Yesitisdakid Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) I spent many hours in Clinton Plaza in Bangkok even more than in Nana Plaza or Cowboy. The early 2000s this place flourished only to be bulldozed and replaced by the Sofitel Hotel too bad had good fun there. Edited April 21, 2019 by Yesitisdakid 1
thegrogmonster Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Walked past Clinton Plaza numerous times but never ventured in there. Edited April 21, 2019 by thegrogmonster
Yesitisdakid Posted April 21, 2019 Author Posted April 21, 2019 Ricky that owns Pandora and was the first manager of baby dolls had rock-hard Go-Go there. Probably my best bar fine ever came from Dollhouse there. I remember sitting one afternoon with Daryl one of the owners. He gave me a lot of good information about how Thailand worked. Better days for sure 2

Many painted it as he was whacked out from opioid painkillers when he fell (ankle injury in sky diving accident) but many others, including myself saw him 30 minutes prior on soi 15 as the Super Bowl ended and he looked just fine. Something just doesn't and never will add up there. And you are right, very sad. A legend lost.

code_slayer_bkk Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Yep, remember it well ... would stop a couple of times a week at Checkpoint Charlies for a couple cold ones ...... Would also stop in the White House ( if I remember correctly ) now and then ... it was an okay place to start your night .... I never finished the night there though ...

snakestabler Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 This map is how the complex ended up. In the very early days it was just a load of stand alone beer bars around the edges with a few more in the centre. There were no go-go bars. I used to hang about in the Wild West bar which was either side of the left hand entrance. Suzy and Crazys was a fixture of the place from the start to finish. The toilets were back there next to their bar. I remember standing next to a guy both of us slashing away when a gecko ran up his arm and in shock he pissed all over me. Not pleasant. When the complex was shut down most of the bar owners opened up briefly in the equally illegal patch of swamp on the opposite side of Suk that eventually became Chuwit Gardens. But that is another story. 1

Rompho Ray Posted April 21, 2019 Posted April 21, 2019 Sat in on harmonica with a band called Cannonball in one of the (non-girly) bars there, forget the name.
Toy Boy Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) The White House - that brings back memories. The place was full of 16-year old yaba heads, good fun for an hour or so. Are they planning Trump Plaza yet, lol? Edited April 22, 2019 by Toy Boy
bangsaenguy Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Remember it well. Had some great nights at Dollhouse with Darel. RIP

Saw them a coupe of times on Clinton Plaza, used to have them in the Blues Factory often and of course you were a regular on stage. 🙂
davethailand Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 On my second trip to Thailand in 2001 I stayed in BKK for a week and spent time every night with Daryl and Andy in the Dollhouse, Great laugh. Stayed round a mamasans gaff one night also. 😉 🙂
Tony Justice Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 I remember that place very well walking down a small alley then it all opened up to reveal doll house etc many a good time had in Clinton
davethailand Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 upstairs in the Dollhouse also led directly to the hotel next door also there was a sort of vip room. 🙂
Stillearly Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 I never went there , I dont think I had heard of it until it was demolished .... I used to enjoy Buckskin Joe Village ( originally called Tabaco Road and later Soi Zero ) http://www.bangkokeyes.com/maptoba.html 1
code_slayer_bkk Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Soi Zero .. what a blast I had in that place .. it was always my last stop on my way home .. at the time I lived on Soi Rumrudee right around the next corner and up the Soi from Soi Zero ... I met a set of twins there at the Red Rooster ... they were great in the sack ... Edited April 23, 2019 by code_slayer_bkk 1

thumper63 Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 I never even knew it was there. But My first visit wasn't till 2004
chollico Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 My first time to Pattaya was July 2001 and would stay a few nights in Bangkok before going to Pattaya. Clinton P was part of my initiation into Bangkok nightlife. Was disappointed when it closed, along with a few other areas I enjoyed in my first few visits to Bangkok.
tko Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 The dollhouse was one of my favorite bars while Clinton plaza was around. I was only visiting Thailand once a year then, so it disappeared fast for me.
Mrmango Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I must be showing my age, but my fav. was Washington square...
Casey Crazy Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I am glad some of you remember Suzie and Crazy Bar.
