Pattaya Nightlife News and Reviews

Sugar Baby A-GoGo on Walking Street was dark on Tuesday night. The reason is not yet apparent.

Update: The bar reportedly closed due to 'supply problems', presumably a lack of available girls.

Meanwhile Cocoon nightclub has opened on Waling Street at the Soho Square venue that was once Utopia and Upstairs A-GoGo. I

The nightclub is basically a disco but it has additional entertainment from aerial performers, an idea borrowed from Iron Club A-GoGo.

See cocoonpattaya.com

On Soi Khao Noi Flintstone has gone dark.

On Walking Street Majestic Guesthouse (ST rooms upstairs of Fahrenheit A-GoGo) has reopened after a closure of nearly a year. (When I wrote my recent The Lighthouse A-GoGo review it was still closed.)

At The Dollhouse A-GoGo on Soi 15 bottled Heineken is 160 baht now and an ordinary lady drink (small glass of cola on the rocks) 175 baht. Private in-house fun upstairs 2,700 baht (room 700 baht plus girl 2,000 baht).

At Lek's Bar & Massage on Soi Khao Talo a bottled Heineken is 80 baht now and a lady drink (bottled Singha) 105 baht. The barfine is still 300 baht (also for the farm-fresh girls and I guess for the lone ladyboy) and they still do not have ST rooms.

Living dolls Showcase on Walking Street has already discontinued their happy hours until midnight experiment with all drinks at 95 baht.

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.

I was told the barfine/room price for ST was 400 baht with 1,500 baht (!) 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.

Gold Club A-GoGo has gone dark on Soi LK Metro. The bar had only been open for a month

The reason is not yet clear but going dark on Christmas day is hardly likely to be a scheduled renovation.

So there are now 80 self defined GoGos open around Pattaya.

Big Hugs on Soi 13/1 (Soi Yamato) is a good fun, hands on, unzipped, anything goes bar that is also well cheaper than anything on Walking Street.

Of course there is the little snag that you are unlikely to find a girl who could command a post on a Walking Street stage. And if you are lucky enough to find a young and slim dancer, you can be pretty sure that she wont be staying in Big Hugs long. Saying that there are usually (but not always) one or two who are attractive enough to enjoy receiving their good close attention.

The same is exactly true of sister bar So Nice, but on the whole, So Nice seems to get first dibs for the available girls. One time I saw the girls in So nice draw lots with the loser having to leave for Big Hugs to make up the numbers there.

It finally got busy on Walking Street on the Friday before Christmas.

Happy and Beach Club have gone back to Coyote Dancers. The Girls were wearing huge pants like nappies, with t-shirt and bra. It's like they are trying to remove the Sex appeal from the Girls and it's working. The majority of the Girls are very mediocre.

The head waiter in Happy came over to say hello, there were 30 Coyote Dancers on the 2 stages at the time and I asked him why... this is supposed to be an a-go-go? He said . ..the new Girls were shy...

A very cute blonde called Tai, who's been there for years said... no customers ... by which I think she meant no customers buying Lady Drinks and Barfines, which was very obvious.

Beach Club was even more Banal, a few attractive Girls walking up and down but they never appear on stage.

The Windmill, Electric Blue and The Dollhouse which have naked girls were all packed.

Sweethearts and Sapphire Club who have very sexy Coyote Dancers were also packed.

Annabelle's had some lovely naked Girls showing their charms on the mat.

Sugar Baby was dead with very few and very average Girls. Their original mamasang is now in Crazy House which has a lot of sexy girls, naked and Coyote Dancers.

Sexy Girls A-GoGo at the 2nd Road end of Soi 8 has been dark for 10 days or so but re-opened on 22nd December.

So the GoGo count is now 81.

Went to L K Metro Sunday night'

looked into Ladylove but it was very busy and very noisy. Nowhere to sit down so popped straight out,

Looked into Gold that was the opposite, very quiet with about 6 Punters, There were 6 Coyote Dancers wearing G-String's on the Stage, all of them overweight.

There were some attractive Girls Upstairs hiding in the Toilets, but they showed no interest when they came down. There was one attractive Girl on stage who was asking me for a drink but I had decided to leave by then.

Draft Lager 69 Baht for full half pint, very nice.

Popped into The Office , it was very bad, no Girl's showed us any interest and the Draft Lager was undrinkable soon left.

Got pulled into a bar by a Girl who recognized me from Sweethearts. Had a good time in there.

Passed on to Paradise Club . Some lovely Girl's in there as good as any in Walking Street. Nearly all the Girl's were Topless and just wearing a G-string. There was a blonde called Na. I'm not saying her tit's were big but they were a danger to shipping ,when she was dancing on stage.

There were 16 punters in, but Paul and I were the only ones buying lady drinks. This is the same wherever we go. I gave a 100 Baht tip to a stunning teenage blonde on the way out.

Finished in Sugar Sugar . it was nearly empty at 1 am, some lovely Topless Teenage Girls on stage. I gave the best one a 100 Baht tip but she did not come over for a drink, even though we were the only customers.

Crystal A-GoGo on Soi LK Metro has announced that it is under new management.

The bar will have a re-launch party on Saturday 9th December that it calls Crystallisation: The Relaunch Party.

Gold Club A-GoGo has re-opened on Soi LK Metro. The bar was originally Amethyst but re-opened as Gold Club at the beginning of 2017. It lasted for about 6 months before closing in June.

The bar has displayed a banner proclaiming drinks prices. It will be offering draft beer at 69 Baht and local spirits at 100 Baht.

There is i a Grand Opening Party on Friday 24th November. The bar has booked a DJ as a star turn, so perhaps that gives an indication of the style of the bar.

Gold is the 81st GoGo in Pattaya.

So Nice on Soi 13/1 has developed into something of a Hot and Cold replacement. The girls are very proactive in grabbing your personals, in return for a few reasonably priced lady drinks. In fact the girls go further in the bar than I remember ever seeing at Hot and Cold.

The girls are all naked, on and off stage. Three dancers dance three numbers to some of the quietest rock music in Pattaya.

Its all very friendly and the girls are well obliging. So what can possibly go wrong?

I have made 2 visits in the last couple of weeks and the first was great. I was well entertained by a good looking girl who was good in the art of conversation too. I was bit aware that she was the only looker in the bar, but that didn't stop it being a good time.

So I went back for a second helping, only to find that good looking girls don't stay long in these parts. I spent the time finishing my drink, working on reverse chat up lines to politely keep unwanted advances at bay.

I was a little disappointed, so I tried the nearby sister bar, Big Hugs, instead. I found that the time spent dreaming up reverse chat up lines paid dividends for the second time in the day.

But saying that, I really did enjoy my first visit to So Nice.

I popped into Baccara on Saturday night. Iit was the Usual fare, busy and with a couple of new Large Breasted Dancers. No showgirl's.

Someone was touching my back and I looked around and it was a stunning small Blonde, I had no idea who she was but she knew me, she squeezed in beside me and I bought her a drink

She put my arm round her and asked if I'd been to Happy lately...that made it easier. She was from Happy, she said Happy No Good, I said it was all a Coyote dancers 2 months ago. She said: No Customers.

So there you have it, as we thought they were trying to turn it into a Coyote Bar. B ut no one wanted it, what a surprise! There was still no full nudity on Friday and only two topless birds.

My ex-Happy said she had been home for 2 years having a baby girl, no wonder I didn't recognize her. I worked out who she was, a Showgirl (when they were nude) called Ann but she had long black hair. She was beautiful then but stunning as a blonde with a Cleo style fringe.

I was lucky at the weekend, I was in the Sapphire Club and a couple of English guys kept blowing the Horn, to buy the Girls on stage a drink.

Of course the Girl's were screaming extremely loudly, this went on every 3 or 4 minutes, they were also throwing 20 b notes in the Air, which led to more Screaming. And they screamed again when they got the Drinks. After 45 mins my ears were hurting so much I left.

Outside it was raining hard and when I got to the Second Road it was flooded with 6 inches of water. There was one baht bus waiting to go to Jomtien and that soon filled up. The Flood water was rising all the time in some places it was 10 inches or more deep. We were lucky to get through.

Earlier I had popped into Wild Cats in soi BJ, I'm afraid it did not have a lot to recommend it.

There were nearly all Coyote Dancers, most of them overweight and over dressed. Some were wearing G-string's, most of them were very average with a splattering of attractive Girls.

I knew one of the Dancers Nui, a blonde Barbie look alike and a waitress called Yok who said she weighed 84 kg. enough said,

There were two Topless Girl's with extremely large knockers,

The music was quite good, but I'm afraid nothing to really advise punters to make the trip down soi BJ worthwhile,

Lady drinks 165 and draft Chang, which was very nice 79 b.

I popped into Annabelle's on Walking Street last night. Nothing much to report at first. All the Girl's were covered up, due to the current circumstances.

Then it all changed, a Girl came out of the dressing room and came over and started dancing in front of me and removing her top. She went on stage and was waggling her bum at me, then pulling her G-string down and showing me her very nice Pussy. She carried on doing this continually, until she came back.

It's hard to describe what happened next, but needless to say I got totally mullered. She was all over me, rubbing my face in her bum, putting her nipples in my mouth, my hand on her pussy, gyrating on my lap, Kneeling on the seat with her bum in the air.

Then her two friends came over, a very slim and attractive blonde, and larger girl with big Knockers, and they were doing the same, getting their pussies out and asking me to suck their nipples.

I had to leave to get a rest, where do they get the energy from?

My poor scribbling's can't describe what a great time I had.

On Soi LK Metro Pulse A-GoGo has opened opposite Touch at the location that once was Armageddon Bar.

It has taken a long time before they finally opened, but the end result must be seen. It is the finest and most originally laid-out gogo I have seen in many years. Only SkyFall A-GoGo on Walking Street comes nearby.

Perhaps we can call Pulse A-GoGo a very much improved version of Touch across the street.

Their main theme I would call medical emergency and their main colour tones are white (or beige) and red. Across the white front door is the word AMBULANCE.

On the red zigzag-shaped central stage are six about 1.80 metres high chrome poles and two chrome rails. On both sides is spacious white double-tier bench seating.

At the rear right is a (still unused) jacuzzi with a washing platform and a comfortable white settee behind it. There are several more white sofas, white chairs with arm rests and white bar stools with arm rests.

There were not too many dancers at Pulse A-GoGo (a team of six and a team of seven), but they were top notch compared to what I have seen at recent openings of gogos.

About half of them were clad in string bikinis with spaghetti bras, white with Red Crosses at strategic places or red with white Swiss crosses, several of them also with white fishnet stockings with suspenders. (For those who do not know what suspenders are, I add this funny picture.) The chubbiest of these bikini dancers revealed her huge boobs on stage.

The other half where coyotes in big white tops with sleeves and in white shorts with red belts or in white skirts, most of them with white lace knee-high socks. The team changes went a bit chaotic.

The waitresses were friendly enough.

The lighting was adequate and the music was a bit loud, but not as bad as at most places.

Nice separate toilets.

Pulse A-GoGo was not really crowded, but I think, if they can attract more quality girls, the punters will follow.

A very enjoyable experience.

I wonder what Sapphire Addict Dave will have to say this time.

Bottled Heineken 130 baht, a very reasonable price for the kind of venue.

Butterfly Bar

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.

Tahitian Queen

An update for the long running Beach Road A-GoGo.

Opens: 1PM
Draught beer: 69 baht (at 2PM, so probably happy hour)
Lady drinks:150 baht
29 bikini dancers, of which 6 are on stage at any one time.

And an update from Walking Street

Very quiet in Walking Street last night.

Super Girl was fairly lively with around 15 topless girls. They stay topless when not on stage, which is very good.

Baccara was quiet, not many topless Girls, although the Showgirls were back,

Popped into Happy to see if it had improved and I'm glad to say it had. At least half the Girls were wearing Bikini tops and G-string's, but only counted 4 topless Girls. A definite change of policy though as some of the Girls who were coyote Dancers on my last visit, were back to Bikini's last night.

In a letter seen by Thaivisa addressed to the police in Pattaya, Nong Prue, Bang Lamung and Huay Yai district chief Naris Niramaiwong suggested that the police carry out a public relations exercise to inform all entertainment venues and related service establishments that they should shut down on 26th October. This compares with a 3 day shutdown in other towns or areas of the country.

The language used in the letter is formal and official and it does not mention specific types of venue. But it will surely include entertainment venues.

In fact the closure will be widespread across all businesses, with eg Tesco Lotus and 7-11 saying that staff will be given the afternoon off so that they attend services or watch the event on TV.

At Silver Star A-GoGo on Soi 8 the layout has remained unchanged.

Of over twenty dancers six were on stage performing the Pattaya shuffle and advancing one place after each song.

Most of them were clad in Super-Baby-style white lace string bikinis not flattening their nipples, but at least half a dozen so-called coyotes were wearing huge ugly black-and-white-chequered bikinis.

The only nudity I have seen were the Jacuzzi girls, also in white string bikinis, who would drop their bottoms to shoot ice cubes into mugs and glasses.

Most girls were average and the coyotes even more so.

The number of customers, mostly draught-beer drinkers, varied from two to seven or eight and nobody stayed long.

No interaction.

Bottled Heineken still 130 baht.

It was busy in Walking Street on Saturday night.

Peppermint is still getting better. There was even a decent crowd of punters in on Saturday night.

There were a lot of very attractive and nubile young Girl's wearing Black Bikini's. The old guard of topless dancers are still there.

Plenty of Girl's Happy to get their tit's out for a tip. One of the show Girl's was waggling her bum in my face and the very attractive young Girl I was with, Mon pulled her G-string down. She wasn't shy and I saw that pussy hair is back in vogue.

In fact I ran out of change before I left, but I'll be back next Saturday with a lot more Change. They are quite happy with 40 Baht where as in Baccara and Unhappy they turn their nose up at anything less than 100 Baht.

Sweethearts was packed. Viking the owner was not happy though, because he was told he could open on Friday night but keep it low key, so he called in all his staff. Then at 7-40 the Police came back and told him he could not open and he had to pay his staff for nothing,

But Saturday night all the Girls were in and they were doing a roaring trade.

Sapphire Club was full to bursting as usual on a Saturday night. The Girls doing the Gymnastics display are wearing much more revealing outfits now.

On Soi Diamond, right of Yes A-GoGo, Center Club (American spelling) has opened at the location that was once Maxine's Club, Dream Club A-GoGo and Carousel A-GoGo.

At first sight nothing in the interior has changed since its last reincarnation. There is still a too large square stage with twelve interconnected chrome poles and there is still double-tier bench seating on all sides.

The air conditioning has seen better days.

Most of the time I was there, there was a boring show by four pussy trick performers who kept their skirts on.

The dancers were more than overdressed, double topped and double bottomed in the most diverse outfits, some of them with camisoles. Most of them were old and most of them were fat to extremely fat. At least some of them were freelancers (or beer-bar girls on their day off) hired at 500 baht a day.

During the dance stints the music was way too loud.

On the first night of their existence there was already a disgusting cigarette smoke stench. I wonder if their air conditioning was actually running and/or if it has ever been serviced.

The gents is still as cramped as before and there is only one urinal (and one washbasin), no cubicle. A place to avoid when you are suffering from acute diarrhoea.

You only get a check bin at Center Club if you ask for one.

A forgettable experience.

Bottled Heineken 160 baht.

Pulse A-GoGo opened on Soi LK Metro on 14th October. After a long period of construction it opened at the venue that was previously Armageddon Bar.

It was also reported that Center Club opened on the same night on SOi Diamond. This is the venue that previously Maxines, Dream Club and Carousel.

So there are now 76 bars describing themselves as GoGos.

I had a fruitless trip to Walking Street last night, all the a-go-go's were shut.

There were some bars open with dimmed lighting. Most of the Restaurants were open,d oing a good trade. The one near sweehearts where the police sit, appeared to be selling Beer. My local 7/11 by Hanuman Statue was selling alcohol,

I asked the Kebab man by Baccara what was going on, he said it was one year since the King Died. It seems the police take every opportunity to close the Bars?

The Police were out on the second road again stopping motor cyclists.

It seems that Pattaya's authorities made a last minute decision to ban anything considered to be public entertainment, music or dancing. Walking Street GoGos were not informed of the impending closure until about 7:30pm.

There was no prohibition on alcohol sales, only on having fun. It was hardly surprising, given the sombre anniversary, but the authorities could have given people a bit more notice.

I was walking down Soi 15 last night, after a very boring visit to the Dollhouse, when I bumped into an old friend called Apple, she was standing outside the Shark Club.

The Model's were on when I came in. There were some very attractive Girls dressed in black G-strings and sheer black tops. No nudity of any kind, they were followed by the inevitable Coyote Dancers, apart from 1 topless blonde with huge silicone tit's. Some of the Girls smiled at me which makes a change.

Music was good not too loud. A good atmosphere, but that was probably because I was sitting with Apple and her friend.

Not a bad place. Similar to the Sapphire Club.

Center Club looks set to open soon on Soi Diamond. It is next door to Yes A-GoGo in the venue that was most famously Carousel A-GoGo, and then Dream Club and Maxine's Club.

In a single-unit shophouse in a small soi off Soi Buakhaow just before Soi 15 when coming from Soi LK Metro, next to Garden Beer Bar and opposite Baby Boom A-GoGo, a closed-fronted bar and guesthouse has opened: 555 .

(As to Garden Beer Bar: they are mainly catering for French-language people; there is no garden at all; the garden is just in the name.)

Although the 555 bar is rather narrow and dark, it is nicely laid out compared to similar places, such as Excite Club on Soi Xzyte.

Near the entrance were a bunch of farangs drinking, smoking cigarettes and chatting among them, perhaps the owner and his mates.

The girls were a mixed bag, varying from the tall and slim complete newbie without any English to the short, old, fat, mercenary, silicone-enhanced and tattooed threeholer.

I was told the ST bar fine was 300 baht (room upstairs included) plus 1,000 baht for FS.

All of them were keen on getting some notes in their bras and strings. (Bar girls have got to eat too.)

Bottled Heineken 100 baht, lady drinks (tequila) 130 baht.

On Soi LK Metro Chaos A-GoGo has opened at the previous location of Kiss A-GoGo.

The layout looks very cheap. On both sides of the central stage is spacious double-tier red bench seating. However, the benches are too high to be comfortable and there are no footrests on the tables.

In the area right of the entrance, which can be curtained off, is a low square table with a chrome pole on it.

There was a team of five dancers in black lingerie who took off their bras once on stage and there were about a dozen double-topped and double-bottomed coyotes in the most diverse outfits, some of them with camisoles.

Some of the females were average, but most of them were sub-average and worse.

There were never more than three or four customers and nobody stayed long.

The way-too-loud music was some kind of crappy techno with the performers shown on a number of flat screens.

Unisex toilets.

BEWARE: some girls are not available; do not waste money on them.

Bottled Heineken 135 baht.

I popped into the Paradise A-go-go in L K Metro on Friday night. It was a very pleasant experience.

Most of the Girls were wearing G-strings only. some nice Girls on show. The Mamasang introduced me to a new Girl, a 19 yr old topless Stunner. There was an older Girl ,whose silicone Boob's were so big I thought she was going to topple over the edge of the Stage.

Good music, not too loud. Well worth a visit.

I popped into Sugar Sugar on the sane night, it was fairly quiet.

There were Coyote Dancers on stage as I entered, followed by 6 young, very attractive Girls in G-strings only. Then back to attractive Coyote Dancers, wearing G-Strings. And all the Girls were smiling at me.

Still the best Coffee in Pattaya and only 75 Baht.

Lots of Police activity recently, I've seen Police Cordon's on the Thappraya road at the top of the hill twice last week. On Friday night they were out on the 2nd road until the Thunderstorm came. Second road was flooded at the Flyover end,4 or 5 inches deep,

I was talking to Viking the owner of Sweethearts . He doesn't know how long they will be closed for the royal funeral proceedings. The Police won't tell him until the day before. He hopes to be open at the week end. And there are a lot of stunning Girls in Sweethearts at the moment.

I went into the Sapphire club around midnight, it was packed, only just found a seat. There were lots of Girls being barfined.

Previously I popped into The Office in Soi LK Metro, it was a big mistake.

There were 4 Coyote Dancers on the Stage when I came in. The Stage Lighting was so poor, I could hardly see the Girls. They were followed by 5 Bikini Dancers, then 6 Girls dressed as office worker's in White Blouses and short Black skirts, and then 4 topless Dancers. It was so Dark on Stage that my Sister could have been Dancing and I would never have known.. she's 66, not much younger than the Topless Dancers.

I was left to enjoy my Beer on my own. No girls approached me or even smiled at me. Most of the Girls were clustered near the entrance, probably discussing their pension plans.
