Asian tour party venue

Not fully included in list as it does not advertise public admittance and may in fact have a cover charge designed to deter.

It's a companion to the Model Club and features the Russian/Uzbekistan girls that dance at Galaxy Cabaret.

This venue is on the site of the new but failed Pattaya Dragon complex.

  Review from Pattaya Addicts August 2008: Millionaires Only

Lured in by the blondie dancing in the glass cubicle upstairs overlooking the street.

Wandered in.... sat down.... ordered a Heineken - 220baht payable immediately.... Different blondie starts dancing & wigglin her bootie in front of me for few seconds.... holds out her hand & says in no uncertain terms one hundred baht...

It was the manner in which it was demanded. I replied no money have to go to ATM sorry. Blondie looked at me with contempt & spat something along the lines of you have no money go home sleep alone.

Next thing a different girl came along & plonked a small sign on the coffee table in front of me which read something like minimum tip 50 baht & in brackets something like this is only $2 US.

Suddenly my urge to nail a white girl had diminished somewhat & I promptly got the hell outta there.

  Review from Pattaya Addicts March 2008: High End

A few prices quoted or charged in March 2008. Bottle of champagne 8950 Baht. Box of chocolates (Ferrero Rocher) for 1500 Baht. Long time 15,000+ Baht

  News Aug 2007: Open

It was reported on Stickman that Galaxy had closed. This seems not to be the case. (The door was open and people were entering but I wasn't going to look any further lest I get hammered with a mandatory tip). Girls are now back dancing in the street booth too.

  News from Pattaya Daily News June 2007: Police Raid

Pattaya police arrested five naked Russian dancers at Galaxy Cabaret on walking street.

Outside, there were clothed foreign dancers performing behind a glass window. However, inside, Russian strippers were entertaining the audience.

Foreign undercover 'volunteers', with female police, posed as customers to investigate; and found five Russian strippers, clad only in bikinis, dancing to the delight of the audience. The police immediately arrested the half naked performers.

They all had permits to work as dancers, but they were, nevertheless arrested, as it is a crime to perform unclothed.

The manager was also arrested

Entry 500 Baht

An Asian tour party venue.

Not fully included in list as it does not advertise public admittance and has an expensive admission fee to put off passing trade.

East European coyote dancing features in the public glass booth. Presumably high prices will also be copied from the other East European bar, Galaxy

  Review from Thai Visa, August 2009: Seeing Red

On Walking Street someone stuck a Buy 1 Get 1 ticket in my hand outside a new place called Moulin Rouge. It is a new bar with Russian girls .

I went up the stairs and into a very dark red room with around 8 Russian dancers, 5 Thai bartenders and me as the only customer. I sat down to watch the dancers and ordered one Heineken.

2 minutes later the waiter came back with a bill of 260 Baht!! and insisted I paid it before I could get my beer. Anyway I paid the bill and got my beer, and found out that the Buy 1 Get 1 ticket I received 4 minutes ago outside their door, was no longer valid.

After 5 minutes a pretty rough looking Russian dancer came over and started crawling on me. No thank you, I only want to sit and watch the show. She snarled at me and told me the rules said you cannot refuse a dancer and you must pay her some tips. You can only tip 100 baht, and its better when you tip more than one bill.

I got up, got out, and left the nice Russian girl with my 260 Baht Heineken.

Notes

Festivities bar fine. Many, if not, gogos charge higher barfines on what they consider special days. Every bar has a different definition of which days are special though. And some special days are even more special (expensive) than others.

The 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.

Nudity cannot be guaranteed and whenever the Pattay police are on the prowl the girls cover up. Closing times are sporadic depending upon local enforcement. 2am or 3am is now the norm.

Anyone with Middle Eastern or South Asian dark skin should be aware that they may receive a rather negative welcome. 90% of gogo bars have unspecified entry restrictions which can be hard to tie down as different people have had different receptions. Unwelcome faces will be told at the door that the bar is suddenly a members only club. Discriminatory maybe, but it is for real, it is based on experience, and it is supported by those who care about the welfare of the girls.

Just a couple of times people have had a bad experience in a bar which is perhaps the fault of an individual employee rather than bar policy. More often then not, the bar would be more than happy to deal with offsite problems even when it is not strictly their problem. To try and be fair to the bars, offsite complaints about employees can only be considered for inclusion if they have first been presented to the bar involved.
