Got to love the thais o ptimism sometimes. Been open for quite a while m8, the past 2 long weekends that have happened, they were double parking out the front and parking on the ramp down to the underground car park at night..a part from those high spots barely seen anyone in there whilst passing...... as for the Thais optimism, that's what caught my attention as all the bars around the entrance are dead....lol..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fforest Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Sensations AND Baccara opening.........This is insane........You can't keep cutting a pie forever..... Sensations AND Baccara were not really liked by expats to much......Baccara has been treating farangs like 2nd class customers for many a year now..........And after about the first month Sensations was opened it was mostly just ignored by expats do to very little flesh being on display and a abundance girls expecting top dollar......

Popular Post Jambo Posted September 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Well dear readers one would get the impression from this topic that it is totally doom and gloom in Pattaya these days with nothing but empty beer bars and mostly customer devoid GoGo's still charging expats170+ baht for a beer. As Bob Dylon once proclaimed "The times they are a-changing" and as we all know there are simply not enough expats to support all the bars and particularly the GoGo's in high rental locations and the cost of the girls wages. There is however one sector of the entertainment scene that is becoming a veritable growth area and that is in the "Gentlemens Club" area with new ones cropping up all over town. The term is a little misleading as maybe "Hostess Bars" is just as good a description. Now as they are all in closed, air-conditioned premises one is not going to be able to tell from the outside just how busy they may, or may not be, from a photograph of the outside. So purely on the grounds of market research last afternoon/night I joined the "usual suspects" for an extended tour of such establishments which judging by the state of my hangover today involved the consumption of prodigious amounts of alcohol the cost of which was naturally a bit higher than the average beer bar but much less than that being charged in GoGo's. I remember the names of the first three being Camel Toe, The Den and Babylon and in between there was another one behind the Lion Pub but I cannot remember the name. The hostesses do not generally seem to be of the "shy and reserved" variety. It was "Cowgirl" theme night in Babylon and I got roped in so to speak. Social distancing seemed to be at a premium and it was very busy. Be honest ..................................You would, wouldn't you! YEE HA ! ! I told her she was a very naughty lady. Apparently tonight is themed as "bikini bottom" or possibly "No bikini bottom" night but I am waiting for "Blow Job" Thursday to come round. After Babylon we moved onto L K Metro and had a few beers at 44 baht for any bottle in a beer bar and then went to see Ricky in Pandora.That was the only GoGo we visited and the most expensive venue for drinks by far. After that it was onto Soi Boomerang's Clubs by which time I was feeling no pain. In conclusion. It is very sad for the bars and many GoGo's which are falling by the wayside but if you know how and where to have a good time it is there to be enjoyed in and around Pattaya.
