This week I have some exciting nightlife news for you. The disco formerly known as Angels inside Nana Hotel in Soi Nana, has reopened with the new name Nana Liquid. The new owner has certainly pumped loads of cash into the project. (more…)
This week’s Thailand Tonight comprises of something completely different. I felt that I had to update some of the Pages on the right-hand Side Bar, because they have not been updated for some time. Therefore, this week I have updated the Nana Plaza Reviews Page. In addition, I have partly, (but not completely) updated the Soi Cowboy Reviews Page.
Nowadays, taking a late night stroll down lower Sukhumvit Road is very different to what it used to be years ago. A continuous row of makeshift mobile bars set up shop after midnight along lower Sukhumvit, right on the roadside. The pavement pubs stretch from Sukhumvit Soi 3/1, right along towards Sukhumvit Soi 19. Some of the pavement pubs sell booze from around midnight until cockcrow. Most of the pavement pubs charge 80 baht for a standard drink, which is reasonable enough. However, this concrete jungle is a dodgy place, with various creatures of the night on the prowl. (more…)
Today I continue with my Soi Cowboy sojourn. I said I was going to visit some different bars to my regular haunts and that is what I did. This is the final part in this particular Thailand nightlife trilogy… (more…)
I don’t know about you, but every time I look at BBC World News, it is full of doom and gloom. I seriously wonder what is happening to this world. Therefore, at some stage, you just have to escape the insanity by switching off the media machine. How do we do this? The answer is simple, you get your glad rags on and hit the Thailand nightlife… (more…)
Once again, I thought it was time to visit Soi Cowboy and so, I took a motorbike taxi to ‘Little Las Vegas’ as I call it. The neon signs glare at you with a kaleidoscope of colours, and you immediately become immersed into the atmosphere. Nowadays, Soi Cowboy is very different from the dark, dingy and uninspiring place that I visited over a decade ago. Perhaps it could now be known as, ‘Disneyworld for the big boys and girls.’ (more…)
A variety of stealth sleuth operations has discovered shocking evidence that there is sex-on-sale in the tourist resort of Pattaya. Several police divisions have revealed that a very serious crackdown will begin next month to catch foreign business people who are financial backers of gay bars, beer bars and go-go bars, where there is sex-on-sale in Pattaya.
Police investigations will determine who pays the bills and gets the profits. If the person is a foreigner, then their visa will be revoked and they will be expelled from Thailand. If it is a Thai, they will be arrested if sex is for sale. There is supposedly much concern about organized crime in the nightlife venues, said one official.
One Police Chief commented, ‘Where did the money come from? Who is behind it? Where does the money go?’
‘I advise anyone who has invested in a bar that might be suspected of illegal acts to clear up the problem and make sure they are not associated with any business that is engaged in illegal activities. The Thai police are taking this very seriously. Sure, in the past we have heard rumours of crackdowns, but I don’t think we have ever seen a crackdown like the one that is about to happen,’ said Drew Noyes, Managing Director of the Pattaya Times.
DAVES RAVES - You may have noticed that the Pattaya Times has covered this story, whereas the BIG media channels and newspapers have not covered the story at all. It will be interesting to see what happens in Pattaya next month.
NOTE THE QUOTE - THAILAND CRACKDOWNS
‘Probably what the Thailand needs more than anything is a crackdown on crackdowns.’ (Anon).

PATPONG REVIVAL - There appears to be something of a revival in Patpong. There are three go-go bars in particular that are making an effort to attract people back to Patpong. (more…)
NANA PLAZA UPDATE - The temporary crackdown on ’showing’ in Nana Plaza has been lifted on January 20th. At least 10 go-go bars in Nana Plaza have reverted back to mono bikinis. Furthermore, even a few go-go bars have gone from swim suits to birthday suits. Hooray!
Nana Plaza has gone through several fazes of change over the past decade, or so. Even today, the changes in Nana Plaza continue. Currently, there is an issue regarding ’showing’ in the go-go bars that has not been resolved. The majority of go-go bars are left in limbo and are waiting on a decision from the mysterious MIB (Men In Brown). Last night the go-go girls in the majority of bars were dancing in bikinis. However, the permission to ’show’ again from the MIB will be granted very soon. Nobody seems to know the actual reason for this, except that it is an MIB (Men In Brown) issue of some kind. If you think ‘teatime’ and power play, you are most probably heading in the right direction. It is all rather confusing, but it is part of the ‘Amazing Thailand’ landscape, where there is always something happening. (more…)
We all keep reading about the doom and gloom in Farangland and there is just no escaping it. Perhaps circumstances make it very difficult for you to experience the Thai go-go bars in Bangkok and Pattaya. Well don’t despair, because if you can’t come to see the sexy Thai go-go girls, then I will bring them to you. Here are hot and sexy go-go dancers from Kitten Club in Pattaya. These Thai go-go girls really dance. Enjoy!

We all look forward to 2010 with great optimism, or do we? Some people may speculate that 2010 will be a year of global economic recovery. I would like to think that way, but I feel it will be a year of survival rather than recovery. (more…)
DAVES RAVES - This Christmas Thailand did not have the tourist troops marching in as expected. None of the beach resorts in Thailand were particularly busy for the time of year. Hopefully New Year’s Eve will be busier.
