Pattaya Nightlife News and Reviews

Very quiet on Walking Street last night, no hoard's of Chinese tourists to wrestle with.

All the A-go-go's I went in only had a handful of Punters. Even Baccara was only half full. I went in for a cheap drink and a Leer at the Large Breasted Girls but it was so quiet 3 of the Girls were smiling,waving and talking to me. Very unusual. I know 2 Girls in there from there Happy days but I've only seen them once since November, they weren't in last night, where do they get to?

Sweethearts was also quiet, I made Mamasang Ying's year by giving her a 100b tip. She was dancing around like she'd won the Pools, Owner Viking had given himself a terrible haircut, he can't afford 60 Baht for a Hairdresser, poor man. I would have lent him the Money if i'd known, the pound is doing well this week.

The Police were out at the top of the hill on Thappraya road stopping Motorcyclists again. It's not for Road Safety or they'd stop the Baht Buses, which are mostly unlicensed and ready for the scrap yard.

Club Eden A-GoGo took over from DClub on 28th March 2018. The bar is located above Soi Diamond but the entrance is on Walking Street. The bar is reported to have Russian connections to Tantra A-GoGo.

There are now 79 bars around Pattaya claiming to be GoGos.

Signs for Eden Club have appeared at the old DClub, upstairs in Soi Diamond.

The GoGo is set to open on 27th March and is reported to be Russian owned with connections to Tantra.

On Soi 8 Blue Dragon Bar (not a ladyboy bar) has gone dark.

Soi 9 off Second Road (Pattayasaisong 9), where the Skaw Beach Hotel is, has been extended until Soi Buakhaow and ends now opposite The Butcher's Arms Pub.

The guitar-shaped (or phallus-shaped) neon sign at Silver Star A-GoGo on Soi 8 is still dark. The bikini girls now reveal their bosoms on stage.

The venue that was once B.52 Bar on Soi 8 is currently gutted and something new will arise soon.

Lek's Classroom , once a well known bar in North Pattaya, has moved to the Soi 7 area in the central soi connecting Soi 7 to Central Road.

I popped into the Doll House last night. Very quiet, the Girls were just standing around more than Dancing. The Second Group were better,7 Girls in Rah Rah Skirts with nothing on underneath and open fronted Blouse. 2 Girls were naked and 1 Coyote Dancer.

Guess which Girl stood in front of me? Yes the Coyote Dancer and the Girls do not move round. Luckily the Coyote left to talk to someone and a tall Girl in very short Rah Rah skirt rushed over. You could clearly see her very large Pussy. She turned round and waggled her arse in my face. She had the biggest Pussy lips I have ever Seen, Her slit must of been 6 inches long, it was lovely. Unfortunately the Coyote soon came back.

I left and went into Bliss A-GoGo which is total anomaly as there is no nudity of any kind. It was very dull, with no interaction between Dancers and Punters. The Models were wearing all over black body stocking but you can see nothing.

There were 9 waitresses, all Fat and 4 of them very Fat. They kept standing in my way, blocking the view of the Stage, walking up and down aimlessly. The Fatest Girl walked up and down like she thought she was Bridget Bardot.

Nothing to recommend it,

Followed into Mandarin which was totally different. Much friendlier, Girls on the Stage smiling and waving to you, Girls coming up and introducing themselves,

There were 3 Groups of Bikini Dancers with 1 Group removing their Tops.

The layout of the Bar is very Similar to Bliss, but the waitresses were all slim and attractive, so when they got in my way it did not annoy me

Lady Drink 150b Small glass of Draught beer 90b.

Thailand's ban on bars and entertainment venues allowing punters to play darts is now in affect nationwide.

In January, officials in Pattaya raided bars along Soi 6 to confiscate the illegal dart boards. Initially there was some confusion not only into the crackdown on the seemingly innocent game of darts but how bars could obtain the so called dart board license.

According to a notice from the Thailand Darts Association [TDA], the requirement for bar owners to register dart boards is linked to Thailand's strict laws on gambling. Bar owners must now register their darts board if it is in a public space and must ensure that no gambling is taking place when darts are being played.

The Thailand Darts Association has shared information on its website on how bar owners can register their dartboards. Once registered, bar owners will receive an official certificate stamped and signed by the president of the TDA, which also includes a registered license number from Office of the National Culture Commission (ONCC).

The TDA is providing the certificate free of charge and has warned bar owners about opportunists trying to charge for fake certificates.

Met a Girl I know outside the Glasshouse on Monday evening, Oiy from New Living Dolls. She persuaded me to go in for a drink. It was full of Staff and Dancers from the defunct New Living Dolls.

I found the place to be cramped. There were a few attractive Coyote Dancers on show, but all of them looked as if they had eaten 3 Shredded Wheat for breakfast,

There were 2 very attractive Girls wearing white shorts, where you could quite clearly see the shape of their Pussies and they knew it.

No Draft but all bottled Beer 100b.

Update: Shredded Wheat at Annabelle's

8th March 2018. Thanks to Dave'

I think the Girls in Annabelles must be on 4 Shredded Wheat.

if you like young Girls with big bums and big tit's that's the place to go, there was a Girl on Monday night with a fabulous pair of natural and very big tit's.

Not sure what they are feeding them on in Isaan lately,

Popped into the Sapphire Club on Soi 15 last night.

They have a new promotion. A full pint of draft Lager for your first order in happy hour, till 10 pm. It comes in a very heavy glass Tankard, 70b. it slips down very easily, must be something to do with the shape of the glass.

Still the best looking group of Girls in Pattaya, in very sexy underwear.

DClub A-GoGo has closed on Walking Street on 2nd March 2018.

The Korean manager said that the GoGo is closed for about a week for renovation.

In the meantime there are now 79 bars around Pattaya self defining as GoGos.

Thursday 1st March is Macha Bucha Day, a Buddhist special day when all the GoGos will be shut until midnight. Most other bars will be closed too but there are always a few that will serve drinks discreetly.

On Soi Khao Talo Soi 9 KiK has closed and is FOR SALE.

On Walking Street Living Dolls Showcase has revived their HAPPY HOURS: all drinks 95 baht until 11 p.m.

Everybody knows that the Rompho beer bar complex in Jomtien is not very successful. About half of the bars are closed and the remaining ones are very quiet, perhaps due to the greediness of the current Rompho mafia. Rumour has it now that the complete area will be redeveloped, perhaps with a supermarket or a hospital.

I hope Dave did not get poisoned at New Star A-GoGo on Soi Diamond. It is the last place in Pattaya where I would ever order a draught beer. They reputedly have no water tank and you will never know which water they use for washing their glasses or ... for watering down their draught beer.

In 1957 on an Italian beach this bikini beauty was fined for showing too much skin. Nowadays in gogos in Pattaya many females should be fined for not showing enough skin.

I wonder if police, when cracking down on darts on Soi 6, also closed DartsLive2 at the previous location of Fun Seeker Dance Club and offering virtual darts games.

Re the article Are you nuts?... Thai Immigration set to require a psychological test for any farang wanting to marry a Thai , I have to mention that, for Thais to be granted a long term visa to the Schengen area (which covers most of Europe), one of the many conditions is to get a clearance from the Bangkok Police Headquarters on Henri Dunant Road, fingerprinting and mug shots included. I guess that only a civil marriage is meant here, not a traditional wedding, usually concluded in front of a Hindu priest and in the presence of an odd number of Buddhist monks and ... a dowry.

Soi 9 off Second Road (Pattayasaisong 9), where the Skaw Beach Hotel is, has been extended until Soi Buakhaow and ends now opposite The Butcher's Arms Pub.

Had a good time on Walking street last night although it was very quiet.

Walking past the Lighthouse , a Hostess came running across the road and grabbed me/ Not sure who she was but she knew me. Inside there were some very attractive Girls wearing black G-String and Bra, 2 Girls were nude and 1 topless. I worked out who the Hostess was. She used to be a Dancer when I was a regular 3 or 4 years ago. She used to give me a real going over, which is why I was a regular of course.

Annabelles was very lively, full of young Girls wearing black G-strings, rah rah skirts and open fronted Blouses. All the Girls had Big Bums and most of them had Big Tits. No sign of Hugh Jarce, but a lot of her sisters were on show.

SuperGirl had a good selection of Topless Girls, Several of them with very large Tits.

Wildcats had some very attractive Coyote Dancers and 4 Topless Girls, again with very large Tits. I was sitting with a Gorgeous new Girl. She won't last long someone will put her in their Suitcase and take her home.

Sweethearts was good as always, apart from the Coffee which is terrible. Viking keeps promising better Coffee, but it hasn't happened yet, maybe the week end, haha. Some very attractive and friendly Girls + rock music, what more do you want?

Martin Moore, known as MM on Pattaya forums has passed away.

His contribution to Pattaya nightlife was enormous with the now defunct FLB bar located by Insomnia. The bar became very much a focus as a community bar as it was the home of perhaps the most popular of Pattaya's early internet forums, Pattaya Talk.

Pattaya Secrets bar and forum was a spin off from FLB and I am sure many of the current members of both forums will be appreciative of MM's contribution to the community.

Many thanks and rest in peace.

At Club Mistys on Soi 15 a lot of things have changed.

The mattresses near the central stage have disappeared and the central stage itself has been extended accordingly on both sides with some extra dance space and some extra chrome poles.

The bar counter is protruding now and lit inside.

The stairs have been repaired and there are now extra toilets under it.

About all the staff have been replaced. The only familiar face I saw was the security man, who was still roaming the place.

The boring and pushy mamasan Jaan has moved to The Lighthouse A-GoGo. Another former mamasan, fat Keg, now works at Crazy House, after a stint at The Windmill Club A-GoGo.

The coyote dancers have disappeared, but there were again some hostesses, whatever that may be.

All dancers were clad in yellow spaghetti bikinis, many of them double bottomed though, and went on stage in teams of six to nine. (I guess that, as usual, the outfits can change from day to day.) Some of them descended by the firemen's pole.

There was no nudity on the central stage but on top of the table in the corner and on the bench seating some dancers removed their tops.

Some of the dancers were average, some slightly better, a big improvement anyway.

On the table along the street side two overdressed fat fuglies were crawling and one of them would finally remove her pants and start shooting ice cubes in glasses. Not a pleasant sight.

The music was horrible and too loud.

The lighting was adequate apart from disturbing strobe light beams from time to time.

There were about twenty customers.

Bottled Heineken 160 baht, up from 150 baht.

At Baccara A-GoGo bottled Heineken and similar beers are 185 baht now; at Peppermint A-GoGo the same beers are 175 baht now. If my memory serves me well, up to some ten years ago not a single gogo charged more than 95 baht for a beer. Not many other prices, salaries or pensions have doubled in that period. Also barfines, etc. have gone through the roof.

At Crazy House on Walking Street, far from a top gogo, an unattractive girl quoted me a barfine of 1,000 baht and a fee of 2,500 baht for an ST of two hours.

As to your article on that sex doll brothel, "Plastic container deposit charges... Sex doll company sets up test drive sessions at its Tyneside warehouse" on page Sex Aware Latest , I advise everybody to try a deaf-mute girl first. Although they are rare, over the years I have met two of them in Pattaya. They used to be very sweet, but the total lack of a normal conversation was very awkward to me.

Believe it or not: we all know that the Dutch are a strange people, but the Day of Paid Love , an initiative by the interest group and sex workers' union PROUD , on 15th February, the day after Saint Valentine and this year also the day after Ash Wednesday, is something new.

In the British press: Sex Workers Holland Amsterdam Red Light District Reality of Working . A decade or so ago the Dutch already invented the word prostituant , a blend of " prostituee " (prostitute) and " klant " (customer). Silver Star A-GoGo on Soi 8 has actually been closed for a while, but it reopened about a week later.

For once I completely agree with Dave's description of Shark Club A-GoGo on Soi 15. Their greeters, however nothing special, are sexier than their sisters inside. Pity of the time and money I wasted there.

I popped into New Star A-go-go in soi Diamond last night.

There were 10 Dancers, well past their prime, 3 were topless. They were all very friendly,

Draft Chang was 65 b for a full half pint. I could of had a good laugh in their but the Draft Beer was horrible so I left early.

If you like the A-Go-Go's in soi 13, like Big Hugs then you will like New Star,

Cobra Gold, the joint US-Thailand military exercise is scheduled to take place from 13th - 23rd February 2018. Naval based visitors will abound in Pattaya for the period and perhaps a few days after too.

This is the US's largest, annual, multi-nation military drills in the Asia-Pacific. A total of 15,000 troops will be deployed, along with six warships, 34 amphibious vehicles and 86 aircraft. Nine main countries are taking part, including South Korea, Japan and China, alongside the US and Thailand. A further 10 countries have been invited to observe the drills.

Last time the military were in town there seemed to be more servicemen from India strolling the GoGos rather than from the US.

It will be interesting to see if modern political correctness training will prevail and keep the guys in Central Festival rather than Walking Street. I somehow doubt it.

You can knock another A-go-go off your list, Shark Club on Soi 15 has gone over to Coyote Dancers. No Nudity of any kind.

The Girls were wearing Black Shorts, white tops and Bra, White Bow Ties, Black Braces, Bunny ears and tail. The show Girls were wearing huge Bikini's with a wide Strip of material joining the Bra to the pants.

There were some pretty Girls, but there were pretty Girls in Electric Blue and they were Naked. I know which venue I'll be going back to and its not Shark Club.

It's good to see a female barista showing more flesh than most performers in the 80 something places classified as gogos.

I have read somewhere that playing cards were forbidden in Thailand (and even carrying them in your luggage), but this hunt for darts is something new. I wonder if police also closed DartsLive2 with virtual darts games on Soi 6 at the previous location of Fun Seeker Dance Club.

I add a funny cartoon about Thai-style democracy.

At the occasion of the Chinese Lunar New Year there will be a Dragon Parade at the car park of Friendship Supermarket on Pattayatai in the afternoon of Friday 16th February 2016.

Black Swan Bar ia on Soi Khao Noi, Their price for an ST bar fine (room included) is still 350 baht. A still water is 45 baht and a non-alcoholic lady drink (pineapple juice on the rocks) is 100 baht.

The Soi LK Metro Duangjai Ladyboy Bar has moved to Soi Chaiyapoon. The other Duangjai Ladyboy Bar is still on Soi Lengkee at the previous location of Monkey Club.

On Soi 6 Sweet Ass (not sure if a donkey or an American arse was meant) has become Bunny Club and a member of the Nightwish group.

On Walking Street Majestic Guesthouse (ST rooms upstairs of Fahrenheit A-GoGo) has reopened after a closure of nearly a year.As far as I know this website does not provide information on ST rooms, guesthouses, love inns and motels. For various reasons many people, including me, do not want to take girls home or to their hotel room.

[Editor: Indeed Thai-Anxiety does not list ST hotels. There's no particular reason for this, beyond it being unrealistic to make a comprehensive list. I'd be happy to maintain a limited list for suggestions from readers though].

Had a great time in Walking Street on Monday night. I went back to Annabelle's but none of the Girls I was with a week earlier were in,  but there were a lot more Girls, they are back from their New Year holidays.

Had a great time in Happy all the Fat mediocre Coyote Dancers had gone (to Beach Club by the look of it), There were some very attractive slim Girls in Red. I was sitting with Pat, she used to be in Sweethearts, she was maaw and all the Girl on stage were laughing at her antics and me trying to cope with her. The cute coyote dancers in red were queueing up to get their tits out for a 100b tip. Any cheap Charlie should look away now, I spent 1100 b in tips including the Showgirls but had a great time,

I finished with a Coffee in Sweethearts . The Girls were back in there too, which made for a good atmosphere with the rock music. Moi was rubbing my face in her Bum then switched round and  was rubbing it in her Pussy. She wanted a 100 b tip as well, Giving tips is cheaper than a Barfine, and a whole lot more fun.

Marilyn Monroe A-GoGo closed on Walking Street on the 8th February. It had only been open 3 months. Presuming that it stays closed, the number of Pattaya GoGos dips below 80 to 79.

Silver Star A-GoGo on Soi 8 had actually been closed for a week before re-opening. That being said their guitar-shaped (or phallus-shaped) neon sign is still dark.

Also on Walking Street Sugar Baby A-GoGo seems to open only sporadically.

And The Bad Girls Club on Walking Street has indeed been converted into a massage parlour, one more.

Bad Girls A-GoGo recently opened on Walking Street but soon closed seemingly being unable to get the necessary licensing paperwork. The venue opened as B-Girls Massage on 5th February.

Meanwhile Top One has closed as an A-GoGo bar on Soho Square. On 1st February it re-opened as a Tom Bar. It now operates from midnight every day. The name has not been changed.

As Tom Bars generally don't allow unescorted guys then it is no longer included in the GoGo count, which is therefore is reduced to 80.

Re GoGos changing from day to day

Everyone must realize that every evening in a Bar or a-go-go is different and a review is what happened on one particular night.

When I went into Wildcats the Girl outside bringing in punters, came up to me and pulled her t-shirt up and flashed her bare tit's in my face later the mamasang did the same thing. When I went back a few day's later neither of these ladies were working.

When I popped into Annabelles last week, there was a new girl dancing. She had the biggest bum I've ever seen. When she turned around she had a very pretty face and nice tit's. She came over for a drink and I got my hands on her lovely Hugh Jarce. Even I got movement in the trouser department, which takes some doing after my stroke. if I go back tonight the chances of her being there again are slight but we will see.

There were two Girls dancing on stage with extremely large Tit's, the manager had a black eye. I said -did you get to close to the stage? but he didn't get the joke.

There were a couple of nice naked birds on the matt freely showing their charms, not hiding them like they do in Sugar baby ,

British expats in the Thai beach resort of Pattaya have been caught up in another police crackdown after officers raided bars across the city.

The police raided bars mostly in the vicinity of Soi 6 and were searching for dartboards, which they claimed were being used illegally by venues.

One bewildered bar owner on the strip reported police demanding to see a dartboard license. When they were unable to produce the appropriate documentation police confiscated their dartboards, reports Thai Visa .

When they enquired as to how they could apply for a license they were inevitably told the license did not exist.

Pattaya Darts, the city's largest amateur darts club, was forced to close temporarily and issued the pictures statement via social media,

In the small soi off Soi Buakhaow opposite the Sawasdee Siam building PinUp Club has gone dark ("HOUSE FOR SALE"). Strangely enough the sign is still lit.

On Soi Khao Talo Soi 9 PPBAR has gone dark once again.

After a short closure Silver Star A-GoGo on Soi 8 has reopened.

At Passion Dance Club on Soi 6 drink prices have gone up. Bottled Heineken is 125 baht now and a lady drink (Sangsom coke) 140 baht, but in-house fun is still 1,300 baht. Do not pay everything up front: pay the barfine of 300 baht to the bar and pay the girl's fee of 1,000 baht in the room after the deed.

At Butterfly Bar off Soi Siam Country Club bottled Heineken is 85 baht now and the ST bar fine (room included) is still 250 baht. Lady drink prices depend on what the girl wants: 100 baht for a Spy red, 115 baht for a bottled Leo, etc. I guess it is the normal price for those drinks plus 30 baht for the girl.

Silver Star A-GoGo on Soi 8 has gone dark, but reportedly only the sign So now the GoGo count has been restored to 81.

On Soi 6 Sweet Ass (not sure if a donkey or an American arse was meant) has become Bunny Club and a member of the Nightwish group.

On Soi Buakhao the Piss Stop Bar closed as the beginning of February. The bar has been a bit intermittent of late and seems to attract a fair bit of interest on the Pattaya forums.

And around the corner on Soi LK Metro Duangjai Ladyboy Bar has closed and is up for sale.

 

After a long while I revisited Champagne A-GoGo on Soi LK Metro.

The interior has not strikingly changed in the last two years, apart from the fact that Club Malibu has become a separate venue, Champagne Coyote.

I noticed that on the central stage there are only three chrome poles, but they are swivelling and suitable for pole dancers.

The dancers were a forgettable bunch clad in a colourful mix of big tops, big bottoms, bras and strings, but mostly overdressed. Many of them were one kilo more and at least one of them looked pregnant.

After a short unasked-for performance by two pole dancers, five or six topless fatties with big black bottoms went on stage. Not a pretty sight.

The shower cubicle was deserted.

The music was too loud with an unbearable beat and the lighting was very poor, probably on purpose.

The best thing were the German erotic cartoons on one of the television screens.

Most of the clientele seemed to be English draught drinkers.

BEWARE: the waitresses are too lazy to bring back small change.

Bottled Heineken 130 baht.

Meanwhile at Passion Dance Club on Soi 6 the old mamasan Nee has been replaced by a much younger one: Naam.

All prices (also for alcoholic drinks) have remained unchanged.

Before they close again I had a look at Top One A-GoGo on Soho Square off the Russian sector of Walking Street.

The interior is dark, minimalist and mostly black. Along the front wall and along the right corner is double-tier black bench seating.  There were also some black sofas.

The unisex toilets are behind a curtain at the rear.

The white drink tables and the S-shaped stage with six chrome poles fixed to the ceiling looked scuffed as if they were recycled.

I saw several average and chubby dancers in black string bikinis and black stay-up fishnet stockings.

And I saw a lot more solid and fat ones in black baby-dolls and black négligés with black underwear .

Most of them (in both categories) were wearing pasties underneath. One of the bikini dancers had pulled her bra so high that the pasties were peeping under it. A funny sight.

There were shows at 9, 10, 11, 12 and 1 o'clock.

For those shows the bikini dancers would go on stage without stilettos and without stockings and after a while take off their tops, but not their pasties.

They called two Asian customers onto the stage, stripped them down to their pants and performed some kind of a half-hearted lap dance.

During this act also Zombie by the Cranberries was played with them most probably unaware of the recent decease of the lead singer of that group.

The only nudity I have seen were two sets of uncovered nipples.

The music was blaring and the lighting poor.

To my surprise there were several customers.

BEWARE: lady drinks (as per the altered menu) are now 200-250 baht.

Chang draught 79 baht, bottled Heineken 180 baht.

About two weeks ago I too happen to have been drinking at We Are No 1 A-GoGo in Jomtien.

I think Dave's ladyboy radar does not function very well as I noticed two of them, one who went on stage and another one, also a dancer, who was hiding in the toilets.

Apart from the old, fat and ugly women, I saw a half decent one who was as drunk as a lord.

The tiny waitress seems to have vanished and the security man is now roaming the place.

I doubt you can still get an all-in experience for 1,000 baht at We Are No 1 A-GoGo. Many moons ago I barfined a young spinner from there and I paid 1,000 baht for the barfine only.

If I remember correctly bottled Heineken is still 120 baht and Chang draught 55 baht.

I popped into Naughty Girls on Soi Diamond last night, it was quite lively.

There were 10 or 12 attractive Girls, mixed dress, some coyote, Bikini and 2 topless. The Girls stay on the stage until a punter buys them a drink.

The music was loud, but not unbearable. Comfortable bench seating.

5 Norwegians came in and really livened the place up, climbing on tables and dancing in the aisles and buying lots of drinks for Dancers, mamasangs and waitresses. They'd come from Peppermint which they didn't like very much.

Very friendly place for a beer.

Lady drinks over priced at 170b.

On Soi Bongkod Velvet Club has gone dark.

At Babydolls A-GoGo on Soi 15 a bottled Heineken is 150 baht now.

At Fabrice Bar on Soi Banlang bottled Heineken is still 80 baht and a lady drink (apple juice) 100 baht; ST rooms are 300 baht now (no barfine due).

At Butterfly Bar off Soi Siam Country Club bottled Heineken is 85 baht now and the ST bar fine (room included) is still 250 baht. Lady drink prices depend on what the girl wants: 100 baht for a Spy red, 115 baht for a bottled Leo, etc.

As to the discussion on the new drink prices (eg 105 Baht for a small Singha beer) in the Nightwish group bars, this is the current list of their members:

on Soi 6:

• Night Wish Bar

• Pussy Club

• Horny Bar

• Sexy and the City

• Toy Box

• Offshore Bar

• The Butterfly Bar

• Kawaii Bar

• Foxy's Bar

• Mods Bar

• Bunny Club (ex Sweet Ass)

• Nature Bar

on Soi Full Love Inn:

• Club Sin

• J Club

On the small soi off Soi Buakhaow opposite Pattaya City Hospital, at the latest location of Mai Lu Si bar, Nieuw Vlaanderen Bed & Breakfast Sports Bar & Restaurant has opened. (As feared, Pookie from Surin could not succeed on her own at Mai Lu Si bar after Charlie's decease.)

The Belgian owner of Nieuw Vlaanderen appears to be a brother of the owner of the defunct Klein Vlaanderen restaurant (once a triple unit and later a single unit with heavy advertising in Russian) on Second Road opposite the Austrian Domicil restaurant. This new owner seems to be new to the Pattaya scene and I doubt if he will last long.

I popped into Bliss A-GoG o in Walking street on Friday Evening.

There were the usual Coyote Dancers on stage, most of them slim and attractive. They danced for around 15 minutes and then a second group came on, not quite so slim and attractive. There were two slightly overweight Girls. Naturally they kept smiling at me.

The 3rd group of Dancers were wearing a G-string and an all over red body stocking. Once on stage some of the Girls removed there G-String and they took up poses pointing there Pussies at the Punters. Unfortunately they turned the lights down at this point so you could only get the odd glimpse of heaven. Why go to the expense of paying for naked Girls and then making it so dark you can't see them properly?

The music was good and not too loud. Draft Beer was poor value at 95 b for a small glass,

Unfortunately there was only one attractive waitress the rest were too fat.

Not a bad place for a Beer. But it would be much better if they left the lights alone.

Happy was better last night, about 60% of the Girls were in Bikini's. Most of the Girls were attractive, some very attractive. The mediocre Coyote Dancers had all gone. The Showgirls came on twice while I was there but they still kept their G-Strings on.

A definite improvement, I wonder how long it will last?

Yes A-GoGo on Soi Diamond has been dark for a few days so things do not look good for a GoGo on the wrong side of the soi.

Meanwhile on the 16th January, Chaos A-GoGo on Soi LK Metro reverted to the old name for the venue, Kiss A-GoGo.

Mandarin A-GoGo re-opened on Walking Street on 19th January 2018.

The net result is that there are still 81 GoGos in the Pattaya area.

Electric Blue beer prices

Please note that beer prices are 110 baht for a large draught beer. There are no small draught beers anymore

Windmill's bored showgirls

I think part of the problem with Windmill's naked showgirls looking bored and spending their time chatting to each other and putting on make-up is due to the customers. There seem to be quite a few pensioners (mostly German) who take up all the seats around the naked showgirls at around 8 pm. The pensioners buy one drink each - a beer or cola - and try make their one drink last up to an hour. But they don't give tips or buy drinks for the girls - they're waiting for someone else to do that so they can watch the action without having to pay for it. Unfortunately, given that there is no room for 'real customers' nothing much happens. Eventually by about 9 to 9.30 the pensioners go home to bed and then 'real paying and tipping customers' can get near the girls and then the action starts.

Comment: Health Warning: being a cheap Charlie can seriously damage your health.

19th January 2018. Thanks to Dave

David C is right about the cheap charlies taking the best seats in the Windmill and Electric Blue.

My next door neighbour, Knocker from Blackpool used to go to the Windmill at 8pm and sit their for a couple of hours, over a couple of draft beers, they were about 50 b then. He was a real balloon chaser, he'd go anywhere for free food or drink.

We were in a bar in Jomtien, I said are you ready to go? he said he was waiting for his change, when it came it was 5b which he pocketed, but his meanness caught up with him in the end.

His scoopy fell on top of him while parking outside his house and he lay there for about an hour before Jo the Taxi driver came home and found him,  but he did not go to Hospital and get his cuts seen to and died a few days later of blood poisoning,

Comment: Health Warning: get your cuts treated

19th January 2018. Thanks to David C.

Coincidentally, I saw a guy on Beach Road a couple of days ago with a very dirty bandage round his right ankle (dog bite or bike accident) and a hugely swollen and red right leg. I suspect he had blood poisoning from his injury.

I tried to talk to him to make sure he was seeing a doctor and taking antibiotics. But he seemed to be one of these washed-out drunks who have spent all their money and so I couldn't get any sense from him. Maybe he'll be dead in a few days? Like the bloke Dave mentioned, this guy didn't seem to understand how serious a wound can become in a hot country like Thailand if not treated properly, and there's no excuse as hospitals here are very cheap.

On Thappraya Road Soi 12, in Phratamnak's Russian sector, Catwalk has opened.

That street is rather narrow and it is not easy to park a car nearby.

Although this is not obvious from the picture it is a double-unit shophouse.

Apart from the bar and a sofa corner, there are high tables and high chairs that make you think of a sushi bar.

I saw some fat to very fat waitresses, which is not a problem by me.

I also saw a number of (but way fewer than 17) sub-average hostesses. They were very pushy for lady drinks, which has an adverse effect on me.

I found out that the bar fine was 500 baht (ST room included) and that the fuglies wanted 1,500 baht ST and an additional 20 baht for the may baan (cleaner) or 2.000 baht LT. I was also told that the hostesses were freelancers, hired at 500 baht a day.

Unsurprisingly I was their only customer.

BEWARE: not all hostesses are available.

Bottled Heineken was 110 baht, which is more than I have ever paid in any Pattaya gentlemen's club.

Update: Temporarily closed

18th January 2018. Ishi of www.pattayagogos.net (Japanese language)

Catwalk has temporarily closed from 16th Jan.

I popped into Jomtien's We Are No 1 agogo just before Christmas. Nothing much has changed.

There was no sign of any Lady Boys or Midget waitresses,

There were 7 or 8 reasonable dancers and 1 old fat one. Guess who came and sat next to me? I ignored her but she wouldn't go away, sat there for half an hour till she had to go and dance. While she was dancing I moved the stool she had been sitting on. It didn't work she soon put it back. She sat there for 5 mins then finally fucked off.

None of the other girls approached me, although there were several without punters.

There was an extremely Fat man sitting at the stage, he was so big he could not walk unaided. He had 2 girls all over him.

If you want a cheap drink with some good music, not a bad way of passing a couple of hours,

Top One A-GoGo is located at the far end of Soho Square from Walking Street.

After a few days opening Top One went dark for a few days. It re-opened on 14th January 2018.

The bar has now introduced draft beer at 79 Baht.

There are now 81 GoGos around Pattaya.

Mandarin A-GoGo in Waking Street is set to re-open on 19th January.

Road works on Pattayaland 1 (Soi 13/3) are rounded off now, but Bollywood has not yet opened.

Road works on Pattayaland 2 (Soi 13/4) have started now and WakaWaka has gone dark.

On internet I read that Palmer's Bar on Pattayaland 2 (Soi 13/4) will anyway be closing its doors by the end of this month (if not before). Personally I have never understood the combination of a snack bar and a girlie bar. As they say: do not eat where you shit and do not shit where you eat.

On Soi 6 the beer bars belonging to the Nightwish Group ( Nightwish Bar, Sky Bar, Nature Bar , etc.) have jumped the psychological barrier of 100 baht for a small beer, a bit over the top for the area and the kind of venues. Their prices for other drinks and lady drinks seem to have been raised accordingly. (This is being further discussed on the  pattaya-addicts.com forum ). Killing the goose that lays the golden eggs comes to mind. That being said Soi 6 has never been my favourite hunting ground and will most probably never become.

I did hear that rumour of an additional tax on alcoholic drinks, but I have nowhere been charged more for a beer up to now. I think there is something that does not meet the eye.

On Walking Street Sugar Baby A-GoGo has gone dark once more.

Also Pinup Club in a small soi off Soi Buakhaow has gone dark.

Le Private Bar on Soi Lengkee, the French owner of which has been exposed as a police informer, is still for sale.

On Soi Nern Plab Wahn Queen Vic Guesthouse , previously Supatta Café , has become Queen Maxima Bar . I guess it is Dutch owned.

At Passion Dance Club on Soi 6 the old mamasan Nee has been replaced by a much younger one: Naam. All prices (also for alcoholic drinks) have remained unchanged.

Top One A-GoGo only opened a few days ago but it has already been dark since 8th January.

The location  on Soho Square at the end furthest from Walking Street has not been a hit for any enterprise to date, so hopefully he rent isn't too high.

So now there are 80 GoGos around Pattaya.

Thailand has just introduced a significant new tax on alcohol served in bars, discos and GoGos.

My friend Paul wanted to go back to Happy just after Christmas, so we popped in. He was looking for his friend Nook who he boom booms.

It was all change again with the majority of Girls back in Bikini's and a handful of topless Girls. I asked Nook what was going on. She said she did not know... the big boss want Coyote Dancers...but it not work...many people complain,

There were some lovely looking Birds on show but unless you were Asian you might as well have had a bucket on your head. The Girls were not interested in Farangs apart from the show girls who came over and waggled their bums in my face looking for 100b tips, which they got, its hard to refuse them.

When you think how good Peppermint and Happy used to be it's heart breaking.

A few years back, a naked Girl in Babydolls asked me to push a Banana up her Pussy. When she took it out I ate it. In Lollipop, Spicy Girls, Beavers, Casanovy, Baby Dolls, XYZ, Private Dancer, Hooty's , the original Doll house and the Windmill all had naked Girls and hands on fun, Pussy eating and even Blow jobs in some bars,

Now all we get is sexless Coyote Dancers, Will the good times ever come back?

A couple of weeks before Christmas my friend Paul and I were on the bus going to LK Metro but the driver turned down Soi 13, so we got off and wandered into P'Ying.

We were the only customers. There was a slim naked lady in her 50's dancing round the pole, a young chubby girl also naked, and a cashier in her late 40's. Paul bought the 2 naked Girls a drink and the cashier came and sat with me. She soon stripped off and I bought her a drink.

The old lady was working on Paul's Dick and soon had it hard. I gave her a 100b to get it out but his zipper was locked and she couldn't undo it. She wanted Paul to go upstairs for a blow job but he wouldn't go.

We had a good hour in there, a lot more fun than looking at beautiful Girls in Walking Street who totally ignore you,

Afterwards Paul said he regretted not going upstairs for the blow job, the lady wanted 700b. He could have had one in the bar for nothing if he'd unlocked his zip. I bet he's regretting it even more now He's back in his flat in cold rainy London.

On Soi 6, at the previous location of Mandarin Club etc., 4PLAY has opened.

Inside about everything is black, except for some chrome poles and the Chinese lanterns, apparently a relic of the Mandarin era. There is a makeshift, also black and dark, stage and several booths with worn-out bench seating, repeatedly repaired with black tape.

There are stairs to the first floor, left of the entrance.

I was told that most girls were sourced from the beer bars on Soi Buakhaow. I saw about ten dancers in big black tops and in way too big black shorts. Most of them were overweight and several even pot bellied.

No nudity.

The lighting was poor and the music was crap and there was a terrible cigarette smoke stench.

4PLAY seems to be popular with dark-skinned customers.

Although the females at 4PLAY are by far inferior (and too overdressed) compared to those at Passion Dance Club across the street, 4PLAY is more expensive for everything, albeit it can hardly be labelled a gogo.

Private in-house fun upstairs 2,000 (500 + 1,500) baht.

Bottled Heineken 130 baht, lady drinks 150 baht.

Bad Girls went dark on Walking Street on 1st January, not long after it opened. The speculation is that the bar has struck licensing problems and in particular a ban on new goes on the seaward side of Walking Street.

Meanwhile Mandarin A-GoGo remains dark, seemingly awaiting a re-development and a new theme.

Better news for Sugar Baby though. It has been dark for a few days citing 'supply problems' The bar is now expected to re-open on 3rd January.

Update: And indeed Sugar Baby Re-opened on 3rd January.

And a correction to the GoGo count as there are now 81 GoGos open around Pattaya.

Top One A-GoGo has opened at the end of Soho Square furthest from Walking Street, in the venue that was previously Flex Club.

The GoGo opened on 1st January and is run by a Chinese man and a Thai gogo girl.

I visited at 9:15pm on 1st Jan. I counted 4 models (not topless), 13 coyotes and 11 PR on the mamasan's board.

It depends on seat location but I got terrible sound from the lower seat nearest the entrance.

No draught beer, and the cheapest drinks are soft drinks at 140B. Bottled Heineken is 180B and Lady Drinks are 150B or 200B for models.

There are now 81 bars around Pattaya self identifying as GoGos.
