Pattaya Nightlife News and Reviews

Inside Naughty Girls on Soi Diamond was more activity than one would have expected from outside.

The interior has remained unchanged for years.

There were two teams of about five dancers each clad in black bikinis, some in strings and some double bottomed. About half of them were topless and I saw some nice bodies and some nice natural racks.

There was a steady flow of customers. A more-than-drunk Japanese was buying trays of tequila shots for the girls.

Pity of the cigarette smoke.

I was told the barfine was 800 baht, the girls expecting 1,500-2,000 baht ST and 3,000 baht LT.

Bottled Heineken 135 baht now.

I popped into the Dollhouse on Soi 15 on Saturday night.

A very pleasant experience. There were very attractive girls ranging from Coyote Dancers to nude.

There were 2 very attractive and slim Girls in the large bath who were not shy in showing their pussies, or letting punters feel and kiss them.

The Girls on the stage came over and introduced themselves.

Well worth a visit.

I popped into Champagne Tuesday evening, a very forgettable experience.

Some very below average Coyote Dancers and terrible loud music. One to miss at the moment.

I popped into Pandora's on LK Metro on Tuesday.

There were 5 or 6 attractive girls outside, inside I felt I'd interrupted a wake. There were 5 extremely average Coyote Dancers on stage and a few prettier girls sitting around. No action, no atmosphere.

Silver Star A-GoGo on Soi 8 has re-opened after a month's closure at the behest of the authorities.

On Walking Street Rock Street is still closed after the fire last week, but their neighbours SkyFall A-GoGo have reopened.

Also on Walking Street the building, where The Moon Club used to be, is being gutted.

On Soi 13/4 (Pattayaland 2), wher e Classroom A-GoGo and some adjoining bars used to be, a four-unit rock beer bar has opened, unsurprisingly named Classroom .

After several takeovers La Guinguette on Soi Siam Country Club Soi 27 has closed once more.

To succeed at such a difficult location you have to offer something more, like White Oyster Lounge on Soi Chaiyapornwithi does.

At White Oyster Lounge on Soi Chaiyapornwithi the dress code for the swimmers has returned to normal, i.e. birthday suit, for quite a while now and that still applies today.

Also the in-house love nests are still included in the ST bar fine of 300 baht.

Most of their girls appear to be solid farmers' daughters recruited from the rice fields in the Korat-Buriram-Surin-Sisaket area and some look really pretty.

These experienced divers, who will gladly pick up 200 baht in coins from the swimming pool's bottom, must have received an intensive training in the fish pools in the paddies.

They are happy with 1,000 baht ST and I have never had one who failed to deliver.

Bottled Heineken still 80 baht, lady drinks 100 baht for Sangsom cola and 130 baht for beer.

The clampdown still goes on. It's not only the Girls being forced to wear bra's, it also affects the short time rooms. You can only pay for a room all night and you have to give in your passport.

The police were in Soi 15 after midnight, taking away motor bikes parked there. I have no idea how they were choosing them, they could be ones not displaying tax, but that's most bikes.

Working Girl on Soi 6 closed on 22nd Feb.

Silver Star on Soi 8 aims to re-open after a 1 month police closure. The staff have moved to Silver Star 2 on Soi 7.

The gentlemen's clubs seem a particular target of the current police action and are on the defensive. Kinnaree Place was locked on 24th Feb. Club 4 was closed on 22nd February. See local news article

There is also an unconfirmed rumour that Alcatraz A-GoGo will close from 1st March for 3 months renovation.

Update: Swanning off

27th February 2017. Thanks to Teigen

Ishi noted that Kinnaree Place was locked on 24th Feb .

In fact Kinnaree Place hasn't opened at all from Thursday 23rd.

However I just saw that this morning (28th) that they are cleaning the place again and the gates were open. Maybe back to normal, or now just a pick-up place and a venue for drinks and buffet... Wait and see.

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.

Last night Overmind Club (both entrances) was dark once more. That seems to become a chronic disease.

On upper Soi Khao Talo Happy Moon's Bar has become The Secret.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bottled Heineken 140 baht.

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.

A new short time bar, The Pump Station 3, has opened on Soi 6 on 15th January 2017. It is located in the middle section of the soi between Ruby Club and Butterfly Bar. The venue was previously a laundry.

See N39 on Soi 6 map from pattayagogos.net

Meanwhile the old Nelson Hotel on the same soi has also returned to life. It is now Sandman Hotel and Sports Bar.

At Sexy Girls A-GoGo on Soi 8 not much has changed.

Albeit a tad too loud, the rock, pop and country music has come back with songs such as Rhinestone Cowboy .

The dancers were clad in red bikinis or topless in red strings.

Apart from one half-decent girl in a red string and a much too big bra, all the others were fat/fatter/fattest and ugly/uglier/ugliest.

The naked jacuzzi girl was on the chubby side, but not so in the "upstairs department". She had several tattoos, among them a pistol pointing at her private parts.

Four or five other customers.

BEWARE: "automatic tipping", i.e. small change is not returned spontaneously.

Bottled Heineken 130 baht now, up from 120 baht.

Gold Club A-GoGo opened on 20th January on Soi LK Metro in the venue that was previously Amethyst.

The GoGo had in fact opened under the current management in November last year but an apparent dispute about the name resulted in rework for a renaming to Gold.

The bar is offering opening specials for 1 week: house spirits 80 baht, bottles Leo, Tiger, Singha 80 baht, San Miguel Light and Heineken 100 baht.

Barfine are 800 Baht ST and 1000 Baht LT. Lady drinks are 140 Baht.

There are now 84 GoGos around Pattaya.
