Pattaya Nightlife News and Reviews

Last night on Walking Street the venue with the honeycomb motifs on the fa ç ade, but no name, unless No Photo was the name, where Eclipse, Coyote Club/Hades and Silver Star 3 used to be, was closed.

The offical name was apparently Fairies Club but the GoGo was often noted on Pattaya forms as the No Name GoGo or else Blue Sky A-GoGo, after the company name which also owns bars on Walking Street and Casnovy A-GoGo.

Casnovy A-GoGo is the best bet to find any of the girls or staff departing from the closed GoGo.

There are now 82 bars in the Pattaya area claiming to be GoGos.

At my recent visit at Butterfly Bar off Soi Siam Country Club there were about ten girls and no other customers.

All of them, slim or fat, cute or ugly, young or old expect the same ST fee: 1,000 baht.

Some younger ones (and not necessarily the nicest spinners) seem to ignore older punters. Perhaps they are waiting for a Prince Charming, a Knight in a Shining Armour on a White Horse, but those are few and far between at the Dark Side and probably in most of Pattaya.

Some of the more mature (30+) girls have kept a good figure, complain they have not been shagged for two weeks (true or not) and compete by offering the most complete service you might wish at the same tariff: rimming, bareback, anal, A2M, MFF threesome and MFM threesome. For the last service (aka DP or sandwich) you will need a wingman.

Barfine (room included) still 220 baht.

Standard lady drinks are still 80 baht, special lady drinks such as Spy (pronounce: es-pie) are 100 baht. Bottled Heineken still 80 baht.

A popular Bar late night club on Soi Diamond was raided by Pattaya police at just before 7.30am.

Over 20 police from the Banglamung District Bar Licensing Unit, the Thai Navy, Pattaya City Officials and Pattaya Police conducted a raid of the Casino Club. Inside were approximately 70 staff and mostly foreign patrons.

Urine Tests on staff members were made and 11 of them failed the test and were later arrested and charged with class 1 drug consumption offences. Police found that 5 young adults were under the drinking age of 20.

5 staff members were detained and taken away for further questioning.

Easy 17 is a long running and well known open beer found in the Siren Complex n Beach Road just by the entrance to Walking Street.

Kevin made fro a genial host and I am sure that there will many hoping that he will another opportunity soon.

A recent Walking Street video by a certain Angela Cummings (What is in a name ?): (Better put the sound off.).

[Editor's note: An American nutter who's idea of street preaching is to randomly shout 'wicked' or 'repent' at passers by. Maybe all for effect though, as these supposed comments didn't even get people to look around. I suspect that the witless commentary was dubbed on later, clearly without the aid of a scriptwriter. I don't think the good lord was very kind to Angela Cummings when handing out oratory talents].

Tony's Apple Pub on Walking Street is closed ( FOR RENT ).

Maxine's A-GoGo at the venue that was most famously Carousel is now sporting a 2 million Baht price tag.

Black Angels Bar on Soi Lablae has changed hands once more. It is owned by an old Brit and his Thai wife now. The bar counter is in the front right now.

They have about five girls now. One of them is a blonde 26-year-old deaf mute girl, Im, who started there recently after a career as a dancer at Rainbow 4 on Nana Plaza (Bangkok). The communication via a notepad was rather weird.

Barfine 300 baht ST, no ST rooms. ST rooms at the 24 Hr motel next to Mac's Bar, also on Soi Lablae, 280 baht.

Bottled Heineken 60 baht; lady drinks are the normal price of the drink plus 30 baht for the girl, e.g. 85 baht for a bottled Singha.

Mermaid Bar Beer on Soi Khao Noi has always been struggling, but I very strongly doubt if they are going to be more successful in the Mabprachan area, which is more dead than alive.

At my latest visit which left me as unsatisfied as ever the Thai wife of the current Scottish owner denied they were going to close on Soi Khao Noi.

Red Lion Pub & Restaurant on Soi Khao Noi appears to be open for business.

BAD NEWS: Climax on the corner of Soi Buakhaow and Soi LK Metro has changed their dress code to coyote and big bikinis, no strings any more.

On Soi Diamond the venue that used to be Maxine's Club and before that Dream Club A-GoGo and Carousel A-GoGo is for sale once again ( quick sale , 2 million baht).

On Walking Street the venue where Eclipse , Coyote Club/Hades and Silver Star 3 used to be has reopened. On the facade are honeycomb motifs now, but no name yet.

On Soi Post Office (Soi 13/2), where Hot & Cold A-GoGo used to be, is Shonky's Bar taking shape, but still far from ready. Apparently they are making nice stairs and the ground floor will serve as an entrance only. I wonder what the purpose is of the quadracycles in front of it.

White Oyster Lounge

There has been a (false) rumour on internet boards that White Oyster Lounge on Soi Chaiyapornwithi had been permanently closed.

At my visit some days ago I was told they had been closed for a short period because of the boss's holiday, but I am not sure if this was the real story.

My impression was they have restarted with all new staff, but at least there were some good naked diving nymphs picking up coins from the swimming pool bottom (still 200 baht for an ashtray filled with twenty 10-baht coins).

Anyway it is a great relief they still exist because, if most other bars on the Dark Side are perfectly interchangeable, White Oyster Lounge is a real institution, one of a kind.

Bottled Heineken still 90 baht.

Stars Bar

After three months under her ownership, Nok had to stop operations at Stars Bar on Soi Kao Talo, the rent (20,000 baht for a single-unit empty shell) being way too steep. One month later Stars Bar was reopened by a short fatty, Annie, who says she pays the same excessive rent.

There were two rather chubby, but friendly girls around the 20-year mark.

Barfine 300 baht ST, the girls expecting 1,000 baht ST.

The owner Annie said the ST rooms were not yet ready/cleaned.

Bottled Heineken 70 baht, lady drinks 100 baht.

Shonky's Bar has taken over from the venue that was previously Hot and Cold A-GoGo at the 2nd Road end of Soi Post Office.

The beer bar is using the upstairs space. It is currently perhaps more of a GoGo space, being windowless, but it looks like building work is in progress.

A New GoGo opened on 18th July at the venue that was previously Eclipse A-GoGo.

There is not yet a sign, but it is apparently called Blue Sky A-GoGo. This is the name of several past and present Walking Street beer bars and is also associated with Casnovy A-GoGo.

It is the 81st GoGo in or around Pattaya.

Update: Fairies Club

21st July 2015. See article from strangethingsarehappening.com

I heard new GoGo's name is Fairies Club, hence the PR girls put on wings.

Service staff put on T-shirts with the logo of Blue Sky . Blue Sky is the name of company which has Casnovy.

I' m sorry but I find it impossible to believe that it could be called Fairies Club. But then again, this is Thailand.

Climax has opened on the corner of Soi Buakhaow and Soi LK Metro at the location where FunHouse A-GoGo and Club Blu used to be.

The interior seems to have remained unchanged since the FunHouse days, but you can again look through the windows (both ways).

There were 15 to 20 dancers in black bikinis, varying from skimpy to huge. Six or seven of them were on the main stage at any time and one on the small stage.

I was impressed with the quality of the girls, which on average was much higher than what I have seen in many gogos in recent times. I saw some very decent sets of buttocks in black strings.

No coyotes , but also no nudity.

There were also some ugly fat old hostesses in black dresses.

The waitresses were cute in their check skirts.

The music was too noisy to my taste, but that is me.

Climax appears to be owned by the same people who also own Billabong Bar on Soi LK Metro.

Bottled Heineken 130 baht.

The bar describes itself as a coyote bar, but the dress code of string bikinis earns a listing on the GoGos page and so is the 79th bar in Pattaya with Thai girls dancing in bikinis or less.

The Family Mart on the corner of Walking Street and Soi 15, which was completely gutted, has reopened ... as a Family Mart, thank goodness not an extra gogo.

On Soi Diamond Maxine's Club is still closed and Cream Club seems to be struggling to open every day.

At the previous location of Tiger Club A-GoGo on Walking Street is a big sign TOMBOY CLUB now taking away the last doubt.

Living Dolls 1 on Walking Street has indeed reopened after some renovation .

The layout is still the same, but the small dancing podium/bath/jacuzzi has disappeared.

The most visible signs of renovation are the new black upholstery of the bench seating and of the bar stools and the new (or repainted) black tops of the tables.

The toilets are still as makeshift as before.

There were eight dancers on stage with two of them going on and off stage after each song. I counted one (1) huge topless dancer and eight (8) bikini dancers, many of them with double tops and/or double bottoms. All the other regular dancers were overdressed coyotes.

Some looked cute enough, many average and some plain ugly.

There was also a show team (I guess) of five strippers, several of them well over forty years old.

Barfine 1,000 baht with even the ugliest ones wanting 2,000 baht ST.

The waitresses were still clad in the same uniforms as before and were friendly enough to return even small change on a tray, which is often forgotten at many gogos nowadays, what I call automatic tipping . You happily tip those sweethearts.

Bottled Heineken 145 baht.

On Soi Lengkee, two units past French owned Le Private, a bar along the lines of Mango Pub on Soi Khao Noi has opened: Bar de la Poste .

Look for the sign of Trafalgar Bar & Guest House. The entrance is rather discreet and you have to ring the bell to get in.

The bar is spacious enough and the lighting is satisfactory.

The girls are not all top models, but they are not shy at all. There were seven or eight of them sitting on bar stools in dresses that were short enough to reveal their shaven pussies.

For lady drinks of 120 baht they drop their dresses, the only garments they are wearing apart from their shoes, and you can inspect their bodies.

Barfines are 300 baht behind the BJ counter and in the playroom downstairs and 400 baht in the ST room upstairs. The girls expect 500 baht for a BJ and from 700 baht for FS.

When I arrived I was the only customer, but soon a group of three or four other farangs came in, who were having a good time with a couple of girls getting undressed.

Shortly before I left a group of French speaking men arrived, who started chatting among them.

Bar de la Poste appears to be French owned.

Bottled Heineken 80 baht.

The ban on hookahs, waterpipes, shishas or whatever you want to call them seems to be followed well from Soi 6 (Soi Yodsak) to Soi 16 (Soi Arab).

I am happy they are gone, not only because of the stench, but even more because of the fire and injury hazards. The boys riding their motorbikes holding burning charcoal always scared me off.

That being said, I have never seen hookahs on the Dark Side or in Ban Chang.

Living Dolls One on central Walking Street has re-opened.

You'd be hard pressed to see the renovations. New lighting and a lick of paint on the stage and some new seating.

Some nice looking new girls and no Coyote Dancers.

Pattaya's GoGo count has therefore climbed back up to 79.

808 Club has re-opened after a short police closure. The disco made the world news after someone posted pictures of a Thai girl giving a guy a blow job in the bar area.

Climax has opened on Soi LK Metro in the venue that was previously FunHouse A-GoGo. It is billed as a coyote bar

Meanwhile there is life at Hot and Cold on Soi Post Office. It was once hot, but was running cool for recent years before closing. The bar has now been unchained and a staff wanted sign has been posted.

Peter of the Las Vegas GoGos in Soi Yamato is having a Big Boss Big Party on Saturday 11th July at Las Vegas III.

The newly opened GoGo, Maxine's Club on Soi Diamond, has newly closed.

This was originally reported as a temporary issue with licensing paperwork but it is now looking more permanent with the bar signs being covered up. Neighbouring bouncers also say that the bar won't be re-opening.

So now the GoGo count has dropped to 77.

On Walking Street Roxy/Hooty's A-GoGo has closed; even the signage has vanished. The previous occupation by a pussy tricks bar was already noted as a temporary venue whilst awaiting redevelopment of the site.

There are now 78 bars around Pattaya with Thai girls dancing in bikinis or less.

Funhouse A-GoGo is set to return shortly as Climax, but the publicity makes it clear that that this will be just a coyote bar.

The Family Mart, several steps up on the corner of Walking Street and Soi 15, has been gutted. I wonder if it is going to be one more gogo, although I doubt if in the current climate a gogo would be a better choice than a convenience store.

At the previous location of Scandinavia Bar on Beach Road between Soi 13 and Soi 13/1 a fast-food joint, Hooters something, is being planned.
