The Indians that have been in Pattaya for a long time mostly just opened countless Indian restaurants or tailor shops....

So I would say most of the Indian clubs are backed by new Indian money....These clubs are far from cheap as far as drink prices go....So some Indian tourist seem to be not hurting for cash....

Or one drink split 7 ways?

Didn't NDTV show an Indian guy's bill where he spent 200,000+ baht in an afternoon on Soi 6?

@Yesitisdakid had mentioned earlier this week what used to be Fever on Bong Koch 8 was being redone as a bar. I don't normally ride down that side of the block of buildings, but detoured that way for a couple of photos of the WIP.

The new owners were there so chatted a bit with them. When I asked what the bar's name would be, they hadn't decided on one yet. Thought that kind of strange as I would think that's one of the first things you would do when pulling licenses and starting construction on a new bar. They also didn't know when they would open.

Something may have got lost in the translation, but if I heard the ladies correctly, the new bar where Fever used to be is opening this Monday and the name will be "It's So Bad". Like I said, I think something got lost in translation even though I repeated the name back to the ladies to make sure what I heard was correct. I'll be watching for the bar sign to go up for confirmation on the bar name.

Wasn't there a story on Shhhh forum years ago where a guy dropped a huge load like that in Shhhh bar ?

 

There was a pic of his receipt.

Rumours abound that this was a set up for publicity, as the guy ordered however many hundred shots, which would be enough to have the entire Soi pissed up.

Having not witnessed it myself, I can only go with the more sensible and realistic version of events that it was indeed a publicity stunt.

I was in Mistys on Pattayaland 2 when the legends "Razor" and "Slasha" were having a bell ringing competition. Both very successful businessmen from HK and both very affable chaps. Wouldn't accept any drinks in return and told me to "just enjoy myself and avail of the free drinks coming my way".

I think the legendary LDK was in the bar at the same time.

Yep, something definitely got lost in the translation, or more likely mangled Tinglish trying to pronounce the name. Still seems an odd name for a bar unless there's some meaning behind Estobest that I'm not aware of.

Seems another of my favorite bars is but a shadow of its former glory. Papaguyos is mostly empty. There are a few girls sitting around playing with their phones but no music or dancers on stage. I had a lot of fun in that bar over the years. it's sad to see.

I don't know if you're a fan of GC's, but quite a few have opened since you were last here. Depending on your proclivities, lots of fun to be had at the various clubs.

Me too, I used to work my way through the gin menu occasionally. It used to be a brilliant place, I even managed to block the toilets there once.

Was also in Heavens Above , had a lot of fun and bought a couple of lady drinks ... when I paid , my change was THB 100 shy ... I pointed it out and it was quickly rectified... may have been an error, but worth checking .. I did tell the farang manager as I was leaving
