There was only one girl who could catch my fancy, but she completely ignored me ... until I left.

Jomtien Soi 6

Jam sessions Sunday nights

Shophouse bar with live music, no hostesses

From the bar, Feb 2006: Jamming

The Bristol Music Bar is situated in a quiet Soi on Jomtien Beach Road, It’s main attraction is hosting a Jamming Session each and every Sunday from 7:00pm where anybody can bring an instrument and have a Jam with like minded musicians. The Bar supports the Camillian Society based in Rayong who care for children with HIV and Aids and so far since September 2006 have raised over 120,000 Baht.

The Bar, during the week is where a visitor or Expat can come and relax without the Hassle associated with other bars as they do not employ “Ladies” to take care of you. Come and have a game of chess / backgammon and listen to some of their 200 music DVD’s and or watch major sports events with their in house satellite system supported by 4 TV’s around the bar.

Beer Chang is sold at 45 Baht. This bar is a great place to go to if you would just like to chat and not be hassled by the usual interruptions, not to mention listening to great live music on a Sunday night.

Update, September 2019: For rent

The bar is sporting a for rent sign, but it has been there a while and the bar is continuing.

Update, August 2018: Revival

The bar has something of an uptick and is now attracting some decent looking girls. Lady drinks are still 90 Baht which must be the cheapest in town. Bar fines have been reduced to 300 Baht.

Review from Dick Farang, December 2017: 90 Baht lady drinks

Driving on Third Road I suddenly decided to park and have a look at Buffalo Bar .

The place was deserted with not even a handful of older uninterested girls and even fewer customers.

The price of an ST mounts up, with 400 Baht for the barfine, 400 for the room, and 1,500 (!) to the girl.

The cashier is still a ladyboy and one of the "ladies" looked like one too.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht, lady drinks 90 baht.

News December 2012: Prices

Barfines for bar girls 400 Baht. 600 Baht for dancers and the welcome girls. Lady drinks increased but still cheap at 90 Baht.

News November 2011: Nuts and Bolts

Oh dear, lady boys have crept into the line up. Always a sign of desperation that rarely proves reversible.

Review from pattayagogoguide.com June 2009: On the Up

The popular mamasang Sandy aka Nong (aka little lady with loud voice) has started back at Buffalo Bar, so the standard of girls will be going up again. She has been away for 7 months and it shows in the bar.

They even have a proper plastic Thai recruitment banner outside. Even the famous Chicken (Gai) is back, but sadly only as an early shift cashier.

They have recently renovated the ST rooms, with new beds, aircon and hot water.

[Later reports that the bar now has about 50 girls many of them lookers]

Review from Pattaya Talk Dec 2008: Barely Worth a Visit

I have always liked the Buffalo Bar...but it is now only barely worth a visit.

But still a good drink value only 75 baht for drinks during peak hours.

There seem to be three types of ladies at the Buffalo Bar now, over-the-hill, brats, and nasty-looking.

Many ladies seem too old to be working there, over 40 years, and it is kind of annoying having to waive so many of them off.

The 21ish go-go dancers seem to have a Las Vegas style arrogance.

I also saw 4 or 5, heavily tattooed ladies that looked nasty.

In all, not the nice ladies that used to be there.

Soi LK Metro

The Silver Dollar Bar has been, gutted, expanded and reborn as the Bulldog Bar. But it only lasted a couple of months in Spring 2009. Re-opened in autumn 2009 ready for high season.

The bar seems to have hit the Pattaya forum headlines a bit by pushing the price envelope with 400 Baht barfines and 150 Baht lady drinks.

News April 2014: Merger

The bar has closed and is being merged into Champagne. The resulting 4 unit bar will be called the Champagne and Malibu Club.

The Bullring Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) (near 2nd Road)

Short time bar

Review July 2008: Bullshit

Lured in by a suitably good looking girl, but then things went downhill a bit. The girl was a little demure but was friendly enough.

I ordered a lady drink and then noticed that the bin hadn't yet appeared at my table for my beer. The lady brought back her drink but still no bin. I asked the girl to bring the bin and had a look. The Thai whiskey & coke lady drink was a whopping 140 Baht. No wonder they weren't keen on showing the bill.

I asked the girl and she reckoned that she will only receive 20 Baht of the 140.

Somehow put me off the business in hand and I went in search of another bar more deserving of my trade. A bit of a shame as I didn't find another girl as deserving of my trade.

Review May 2008: Friendly Cows?

Always seems quiet but they seem to have a few pretty girls on hand. I have always been looked after well in the bar

There is a computerised music system with every track known to man.

They allow a bit of naughty stuff in the bar but they make of a play of shutting doors and standing guard. Easier just to retire upstairs.

Review April 2007: No Bull

There's no bar theme linking the bar with either Spanish bull fighting or even the Birmingham shopping centre. No, just a typical small soi 6 bar complete with the usual 2 person sofas.

My drinking companion reckoned that the bar was Thai owned.

The bar seemed well run and the bar tabs were fair with bottled beer going for 70-75 Baht (strangely two prices for the same brand of beer though!)

But as always, merits in this type of bar are down to the hostess of choice. My selection was eloquent, witty, pretty and suitably enticing so the bar was therefore a hit.

The Butcher's Arms Pub

Soi Buakhao

thebutchersarmspub.com

Restaurant & pub

Update from Dick Farang, March 2018: Re-opened

On Soi Buakhaow The Butcher's Arms Pub has reopened under the old ownership, but they had better remained closed.

(I guess they did not find a taker. The Italian restaurant Don Joe on the wrong side of Walking Street comes to mind. It had been for sale for many years for twenty-five million baht, but finally the owner had to abandon it without receiving a single baht. After some time the cheapo New York Diner opened at that location.)

Apart from a lick of varnish on the tables I did not notice any significant change at The Butcher's Arms Pub.

The pea-and-bacon soup probably came out of the same box as what you get at other English pubs in Pattaya.

The roast chicken looked and tasted like a chicken curry, although it was served with the traditional trimmings. I have suffered from an upset stomach for two days. The knife was not sharp enough to cut the Yorkshire pudding.

Update from Dick Farang, October 2017: For sale and closed for renovations

The Butcher's Arms Pub on Soi Buakhaow is now closed and for sale now.

It had been going downhill in recent times.

Review by Dick Farang, January 2015: Prices up

At The Butcher's Arms Pub on Soi Buakhaow prices of draught beers have gone up: Heineken is 120 baht/pint now, Guinness 200 baht/pint.

Whereas their bar area remains open until 2 a.m., the restaurant area shuts down from 11 p.m. with the curtains being closed, the lights being dipped, a waitress wiping the blackboard and writing the next day's special on it.

The daily specials seem to follow a fix pattern: on Sundays lamb roast, on Mondays gammon, etc.

After 11 p.m. only snacks are available such as a (generous) tuna sandwich at 100 baht.

I wonder why the bread in English pubs is always so bad, only slightly better than the stuff sold in minimarkets.

Review by Dick Farang, December 2014: Pints of Heineken

Although I am a continental European I sometimes eat at an English pub and I think The Butcher's Arms Pub on Soi Buakhaow is slightly better than the other ones.

I will never order a cream soup or mashed potatoes in English eateries because they really do not know how to make them. In English pubs I always order items I think are typical British and at the same time eatable for a continental European, such as ham and pea soup, roasts and backgammon. I would like to eat fish and chips too sometimes, but in Thailand the quality of fish is often questionable at best.

 

The Butcher's Arms Pub is the only place in Pattaya where I still drink Heineken draught; they offer it in pints of 0.5 litres and fill the glasses English style (i.e. without foam) so you finally get about 0.55 litres.

If you order lamb roast at The Butcher's Arms Pub insist to get mint sauce with it; the waitresses, although helpful enough, tend to forget.

The Butcher's Arms Pub has blackboards outside and inside on which a daily special is announced, usually an item from their menu, such as roast chicken, at a reduced price.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht, pint of Heineken draught 100 baht, pea and ham soup 115 baht, lamb roast 330 baht.

Review from James, March 2011: Knowing How to party

I tried several short time bars in Soi 6. Butterfly & neighbour Superstar , were great fun.

There were a few Cuties ladies in both bars. I preferred Butterfly, less girls but they're friendly and know how to party and be fun too. Good sex too of course. I had fun with Som and Leedear , great bodies! In Superstar, Bee is also really cute. I paid 300+1000 for ST, but figure out after that it could work for 1000 all inclusive...I did not care really as ladies were great. Bar fine was 700 at first, then become 500 later...

Review from Malcolm, January 2010: Nicest Room

S.T. 300 for bar, 700 for girl. Nicest S.T. room I have seen. Not en suite but shower room good also.

Review from jj, July 2006: Fly In

Butterfly Bar is an all too typical Soi 6 ST bar. Nicely appointed in wood and tile with comfortable sofas and discreet cubicles, it is a perfect example of mediocrity and the paramount importance of the staff. The current owner seems to have sunk a fortune into the place, but no matter how attractive the decor, no matter what the owner's intentions, the ladies in residence are the key to return business.

The curtains on the cubicles showed promise of special things to come. False alarm. Our ladies-of-the-hour were attractive, funny and talkative, but generally non-responsive, allowing a minimum of grab and tickle. Some bars have a complete lack of ambience but fun girls. Fun ladies trump decor any time.

Butterfly reportedly has a staff of 10 but on this week night only 6 were in evidence. They reportedly are all non-salaried free-lancers so the "go upstairs" refrain was all too frequent. There is an unused tiny dance platform immediately inside the door. We were offered 'a show' for a 1000 - a bit steep when the ST BF is a mere 300.

Rumor has it that there is a new owner in the offing. I, for one, would hope that he has a gimmick, a way to break the Soi 6 pattern. For one thing he should ban the ladies from wearing jeans. Perhaps even institute a uniform of sorts that better advertises the available assets. An agreement with the ladies in residence for a pay-to-play closed-curtain "show" priced somewhat below 1000, would be one possible way to integrate the available decor to attract customers. Unless he finds a way to make Butterfly stand out, it will simply remain a nondescript ST bars in a city full of nondescript ST bars.

Review from Pattaya Secrets , April 2006: Top Notch Coasters

I like the rooms at the Butterfly Bar on Soi 6. The inside bar as well as the showers are new. Even the coasters for drinks are top notch. I took one as a souvenir. It has a photo of one of the girls on it.

Lady drink prices depend on what the girl wants: 100 baht for a Spy red, 115 baht for a bottled Leo, etc. I guess it is the normal price for those drinks plus 30 baht for the girl.

News From Dick Farang, October 2017: Update

At Butterfly Bar off Soi Siam Country Club prices have been adjusted.

ST bar fines (room included) are 250 baht now; bottled Heineken and standard lady drinks are 95 baht now.

Still the place to be for MILF threeholers who like threesomes.

Review from Dick Farang December 2015: Valued discretion

Butterfly Bar off Soi Siam Country Club is still doing business as usual and about the cheapest bar on the Dark Side, for barfines and lady drinks that is.

They still open (and close) early and have females in all ages and sizes at a uniform price of 1,000 baht for ST. All of them are freelancers, who seem to value the discretion of the premises. Some of them appear to commute from as far as Rayong.

Barfine (ST room included) still 220 baht (50 baht for the girl).

Standard lady drinks still 80 baht (30 baht for the girl). Bottled Heineken still 80 baht.

Review from Dick Farang August 2015: An extensive menu

At my recent visit at Butterfly Bar off Soi Siam Country Club there were about ten girls and no other customers.

All of them, slim or fat, cute or ugly, young or old expect the same ST fee: 1,000 baht.

Some younger ones (and not necessarily the nicest spinners) seem to ignore older punters. Perhaps they are waiting for a Prince Charming, a Knight in a Shining Armour on a White Horse, but those are few and far between at the Dark Side and probably in most of Pattaya.

Some of the more mature (30+) girls have kept a good figure, complain they have not been shagged for two weeks (true or not) and compete by offering the most complete service you might wish at the same tariff: rimming, bareback, anal, A2M, MFF threesome and MFM threesome. For the last service (aka DP or sandwich) you will need a wingman.

Barfine (room included) still 220 baht.

Standard lady drinks are still 80 baht, special lady drinks such as Spy (pronounce: es-pie) are 100 baht. Bottled Heineken still 80 baht.

Comments from Dick Farang May 2015: 80 baht Lady Drink

Opening hours of Butterfly Bar off Soi Siam Country Club are 12 a.m. (noon) to 9 p.m. If you are horny you better arrive before 8 p.m.

At my latest visit there were a dozen girls in all shapes and sizes, aged between twenty and forty years.

Prices are still the same; the girls get 30 baht for each 80-baht lady drink.

Review from Dick Farang April 2015: The best bargain on the Dark Side

Butterfly Bar off Soi Siam Country Club is still surviving, but very quiet.

When I arrived there were two other customers. There were a couple of oldies and a blonde 22-year-old spinner, Tanya. She had a minimal bosom, a slim body and a very good shape, although she had borne two babies. She was a good girl who did not smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol. She did not have tattoos, but she did have a navel piercing. As she had visited her family and not boom-boom for several days, she was very horny.

She told me she had worked at Superbaby/Supergirl on Soi Diamond for two days, but, although she met the physical requirements to work there, she hated the pressure to have to go with any customer. The majority of bargirls are self-confident and choosy, not wanting to be intimate with somebody they do not like.

Apart from junkies et al., also not many girls will want to work for a service were they are picked from a website or from a photo album. I can understand this very well as I myself have never used a home delivery service such as The Devil's Den on Soi LK Metro and I doubt very strongly if I ever will.

Tanya's tariff was the usual 1,000 baht ST.

The background music at Butterfly Bar was unobtrusive.

Barfine is still 220 baht, room included, probably the best bargain on the Dark Side.

Bottled Heineken still 80 baht and also lady drinks still 80 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, August 2017: Lo-so posh

With the Den on Soi Chaiyapoon closing early in the evening, I finally made it there in the daytime.

Shortly after 2 p.m. the, not so young and not so slim, birds were fixing their make-up and charging their mobiles.

Several months after their opening there were still workmen with ladders around.

Because of several pillars it is difficult to get a good view. In the middle is a bar counter surrounded by stools. On the right-hand side I noticed some pool tables. On the left-hand side is red plush bench seating with straight backs, which does not look very comfortable.

Contrarily to what I had read on internet fora (all-in price of 1,000 + 500 baht for ST), I was told there was no ST room available, but there was a room nearby at 250 baht. Barfine 400 baht ST and 1,000 baht LT. For themselves the fuglies wanted 1,500 baht ST. An unattractive, shapeless, 41-year-old woman, who had been selling Buddhist paraphernalia in Bangkok, told me she wanted to go with me ST for 2,000 baht, room included.

As soon as the females realised I was not going to barfine or waste money on lady drinks, they wanted tips in their pants and bras.

There were two other customers, quietly drinking their beers.

A lo-so experience.

Bottled Heineken 95 baht.

News from Dick Farang, June 2017: Posh on Chaiyapoon

On Soi Chaiyapoon (aka Chalerm Phrakiat 25 or Third Road Soi 25), more or less opposite the Thai karaoke Hot Man, The Den has opened.

I was told opening hours are 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. only.

I caught a glimpse of the interior, which was dominated by red plush. \I think that in the past it has been a karaoke where well-off bargirls could hire a Thai gigolo. Hot man appears to be the last remaining of those karaokes on Soi Chaiyapoon.

That being said, I wonder who in his right mind would want to open a (posh ?) venue on the worst stretch of the (literally) dirtiest street in Pattaya.

Graham adds:

I went into The Den..had one drink..I asked a nice girl if it was a BJ bar? She looked puzzled and said ...no...only drinking...WTF...

5555 yes indeed: "...who in their right mind...in the dirtiest street..."

The Dennis The Menace bar is good, big screen for watching sport and cheap drinks. Liam the manageress is really nice.

Review by Nightmarch, January 2006: Cleaner and Fresher

The Dennis The Menace beer boozer is certainly cleaner and fresher than most of its rivals in Fun Town and offers a good happy hour. Their advertising says 'Campanologists welcome'. Yes, I had to look up the word as well: it means bell ringers. High season usually has plenty of two-week millionaires prepared to turn campanologist with very little urging, so Dennis and his damsels should be doing OK.

105 Baht for bottle of Singha, 160 Baht for Bacardi Breezer. Food expensive too.

No Irish music. Looked through door 10pm one evening, still quiet, still no Irish music

Review from Pattaya Today : Shuffle Board

The interior renovation retains the huge hospitable bar but with more comfy seating, fourteen TV screens, two pool tables, a new band stand which is the scene for live music Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights from 8.00 pm till midnight. (Lee Shamrock is also scheduled to perform).

The walls are decorated with unique pictures of Celtic women whose exploits during the Viking invasion became legendary and conferred their reputation as fearsome warriors and romantic heroines.

Dicey Reilly's The result is a friendly, contemporary entertainment destination with a laid-back ambiance and Gaelic vibes.

Cat told us that a unique forthcoming attraction will be the arrival of a 5 metre long shuffle board. For the uninitiated (like us) players use broom-shaped paddles to push pucks down a narrow court into the scoring area.

The menu features good, honest pub grub with an Irish twist plus a small selection of Thai dishes,

From Pattaya Chat , Dec 2008: Enjoyable

Differ was very good. Many nice Thai ladies in there and it was a good friendly enjoyable atmosphere.

From Pattaya Secrets , Nov 2006: Mercedes and BMW’s

A newish nightspot aimed at middle class Thais.

There is a limited beer choice of Singha & Corona. The Thai preference is for a group to share a bottle of whiskey.

The place is very small. There is a ground floor areas and a balcony overlooking the stage. The place is often packed with queues outside too. The car park is bulging with Mercedes and BMW’s.

Musically, its hip hop tapes or CDs until 10.00pm and then a live group. They also have a DJ scratching 12”singles.

There is no dance floor and there are no high tech lasers, dry ice machines or scanners etc, the sound system is not bad but nothing compared to some of the go-go bars on Walking Street.

DK Bar

Thappraya Road
Jomtien (front of Jomtien Complex)

Beer bar, replacing Palace Bar, opened in May 2006

Review May 2009: Recessionary Blues

The bar seems to have suffered a bit from the recession and seems to have lost the girls who had any interest in looking after customers. Presumably any with enthusiasm for tips and extras have rapidly moved on to Pattaya which has done a better job in retaining a few customers.

They now have a bunch who are more like restaurant waitresses who prefer to stay at arms length rather than get friendly with the customers. I think they would prefer it if you would drink alone and let them get on with their chat with the other girls in front of the bar. Best bet is probably a game of pool as they can enjoy that without too much effort.

Bottled beer is 75 Baht

Review Dec 2008: Consistent

The bar is proving to be one of the most consistent places in Jomtien to find a friendly girl who also knows how to make customers feel in a good mood for a little upstairs entertainment.

Review Nov 2008: Expensive Room

A very friendly girl made for a pleasant stay but they charge a barfine of 200 Baht in addition to the 1 hour short time room charge of 300 Baht. Seems excessive to charge a barfine for just an hour away. Most similar bars don't do this.

Review April 2008: Geared for Pool

I have popped in a couple of times of late and found a pretty girl or two for a chat.

The bar suffers a from a lack of comfortable seating as it seems geared up mostly for pool players.

There is a convenient short time room but be aware that the staff bang on the door punctually when your time is up.

Review from Dick Farang, November 2015: Super Baby Doll

Dolls coyote bar on Soi 6 has indeed reopened.

Everything inside is rather chaotic and cheaply laid out, even by Soi 6 norms. There are three different stages with chrome poles, two of them consisting of white transparent plastic cubes with lighting inside.

They appear to open from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m.

I saw about a dozen dancers in black coyote outfits and a bottle blonde owner/manager/mamasan. Most of the coyotes were average or slightly better.

The best looking girl was Ann, a 27-year old, slim threeholer who started her career at Super Baby A-GoGo on Soi Diamond and after that has been freelancing on Beach Road for several years. Only pity Ann has added some tattoos.

All dancers are fully clothed.

There were several customers, including a Japanese (the first one I have ever seen on Soi 6, but I am not a regular there) who was showering 20-baht notes.

Music was deafening.

For everything Dolls coyote bar is more expensive than Passion Dance Club, also on Soi 6.

ST in-house fun 1,500 baht all in (500 for barfine and room, 1,000 baht for girl).

Bottled Heineken 120 baht, lady drinks 150 baht.

The second section comprises of two pool tables at 20 baht a game. The girls are always happy to beat you hollow.

Review from Andrew January 2012: Monkeying Around

I'm in the oil game, 4 on, 4 off, guess where I spend my 4 off? What can I say, UK is pants, full stop.

At the start of my little trips to Pattaya, I usual stay 3 day in soi 7/8. Anyway the soi 7/8 debauchery that follows usually gets my hormone build up out the way, I can then settle down to the quiet life in Naklua. Armchair, flat cap and pipe, NOT...

The Drum and Monkey is my drinking hole of choice. Niall has taken over the bar for a couple of years now, and all I can say what a great job he's done. He's got the balance just right on both sides of the bar...

Ohh he also has fine Harem of lovely ladies, who will always welcome you with a friendly smile. If you've come for a bit of female Thai company, you could do worse...

I try not to fiddle about with the ladies from this bar, as I don't like to be seen as a complete wretch, mixing business with pleasure and all that stuff. But to be honest, the wall has been known to crumble occasionally...

I like to use the Monkey Bar for a good bevy, the beer is as cheap as you will get anywhere. There is the Irish bar next door, Ryan's bar, which I may add is excellent, the same as Eor's, I am always made to feel very welcome in both establishments.

But I'm like a homing pigeon, always return to the Monkey bar The Drum and monkey do a fine breakfast at a very agreeable price, the full monty has always been too much for me, as I am a usually a bitty delicate in the mornings, well that's rubbish, early afternoons.

Has Niall filled Badgers boots? yip I think so...... Niall's turned out to be a good friend, he always organizes a little away days over to the darkside which is always good for beaver spotting, this usually entails a 1 PM start. Visiting 4 or 5 establishments, including the Black peril, and my personal Favorite, the Pussy Cat Club. Finishing of back at the Monkey bar, a bitty worse for wear.

Did Badger return, yip seen him a couple of trips ago.... He's doing just fine.....

News from August 2009: The Monkey Returns

The bar has now re-opened under a new management team Now run by a team of Mick fro England, Laong from Thailand and Niall from Ireland.

News from Andrew, July 2009: The old classic story

Every time I visit Pattaya I always go to this bar and always have a top night.

Badger would always be there, the life and sole of the place. He seemed to have the balance just right between running the bar in the back ground, whilst being a gent with the customers. Sure old Badger would take a drink off a Falang, but he was not slow in returning it.

But last week he told me that he had been stiffed by his girlfriend and has just had to return to England.

So he's sold the bar to an English fella who's redeveloping the place. It will take 3 weeks before re-opening.

So all I can say is that Badger will be sorely missed in Naklua road, Pattaya.

Will Badger be back? I think so...

Thepprasit: Soi 10 Dare Again

Pretty sure it is where the the old Monkey Club 1 was has now opened as Duangjai Bar . Still a single unit.

Looks newly decorated. Pool table. 5 half decent girls working but I couldn't make up my mind about 2 of them, very tall but no hassle from them. Singha B70.

I was the only customer at 8.30pm but after about 15 minutes a motorbike pulled up outside and 2 girls rushed in. One of them rang the bell so drinks all round and after a couple of minutes of Thai screaming and shouting and laughing they jumped back on the motorbike, drinks in hand and left.

Duangjai Bar is also next to The Cave on Soi LK Metro. Same name as the one I found on Soi Lengkee a couple of days ago. Must be connected. The logos on the signs are the same but in reverse. Didn't venture in because of the ladyboys sat outside which might confirm my doubts about 2 of the girls on the Soi Lengkee bar.

Soi Khao Noi

 Review from Dick Farang: Fancyless

Towards the end of Soi Khao Noi, past Angels Place and more or less opposite Soi 17, The Empire Lounge and Restaurant has opened.

This is a very difficult place to park a car. Inside it is spacious and all but a restaurant.

There is a big room with sofas that can be curtained off and appears to serve as a blow job area.

The owner/manager/mamasan is an older Thai woman who used to work at the nearby Pacha Bar.

There were five or six fat and/or old girls, several of them aai maak maak and virtually without any English. The best looking girl was the 33-year-old cashier, who said she had been a lady at Pacha Bar, but was no lady any longer.

I was told the ST bar fine was 300 baht and an air-conditioned room somewhere at the rear was included.

None of the available girls however could take my fancy.

I was also told that, unlike at Pacha Bar, the girls were not allowed to smoke cigarettes inside.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht.

A bit off topic but maybe useful if you are entertaining ladies

Sports bar new for 2015.

Enjoy André

Thappraya Soi 6 Enjoy André

Restaurant and bar

Review from Dick Farang, September 2014:

Recently I have visited Enjoy Andre' restaurant several times.

It is located on Thappraya Road Soi 6 (on the way to Jomtien), a bit off the beaten track.

As it is partly open air, it is possible you have to move further inside when it starts raining.

The owners are André from Limburg province in Belgium, who lives in Thailand for 22 years, and Mai from Buriram, his wife of 18 years.

Apart from an ample a la carte choice, they also have a daily special, such as tomato soup-chicken-ice cream at 240 baht.

On Fridays they serve fresh sea fish.

On occasion they offer original Belgian witloof (chicory in good old English, endive in American) or Dutch maatjes (young immature raw herring; the Wikipedia definition soused herring is rather misleading).

All dishes are home-made to the best Belgian standards.

Their mashed potatoes (and hence their potato croquettes) for instance are made from boiled potatoes, milk, butter and egg yolks (very important) and spiced with nutmeg, pepper and salt.

In order to ensure continuity, André and Mai train their cooks themselves instead of hiring chefs .

Of course, they also offer typical Belgian desserts such as pancakes, Brussels waffles and dark or white chocolate mousse.

Since Mai Lu Si bar at their new location seem to have given up selling Belgian beers, Enjoy Andre' without a doubt has the broadest choice of Belgian beers in Pattaya nowadays.

The venue is well known in the Belgian, Dutch, German and Swiss communities of Pattaya.

Prices are very moderate for the quality offered.

Bottled Heineken 75 baht, most soups 80 baht, steaks from 285 baht, beef tenderloin ( filet pur ) from 350 baht, pancakes from 85 baht, waffles from 95 baht.

Comment from Dick Farang, August 2014: Belgian Beer

I paid 165 baht for a Palm Speciale.

Fabrice Bar

Soi Banlang (aka Soi Siam Country Club Soi 18 and Soi Phon Prapha Nimit Soi 18)

Web Page

Bar associated with Fabrice Hotel and Restaurant

Update from Dick Farang, January 2018:

At Fabrice Bar on Soi Banlang bottled Heineken is still 80 baht and a lady drink (apple juice) 100 baht; ST rooms are 300 baht now (no barfine due).

Review from Dick Farang, February 2017: Middle of nowhere

Fabrice Bar on the corner of Soi Banlang and Soi Banlang Soi 8 is still as dark as ever and the bar stools are still as hard.

This bar seems to increasingly specialise in oldies, who are more interested in playing pool than in "the real thing".

The ST rooms (in fact rather nice en suite "standard" hotel rooms) are 320 baht now, "no barfine".

On my latest visit (still in "high" season) I had the impression they even did have some real hotel guests, as I saw an elderly farang woman in the swimming pool.

I wonder however who, in their right mind, would want to spend their holidays in that dusty middle of nowhere.

Bottled Heineken still 80 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, April 2015: No smoking

Nothing has improved since my previous visits to Fabrice Bar on the corner of Soi Banlang (aka Soi Siam Country Club Soi 18 and Soi Phon Prapha Nimit Soi 18) and Soi Banlang Soi 8.

The swimming pool was deserted and inside the lounge were a huge, dark cashier and three girls, two fat ones and one half-decent one.

The latter one was 28 years old, did smoke cigarettes, but did not want to smoke big cigar , was not overly enthusiastic and expected 1,500 baht for ST boom-boom .

Fabrice Bar also has a pizzeria to the right of the building. If you want you can order some grub from there and consume it in the darkness of the lounge. On Tuesdays they seem to have a buffet at 100 baht.

ST room ( no barfine ) 250 baht.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, April 2014: A Strange Mood

Not far from Aqua Deymie is French owned hotel and bar, Fabrice.

At this bar I always feel in a strange mood. Most girls are in their thirties and the younger ones completely ignore older punters. The bar is rather spacious and the girls are walking in and out all the time leaving an empty feel.

Fabrice is located on Soi Banlang (aka Soi Siam Country Club Soi 18 and Soi Phon Prapha Nimit Soi 18.

Fantasy Bar

Jomtien Complex

Opened Jan 2007. Plush looking aircon venue with high backed easy chairs

Update March 2012: Prices

All basic bottled beers are 50 baht. Cocktails are 70 Baht.

Review from Thai Visa Sept 2008: Marble

By 4 pm the place was heaving. It's a large air conned bar inside with plenty of sofa's and comfy bar stool everywhere and with a huge "terrace" outside with tables and chairs.

The place is wall to wall marble, including the toilets which are the cleanest I've ever seen. They also have "smoking rooms" upstairs.

Drinks were served by one of about a dozen lovelies.

All bottled beers were only 40 baht!

Review from Pattaya-Live June 2008: Whiskey

Nice big double unit with all-marble floors and very nice (hotel-type) black marbled toilets. A real clincher (for me) was the great sofas inside with matching leather footstools....extremely comfortable. I'm not a big beer drinker personally-but at 40Baht for all beer (even Heineken), it's hard to beat!

The Cognac/Brandy selection was something to behold...I don't know of a better selection in Pattaya! Some horrendously expensive stuff, but if you pick through the pricelist, the Hennessy VSOP at 100/baht a shot is, in my opinion, not bad value at all. All cocktails, (Singapore Sling/Mai Tai etc..) are only 100 baht.

Single Malt Whiskey/"Good" Blends, is my drink and they had a few nice choices. It wouldn't be up to the standard of choices that are at the "Whiskey,Whisky Bar/soi 6"....but not too bad nonetheless! Some great deals caught my eye.......... MacAllan(12 yr)-150 baht Glenmorangie(10 yr)-130 baht Johnnie Gold-150 baht

Review from Pattaya Pages Sep 2007: Cheap Drinks

Definitely a place for cheap drinks (Gin only 60 baht, and bottled Heineken only 40 baht!) but sadly, the girls didn't really catch our eye.

Review Aug 2007: Plush Sofas

There were about 8 hostesses available in the bar, of which a couple were good looking. Unfortunately the lady that attached herself to me was not to taste so this was definitely a one drink visit.

I had to try one of the big plush leather sofas but in the end maybe these are not such a good for a hostess bar. My hostess sat opposite and the seats are so big that the distance triggered body language of being standoffish.

Looking around at a couple of guys who were enjoying the company of the hostesses, they were seated at the bar stools. Maybe a lesson for next time.

But the bar is very attractive and the drinks prices are very reasonable at 40 Baht for bottled beers.

Beer bar

Review from Pattaya Secrets , Jan 2009: Eternal Welcome

Good girls and lots of good music. The owner still comes over and says hello every time I go back whether it 6 months a year or 18 months, never ever forgets you.

March 2006:

My fave bar is the 5 Star, Beach Rd and soi 10 by Mikes Shopping Mall. Friendly girls, great sound system, and one of the best views. Mama is always cooking something to feed you and she will ring the bell.

January 2006:

A popular bar at the end of the walk along the Beach Road street market stalls. Before the starting on the return leg one can partake in a reasonably priced drink.

The bar seems to have connections with the US military and also with bikers. The mementos and photos and the walls demonstrate this affiliation.

The Flinstone Bar is Like a Deluxe Garage Hideout. Top shelf Drinks and Company. Has it's own free toilet.

A place to get a stiff one before Talking a Baht Taxi to walking St.---steps from the Beach Rd./Soi 8.

Say hi to Rolph the owner and enjoy-not big enough for Big groups.

Soi Kao Noi

Aircon bar returned after a spell as Route 69. Dark in December 2017.

Review from Dick Farang, December 2015: Yabba Dabba Don't

On Soi Khao Noi, in the double shophouse where Route 69 used to be, Flintstone Bar has opened.

Apart from a new sign and some Flintstones pictures nothing seems to have changed. The unused narrow stage with chrome poles, which separates the first part from the second, is still there.

I saw four working girls: a 20-year-old spinner who was too shy for any activity, another young one who was skinny in an unhealthy way, a slightly older one with a good shape whom I would have liked to vet, but who had suddenly disappeared, and a huge creature saying he/she/it wanted to take it up the arse.

The empty spaces in the middle did not contribute to an intimate feel. The manager roaming the place all the time did not help either. Unsurprisingly I was the only customer.

One more who is going to bite the dust. At least no money was wasted on a refurbishment.

Bottled Heineken 70 baht, 50 baht during happy hour.

Full Moon Bar

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)/

Short time bar. Changed hands and completely refurbished in summer 2010.

From Full Moon Bar, June 2010: Complete Makeover

Each room has been completely redone, electrics to European standards, the widest beds in the market, new bedding, linens and towels, large side mirrors and ceiling for kinky activities, handrail for girls, spacious sofas and chairs for games out of bed or on the floor, black tiles, quiet and efficient air conditioner and ceiling fan, and even a card to turn on and turn off the electricity at the end of session, as in the best hotels.

In the rooms (except orange), there is a spacious bathroom with sink, new shower and toilet, with hot and cold water and a large mirror for playing a bit if you feel like it.

On the first floor so we have four new rooms: the black, red, orange and yellow for your mood. The rooms have dimmers, a black light lamps, and white light in ceiling for most voyeurs. The decoration is made of sexy photos of girls and, for relaxation, trees and flowers adorn the rooms finely colored, a touch of country. The rooms red and black are huge, the other two smaller.

On the second floor from late June 2010 will be four other rooms in the same spirit, which will be rented on a daily, weekly or monthly rates. And a metal staircase was installed at the rear of the building against the wall for fire safety.

The bar has also been completely redecorated and extended. There are large individual seats, sofas and new air conditioning, electricity, etc. There is also a special private playroom where the customer can be alone (or with friends) with one or two or more girls on comfortable sofas to relax completely in his own way during the time that suits him

So in the Full Moon Bar, everything is now above local standards. From the staff side, there are 17 girls and a few other freelancers, young and sexy to satisfy the desires of customers from 10 am to 1 am.

I talk at length about my bar as I'm proud, because it finally became beautiful, clean, safe, efficient and facilitated by a young but experienced and effective girls that I trained myself.

Walking Street : Soi BJ The Full Moon Bar

Beer bar now vanished

The Full Moon Bar

Soi Khao Talo
(upper section, right of The Bird Cage).

Beer bar

Review from Dick Farang, March 2017: Secret Moons

Full Moon Bar is a single-unit shophouse on the left-hand side of upper Soi Khao Talo, between The Bird Cage and The Secret (previously Happy Moon's Bar).

It used to be an open-fronted bar, but last year it was closed with see-through windows.

It shares a (muddy) car park behind the buildings with its neighbours.

Full Moon Bar shares ownership with neighbour The Secret (previously Happy Moon's Bar) and with Full Moon Bar II on lower Soi Khao Talo.

Full Moon Bar II

Soi Khao Talo Prices

At Full Moon Bar II on lower Soi Khao Talo bottled Heineken is 75 baht now and the lady drinks such as Singha Light (apparently very popular with the girls) are 120 baht.

Their ST bar fine of 300 baht now includes a nice and spacious room in a residence behind Tony's Fitness.

Review from Dick Farang, December 2016: Full Moon Rising

In a single-unit shophouse on Soi Khao Talo, left of Krungthai Bank, where once the open-fronted short-lived Check In Beer Bar used to be, a new closed beer bar has opened: Full Moon Bar II.

Whereas many bars on lower Soi Khao Talo open at 4 p.m. or later, this bar already opens at 1 p.m.

At the rear is a (too large) bar counter with some bar stools. On the right-hand side are high tables with bar stools and mirrors on the upper half of the wall. On the left-hand side is bench seating with some low round tables and fake windows on the wall.

Unusual for the Dark Side there is no pool table.

The lighting was rather dim.

The cashier was a bottle-blonde ladyboy.

I saw a couple of girls in the 30-45 age range and rather fat. They appeared to have come from the sister bar Full Moon Bar on upper Soi Khao Talo, right of The Bird Cage.

Contrarily to what the mamasan had told me shortly before the opening, there was no ST room.

I am not going back in a hurry.

Barfines 300 baht ST and 400 baht LT, the girls expecting 1,000 baht ST and 2,000 baht LT.

All bottled beers 55-60 baht during happy hour (1 p.m. to 5 p.m.), lady drinks 100 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, November 2016: Fast service

Off Third Road, in a soi more or less opposite Soi 33 (where Le Carré Blanc used to be), a smallish bar has opened: Geisha Club Bar Hôtesses .

The door was opened before I could ring the doorbell.

Most girls were in their late thirties and wearing big bras and big pants under their chaste dresses. Nothing special on offer. No other customers.

I saw a coaster of a Belgian beer Keizer Karel . (Emperor Charles V was an enthusiastic beer drinker and already legendary during his lifetime. His Antwerp residence Prinsenhof (Prince's Court) now houses the main campus of Universiteit Antwerpen. When he later moved from the Low Countries to Spain a number of brew masters accompanied him.)

Barfine (room included) 300 baht, full service (no anal) 1,000 baht.

Bottled Heineken 105 baht, lady drinks (cola on the rocks) 130 baht, a tad expensive for the kind of venue.

By comparison: at Working Girl on Soi 6 the new prices are 89 baht for bottled Heineken and 125 baht for lady drinks.

Looks very well fitted out, has a couple of different draught beers on tap. Done out like an English bar, air-conditioned and comfortable. It seems to have become instantly popular.

News from Pattaya Secrets , Feb 2007: Teeing Off

Good to see a new golf bar opening soon on Soi LK metro off Soi Dianna

It will be called The Golf Club. It should be open any day now.

They will be organising games for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. John ex Lewiinski's bar plans to play Green Valley on Tuesdays, maybe Siam on Thursdays and move around to the premium courses on Monday and Friday. There will be a signup sheet available in the bar.

There will be no hostesses in the bar though.

Review from Malcolm, Jan 2010: No Lady Boys

Never saw any ladyboys there and one of the girls said there was none working there.

Review from Pattaya Pages , June 2006: Good

Probably spent more time in GoodFellas than anywhere else, but the good looking girls are snapped up early. Well thought out bar, attractive, good seating, clean. Haven't used their short time room though.

November 2005:

A couple of the girls out front seem to have developed deep voices presumably from the large amount of 'welcome handsum man' calls uttered. Anyway I didn't hang around to investigate further, plenty more bars in the gauntlet.

I feel a bit sorry for any naturally husky or tall girls in Soi 6. Given that one has only a split second choice as one passes, the height and voice is a high priority filter for me. But on the other hand the lady boy's seem to do well enough for customers so perhaps tall girls get a lot of interest. I wonder if there are ever any shocks in the short time room when the customer gets to see that his lady boy is in fact a girl.

Summer 2005:

I found Goodfella's to be a nice, clean, well laid out bar with some pretty girls.

Review from Thai Visa , Feb 2009: Never crowded

Never crowded (sad for the owners), low volume easy listening music, 3 pool tables and clean bathrooms!

The drink prices are reasonable and you can relax while watching sports on one of the TV screens.

Review by Polecat , Jan 2006: No Freelancers

There is a cavernous Castle Frankenstein interior, with hi-tec accessories like internet stations and multiple TVs.

The bathrooms are a knockout. Drinks and food are reasonably priced, and you can play pool or watch sports on a huge screen.

But unlike Bangkok Gulliver’s, there are no freelancers. The manager says they’d be welcome, and he’s considering promotions to attract them.

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar. One room has a private shower, the other not. Beer 75 Baht, lady drinks 130 Baht.

Review Sept 2007: Well Looked After

A pretty small bar with the usual girls and sofas. The bar features a friendly host and mamasang who works hard to ensure that the customers are well looked after.

There's a ensuite shower in at least one of the upstairs rooms.

From the Yellow Board , February 2006: Get Acquainted

There were about 10 girls waiting on a chance to entertain. There are comfortable sofas inside to help one get acquainted.

At the beach end of the street is the Halifax bar. They always had a bunch of girls out front and a few always called out to me. I went in with a kind of chubby girl with a great smile and attitude.

I had a good time and can recommend this bar. (Decent rooms by the way).

Halifax Bar 2

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Short time bar opened in May 2008. Unsurprisingly, the same owner as Halifax Bar 1. Beer 75 Baht, lady drinks 130 Baht. Rooms are modern with showers.

Short time bar became Envy in December 2018.

Review May 2008: Traditional

Traditional soi 6 single unit layout with 2 person sofas. The bar is a little roomier than the sister bar.

The bar is customer friendly with reasonable drinks prices, a friendly owner and non-pushy girls. Should do well.

Review by Lindsay, Aug 2007: Happiness is a Cold Towel

On my last trip to Pattaya I drank most days (during the afternoon) at Happiness Star bar in Soi 7. Having stopped originally just for a quick beer the staff were very friendly and not at all pushy just ensured that I had a good time.

On my daily return they remembered my name and continued with their friendly attitude. Several could speak good English which helped.

The beer was cold, the prices friendly and I noticed that they were the only bar that offered me cold face towel this trip. Last year and prior years most bars the towel was the first thing offered after you had ordered a drink. Maybe times are tough for the bar business and cost saving policies are in place. Hope happiness Star bar keeps the good work up.

Review from Pattaya Chat, March 2006: Great Girls

Don't like the location since it right front of the boxing ring in Siren Complex. Beers are somewhat on the warm side and the bathroom are in the dingy corner of the complex.

But girls are great and very energetic. Mamasan is very friendly and she speaks English well. Matter of fact, most girls speak English well. It's also own by Sunny so if you don't see him at Lennie's, you will sure to see him there drinking beer.

Bar and Restaurant with dancing. Opened a bar called Soul Lounge in February 2012.

Be aware that beers, apart from Singha, are simply extortion. 330 Baht for a small bottle of Heineken was reported in November 2007.

From Hard Rock Cafe, April 2012: Powerjam

The new house band at the Hard Rock Cafe is Powerjam. They are a 6 piece band from the Philippines that have been performing since 1996.

Prices from Pattaya Secrets , Dec 2006: Extortionate Beer

A bottle of Heineken is 280 baht - even more expensive than a Bacardi Breezer at 200 baht. When I questioned the Manager about the price she claimed the inflated beer price was for the 'excellent' live music one can experience in their establishment. If you are ordering a beer in Hard Rock, stick to the Singha which is priced at 130 baht

The bar re-opened after the coronavirus lockdown ended in July.

Review from Malcolm, September 2015: Same Family

What used to be the Family Bar on Soi Diana is now called Harry's Bar, Hotel, Restaurant. It's to the left of the Metropole Apartments between LK Metro and Soi Buakhao.

Nothing much changed from Family Bar.

They have draft Leo at B49 but it's only a small glass. Bottle of Singha at B65 is better value. Orange juice B40.

When I asked about food I was told the restaurant will be up and running in about 3 months.

Harry's Bar

For conviviality only (no girls). A small bar frequented by mainly Brits and Aussies. Harry has been around the block a few times and is always good for a yarn.

In a previous incarnation this was quite a lively bar called the Girl Guides Bar. It then became rather a redundant aircon restaurant associated with the Haven Hotel.

Beer bar with live band

Review from Pattaya Addicts , Aug 2008: Enjoy

Open air, Beer Bar or Pub style bar located on Soi Diana across from the Acrea Lodge.

I really enjoy this Bar. It’s a great way to finish the night. The bar girls are not stunners by some your standards, but some are really cute to be sure and eager to be bar fined (300 baht). The girls are quick to give you a new drink and don’t bother you if your not looking for company, but are quick and happy to provide some if you want,

After 21:00, the house band starts to play and they really know how to rock and have a good time.

Beer is cheap, Bottles of Heineken, 75 baht after happy hour.

Review from Pattaya Addicts , Sep 2007: Laid Back

Excellent laid back bar called "Heartbeat" that has live music every night from 8pm onwards. Good drink prices and excellent staff who don't hassle you (unless you want to be!)

Heaven Above

Soi Boomerang
(off Soi  Buakhao by Pattaya City Hospital)

Gentlemen's Club opened at its new venue on 9th October 2020.  Re-opened after the 2022 coronavirus lockdown to good reviews

The long running and popular Heaven Above A-GoGo closed on Soi Diamond and the GoGo's connections created a new venue bearing the same name on Soi Boomerang off Soi  Buakhao (by Pattaya City Hospital).

Heaven Above now describes itself as a gentlemen's club, but Soi Boomerang is a new entertainment area that features bars that blur the line between gentlemen's clubs and GoGos.

News July 2024: Speakeasy

Heaven Above has opened an upstairs bar that it has tagged as Cleo's Hideout Speakeasy. Girls are kitted out in 1920's style dresses.

The bar is a pitched as a higher class affair with high drinks prices, eg 190 Baht lady drinks compared with 165 Baht downstairs.

News from Ishi, March 2015: Re-opening

The bar is set to re-open with a party on 4th April.

News February 2015: 30 Days

The bar has fallen victim to a 30 day police closure.

Review from Dick Farang, February 2015: In the wake of a raid

Last Tuesday around 5 p.m. the gate was closed at Heaven Gentlemen's Lounge (previously Times Lounge) on Soi Kasetsin Soi 11 although I had seen three farangs entering just before I parked my car.

Suddenly the (electric) gate was opened and it was closed again after I got in.

(At that moment I was not aware of the police raid on the previous day).

Inside there was no music and no air conditioning. I only saw about six passive chicks and the three farangs, probably Scandinavians.

When I asked what was going on, I was told the manager was sick . Perhaps the manager's illness was related to the police raid on the previous evening.

Anyway, there were much fewer than 100 patrons and by far nobody looked younger than 20 years.

When I left the gate was opened and immediately closed again.

Bottled Heineken still 90 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, November 2014: An unwanted buffet

Heaven Gentlemen's Lounge, previously Times Lounge, is located on Soi Kasetsin Soi 11.

(Soi Kasetsin is the first soi past Soi Phratamnak Soi 2 when coming from Central Jomtien and is heading down to Cosy Beach; I am not sure if it is the same soi as Soi Phratamnak Soi 1.)

Soi Kasetsin Soi 11 is a deserted street with a lot of parking space.

At the entrance of Heaven Gentlemen's Lounge there are several stairs to climb.

This club is built around an outdoor swimming pool.

When I arrived there was one other farang, perhaps the owner.

There were a dozen of girls in all shapes and sizes, all of them probably freelancers and over thirty years old, nothing to write home about.

They were all but communicative, shy and apparently not interested in the real thing , but only in lady drinks and 100-baht notes.

None of the girls stayed outside (at the swimming pool area) and many were smoking cigarettes.

I saw an ad for German beer and some copies of the German-language magazine Der Farang .

There was a small buffet (on a Tuesday) and with my first and only beer I was charged 200 baht for food , which I refused to pay.

If I want to eat I go to a decent restaurant and pay the right price.

If I want to enjoy a buffet, I go to Cherry's Restaurant on Third Road where I get a splendid buffet at 399 baht (on Wednesdays and Saturdays).

Bottled Heineken at Heaven Gentlemen's Lounge is 90 baht.

From Pattaya News, September 2020: Re-opened and re-closed

The disco re-opened after the end of the coronavirus lockdown but has now decided to close its disco due to lack of customers. The disco intends to re-open again once tourists return. In the meantime the venue will continue with a partial opening of its restaurant and karaoke rooms.

From Pattaya City News , Oct 2006: Blazing Hollywood Entrance

In May of 2004 a fire engulfed the entrance of Hollywood Discotheque located in South Pattaya. A problem with the exterior lighting was blamed for the fire which luckily resulted in no deaths or major injures.

In October 2006 it happened again as the entire entrance to the club was engulfed in flames. The fire occurred at around as staff were arriving for work. There were no customers inside the club and once again, no injuries or deaths were reported.

Firefighters were quickly on scene and once again found it difficult to gain access to the fire because of the location of the club and the narrowness of the access roads. Eventually the fire was brought under control and the damage was accessed and the cause of the fire was put down to an electric short circuit.

Review from Pattaya Talk May 2007: Bit Expensive

I fancied a nice bit of grub one night so I treated me and Missus to a meal in Hopf.

Glad to see it's not a gay bar anymore. Steak was nice and service excellent. Bit expensive but worth a go and Pizza's and Knuckle ham looked lovely.

From Steve, Nov 2006: Discriminatory Policies

I’ve been eating in the Hopf Brauhaus on Beach Road for four years. The place has an interesting pseudo-gothic interior decoration. The food comes in large portions and is good quality, though hardly gourmet (and they totally overdo the tomatoes in/on just about everything!). The staff are efficient and mostly quite friendly.

However, I recently took a friend who has a foot deformity there to eat. To cut a long story short, he was denied entry because he didn’t have what they deemed to be ‘proper’ footwear. What did they expect? He can’t wear normal shoes. Anyway, after discussing this with one of the senior waiters that I knew (one of the guys wearing a green jacket), he stood by the doorman’s decision to refuse my friend entry.

I was so damned embarrassed by this. My friend seemed to blame himself for us being refused entry. He was almost in tears as we went off to Pizza Hut to eat. What could I do? It was my stupid idea to take him there as I had always liked the place before this incident. In spite of the Hopf brauhaus being one of the largest and evidently most prosperous restaurants in Pattaya, it has no wheelchair access either.

So be warned, avoid the place if you have a physical handicap. Personally I have decided that I will never eat there again, they made me feel so small. Up to you if you want to support a restaurant with these discriminatory policies.

From Jil in Pattaya , June 2006: Italian tenor

We met up with Rick and Da at the Hopf Brewery on Walking Street at 11:00 on Saturday night. Why? Because it is only on Saturdays when one of the owners, Enzo, gets up on stage to sing: Yes, Pattaya's only Italian tenor cum human beat box. He really is exceptional, and the place just goes wild when he sings.

The Hopf Brewery still has great beer. Order their home-brewed wheat beer and at 11:00, enjoy the show.

Summer 2005: No Smoking

Seems popular with the Asian tour parties probably because this is one of the few bars that don't focus on female companionship.

The live band are competent and play the usual pop/rock material but they feature a jazzier treatment than most.

The beer is good but a little expensive.

I found the metal detector search on entry a little off putting, it makes you wonder if they have something to fear from protection racketeers or thugs. Maybe they working with a thought to further royal vistors.

Smoking is prohibited.

To the rear there's a stage where a good live band plays a range of tracks including both new and old material.

There's the inevitable giant TV screen for live football and other sport.

Drinks are not the cheapest in town but it stands out from the rest.

Summer 2005:

If you would like a comfortable bar to escape the madness of soi 8 I find ILE a Finnish bar across from the Sunshine hotel a perfect place to relax.

J Club

Soi Full Love Inn

Short time bar. Part of the Night Wish chain.

Review from Dick Farang, April 2017: Kimonos

On Soi Full Love Inn one more single-unit hostess bar with doorbell and YouTube music has opened: J Club.

It is supposed to be Japanese themed , but it does look as ordinary as the neighbouring bars.

There were seven or eight birds and two of them looked slightly better than the average quality on the Soi Full Love Inn strip .

Some of them were clad in colourful beach bikinis with some kind of transparent kimonos on top, the only objects that could be labelled Japanese .

I was told ST was 300 baht in the playroom downstairs and 350 baht in a room with shower upstairs with the girls expecting 1,000 to 2,000 (!) baht ST.

For the complete duration of my visit I was their only customer.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht.

Pattaya Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak)

Beer bar with food

Review from Dave, May 2009: Well Positioned

Good well priced food at this bar and very well positioned for checking out the talent at other bars as well as getting recon from the expats and regulars that drink there.

Also a good bar to go to if you want to see any sporting events.

Good place to chill out if you aren't in the mood for a bar girl.

Review from Swanks, August 2006: Tarred with a New Brush

The lightning struck tower of change has hit the Jack Tar big time! The place is still inhabited by the same bawdy and good natured ex-pat crowd with the odd tourist who thinks he has slipped in unnoticed, but gone are the poisonous grim meanies and especially the chief viper from the kitchen.

Not only was my visit well worth it for the food, but I got a beaming smile , very friendly, very welcoming and attentive service from some quite charming waiting and bar staff. Nothing seemed too much trouble for them!

I thought I'd gone in the wrong bar by mistake! Well worth a visit now! Don't forget its not a late night place though, more for an afternoon of spirited debate , if you take my drift!

Review from Swanks, April 2006: Service with a Scowl

This always was a "Beer n Sport" bar and was previously very welcoming.

Since the ousting of Scrumpy George by the bar girl mafia there, it really has been the tail wagging the dog! George's management style might have been a bit "Faulty Towers" ,but he managed to keep a lid on what started as a bad attitude in the kitchen,and then spread to the rest of the staff like clap at Loy Krathong. Now it really has took hold and even the new Thai manager seem to have mastered the lip curl (as used on social inferiors by Thais) . This is issued on every possible occasion now and usually is accompanied by "Knowing looks" between staff members. This attitude problem has been mentioned to me by several of the former customers without my saying anything first so it cant be just my imagination.

Beer still cheep and the food is possibly the best, for the price, in Pattaya. Just don't expect service with a smile.

Review from Dick Farang, August 2015: A tickle unfancied

Jade House off Thappraya Road is still German-owned, but no longer by Gerd from Berlin.

What I always find weird at Jade House is that the idle girls are sitting outside (not many top models among them to use an understatement), but that you have to get into the lounge bar to order your drink and that you are followed inside by a girl who seldom tickles your fancy.

Barfine (room included) still 300 baht ST with the girls expecting 1,000 baht ST.

The en-suite hotel rooms are rather small, but very nice with a big mirror on the wall and a smaller one on the ceiling and several erotic paintings, the kind you see everywhere around in painting shops.

I was told that the salaried girls have to be there from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. and are paid 7,000 baht a month with a day off every 15 days.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht, lady drinks 110 baht, both up 10 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, November 2014: Intimate Corners

Jade House is located in a neglected village between Thappraya Road Soi 7 and Thappraya Road Soi 9. At the entrance of this village are two arches with an abandoned sentry box. Inside the village is first on the left-hand side Refresh Fitness Club and then on the right-hand side Jade House. (On Thappraya Road there is a big sign for Refresh Fitness Club.) The entrance to Jade House is a small sub-soi between two buildings.

On a German-language forum I read that Jade House is (or has been) owned by a German named Gerd.

The original name was Jade House Berlin (see Google Streetview).

This club consists of a dark lounge bar with some intimate corners and a rather big garden surrounded by hotel rooms with a de facto unused swimming pool, a small fish pond and numerous Buddhist statuettes.

Most girls were flocking together outside near the entrance and seemed all to be over thirty years old, but they were friendly enough.

They are all freelancers who get a share of 40 baht for a lady drink and 100 baht for a barfine and expect a fee of 1,000 baht for ST.

Barfine, room included, 300 baht.

I was recognised by Taa, a threeholer who used to dance many moons ago at Catz A-GoGo on Soi Arab (one of the previous incarnations of Pe Pe Club). I had to admit that for her 35 years she still looked very good. (Those Thai girls really have elephant memories, or at least very strong visual memories.)

Bottled Heineken 80 baht, lady drinks (apple juice on the rocks ) 100 baht.

Review from Ishi, September 2014: Once a Hidden Gem

I visited at 4:30pm.
I saw about 15 ladies in the bar and courtyard.

Everything is almost the same for 5 years.
Opens everyday 1pm-8pm.
Water 60B.
Heineken 80B.
Lady drink 100B.
Bar Fines 300B(including the ST room).
Food ticket 200B (on Wednesdays only. Including 2 drinks).

Review from Pattaya Secrets , November 2011: Not So Good

Now 1000 Baht for the girl and 300 for the room. Beer is 80 Baht. Pretty much the same prices as similar venues, but Jade is the loser in terms of quality of the girls.

Review from Pattaya Secrets , April 2010: Still Good

Still good compliments for the BBQ garden, pool and the rooms. Mentioned that the all in price was 1000 Baht.

Review from Ian, November 2011: Reserved

I have been in this bar twice.

The first time I went there was reserved signs on the bar and tables beside the bar where no one was sitting. I bought a drink and was told by the bar staff I would need to leave the bar area as the seats were all reserved. I said I would sit at the bar and move when the people who reserved the seats arrived. I was told this was not allowed and had to sit myself away from the bar area. Drank my drink and said I would not be back.

Went again last night about a year after the first time to see if things have changed.

What do you think? Exactly the same. Again the staff informed me I could not sit at the reserved seats even though no one was sitting at them.

Will not be back again.

Review from Pattaya Chat, March 2005: Good Track Record

Very nicely fitted out but like has already been said it is in the middle of nowhere but that can be a good thing if you want a quiet drink with a few friends away from the madness and there is plenty of space for parking in the pub car park. The couple of times I've been in the place it was pretty empty which is a shame really as it could be a good boozer if it can get enough custom.

The manager used to own Jools in Bkk about 10 years ago and also the TQ2 as well as managing Delaneys/Shenanigans and is a nice guy.

Great weekend carvery and wonderful staff. 50 Baht for a coke, 30 Baht for water

Review from Pattaya Chat, March 2005: Pea and Sham Soup!

Was one of the Manager's first customers when he had Jools in Bangkok where portions were super-size, especially the Pea and Ham soup. Therefore when I tried Jamesons a while back for lunch and saw the aforementioned soup on the menu I decided that past experience would prevail. Ordered Pea and Ham Soup and Roast Beef sandwich.

Soup arrived, a smattering of green sludge was deposited on the bottom of the bowl. indeed not enough liquid to drown the proverbial fly! The sandwich arrived, two miniscule pieces of bread buried under a mass of rabbit fodder, specifically requested NOT to be supplied! Somewhere there were two tiny slivers of meat, and I do mean tiny!

The manager was called for who just laughed in my face as I explained politely my dissatisfaction. Needless to say never been back.

Review from Pattaya Addicts June 2007: Packed

Jane's dares to be different. It offers all Thai beers at 35 Baht a bottle, Thai whisky for 25 and proper whisky for 50, including mixers. It is packed every night!

Catering very much to the ex-pat retiree crowd it has become known to the Thais who work the street as the Bar Gaer (old people's bar).

With lots of seating, friendly if slightly worn staff, a pool table and an attached burger van, Jane's dishes out the Pattaya bar experience on a budget for those whose pensions need to be stretched a little.

Ok, so the bargirls stopped being girls quite a few years ago and you'd rather take them back than take them home but the crowd is warm and welcoming and, just as in any likeminded neighbourhood bar back home, you see the same faces in the same seats every night.

I like it very much.

Review April 2006: Transformers

I was enticed in by the prospect of checking out one of the 4 or 5 attractive girls waiting to serve. There were in fact about 10 working at the bar but a few would have been shooed away.

I sat down to watch the Jomtien world to pass me by but the view was somewhat overshadowed by a rather large electric pylon and transformer that sit directly in front of the bar.

No problems, I had an attractive hostess so I turned by gaze inwards instead. Couldn't stay too long though as it was a hot evening and this bar offers little in the way of effective fans.

Bottled beer and coke were 60 Baht & 50 Baht. Lady drinks are 90 Baht

A welcome air conditioned bar at the end of Soi Whitehouse. The bar has a small bar area and a few sofas. The sofas were press ganged into a sleeping area for the girls on duty rather than for customer seating.

The girls were welcoming enough but after a while preferred to chat amongst themselves. Late offers of short time seemed a little unconvincing after being ignored from proceedings for the last half hour.

Review from Dave16, October 2016:

I paid a visit to this bar to investigate whether the reputation for naughtiness was deserved.

It is! Few girls in residence but the one I chose quickly began some investigations of her own. Within 30 seconds of sitting down her tongue was down my throat and her hands inside my shorts. My shorts were soon around my knees and I was getting a helping hand for the price of one lady drink. Needless to say we quickly adjourned to a slightly closed off area at the back of the bar and I got a first class bj and thorough ball licking for 700 baht.

Well recommended for a visit if you are short of time!

News June 2014: Something Clicks

It is reported that King Kong has been bought out by the more fun loving Click Bar. Hopefully this could mean a return to the hey day of King Kong when it was once noted as the raunchiest bar in Pattaya

Comment September 2010: Low Key

The bar seems to be pretty low key these days with little signs of the traditional naughtiness and not many girls. Bottled beer 85 Baht.

Review from Pattaya Addicts , Sep 2007: Sold

Fans of the old style, "anything goes in the bar", may be somewhat disappointed.

King Kong has a new owner, a German with local wife. Fun in the bar is now said to be off the menu.

The price of a beer has increased from the standard 60 baht to 75 baht.

Review from Pattaya Secrets , April 2006: No Techno Boombox

Sadly, King Kong seems to be on the downside. The last 3 or 4 times I've been in it has been dead. Not many punters and listless girls. It may be just part of the life cycle of bars.

If you go, I think after 10:30 would be best as the girls get up to antics in search of baht as the clock ticks toward closing time.

Music is still a good mix of blues, r&b, bluegrass and alt. country, no techno boombox shit.

Still worth a visit though to a Pattaya landmark of sleaze.

The food in the restaurant is good and you can eat at the bar if you wish. They have a good barbeque on Saturday evenings.

There is a pool table but it can not be used if it is raining as it is not fully under cover.

I visited this bar two nights running and stayed for an hour or two. On both occasions I was the only customer so pop in. They will be pleased to see you!

In Jomtien KitCat on a narrow pedestrian alley off Dongtan Beach was nearly deserted on my latest visit.

They did not seem to understand smoke/suck/kin ham (oral), boomboom hoy (vaginal) or boomboom toot (anal), but one of them said a young boy had paid her 3,000 baht, not sure what for.

The cashier and the waitress looked better.

Bottled Heineken 95 baht now, lady drinks still 125 baht.

Review from Dick Farang, September 2016: Kit Inspection

In Jomtien, towards the end of a narrow pedestrian alley off Dongtan Beach and left of Country Road bar, KitCat Lounge-Bar has opened on 1st September 2016 (grand opening on 7th September 2016).

This soi, more or less opposite the police station, has been home for many years to small worn beer bars and snack bars (such as Dutch-owned Ons Moeder ), many of them closed by now.

KitCat Lounge-Bar looks rather posh for this neighbourhood.

The layout consists of booths with bench seating with very high backs, perhaps meant for privacy. The lighting was rather bright.

In front of KitCat Lounge-Bar a bunch of available girls in black dresses were sitting around a table, waiting for customers.

One of them followed me inside and took my order. She told me she was thirty years old, had no children, had had a farang boyfriend and had been selling (expensive) shoes on the second floor of Central Festival.

Just before starting in the P4P business she had invested in big silicone bolt-ons. The pussy in her white string was neatly shaven and, surprisingly, instead of a bra she was wearing white round pasties on her nipples. To be honest her hard plastic boobs turned me off, but that is me.

I was told the takeaway barfine was 700 baht, but that they also had in-house ST rooms at 500 baht, no barfine due.

The girls' asking prices appeared to be 1,000-1,500 baht ST and 1,500-2,500 baht LT, depending on self-perceived quality.

Not many customers.

Opening hours 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht, lady drinks 125 baht.

Review from Malcolm, May 2012: Ups and Downs

Called in Kittens Bar on Soi 13/2. Its a short time bar and I ended up with a lovely girl. But the room was crap complete with a water tank plumbed in by one of Thailand's finest, the shower was down the landing, but she more than made up for it.

Went back again for a second helping with the same girl. This time went to a different room, en-suite, large, it was good and so was the service again.

B1000 for girl and room. Bottle of Coke B60.

Naklua Road

German themed bar became Ryan's Bar in 2008

Klein Heidelberg

Naklua Soi 18
(not far from Naklua Road).

klein-heidelberg-pattaya.com

German Restaurant

Klein Heidelberg is a German restaurant on the right-hand side of Naklua Soi 18, not far from Naklua Road.

Before it was invaded by McDonald's et al. some decades ago, Heidelberg was a very picturesque city in Western Germany. It is home to the oldest university in Germany and the previous Thai king Ananda Mahidol (Rama XIII) was born there.

It is praised by the song Ich hab' mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren (I Lost My Heart in Heidelberg) and Elvis Presley's Wooden Heart was based on the traditional student song Muß i' denn .

In Mannheim, a stone's throw from Heidelberg, Karl (or Carl) Benz built the first motor car and his more marketing-minded wife Bertha and their sons undertook the first ever long-distance motor car trip, from Mannheim via Heidelberg to Pforzheim.

Bertha Benz

Note that in many languages the word for petrol is derived from the surname Benz ("Benzin" in German, "benzine" in Dutch and even เบนซิน = "bensin" in Thai), but in those days they had to rely on solvents for cleaning sold in pharmacies. Even today in petrol stations in Thailand if you want pure petrol, not gasohol, ask for "bensin".

Do not confuse Klein (Little) Heidelberg in Naklua with Alt (Old) Heidelberg on Beach Road near Walking Street, which is a disaster.

Klein Heidelberg is very spacious and open fronted with nice wooden tables and (a bit strange) wooden swivel chairs.

The only inconvenience are the countless passing buses with budget Chinese who are shipped to and from a tourist trap somewhere towards the end of Soi 18.

The "small" Flädlesuppe (beef consommé with pancake stripes) with a slice of German quality bread at 75 baht and the Kaßler (slightly smoked, slightly brined, steamed pork loin) with Sauerkraut (fermented white cabbage) and mashed potatoes at 245 baht were excellent.

As usual in German restaurants the portions were very generous. The "small" soup was bigger than what you get at many places. I wonder what their "big" soup looks like.

They sell Chang and (BEWARE: cloudy) Weihenstephaner Hefeweißbier on draught. They also sell bottled Warsteiner (a bit too sweet to my taste) and German spirits.

Klein Heidelberg appears to be popular within the German community.

It is one of the scarce remaining German restaurants in Greater Pattaya that still offer original quality food.

Price Report, Sept 2008:

Review by Steve, Feb 2006: Community

This is the bar on the main road to the beach, its sister KR (or whatever, typical Thai lack of imagination in naming places) is in the off-road soi at the back. There are comfortable cushioned seats right alongside the road. Look right and you are just 30 or 40 yards from the beach. A nice spot to relax, though the traffic fumes can be a pain.

Very friendly ladies and cold beer. Cheaper than some places, too, though at New Year they put the price of a bottle of Heineken up to 70 Baht.

Decent toilets. Free pool from 7:00 until midnight. They make a real effort here, the way they decorate the place for Halloween, Loy Krathong and various parties is a pleasure to behold.

The ladies live on-site upstairs so they have a genuine sense of community. There’s also relatively little staff turnover, so you can get to know the ladies and they probably won’t be gone tomorrow. As with all beer bars, the ladies are mostly not stunners, but at present there are certainly two hot girls here who love to make some money outside the bar confines.

Review from Pattaya Addicts , Oct 2007: Fun

The music was a little too loud for me, but the girls were really great. There were always many people, and everybody was having fun.
