BANGKOK BOUNCES BACK
Despite what some people may say about Thailand, there is an increase in tourist traffic. Both the roads and the pavements in Bangkok now have busier traffic. The number of foreign arrivals into Bangkok is on the rise. (more…)

SOI COWBOY – LITTLE LAS VEGAS
I have visited Soi Cowboy several times in recent weeks. Despite the hype from some people, it was not that busy in the majority of go-go bars. In fact, Marc who is the manager of Dollhouse told me last night, bar trade in Soi Cowboy slowed down a lot these past few weeks. As I have said before, it is the same everywhere with very few exceptions. (more…)

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FARANGS GONE?
Just lately, the Thais are asking us why there are so few foreigners visiting Thailand this month. With confused expressions they genuinely ask, ‘Where farang go, why not come Thailand?’ With a wry smile we reply, ‘Why do you think they are not coming?’ It is as though the mini civil war in Bangkok never happened. Hey, perhaps they think it was a Hollywood movie! (more…)

Thailand Tonight is running late and will be online tomorrow 17/06/2010 at around 18:00 Thai time. It has been a hectic week for Dave The Rave with added pressure from the aftermath of the violence in Bangkok. Currently, it is a testing time for many of us here in Thailand.
GO-GO GURU GUIDE – I have started to write my Go-Go Guru Guide, which will cover various aspects of Thailand nightlife. I will guide you through the maze of Thailand’s bar culture. Many people ask me questions and the Go-Go Guru Guide will answer those questions and conundrums for you.

DOUBLE TROUBLE – BUDDHA DRY DAY PLUS THE CURFEW
BANGKOK UPDATE – Tonight is a Buddha Day and therefore, supposedly a dry day. Also, with the curfew still enforced tonight at midnight until 4:00am, there is no doubt that some bars will not open. Other bars will open, but it is stated as a strict ‘NO ALCOHOL’ policy. However, there’s always some bars that serve alcohol. It might be served in plastic cups, or out of the coffee pot. Ask around and you will probably get lucky. (more…)

SOI COWBOY – LITTLE LAS VEGAS
Out of the three main go-go bar areas in Bangkok, Soi Cowboy remains the busiest overall. This will probably become more evident, as the rainy season approaches. The main reason is simple; the clientele in Nana Plaza and Patpong consists of an increasing number of tourists and infrequent visitors. Therefore, the number of foreign visitors drops in the rainy season, as you well know. In addition to a general decline in foreign visitors, Patpong has recently suffered further from the anti-government violence in Silom. Furthermore, Patpong and Nana Plaza have more restrictions on ‘showing’ than in Soi Cowboy. It is unfortunate for Patpong, but with Soi Cowboy being relatively unaffected by the anti-government protests, Cowboy will inevitably benefit from this situation. Soi Cowboy has become popular with resident expats for several reasons, which includes the numerous Happy Hours on offer. (more…)

CELEBRATE CINCO DE MAYO AT SUNRISE TACOS IN BANGKOK
Break out the maracas and celebrate! It’s Cinco De Mayo again, when people around the world mark the Mexican Army’s unlikely defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5th, 1862. But, don’t worry you don’t have to be a historian, or a Mexican to enjoy it! (more…)

PATPONG NIGHTSEEING TOUR – 26/04/2010
Despite the recent bomb blasts at Sala Daeng Skytrain Station, I decided a visit to Silom was long overdue. I spontaneously felt I needed to go and report what was happening in Patpong. (more…)

BANGKOK SONGKRAN, APRIL 13-15, 2010
Down in Kao San Road, Patpong, Soi Nana and Soi Cowboy, the water wars were wet ‘n’ wild under the searing sun. Songkran is a lot of fun for those who enjoy getting soaked, but it is very frustrating for those of us who do not want to participate. When you live in Bangkok, or Pattaya there is no escaping it. Why can’t they just leave the dry people alone? During the water wars, even passing motorcyclists have bucket loads of water hurled at them. Combined with too much booze, it’s no wonder there is so much carnage on the roads during Songkran. I think there should be designated areas and times for the water wars – this would allow the normal people to go about their daily business. However, Thailand being Thailand, it probably will not ever happen. (more…)

NANA PLAZA – WELCOME TO THE NEON JUNGLE
RAINBOW 4 GO-GO BAR, NANA PLAZA, BANGKOK
RAINBOW ROUNDUP – Continuing on our journey into the neon jungle, we decided to check out a couple of the Rainbow Bars. Rainbow 1 was as lively as ever and the line-up remains for the best part very impressive. Most of the go-go girls were sporting mono bikinis, but I spotted a few who were in their birthday suits. Yes indeed, things have finally changed in Nana Plaza. The gang decided to visit Rainbow 2, which is located next to Obsession Bar in the far right corner. Rainbow 2 was never a favourite of mine, because I felt it never created the right atmosphere for Westerners. The amount of open space is partly to blame, but the biggest reason is that it has remained a Jap Trap for many years. However, things have changed and Rainbow 2 has become more farang friendly. The stage was packed with go-go girls and the majority were facially and physically attractive. These Rainbow bar girls know they are cute and sexy, I have never seen mirrors get so much attention!

LATER CLOSING TIMES FOR SOME BANGKOK NIGHTCLUBS
Despite the Thai capital being quieter due to the ongoing political problems, it is still business as usual in Bangkok’s bars, pubs and clubs. In fact, some bars and clubs have recently been granted later closing times. This is good news for the nocturnal revellers who want to party on until the wee hours. (more…)

NANA PLAZA – WELCOME TO THE NEON JUNGLE
This week I write about a nightseeing tour of Nana Plaza. I bumped into a friend who was walking into Nana Plaza and so, we decided to visit Mercury Go-Go Bar. It is located on the middle level in Nana Plaza and Mercury is the first go-go bar on the right-hand side at the top of the escalator. Previously it was tucked away in the corner next to Rainbow 3 near the stairs leading up to the top level. Although only a small bar, Mercury does create an atmosphere when it gets going. Some of the go-go girls are pretty with slender shapes. Upon the stage I spotted two very sexy babes; you should take a look at number 30 and number 31. Same as this go-go bars namesake, these two go-go girls are HOT. (more…)

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

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…)
