Scooters bar - totally devoid of customers. The old Book Bar to become Hungry Hippo. Beer Hubb is a nice looking bar,would be rammed on a weekend in the UK,but everywhere looks dead as f**k. But what do you expect when TAT are mainly aiming at tourists that follow the flag or eat and drink out of 7/11. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemondropkid Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 (edited) Really liked Beer Hubb- shame to see it had no customers but looking at the daytime photos of other venues that appeared to the norm. I'd be interested to know what time the photos were taken- is it really that dead or just too hot/too early?

Jambo Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 The current consistently high temperatures are putting everybody off going out during the daytime. I took no more than 10 minutes changing the battery yesterday on my wee Honda. Walked back into the house and my shorts and polo shirt were as if I had just come out of the shower in them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a very good Chicken Jalfrezi. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took all the motor cycle shots from the seats outside the premises. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem,too many bars,and too many people trying to make a living in a country whose high season is a quarter of the year. Add in TAT encouraging customers on 'all inclusive' packages from China/India over Westerners who spread their money about its gonna be hard for many bars. And ex-pats are usually pretty savvy with their money,especially with the exchange rates last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really pissed me off about this place,is when they expanded,I lost my laundry and the ladyboy that had the Salon out front. Laundry lady reappeared across the street,but now I have to walk to Bhuakao to get a shave and shave.🤷♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazle Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 As you might know, The Office gogo in Soi LKM (Pattaya) closed a few weeks ago for refurbishment. It was my understanding that it was due to re-open this evening. However, I walked past it last evening and it was open. I was with a fellow BM who I had promised "Happy Hour" priced drinks in Soi LKM gogos. This was at 7:35pm, and I was embarrassed to find that, when our bins eventually arrived, bottled beer was 145 Baht. The place itself has been completely redesigned. It now has one large, central, almost rectangular, stage, and that stage is a bit unusual in that it has no poles for the girls to hug. There is a single row of seats down the left side (looking in from the entrance) and two down the right. Everything is in black and white - the decor and the girls' uniforms. There were about 20 girls on stage when we arrived - all over-dressed in coyote gear. The shift change saw the same number of girls but this time dressed in bikinis. I was hoping that perhaps (at the least) the tops would come off, but after 3 records that had not happened, and we left. All the girls (both shifts) wore silly-looking white paper cuffs, and (even sillier-looking) white paper collars were being handed out to them whilst we were there. The girls were not bad looking overall, but I see no reason to return in a hurry. If you do decide to take a look for yourself, be careful not to trip on the step at the entrance door. P.S. Initially, there was a guy there dressed in black, with Champagne Agogo written on his shirt. I wondered if Champagne now owned Office, but I suspect it was just a goodwill visit on the opening night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
