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…)

AFTER DARK ASIA MAGAZINE VOLUME 14

AFTER DARK ASIA VOLUME 14 IS ON SALE NOW!

 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.

I have included a video in the Nana Plaza Review Page

I have began to update the Soi Cowboy Review Page

HOLLYWOOD INN HOTEL NANA PLAZA BANGKOK

PAVEMENT PUB PATROL IN BANGKOK’S CONCRETE JUNGLE

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…)

SOI COWBOY - FULL OF FUN FACTOR

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…)

SOI COWBOY - A WALK ON THE WILD WEST SIDE

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…)

NANA PLAZA - WELCOME TO THE NEON JUNGLE

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.

DATE MATE - GOING TO THE MOVIES THAI STYLE

I am your mate with ideas for your date!  Just for a change, instead of dragging your Thai girlfriend around the bars at night, go to the movies instead.  Thailand has some fantastic cinema complexes and this especially applies to the luxurious shopping malls in Bangkok. (more…)

WISHING YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM BANGKOK

Seasons greetings!  Once again Christmas is just around the corner and so, yet another year has almost ended.  I don’t know about you, but 2009 has raced by for me.  This leads me to think, where has the year gone?  I must be having a mini middle-age crisis!  Nonetheless, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas.  Happy Holidays!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN LAST ORDERS PLEASE

Compared to Thailand the nightlife scene in Farangland is not as exciting, or enjoyable by light years.  But, in Farangland you at least know what time the bars, pubs and clubs will close.  (more…)
