Pattaya Nightlife News and Reviews

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.

What's Up Imagine re-opened on Soi 15 on 27th December 2015.

What's Up is a seasonal extension located on the first floor above What's Up Playgirls .

On Soi LK Metro, at the previous location of Oscars, Touch has opened.

The double-tier seating is very narrow and extremely uncomfortable; even for medium-sized people like me there is by far not enough knee space.

As the waitress forgot to bring my drink, I had to order it again with a different waitress.

On the central stage with seven chrome poles I saw the same number of more than overdressed coyotes wearing opaque over the knee socks, a fashion in Europe some twenty years ago.

They went on stage one at a time and some of them could have been easy on the eye if they had shown a bit more flesh.

The over the knee socks and stilettos would have matched well naked bodies.

At the rear, on a small triangular stage two sub-average topless girls were alternating and after that went for a naked shower in a cubicle behind that stage.

There was a disgusting cigarette stench.

For people like me getting bored there were also television screens with German erotic cartoons.

Bottled Heineken 130 baht.

Between Soi 14 and Soi 15, at the premises that over the last years have been more often closed than open, a new gogo has opened: The Dollhouse.

They seem to be connected with Club Electric Blue A-GoGo on Soi 15, but I am not sure if there is a link with the defunct Dollhouse on Walking Street.

The main entrance is on Soi 15 opposite Babydolls A-GoGo and the emergency exit is on Soi 14 next to Secrets Bar.

The ground plan is more or less a trapezium with the bar counter on the Soi 15 side, single-tier seating and some smaller stages with a chrome pole on each of them on the long side and very spacious double-tier seating on the two remaining sides.

The central stage is broad enough with a total of 18 chrome poles around it and a fireman's pole.

There were two alternating teams of over twenty dancers each who went on stage for not too long dance stints and stayed at the same place all the time.

In one team most of the girls were naked or topless.

In the other team most of the girls were clad in double-topped and double-bottomed huge ugly bikinis, many of them in violet colour with the word Dollhouse on the back of the pants.

On average the dancers were below average.

The music was loud and monotonous.

Shortly before midnight there were ten customers at most.

Bottled beers 150 baht, draught beer 90 baht, lady drinks 160 baht.

Only O is located in the narrow part of Soi Diamond.

The bar has been closed for most of December but re-opened on 23rd December just in time for the Christmas peak.

There are now 86 bars around Pattaya claiming to be GoGos.

Infinity is located on Walking Street. Dave writes:

I Popped into Infinity on Monday night,

There were around 10 girls all attractive, bikini and topless.

The girl opposite me was small and very attractive, wearing a bikini. She was pulling her very small G-string down and showing me her very nice pussy and putting my hands on her Breasts,

A very nice experience.

Over 100 police have been raiding bars and clubs on Walking Street and checking farangs' ID. The terrifying prospect of being banged up in a foreign prison was in prospect for several who were arrested.

Bizarrely the police claimed that it was a bid to somehow reassure tourists that Pattaya is a safe place to party. As stickboybangkok.com said:

I doubt the half dozen or so foreigners carted off in the back of a police pickup would agree.

From what I can gather the primary objective was to catch visa violators as during the raids both Thais and foreigners were asked to produce I.D. which led to a number of party people checking bin sooner than they hoped and making an unscheduled stop at the police station to answer a few questions.

The bars targeted included Sensations A-Go-Go and 808 nightclub, both popular with the tourist and expat crowd.

The Duke's Lounge on Soi Khao Noi Soi 9 has closed; it has reopened under new ownership as Sinner Lounge .

777 Nicky Bar near Mabprachan Lake has been closed for quite a while; it was a disaster from its first beginnings.

Saxo Bar Club on Soi Khao Noi has been renamed Le Rouge , probably referring to cheap red wine.

White Oyster Lounge

At White Oyster Lounge on Soi Chaiyapornwithi the gates are already wide open at 2 p.m.

There are still diving nymphs, but they are wearing string bikinis now, because of police . That being said there are some twenty-somethings now with pretty bodies, who are not shy to show the contents of those string bikinis.

The whole lot (especially the tiles and the fans) needs a bit of repair and cleaning.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht now, lady drinks 130 baht.

La Guinguette

La Guinguette on Soi Siam Country Club Soi 27 is only a pale shade of its former self.

The very fat Thai female owner and the fat girls completely ignored me, their only customer.

The fans were extremely dirty; I doubt if they are ever cleaned. The swimming pool was fenced off, but I could see a naked farang sunbathing next to it.

You can order food there, i.e. pizzas, etc. (warmed up items from the freezer I guess).

Bottled Heineken 80 baht.

Butterfly Bar

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.

Paradise

I popped into the Paradise Club in LK Metro on Saturday Night.

It was much Improved with attractive dancers, several topless and a much better atmosphere, and more interaction from the girls.

Sugar Sugar

I popped into Sugar Sugar on Friday Night.

It was very lively with attractive coyote dancers and about 10 topless dancers also very attractive.

Well worth a visit

It still does the best coffee in an A-GoGo.

I popped into The Sapphire club on soi 15, Sunday night,

It was very lively with a good atmosphere.

The Girls are all Coyote Dancers but some of the Girls have cut their shorts back so far they are almost like a G-string. There are over 100 Girls and most of them are very attractive,

Well worth a visit.

Update: Sapphire Black

19th December 2015.

It's even better in The Sapphire Club now.

some of the Girls are wearing black thigh length stockings, black knickers, a white bra and Black Braces. Some are in black negligees and black underwear.

It's the best group of Girls I've seen anywhere.

Dick Farang noted that the recently opened Wonderful A-GoGo was already closed on Pattaya Soi 13/1 (Soi Yamato) a few days ago and it now looks to be reverting to an open bar.

Meanwhile Shanghai A-GoGo on Soi Leng Kee has also been dark for a few days, although the associated bar is continuing on. The previous staff at Shanghai seem to have moved on to Touch which opened this last weekend on Soi LK Metro.

So there are now 85 GoGo's around Pattaya.

The Dollhouse opened on Soi 15 in early December. Dave writes:

I popped into Dollhouse on soi 15 Monday evening.

It's a large A-GoGo with good seating, although it was full and I was partially unsighted by a pillar.

There were lots of Girls, mostly average or slightly better. Dress was optional and most were naked.

Most of the Girls were from other A-GoGo's like Sweethearts.

Music was good.

Draft Beer 45 baht for happy hour 8-10pm

Everyone was having a good time. I will go again.

Som and Sinner Lounge

On Soi Khao Noi Soi 9 Som Bar has closed.

At the location on Soi Khao Noi Soi 9 where The Duke's Lounge and Golden Gate Bar used to be, Sinner Lounge has been opened by the people from Som Bar.

Nothing seems to have changed.

The sub-average girls were lazily sitting outside. The MILF who followed me inside spoke very little English and was aai maak maak (very shy).

I did not notice ladyboys this time.

They still have a car park opposite the defunct Som Bar and Clover Bar.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht, apparently no happy hour.

Saxo Bar Club

A couple of days ago Saxo Bar on Soi Khao Noi reopened, once again under French ownership.

The terrace is now curtained off with evergreen trees in containers.

To get in you have to ring the doorbell.

It was still as dark as before and the interior still looked the same.

I happened to be the only customer and I saw four chubby females in their thirties with pot bellies.

They were clad in short black dresses without underwear and when they were sitting on bar stools their pussies were displayed, not unlike Bar de la Poste on Soi Lengkee. For a lady drink they would reveal their charms and try to get you upstairs .

I am a bit confused as to the name as inside I saw a sign Sexi Saxo Bar .

Open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m., which is early even for the Dark Side.

Barfine ST 300 baht (room included), with the girls expecting 700 baht (or more) for boom boom .

Bottled Heineken 70 baht, first drink free, lady drinks 110 baht.

Peppermint A-GoGo is located on Walking Street in the vicinity of the Walking Street Tree. Dave writes:

I popped in to Peppermint on Monday Night and it was much better,

The Coyote Dancers are now wearing bikini's and there were lots of  Beautiful Girls on show.

A great improvement over the last couple of years,

There were not many punters but that will improve if the new Girls stay.

In a busy burst of news in the run up to high season, The Dollhouse has opened on Soi 15.

It is a well known name in both Pattaya and Bangkok. Pattaya's branch was located for many years under the Marine Disco but was in decline when it closed due to redevelopment of the site. The Bangkok branch has continued throughout.

The bar has now moved to Soi 15 next door to What's Up in the Venue that was once Illusion Pattaya, and before that, Top Girls.

Meanwhile Pandors's coyote bar, probably so called due to a sign writers error, has closed on Soi LK Metro. The venue will now converted to a GoGo and will be helmed by another well known Pattaya name, Ricky, previously managing at Private Dancer A-GoGo. Set to re-open on 11th December 2015.

On Soi Diamond the overpriced GoGo, Only O, has been dark for the last 3 nights. There are plans to get it reopened ready for Christmas on 22nd December.

The recently opened GoGo, Taboo , on Walking Street has been briefly closed and looks to be undergoing transformation into a disco or nightclub. Flyers promoting upcoming events feature DJs rather than dancers.

And still including Taboo in the list pending confirmation of changes, then there are now 86 GoGos around Pattaya.

Shanghai A-GoGo is located on Soi Leng Kee (a continuation of Soi Diana Inn between Soi Buakhao and 3rd Road)

The GoGo opened on 3rd December 2015. There were 3 topless dancers on an early visit.

It is the 85th GoGo in the Pattaya area

More information has come to light regarding an apparent ISIS plot to target Russian and other western tourists in Thailand.

The plot, which was revealed in a leaked memo obtained by Khaosod English, was marked as Secret and allegedly issued by the intelligence unit of the Royal Thai Police Special Branch. The memo claims to cite information obtained by the Russia's Federal Security Service or FSB.

The source told Thaivisa that a briefing was held early on Thursday, prior to the leaking of a memo to the press. During the briefing, officers were told of plots to target foreign tourists in Bangkok's Khao San Road, as well as on Walking Street in Pattaya.

Senior officers were told how security will be increased at major locations across the country and that Immigration will be stepping up the screening of foreigners at all border checkpoints.

New Malibu Show Bar

Last night New Malibu Show Bar on the corner of Second Road and Soi Post Office (Soi 13/2) opposite Bodega Bar was dark.

It looked as if most of the furniture had already been taken away.

Taboo

On Walking Street, at the previous location of Silver Star 3 A-GoGo, Coyote Club, Eclipse and a nameless gogo/coyote/whatever, a new gogo is trying its luck: Taboo.

My visit was short, very short, but long enough to notice the more than blaring music and the less than average dancers; no nudity.

On the left-hand side of the first section is a long bar counter now with some girls dancing on a narrow stage behind it, still without chrome poles.

Not much has changed in the second section, but they seem to have added some small unstable furniture, which makes it difficult to walk around.

While a waitress was trying to explain they had no Heineken beer, a coffee table full of drinks was showered over my feet.

High time I left. (Editors note: Probably wise, particularly as it is reported elsewhere that beers are 160 Baht and lady drinks are 210 Baht).

In Jomtien Left or Right Fantasy and Disco Club has opened some two months ago.

It is a double unit in the Rompho beer bar complex, about 100 metres from Jomtien Second Road on the right-hand side of the right lane.

Inside are a bar counter, some bar stools and three totally different stages with some chrome poles on them. The windows are blackened, but still transparent.

I saw two average, mature females and one old, ugly, chain-smoking ladyboy.

One or two of them were on stage. No nudity, but the girls liked to reveal their intimate parts for a 20-baht note.

I was the only customer and did not stay long.

BEWARE: lady drinks 160 baht.

ST in-house fun 1,500 baht all in.

No check bins .

All beers 100 baht.

Update: 13 dancers with the right kit and 1 with a bit left over

30th November 2015. From Ishi of www.pattayagogos.net (Japanese language)

I heard it's opened around 7th November.

I visited after midnight a week ago and  saw 13 coyote dancers and 1 ladyboy.

Lady drinks are 160B.

They open from 8pm till 3am.

See map for location

The Booze Lounge on Soi Khao Talo is only a shade of its former self.

The bikini girls have long gone.

At my latest visit there were some cigarette smoking Brits and a couple of unattractive, stand-offish hostesses , only interested in lady drinks served in small liqueur glasses.

During most of my working life I have had to tolerate cigarette smoking colleagues. I wonder why I would waste time and good money now on breathing polluted air.

I doubt if the owners have got the right business acumen as they have had to give up already The Booze Lounge on Soi Buakhaow and Oscars gogo on Soi LK Metro.

Bottled Heineken still 85 baht, Chang and Leo 40 baht during happy hour.

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).

Update: More on Pirates

28th November 2015. Thanks to Ishi of www.pattayagogos.net (Japanese language)

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.

Taboo opened on 27th November 2015 the latest in a long line of attempts trying for success at the Beach Rd end of Walking Street. The bar takes over from Fairies, Eclipse, Coyote Club and Silver Star 3.

The name Taboo was previously used for a GoGo in the Covent Garden Complex.

Assuming that bar continues a GoGo tradition then it will be the 84th on the list of Pattaya GoGos.

Last night Shonky's Bar on Soi Post Office (Soi 13/2) was dark. The old-fashioned street lamps had already been removed.

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.

Not the slightest nudity.

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.

Bailey's coyote bar has opened on 24th November 2015. It is located on Soi 7 towards the Beach Road end, near Silver Star 2.

Bottled Heineken is 110B. Lady Drinks are 150B.

Spanky's Pattaya closed in mid November 2015. This was despite plenty of efforts from, connections to recreate the success of the Bangkok branch in Pattaya.

The Soi Diamond venue is now set to return to its ladyboy roots as Katoeys Are Us. Back in 2010 the venue was previously a ladyboy hostess bar called Limmatquai 80.

Spanky's is still going strong in Bangkok, but in Pattaya the GoGo count drops slightly to 83.

Update: Mixed

23rd November 2015.

Its seems that Katoeys Are Us is operating as a mixed GoGo with both Katoeys and real girls.

Perhaps it should be restored to the GoGo list as the 84th GoGo. Under consideration for the moment.

On Soi Yamato (Soi 13/1), between Las Vegas II GoGo and Wonderful Bar 1 on the corner of Second Road, a nameless gogo has opened.

Inside it is broader than one would expect from outside. It has a traditional gogo layout with a central stage with three chrome poles and bench seating and mirrors on both sides.

In the right wall, hidden by a curtain, is a door towards Wonderful Bar 1. The dominant colour is black.

BEWARE: the tables for the drinks are unstable, not secured to the floor.

BEWARE: the beer can be frozen, demand they replace it.

BEWARE: the front door (Japanese influence ?) is a sliding door.

I counted nine females in white, red and yellow string bikinis. They went on stage three at a time for very long dance stints. Most of them were on the fat side with stretch marks, some also with ugly tattoos. The youngest one of the bunch was 26 years old, had two sons and a very solid body.

There was no official nudity, but for a couple of baht most of them were eager to show their tits, pussy and arsehole.

Most of the time I was the only customer.

The DJ seemed to confuse quality and quantity.

ST in-house fun 1,800 baht (500 baht barfine, 300 baht for room, 1,000 baht for girl).

Bottled Heineken 95 baht.

Wonderful A-GoGo has opened on Soi 13/1 (Soi Yamato) at the 2nd Road corner next to the Wonderful live music bar.

It opened on 14th November at which time the bar had 9 bikini clad dancers. Bottled beer is 85 Baht.

It is the 84th GoGo bar in the Pattaya area.

Venus Love Lounge on Third Road has been open earlier this year (2015), but has closed again ("BUSINESS FOR SALE").

Some infamous bars:

Excite Club on the right-hand side of Soi Xzyte (Third Road Soi 23) when coming from Soi Buakhaow is a poorly laid out bar opened by some working girls from Club 4 and 007 .

Club 4 and 007 are bars "à la française", both located on the right-hand side of Soi Full Love Inn, off Soi Bongkod (Third Road Soi 18).

I have only been drinking a beer at them, once. They are not my cup of tea and I abstain from any further comments.

More info at pattaya-addicts.com/forum and at Google Maps

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.

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.

On Soi LK Metro at the previous location of a Japanese-styled karaoke, opposite Crystal Club and between Queen Club and Showgirls Entertainment Centre, one more would-be gogo has opened: Ninja A-GoGo.

It is a double-unit shophouse with single-tier bench seating on the right-hand side and double-tier bench seating on the left-hand side. The seating is less cramped than at other gogos in the area such as Champagne A-GoGo.

In the middle is a rather broad stage with a total of eight chrome poles.

The dancers went on stage for very long dance stints in teams of five to seven. I saw one topless dancer and two bikini dancers; all the others were overdressed coyotes. Most of them seemed to be in the 30-35 age bracket and were average looking at best.

Although they had opened only a couple of days before, it was all but crowded and nobody stayed long.

Not the slightest begging for lady drinks.

I got a terrible headache from the deafening music and tears in my eyes from the cigarette smoke.

It may sound strange, but at several occasions I have detected a foul cigarette smoke smell in very recently opened venues.

I am not going back to Ninja in a hurry.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht during happy hour ( discount 40 baht).

Soi 6 bars, Dolls coyote bar and Dusk Till Dawn re-opened on 3rd November.

Ninja A-GoGo opened on Soi LK metro on 1st November. This becomes the 83rd bar in the Pattaya area that calls itself an A-GoGo. No reviews yet about what sort of bar it is.

Climax on the corner of LK Metro and Soi Buakhao has removed walls on the street and re-opened as a bar beer with some stages with poles. It re-opened on 31st October 2015.

Ninja , the latest GoGo on Soi LK Metro, opens on 1st November with a party.

Meanwhile Clover on Soi Khao Noi Soi 9 has been redone, and is now much bigger. Chris suggests taking a look and updating the review.

I popped into Electric blue on soi 15 last night, it was very busy with everyone having a good time,

All the Girls on the stage near the door were naked, all of them average or better, some very attractive. The best looking Girls were on the second stage , dressed in shorts and bra,

There were lots of Girls working their that I know, so I had a good, if expensive time,

Still the same mamasang Aom, who is very nice,

Naked Girls and cheap beer. A great combination, can be recommended.

Venus Love Lounge on 3rd Road has been dark for a couple of weeks.

Dolls on Soi 6 is still dark. I heard they got police raid and found that they had no license. Dusk Till Dawn on the same soi is dark also. I heard Dolls and Dusk Till Dawn are the same management.

Meanwhile speaking of Dolls, the defunct Dollhouse A-GoGo on Walking Street is set to reappear on Soi 15 at the venue that was previously Illusion.

Update: Jomtien Too

27th October 2015. From Pattaya Addicts

A new GoGo is being constructed in Jomtien at the Rompho Bar Complex on Jomtien's 2nd Road.

The bar first tried as a hostess bar, than tried being an Italian restaurant with coyote waitresses and is now going GoGo.

On Soi Diamond, opposite the Swiss-styled bar Gletscherallee and between the defunct Swiss restaurant Swiss House and Bar Le Trio, a new gogo has opened: Only O.

The interior is narrow, a bit cheapo, all white and well lit with a narrow central stage with a lot of chrome poles on it, seating on both sides and mirrors on the walls.

There were about a dozen overdressed coyotes, ranging from 3 to 6, most of them on stage.

Some of them appeared to have a pedigree going back to the defunct Dream Club A-GoGo and the defunct Maxine's Club A-GoGo, also on Soi Diamond.

No bikini dancers, no nudity.

Although they had opened only a couple of days before, there was already a disgusting cigarette smoke stench.

Unsurprisingly, I was the only customer.

BEWARE: bottled Heineken 170 baht; I did not enquire about other prices.

Personally I find Passion Gentlemen's Club in Jomtien as boring as most other gentlemen's clubs in Pattaya, but they appear to be popular with English, Australian and Canadian retirees.

That seems to be the same crowd that will want to go angling and playing golf and go to bed early.

The local fauna mainly consists of 30-to-50-year-old MILFs with a good command of English. The scarce twenty-somethings stay far away from the old farts. Passion is not the place to be for young boys.

Each day of the week appears to have a theme :

• Monday: commando (no underwear) + BBQ;
• Tuesday: fantasy outfits (air hostesses, angels, secretaries, nurses, school girls, etc.);
• Wednesday: Hawaii;
• Thursday: bikinis;
• Friday: cowgirls + BBQ;
• Saturday: lingerie;
• Sunday: once again fantasy outfits (air hostesses, angels, secretaries, nurses, school girls, etc.).

The notion lingerie is very loosely interpreted; I saw a thirty-something, Da, in a large opaque satin nightdress.

Unless you drive a 4x4 you better avoid the large muddy car park, which is also often flooded.

Rooms available at 350 baht for VST (very short time), i.e. 45 minutes.

Several threeholers are available from 1,000 baht, ST and LT.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht, lady drinks 125 baht.

Only O GoGo opened on Soi Diamond on 22nd October. It is on the narrow section of the soi up from Windmill Club.

Meanwhile Amethyst re-opened on Soi LK Metro after just a one day closure.

On the other hand, Dolls, a new coyote club, has already gone dark on Soi 6.

There are now 82 bars around Pattaya purporting to be GoGos.

Even in Pattaya the Law of Natural Selection ( Survival of the Fittest ) seems to apply.

Last night, on Soi LK Metro opposite Pandors's, Amethyst Club was very much closed.

The combination of poor quality and ridiculous prices did not seem to pan out very well.

On the corner of Soi Buakhaow and Soi LK Metro, Climax has been dark for several nights.

On Soi Yamato (Soi 13/1) the ladyboy gogo Stringfellows has recently closed with a bar for sale sign.

Stringfellows used to be owned by a German Englishman or English German, Bob Denzel, who in the past also owned Goldfingers A-GoGo on Soi 7 and has been a (Past) President of Rotary Club Taksin-Pattaya. Their website http://www.stringfellows-ladyboys.com/ still seems to exist. On internet there has been a rumour that the ladyboys have not been paid over the last three months.

On the corner of Soi Diamond and Second Road the building where Byblos GoGo Bar used to be is completely gutted.

A friend of mine, Lek, has just started working in Gentlemen's Club in Soi Diamond, so I popped in on Monday night.

There were about 10 Coyote Dancers, all of them attractive, some stunning.

It was very friendly with no hassle. I was the only punter in at 10pm.

Barfine 1500 baht. Lady Drinks 140 baht

My friend has left already as there are no punters. which is a shame. as it's a nice little ago-go.

Michelle Happy Bar on Soi Khao Noi Soi 9 has become Nok & Nok Happy Bar .

It seems to be owned by a Nok who is a hairdresser and another Nok who stays in Sweden.

At my visit there were two fatties and one oldie.

Bottled Heineken 75 baht.

M Pub and Restaurant is located on the right-hand side of Soi Khao Talo when coming from Sukhumvit Road, about fifty metres before Soi 10.

It is owned by an old ailing Norwegian, Papa , and his Thai wife.

I always wonder why some bars that are by no means restaurants have the word Restaurant in their names; perhaps it is a licence or tax kind of thing.

I used to avoid this place because there were only old hags, but now they have some friendly, albeit chubby to very chubby, threeholers in the 20-25 age bracket.

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

Bottled Heineken 70 baht, lady drinks 100 baht.

At The Place 2 Bee on Soi Lengkee, the price of a bottled Heineken has gone down from 85 to 75 baht.

Since the Belgian manager, Roger, has moved to sister bar Vikings Corner Bar on the corner of Third Road and Soi 19, the Norwegian owner, Tom, and his cute girlfriend are often meeting and greeting at The Place 2 Bee.

On Soi LK Metro, left of Bachelor Pattaya, a new bar has opened: Pandors's (not Pandora's).

It is a small bar with a small stage with four chrome poles and a bar counter on the left-hand side and the seating on the right-hand side.

The ceiling, walls and tables are black; the seating, the bar counter and the floor are beige (or a similar light colour).

Of the five overdressed coyotes one or two were on the stage and one or two were outside at any time. Several were too fat and several were wearing tights.

I was told that some of them were agency girls , which I could hardly believe.

The mamasan appears to come from Classroom on Soi 13/4 (Pattayaland 2).

I was the only customer.

Barfine 700 baht, room 300 baht, the girls expecting 3,000 (!) baht.

Bottled Heineken 130 baht, lady drinks 130 baht.

The ladyboy gogo Baby Boom has reopened in a new development in a small soi off Soi Buakhaow just before Soi 15 when coming from Soi LK Metro.

The only female inside is Poo, the fat wife of the Dutch owner, Josh (PA member josh1963), who is always sitting in a corner, busy on his notebook.

There were five tall and slim ladyboys in the 20-30 age bracket.

The music was rock and not too loud.

Barfine 500 baht in the upstairs ST room.

However, no sex is required to have some fun with the ladyboys.

Bottled Heineken 95 baht, lady drinks 110 baht.

Dolls opened as a Coyote Bar next to La La Land bar at the Beach Road end of Soi 6. It opened on 8th October.

Meanwhile Pandora's also opened as a Coyote Bar, this time on Soi LK Metro. The bar opened on 12th October and is next door to Bachelor.

As it started to rain when I was walking in front of Champion A-GoGo on Walking Street, I decided to have a look there.

I had not been there since they became a show kind of bar.

To my surprise it was completely full.

I noticed a short fat waitress with a round face, who has been around for many years.

I saw some pussy trick shows, a lousy lesbian show and then four gogo dancers performing in white bikinis with huge tops.

Unsurprisingly all girls were far below average. It is not a place where you will want to barfine.

For a couple of 20-baht notes the girls would let you touch their tits or put a finger (or more than one finger) up their pussy to prove they were real puying (females).

Bottled Heineken 150 baht, lady drinks 150 baht.

Farangs have free access, but Indians have to pay up front.

A friend of mine, Nong, has started working in New Star in Soi Diamond, so I popped in on Wednesday nigh.

There were around 15 Girls, all Coyote dancers, some attractive Girls.

Lady Drinks, San Miguel, were 200 baht.

There was a lot of pressure from unattractive service girls for drinks. They did not want take no for an answer.

I was the only punter for a lot of the time,

Barfine is 1000 baht, room 400 baht and price of boom boom negotiable.

In all honesty I could not recommend this Bar.

Siam Café on Soi Siam Country Club has changed its name again to the original name Due Café .

However, there is no link with the previous Belgian owner of Due Café.

The Duke's Lounge on Soi Khao Noi Soi 9 has reopened with new staff.

A girl who had started working there the same day was very "shy" and did not want to "smoke" or to "boom boom". This seems to happen more and more and I wonder what kind of "job description" new applicants get to hear from the owners/mamasans, if any.

Bottled Heineken 85 baht.

On the corner of Soi Banlang (aka Soi Siam Country Club Soi 18 and Soi Phon Prapha Nimit Soi 18) and Soi Banlang Soi 12 a new bar has opened: The Scrapyard Bar.

In the outside section are a bar with bar stools, a pool table and some tables with chairs were the girls were sitting, "eating".

At 6.30 p.m. it was still hot outside. In the inside air-conditioned section are a bar with bar stools, some high tables also with bar stools and some sofas with coffee tables.

I talked with a 22-year-old very solid girl without children who had been working there for a month. She spoke very little English, was very "shy" and did not want to "smoke" or to "boom boom".

One other customer.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht.
