Short time bar opened in 2015, taking part of the Trafalgar Guest House building

  News from Dick Farang, December 2016: Dressed to undress

On my latest visit to Bar de la Poste on Soi Lengkee there were only fatties and extreme fatties.  They were clad in white plastic fedoras and white T-shirt-like dresses without underwear. For a lady drink they would drop their dresses.

I happened to be the only customer and the ladyboy cashier ordered them one by one to offer me their services.

I was told that the barfines were 300 baht one drink included for the play corners and 400 baht no drink included for the ST room upstairs.  Fees for the females were 500 baht for BJ, 700 baht for FS without anal and 1,000 baht for FS with anal.

Bottled Heineken still 80 baht, lady drinks still 110 baht.

  Review from Dick Farang, January 2016: Play Corners

Bar de la Poste on Soi Lengkee is open from 1.30 p.m. to 2.00 a.m., which is half an hour more than the Post Office on Soi Post Office, which opens from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

As usual I was escorted in by a ladyboy.

The bar area seemed darker than in the past and the quality of the girls seemed to have gone down.

The females still lack underwear under their short stretch dresses and their tariff is still 500 baht for BJ and 700 baht for FS.

One girl was running around in her birthday suit, probably after servicing a gentleman.

I was told that the ST room upstairs is no longer available and the barfine for the play corners is still 300 baht.

Nice and clean toilets.

Bottled Heineken still 80 baht, lady drinks now 110 baht down from 120 baht.

  Review from Dick Farang, July 2015: A discreet package

On Soi Lengkee, two units past French owned Le Private, a bar along the lines of Mango Pub on Soi Khao Noi has opened: Bar de la Poste .

Look for the sign of Trafalgar Bar & Guest House. The entrance is rather discreet and you have to ring the bell to get in.

The bar is spacious enough and the lighting is satisfactory.

The girls are not all top models, but they are not shy at all. There were seven or eight of them sitting on bar stools in dresses that were short enough to reveal their shaven pussies.

For lady drinks of 120 baht they drop their dresses, the only garments they are wearing apart from their shoes, and you can inspect their bodies.

Barfines are 300 baht behind the BJ counter and in the playroom downstairs and 400 baht in the ST room upstairs. The girls expect 500 baht for a BJ and from 700 baht for FS.

When I arrived I was the only customer, but soon a group of three or four other farangs came in, who were having a good time with a couple of girls getting undressed.

Shortly before I left a group of French speaking men arrived, who started chatting among them.

Bar de la Poste appears to be French owned.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht.

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.

  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.

  New Dec 2008: Refit

The notable Buffalo Bar on 3rd Road is nearing the end of phased improvements and is now refitting its short time rooms. Previously they had been condemned by customers if not Pattaya council hotel inspectors.

  News from Pattaya Secrets Nov 2008: Renovation

In the past weeks, they have put up full height mirrors on the remaining walls, hung international flags over the bar, wooden pailing (fence) on the outside hedge walls onto Soi Vinai and tonight put up a Gogo type spinning light ball on the ceiling.

During the "Closure" period they were working hard in the bar to finish off the upgrades. In the bar they have repaired seats and replaced the seat cushions, changed the Podiums again with colourful lighted bases.

Next they will upgrade the upstairs slum rooms.

Restaurant & pub

 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.

Carré Blanc Le Club

Soi Full Love Inn
(running east off 3rd Road opposite Soi XZyte)

From 1pm-midnight

Private club. Previously Stupid Cupid & Pantry Bar. Bottled beer 90 Baht. Lady drinks 130 Baht

  Review by Dick Farang, August 2016: Moving

The infamous Carré Blanc has moved from Third Road Soi 33 to a double-unit shophouse on Soi Full Love Inn.  On the same strip are also the single-unit shophouses 007 Gentlemen's Club, Club 4 and Pirates Hostess Club.

Soi Full Love Inn is off Third Road Soi 18/Soi Bongkod. Note that on the signs the street name is rendered as "BONG KOCH", which is an incorrect transliteration as the 10th Thai consonant chor-chaang (ช) is pronounced as a "ch" at the beginning of a syllable, but as a "d" at the end of a syllable. The easiest way to get there is following the big signs of the Full Love Inn motel from Third Road or also from Soi Arunothai.

At "le nouveau" Carré Blanc the door was opened before I could find a doorbell.

On the left-hand side is a big bar counter with bar stools. On the right-hand side are small booths that can be curtained off.

The new premises are much brighter than the old ones.

The females were the hardened-pro kind. No top quality, at least not in the looks department.

I was told that for a lady drink they would remove one piece of clothing. As they were wearing bras and pants underneath that could become an expensive experience. I saw not the slightest nudity.

I was also told they have rooms upstairs at 300 baht (barfine included) and 1,000 baht for a three-hole experience was expected.

A group of men were chatting together and nothing exciting was happening.

Bottled Heineken 100 baht.

  Review by Malcolm, January 2013:

Pretty much a B/J bar. One end of room was curtained off for blow jobs. Not private though, there were 3 guys getting entertained. 500B for girl, 300B to bar.

130B for lady drink and 50B for Singha

  Review by Xitroen, July 2010: A Friendly Warning

But some three weeks ago the sign changed and it became Le Carré Blanc, The White Square in English. I knew nothing about this bar at the time, but later I spotted it in a free French newspaper. I learned from an advertisement that it is a French bar and a private club. And in Pattaya, private club means unbridled sex... And that is what you seek, is it not, my fellow perverts?

For English speakers who do not know France, the white square is a French institution that no longer exists but remains in the collective memory of many men approaching their fifties. The white square was introduced on French television in March 1961, shortly after the airing of the film The Execution, by Maurice Cazeneuve. The film featured a few seconds of a female nude. Shame! And to see a nipple under De Gaulle was taboo! No joke!...

Which means that, today, only the French understand the meaning of the name of this club ... The name is not entirely original though as some bars and discos also use the name in France.

So last night I went there at 23h. On entering all the girls turned to me and purred hello and welcome, almost like a choir singing... hardly discreet... But I loved it!

Maybe a little curious though as it is not often that Pattaya customers are so well received and with such warmth! The place is relatively small, with a cozy atmosphere. On entering, you see the bar, it is square (but not white!). Towards the back left are large comfortable black sofas with small glass tables and screens to hide a little of what's happening there in the name of discretion.

In front of the bar are some small round tables. Everything is simple and clean. The atmosphere is provided by dimmed lights which are very relaxing on the eyes. Good music (sometimes French) and not too loud to talk without having to scream, unlike some other places ...

The principle of the Le Carré Blanc is simple: you can do anything you want with whom you want, where you want and however you want.

Before I left I visited the rooms that are well kept and clean, nothing more to say there.

I paid  300 baht for the Barfine, 500 to the girl and for the drinks, everything is very reasonable and honest. Here they do not fuck the customer, just the opposite ...

  News from HJ, June 2010: Fun in the Club

According to the sign and a notice on the bar door said that it was open from 1pm to midnight but the door was locked and curtained. There was also a notice on the door to say it was a private club.

At another nearby Bar I was informed that it had changed hands and that the new managers were French and had been running the Telephone Bar.

Many people were complaining about the beer prices and the lady drinks at 150bt each but that none of the ladies wore underwear and they would strip off for fun in the Bar if the customer paid the 300bt Bar fine.

It would appear that most of the customers are French and the ladies older ones from the Telephone Bar.

The Castle

3rd Road (half way between Pattaya Klang & Pattaya Tai near the Buffalo Bar)

From 5:30pm

www.the-castle-pattaya.com

  Notes from Pattaya-Live, September 2012: Fun in Black

The prices add up to 4500 Baht for an hour of fun. Customers have the choice of a fuck session with a slave girl or else an hour with an unfuckable mistress who offers various levels of torment. There is a dress code requirement to wear black. Reviews are generally very good from those who have partaken.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, April 2011: Terrorific

If you enter the club you have to buy one drink, of your choice, priced at 950 baht. The casual bar hopper will be shocked at this, cry rip off and leave. That is what they want.

When you first come inside you will be directed to the small bar that is in the main entryway. You will order your drinks and the ladies will come out. They do not have a lineup, instead they have a little show.

After the show the ladies will come over to you. If you want them to show you around the club one of them will although there is an expectation that you will buy a lady drink. Lady Drinks are not cheap-250 baht.

The main bar area has a bondage chair and a caged off area, in the back, is a full bedroom with bed, wall mounted bondage X and a full bathroom. There is a small circular room with no door and just a small area to sit with chains. There's also a large bondage room with a variety of equipment: a Gynecologic exam table, a police lock up box replica, stocks , a mini schoolroom with desk and blackboard, a bondage X and T and a variety of specialty bondage furniture. The club also has all kinds of toys, ropes and whips.

Short times and barfines are available at higher than normal prices reflecting perhaps the specialist practitioners.

The Castle is a terrific Fetish Club.

  Review from Pattaya Polecat, March 2007: Hit Me Baby One More Time

If, like the Polecat, you’ve been putting off going to The Castle because of the high prices, or because you’re scared of getting a damn good thrashing, think again. The Polecat’s just lost his Castle cherry, and is now manically putting aside all his little silver bahts for the next visit.

Read the full review on Thailand Nightlife Roundup

  Review 2006: First Fetish

Fun Town's first fetish establishment, called The Castle, opened its rather imposing heavy door for business in late December 2003. It specifically caters for those whose tastes in fashion run to whips, chains, PVC, latex, and leather.

The place was opened by the same French management who operate a similarly-named fetish joint in Bangkok. The gear, which also includes nurse and schoolgirl uniforms is being supplied by Pattaya's premier fashion house Boutique Sexy (their showroom is in Naklua Soi 33).

In order to get punters in the right sado-masochistic mood, the first drink in the place will set you back 900 baht. All drinks after that are just a trifling 200 baht. The management stress this is not a drinking bar; it is a place for like-minded people to come and indulge in their favourite fantasy. To really keep the screws turning, there is definitely no copulation on the premises, no matter how excited you might get over the sight of a couple of latex-clad damsels beating each other with an overripe cucumber. If you want to engage in something un-natural like sexual intercourse then fork out the 1,500 baht bar fine and take your leather feather duster and your lady back to your place.

The Castle has a dress code of which the colour black is one of the necessary component parts. It opens at 5:30PM and closes at 2:00AM and at present has a staff of around 14 dominatrixes/submissives who have been trained by an Englishman. A lady drink is a suitably humiliating 250 baht, but the bar has a strict policy dissuading damsels from asking for a libation. The choice is completely up to the customer.

The Cave

Soi LK Metro

Live band from 8pm

 The Cave

Live rock band venue opened in November 2014, taking over from Submarine A-GoGo. Happy Hour beer 55 baht.

  News, December 2014: Customer drinks at lady drink prices

It has been reported that the bar charges lady drink premium prices for Thai female customers accompanying farangs. The lady may have no connection with the bar but is paid a lady drink commission as an incentive (at the farang customer's expense) for her to bring custom to the bar.

  Comment from Dick Farang, December 2014: Live band

At the previous location of Submarine A-GoGo on Soi LK Metro is now The Cave, a rather dark open bar with a very noisy live band in the back.

  News from Dick Farang, December 2016: Gone to the wolves

On Soi LK Metro, where Club Malibu used to be, is now Champagne Coyotes, a glass-fronted beer bar.  From time to time one or two coyotes were performing on top of the counter. I could not be arsed to waste time and money there. I wonder when they are finally going to send those "coyotes" back to the prairie, where prairie wolves belong.

It has been bought by the Nikom Court on the opposite corner who have the same system but lounge area there is much bigger with plenty of tables and the Soi Dianna food stalls at that end also serve into Nikom Court lounge as well as to the street and you can also take other food in. I don't think that Charlie Hotel's self service fridge will be as busy as Nikom Courts

  Review by Dick Farang, February 2017: Lust

On Soi Full Love Inn one more hostess bar with doorbell has opened: Sin Club.

As most bars on that strip (i.e. with the exception of Le Carr39 Blanc which is double unit and Pirates which is one and a half unit) it is a narrow single-unit bar.

On the signs the name is spelt both Sin Club and Club Sin.

The bar appears to be part of Bryan Flowers's empire.

(On the same strip another smallish, presumably Japanese themed, bar by the same group is taking shape: J Club.)

The layout of Sin Club is nothing to write home about: a bar counter with bar stools on the right-hand side and one curtained-off area to the rear.

I was their only customer and saw about six mediocre girls around the thirty-year mark.

Barfine 300 baht, room upstairs or curtained-off area downstairs included, FS 1,000 baht.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht.

Come Together

Gentlemen's Club took over from Le Carré Blanc in December 2016.

  Review from Dick Farang, February 2017: Come Alone

On Third Road Soi 33, at the previous location of Le Carré Blanc, Come Together has opened. The entrance is behind the corner now.

The bar counter with some bar stools is near this new entrance. There are some bar stools more along the outer wall (in fact curtains in front of windows), a sofa and a small curtained-off area. No ST rooms. It looked less dark and even sleazier than in its previous incarnation.

I saw four or five old fuglies that I would not even have touched with a bargepole, but that is me. I was told BJ was 500 + 300 baht and FS 1,000 + 300 baht.

The female I spoke to said she had 'men' (menstruation) and hence did only smoke. I would not be surprised if everybody there had 'men' every day of the week. Behind me a gentleman sitting on a bar stool was being smoked.

Unsurprisingly all other patrons appeared to be frogs. (When I was young political correctness was not yet invented and racism was rampant. Our Dutch neighbours were considered clean people (not yet coffee shops by then) and the French the dirtiest bastards on earth, with the possible exception of the Chosen People.

Some sixty years ago our school trips started at 5 or 6 a.m. and consisted of swallowing as many kilometres as possible and as much lemonade as possible. Although there were hardly any motorways by then, the objective was to cover as many provinces as possible. Once it was decided to even cross the French border from the province of Namur.

In those pre-Schengen times it took at least half an hour of negotiations with the customs people before we could cross the border into the village of Givet. After 10 or 20 metres on French soil we were already convinced: France was even dirtier and more underdeveloped than Wallonia.)

Open 2 p.m. until 12 p.m.

Bottled Heineken 95 baht.

  Review from Pattaya Chat, Feb 2007: Value

I know it is not the classiest joint you can find, and his TV adverts probably put off as many people as they attract, but it was actually rather good and incredible value. He does an English breakfast at 60baht and one he charmingly calls the 'Fat Bastard' at 100baht. I had the Fat Bastard and it was very good. It came with tea and toast and butter and had everything: bacon, 2 sausages, 2 eggs, black pudding, fried bread, mushrooms, beans etc the lot. Incredible value at 100 baht. And quick service as well.

Looking at his prices Crazy Dave's must be one of the best value places in Pattaya. Certainly, worth a trip up the soi if you fancy farang food in the middle of the night.

Oh yes, 'Only Fools and Horses' was on the big screen TV whilst I was there.

  March 2006: Cheap Chang

Best thing about it is the atmosphere (feels like it's been there for 30 years, very comfortable) and the 35 baht Chang. Love the grilled ham & cheese.

Gentlemen's Club opened on 21st May 2017. It seems associated with a Bangkok bar with the same name that closed in 2016.

  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..."

   Review from Dick Farang, February 2014: Seeing red

The dominating colour of the interior is red.

For my bottled Heineken I first got a hand-written bill mentioning 80 and H. Then the waitress took away that hand-written bill and replaced it by a printed bill mentioning happy hour Heineken 100, discount 20 and subtotal 100. I paid with a 100 baht note and got no change. Something is not right with their maths if you ask me. Not for repeat business anyway.

  News from Devils Den, October 2011: Day of Rest

In keeping with the Devil's Den commitment to both customers and staff, we have decided to change our hours of business. Effective from the 1st of November 2011, we will be closed on Sundays. Our Monday through Saturday hours of operations will continue to be from 1:00 pm until 12:00 Midnight.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, April 2011: ALL In

The Devil's Den also runs on a one price model. You pay one price and that covers everything. There are no barfines, lady drinks or other costs that so commonly add up on a visit to any other place in town. There are no hidden charges or surprises. Tipping is also absolutely NOT required or expected. (The ladies will take them, though.) The Devil's Den always requires that you have two ladies-that is included in the one price. And the Devil's Den give you 90 minutes.

After getting the rundown, the ladies will come in for a lineup. The ladies come out and line up for your review. You will notice that some of the ladies are to the left and some to the right of a yellow line. The ladies on one side do anal and the ladies on the other side do not. The ladies also do a variety of other things. (like golden showers, ect.)

After selecting the ladies you will go upstairs to a room. The rooms are nice. They all have televisions with vcr's that can play porn of your selection. Some of the rooms have swings for use some do not. You will have fun. It's party time!

  News September 2009: Raided

The bar has suffered another police raid by Immigration police. But re-opened 9th October 2009.

  Review May 2009: Devilish

 The bar now offers a booking service both for in-call and out-call

The bar specialises in multiple partners and multiple orifices. it is well worthwhile checking out their website for further details.

Traditionally the fun is with two girls guaranteeing a full 90 mins. They are equipped with toys and visual aids etc. The in-call all in price is 3600 Baht. Of course other combinations of number of girls and time are available.

The girls have regular medical checks and the results are posted on the website.

Something of a unique feature of Pattaya that the owners suggest everyone should try once in their life. Plenty of forum posters seem to agree.

  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. No nudity, 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.

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.

  News from Pattaya Today: Night March, Nov 2008: Coyote's Off

It appears as though the experiment of trying to be a noshery during the day and early into the night and then turning into a coyote dance den later in the evening has failed.

After not being able to attract much in the way of chrome pole molesting talent it seems the owners have sensibly ditched the idea and are now getting more sleep at nights.

  Review from Graham, Sept 2008: New GoGo or Not

Howard was doing one of his Pattaya One News promo features on Ingos Bar and Restaurant, opposite the Buffalo Bar. Ingo's is a Scandinavian Bar.

He claimed following renovation, it was now a Restaurant in the day and an A-GoGo in the evening.

Last night at about 1:00am, looked across the road and saw ONE COYOTE (i.e.: fully clothed) girl on a pole. I have yet to do a visit to the place to confirm the situation.

Watching the TV promo, there appeared to be 2 poles.

Our belief is anything less that 3 poles and continual dancing is NOT an A-GoGo Bar.

Judge your self, but that is my view

J Club

Soi Full Love Inn

Short time bar

  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.

  News May 2009: Budget

Thai beers now at 40 Baht after hefty tax increase

  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.

Le Private is a French owned beer bar on Soi Lengkee.

It often happens that no girls are sitting outside and the (sliding) doors are closed to save on air conditioning.

Inside were more (mostly French speaking) customers than girls and a lot of cigarette smoke.

The (mostly Thai-Khmer) girls were sub-average as usual, but not too unfriendly.

  Review from stickmanweekly.com, September 2010: Socks Pulled Up

The model of dark, sleazy venues with old, ugly and often overweight wenches is a model that should never have been successful, yet it has been when, by default, there has, until now, been no other real options. Lolita's Pattaya has well and truly raised the bar and the term gentleman's lounge is both appropriate and valid. Here's hoping that rather than bitch and moan and badmouth the venue, other operators pull their socks up and invest in their own premises - and that this will be the first of many venues in this style. Lolita's in Pattaya is what the bars of soi 6, and other bars of this ilk, should be.

  Review from Malcolm, Jan 2010: Expensive Lady Drinks

Lolitas on Soi LK Metro now 700B for BJ. Bought a drink for girl, bottle of something, didn't notice what coz of bott cooler. When the bill came (no bin) it was 185 Baht.

We are working hard to make your experience at Lolitas Pattaya the best ever! We have completed the remodelling of the lounge area and will be starting on the upstairs area soon.

We have several promotions available that will appeal to you and we have added several new ladies.

Please stop by and see the new look...truly a Gentleman's Lounge where you can relax and enjoy yourself.

  News from Pattaya Secrets, Oct 2008: Remodelled

I noticed that the bar has been remodelled. I must say that the changes have given the bar a great look. There is more room to move around, they have a TV for sports now.

  From the Yellow Board, February 2006: Doing the Biz

Most girls were only average at best but they dress them up in the same plaid skirts and white blouses you used to see at The Classroom gogos.

This is actually a real nice bar. The downstairs area has a bar, a pool table and a nice aquarium to divide the room and make it appear more cozy. A girl dutifully followed me in and took a drink order as I sat down on a comfortable sofa.

We talked for a while. The bar isn't doing that well in Pattaya and the owners had set up a rotation schedule with the girls from the Bangkok Lolitas. The girl I met was from the Bangkok bar. She said this bar was much much nicer, but she made more money in the big city. She asked if I wanted to "go upstairs". I inquired about rates. 600 inclusive, no tipping necessary.... unless I wanted to. So far so good.

For guys who don't like the exhibitionist quality of the Soi Post Office bars, this is probably the place for you. The "upstairs" consisted of a hallway of about 10 short time rooms. The rooms are probably only 8 ft wide. Just big enough for a barber chair, the modern kind, a table and a sofa.

Since we had privacy, I wanted to see her body. She seemed to think this was kind of unique and got into. She sat back in the barber chair and gave me some porno poses before getting down to action. She was very very good and I gave her a 200 baht tip.

I would have gone back several times and probably been a very good customer, but did not find the bar at all friendly, which may be part of why they aren't doing much biz.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, March 2006: International Appeal

A nice pub in Chiangmai style with live music and very frequented by the expats. It is really international. You can have a good chat with your friends, the service is very friendly and not fussy. Most important: the music is not loud and the prices are very moderate.

  Review from Pattaya Chat, Jan 2007: Friday Party Night

Owned by Steve from Cork , claims he's the only real Irish bar owner in Pattaya.

Nice atmospheric Irish bar, not really into sport , more music based , always a good fun bar. Holds legendary parties every Friday night , if he can't find a reason to have a party, he'll make one up.

  From the bar, May 2006: Irish Buzz

If you like the buzz and atmosphere of an Irish pub you wont go wrong at Murphy's Law, it is the only genuine Irish owned pub in Pattaya.

Although it is small; the owner Steve from Cork is a great host, every one is greeted and made welcome, and introduced to the other customers, you'll feel like a regular on your first visit.

Unusual for an Irish bar it doesn't have an 'Irishy' theme but Thai style
decor and a cozy feel. The prices are noticeably lower than other bars and the staff while attentive are not pushy.

Food can be ordered in from any of the many close by restaurants.

The bar has a Thai guy singing every night.

Average range of girls here and more recently there has been up to 7 lady boys working out front. Neither the girls or the lady boys hassle you for drinks so that is a bonus.

Bar fine is 200 Baht, 50 of this goes to the girl.
If you want some where to relax and not listen to a what a 19 year old Thai DJ thinks you like at a squillion decibels this place is worth a look.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, July 2006: Happy

I enjoy the happy hour at New Orn Bar on Soi Diana. Can't beat 35 baht Tiger bottles, unless you drink outside 7-11.

  Review from Jil in Pattaya, Aug 2007:  High Quality British Food

Prices for food were reasonable, and the dining room was clean and bright with new furniture and pleasant-enough decor. The staff seemed generally competent and the service was error-free. Everything was more than acceptable for an establishment that isn't focused exclusively on food.

Overall, Ricky's on Soi Buakhow is a nice little restaurant serving reasonably-priced, high quality British food. Definitely worth a visit for a middle-of-the-road budget combined with a good appetite.

  Review from Pattaya-Live, Oct 2008: Thai Pub

One of my favourites. Recently built with high class interior.

Best action is after 3am. Good place to take your Thai lady to she will love it. This place is quite similar to Differ. But go with some Thai people or you may not get inside. Its not a very farlang friendly place but if you live here you know how to act and behave with respect.

The music is House / Club / RnB / Thai .

Drinking is fair priced eg Red Label 1litre 950 Baht mixers are 50 Baht each.

  Review from Pattaya Secrets, September 2009: Lady Cocktails

It was a fun place. Had some friendly ladies. The only thing that I didn’t like was that they have 2 LD prices. A LD or a cocktail. Cocktails weren’t cheap and that’s what all the ladies will ask for

  News from pattayapeople.com, Nov 2008: Renovation

The bar now has 3 new owners, Ivan, Justin and Dirk. They celebrated their acquisition with a party on the 1st November.

They also announced the refurbishment of the venue including adding more sparkle to their lively Coyote Dance Show. The new bar plans to re-open later this month.

  Review from Materialsman, Nov 2008: ‘It livens up later’

This was a successful Coyote Bar style bar from it’s inception a couple of years ago, and last time I was in there, at it’s height of success, it was packed to the gills with attractive hostesses, but last night it was looking fairly forlorn.

The concept has been copied and improved upon by several Coyote style joints, and Papagayos has been left behind somewhat, perhaps due to its location? Besides us, there were only three other customers in the place, plus a couple of whom I assume were the owners, slumped over the till watching their investment slowly disappearing in front of their very eyes.

All told there were about 15 girls dotted around the bar, inclusive of three girls shuffling around on three corner podiums, but they looked pretty bored with life, on the bright side, the beer was reasonably priced at 80 baht a bottle, and a couple of the girls were quite attractive, and I am sure the owners would say that ‘it livens up later’, as they always do, but to me it looks like a bar that is slowly dying.

There was a knock at the door of our "private room". And we were warned not to "do that". Turns out, after one of the ladies went to see what was up, they showed her the video monitors. They monitor the rooms with a hidden camera to put a stop to "doing that"...

Off Soi Buakhao
(in small soi off Soi Buakhaow opposite the Sawasdee Siam building)

 Pin-Up Club

Bar taking over from Fairy Club in May 2017. The venue was once Baby Boom A-GoGo.

  Review from Dick Farang, June 2017: Big Pins

In the small soi off Soi Buakhaow opposite the Sawasdee Siam building PinUp Club has opened at the previous location of Fairy Club and before that Baby Boom A-GoGo.

It is a single-unit shophouse, where the curtains are closed when there are customers inside.

The interior has remained unchanged since the short-lived Fairy Club. Where the stage used to be in the Baby Boom days, is now a concrete bar counter with bar stools. Deeper inside, left and right, are alcoves that can be curtained off.

At the rear is a big bedroom with a bed in the middle, but without a shower. I was told that upstairs are rooms with showers.

I saw four big girls in their twenties ranging from fat to extremely fat. The non-available cashier, apparently the farang owner's ex, looked better.

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

Bottled Heineken 90 baht.

  Review from Ishi, November 2015: Pirate's Castle

I heard Pirates opened around the 6th November.

At first I imaged fetish bar like The Castle on the 3rd road but it's a normal bar with rooms.

I visited at 7:30pm and I saw 4 hostesses.

All drinks prices are almost the same as Club 4 and 007.

They open from 1pm till 1am.

  Review from Dick Farang, November 2015: Piratesses

On Soi Full Love Inn, off Soi Bongkod (Third Road Soi 18), in the same row as the infamous bars 007 and Club 4, a similar bar has opened: Pirates Hostess Club.

To be allowed in, you have to ring the bell. When I entered I was greeted by a disgusting cigarette smell, not a good start. The bar is spacious enough however.

The lighting level was not too high, but Pirates was not as dark as Le Carré Blanc or Le Téléphone. The background music was unobtrusive.

I noticed two other customers and some chubby to very chubby girls. The girl who approached me, spoke virtually no English, but I could find out she was 24 years old, had a 4-year-old son, had started working there two weeks ago and did not like anal sex. She had a big natural rack and very firm buttocks, but her pot belly turned me off. As she was kind enough I tipped her some 20-baht notes on her strategic zones.

Bottled Heineken 95 baht, no check bin, automatic tipping (no change returned).

Replaced Pook Bar in 2016.

  Review from Malcolm, May 2016: Reputation Management

Pook Bar on Soi Buakho or to give it's full name Pook Swan House P32 Bistro & Bar, bit of a mouthfull.

I called in during an afternoon. There was a few customers on the outside terrace but I went inside for the aircon. I was the only one inside and the screens scattered around were showing Thai TV programs. I ordered a beer, Singha B65, and a guy came over and changed the screen in front of me to sports channel.

He introduced himself to me, Graham from Huddersfield in the UK, recently appointed as Manager to bring custom back and rid the reputation of the ladyboys.

It is Thai owned and a lot of money has been spent. All the furniture is new as are the fittings.

The hotel price is B850 a night B&B for walk in customers but if you book it via Agoda it is cheaper. Under Agoda it is listed as the P32 Pattaya Hotel.

I didn't eat eat there but the food I saw being served looked good.

  Review from Malcolm May 2010: Pattaya Golf Society

I called in most mornings to Rabbi's Elephant Bar and Guest House on Soi Buakaow.

Rabbi, a rather hairy Aussie guy who runs the Pattaya Golf Society from there. Golf matches 3 times a week. Prices for drink and food reasonable.

I Didn't go there at night but Nat said there were girls there on offer in the evening. Excellent toilets.

  News from Pattaya Secrets, April 2007: Bamboo Style

The Elephant Bar which opened this week is a little bit different in style than the other bars in that area. It is a large bar with a high ceiling in a double shophouse and decorated in a Balinese-Bamboo style.

Comfortable bar chairs with backrest, leather sofas, a couple of hostesses and soft background music makes this a place to chill-out and relax.

You can either sit at a small outside area or in the large aircon-part of the bar. A pool table is available.

Drink prices are reasonable eg Singha is 60 Baht.

Hopefully they will be able to attract a few more girls soon.

The Elephant bar is located on Soi Buakhao around Soi 21 near the Diana Estate.

  Review from Malcolm, September 2015: Screening Success

Retox is a new bar on Soi Lengkee, right hand side towards 3rd Road.

Opened by the previous owner of he Irish Rovers on LK Metro. Very much the same as Irish Rovers but a lot smaller. All new with some tables outside and then through the doors into aircon lounge. Many big screen TV's.

When I walked up there Saturday around 7pm all the bars on the street were either empty or very few customers. When I got to Retox it was wall to wall customers probably due to Chelsea and Arsenal on the TV's.

I didn't see a menu but food is available and I've been told he does a very cheap breakfast.

Bottle of Singha was B60.

When I walked back down some of the other bars were showing the same football match and still quiet. Maybe some of his old customers have followed him but then again the new I-Rovers is busy so maybe it's the big screens and aircon that attracts customers

I used to enjoy a quiet drink as well as an occasional nightcap in Rich Bar on Buakhao but mostly it was my 'afternoon' bar as well as a good place for the night shift to convene before heading off into the night.

Beer bar in the complex 30m from 2nd Road.

  From UP2U, Oct 2007: Chili Pepper Vodka!

Our bar is the only place in Pattaya where you can try Jelly Vodka and Pepper Vodka shots. Our famous parties are well remembered all over the world. Our customers take home sweet memories about time spent in UP2U Bar. Many of them come back year after year for great drinks, entertainment or else… We constantly update our picture galleries, please return to our web site and check our latest pictures for familiar and new faces.

As you know, most vodka will be sold as plain vodka. We have it, but our specialty is a Pepper Vodka. A Pepper Vodka looks like slightly reddish whiskey. As majority of people think, Russian and Ukrainian Pepper Vodka is the most popular remedy in those countries. Peter the Great was a great fan of pepper vodka. Connoisseurs say that it helps cure all diseases and ailments. They say it wonderfully helps at happy or sorrowful times. It is no use to argue with people, as they seem to be better aware of the issue.

Velvet Club

Pattaya Tai: Soi 16

Facebook Page

  Velvet Club

New gentlemen's Club opened in January 2017.

  Review from Dick Farang, January 2017: Stylish

On the left-hand side of Pattayatai Soi 16 near Soi Bongkod Soi 5 Velvet Club "Bar Club Hôtesses" has opened.

In front, probably because of frequent floods in that area, are three steps leading to the door. As usual this door was opened before I could ring the bell.

The interior is rather stylish.  I was told they have ST rooms upstairs, included in the 300 baht barfine.

The girls were average with the exception of an also overdressed 20-year-old slim girl from Sisaket. Although she was apparently new to the trade and extremely shy, I discovered she had a nice B rack and a tight belly.  I understood that she had kept her shape by breastfeeding her 1-year-old baby. The others said her fee was 1,500 baht, but I declined as her English was so poor that it was impossible to find out the kind of service she would be providing.

The only other customers were some farangs chatting together in the back of the bar.

It would not surprise me if Velvet Club had ownership connections with Geisha Bar off Third Road.

Bottled Heineken 100 baht, lady drinks ("fortified" apple juice) 130 baht.

Venus Love Lounge

3rd Road
(Just north of Pattaya Klang)

1pm to 11pm

 Venus Love Lounge

Short time bar new for 2009. Intermittent opening in 2011/12 and currently closed and up for sale. re-opened in December 2013 but didn't last long. Re-opened on 1st May 2014

  News from Dick Farang, September 2016: closed again

On Third Road Venus Love Lounge has closed once more.

There is a saying that a sucker is born every minute.

And there is another saying that on every flight to Thailand there is a sucker with more money than brains, who thinks he will be the most successful bar owner of the century.

The truth however is that the only way to become a millionaire in Pattaya is to arrive as a billionaire.

  Review from Dick Farang, May 2016: Lounging again

Venus Lounge on Third Road has indeed reopened.

The interior is still the same with an unused stage with chrome poles.

Outside, on the terrace, some ladyboys were sitting.

The only available female inside was Naang from Korat, 40 years old, three children, shy, short and full. She was adamant that she would never do anal.

Two other females (cashiers ?) were hiding behind the bar counter. The owner and his mate were smoking and drinking at one of the high tables.

Naang's overweight son was roaming the place, not really a playground for children. I wonder what is going on in the head of such children when they see their mama going upstairs with a customer.

No other customers.

I was told that the price of a short-time room was 400 baht and FS 1,000 baht.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht, lady drinks 100 baht.

  News from Ishi April 2016: Open

I heard the bar re-opened in January. I saw 4 ladies (one was attractive) and 1 mamasan outside, but nobody was inside the bar at 7:30pm on 1st April. Opens from 1pm to 11pm. All-in 1,400B.

  News from Ishi and Dick Farang October 2015: Closed

The has been dark for a couple of weeks. Later a 'business for sale' sign appeared.

  Review from Dick Farang, December 2014: Unloved

Venus Love Lounge on Third Road just north of Pattaya Klang seems to open intermittently.

Apparently they open at 2 p.m. and close early when they run out of girls.

When I arrived around 8 p.m. the bar was nearly deserted, no other customers.

A 30-year old girl from Ubon Ratchathani was not too unfriendly, but did not understand (let alone speak) a single word of English; perhaps she was farm fresh from the Thai karaoke circuit.

The new, ugly and not so young mamasan told me she had lived for two years in my home city and could even speak some words of Dutch, albeit hardly understandable.

When I put forward I did not see the beauties from their Facebook page, she tried to make me believe four better looking girls had been barfined and taken to some islands for a week.

Barfine ST 300 baht (room included), LT a steep 800 baht.

Bottled Heineken 90 baht, lady drinks 100 baht.

  News from Dick Farang, September 2014: Closed

Venus Love Lounge on Third Road seems to be closed again, not really a surprise.

  Review from Dick Farang, May 2014: Classically Ample Beauty

Yesterday I visited Venus Love Lounge. The exact location is on the eastside of Third Road, about 150 metres north of Pattaya Klang.

I appeared to be the only customer.

At the right side, in front of a stage with chrome poles, a bunch of fully clothed fatties were sitting; no bikinis or coyotes to be seen. There was also one old skinny girl, who seemed to know the ropes of begging for a lady drink.

The mamasan told me the younger ones were fresh from Isaan, they did not speak English, but had learnt the job in Thai karaokes. They all seemed to have big natural racks, but were still very shy.

The mamasan also told there are sometimes agency dancers.

Bottled Heineken was 90 baht, lady drinks 100 baht, bar fine (room included) 300 baht.

I doubt if they will be attracting plenty of business at their current location.

  Review from Dick Farang, November 2014: The Place 2 Bee too

On the corner of Third Road and Soi 19 Vikings Corner Bar has opened.

It is a long, narrow bar with two open sides.

It is owned by Tom from Norway who also owns The Place 2 Bee on Soi Lengkee.

Manager is Roger from Belgium who previously was the manager at The Place 2 Bee and before that owned a bar on Soi Buakhaow.

Several girls from The Place 2 Bee have been transferred to Vikings Corner Bar.

Personally I prefer The Place 2 Bee to Vikings Corner Bar.

Bottled Heineken 70 baht (at The Place 2 Bee 85 baht).

  Review from Pattaya Talk, April 2009: Premiership

A great place to watch the Premiership football at the weekend They have six different screens each showing a different game so your likely to catch your team. The food wasn’t great though.

  Review August 2007: Your Typical Pub

Strange for a themed pub but the restaurant appeared a little formulaic. There are several 'English' pubs in Pattaya, none of them offer hostesses for a chat with your meal, all expect you to be interested in the sport on TV and all seem to buy their meals from the same microwave/Boil in the bag catering suppliers.

Still the service was good, the meals were inexpensive, they were perfectly good quality and had good sized portions.

Now if only I could find an 'English' pub that would supply a pretty dinner companion.

Notes

Pattaya bars most likely to be listed are those that occupy a permanent looking standalone building. Beer bars in complexes will not be listed unless mentioned in dispatches. Gay/Thai/Karaoke bars are not listed due to a lack of expertise in those areas. Gogo bars are listed on a separate page. I have added food reviews but this is not a comprehensive service. I will only list eateries where people have submitted comments

The following reviews are those that I come across on the web, in guide books, from contributors and of course from my own visits. Reviewers may be unreasonably harsh and bar owners may present a rosy picture of their bars...so don't take everything at face value...go and see for yourself. Click on the street name to obtain a map of the bar area.

And a couple of words of warning:

• In short time rooms...keep an eye on your wallet to ensure that it stays with you long time.

• To those with Thai wives, be aware of the motor cycle taxi network used to keep tabs on errant husbands.

If anyone would like to add a review or information please email Dave at webmaster@pattayagogos.com
