Cactus Go-Go Bar In Soi Cowboy
Monday, August 16th, 2010You could say that Cactus Go-Go Bar in Soi Cowboy has real character. Well, the guy that runs Cactus Bar is definitely a real character! Cactus John owns and operates one of those bars that can only be described as very different from the norm. Native American John, serves up some awesome American home style cooking. Along with his wacky charisma and wicked sense of humour, ole Cactus John has attracted a cult following. If you do visit Cactus Bar in Soi Cowboy, please pass on kind regards from Dave The Rave. Cheers!
MORE ABOUT CACTUS BAR – In case you missed it, I recently talked about Cactus Bar in Thailand Tonight – 04/08/2010 (ninth paragraph down the article).

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010BANGKOK 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…)

World Cup – Argentina V Germany
Saturday, July 3rd, 2010FIFA WORLD CUP 03/07/2010 - The stage is set for an exciting quarter final. At 21:00 Thai time, it is Argentina V Germany, which is followed by Paraquay V Spain at 01:00 hours. Although it is an unpredictable World Cup this year, I think Spain and Argentina will win. However, as we have seen so far, anything could happen. Yesterday, Holland sent Brazil home in a surprise 2-1 result. Former World Cup winners France and Italy both crashed out very early, and pathetic England suffered their heaviest defeat in the history of the World Cup.
WEATHER WATCH – Heavy rainfall has hit Bangkok these past two nights, but the FIFA World Cup is definitely giving the bar trade in Thailand a much-needed boost.

Bangkok Curfew Lifted By Thai PM
Saturday, May 29th, 2010Thailand’s Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva announced this afternoon that the curfew has been lifted in Bangkok and 23 other provinces. Since May 14th, when clashes commenced between Thai security forces and ’red shirt’ anti-government protesters, over 80 people were killed and over 1,000 were injured. Thai PM Abhisit went on to say that the situation was under control and that there was no need to extend the curfew. Bangkok’s multitude of bars, pubs and nightclubs now have to try to entice customers back, which initially might not be an easy task. The good news is that Bangkok is back open late again. Let’s hope that from tonight we see a lot of people partying and perhaps blowing off some steam. It has been an anxious and frustrating period, but law and order is now restored in Bangkok. Party on!

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…)

Thursday, April 1st, 2010LATER 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…)

Wishing You A Happy New Year
Thursday, December 31st, 2009We 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 – Go-Go Guru Guide
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009- STREET BEAT – Late last night I spontaneously decided to check out the after dark scene in Bangkok. I went to Climax Club on Sukhumvit Soi 11 and it was rocking! This is where Thai girls like to party after dark and there is no cash ‘n’ carry for a Thai takeaway. Don’t be shy give it a try!
- STREET BEAT – Formerly known as Spice Club, the renamed Climax Club is located in Ambassador Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 11. It is now open late and gets going from 2am onwards. The Thai DJs stereotypically play techno and hip hop music. Well, that is if you can call that music!
- STREET BEAT – I also did a street beat patrol of the ‘pavement pubs’ that are located from Sukhumvit Soi 5 right up towards Asoke. These unlicensed mobile bars are turning over a fair trade. From my intensive research I discovered that a beer will cost you 80 baht at all the pavement pubs. Bloody hell, I’m feeling rough today!
- DAVES RAVES – I like to shop and eat at Foodland, but Sukhumvit Soi 5 transcends into ‘Little Africa’ after dark. It makes Caucations feel like you are Tarzan!
- PAVEMENT PUBS – The Bangkok Post published an article entitled ‘Bangkok’s sleazy street of shame’ – QUICK CLICK

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009NANA PLAZA – ENTER THE NEON JUNGLE
Recently, there is a noticeable increase in visitors to Nana Plaza and this past weekend saw some go-go bars packed to capacity with customers. One reason is due to a five-day national holiday in Japan. The three main Rainbow Bars, or ‘Jap Traps’ in Nana Plaza namely; Rainbow 1, Rainbow 2 and Rainbow 4 were brimming with Japanese customers. I know I have a laugh at their expense, but the Japanese are usually no trouble at all as paying punters. They never seem to complain, never get aggressive and rarely cause trouble. In terms of behaviour and generosity, the Japanese are ideal customers for the go-go bars and not surprisingly, very popular with Thai bar girls. (more…)

ROYAL CITY AVENUE – GET YOUR KICKS IN ROUTE 66
Royal City Avenue or ‘RCA’ is a popular little strip for Thais and foreigners alike to party the night away. If you agree to buy a bottle of whisky, you will receive free entrance to the clubs. If you don’t manage to finish the bottle that night, most clubs will reserve your bottle for another time. If you are not into doing the hip-hop bop, some clubs provide live music as an alternative. Live bands perform both Thai and Western songs. (more…)

Pattaya Bars Closing At 3:00am
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009PATTAYA STUNNED BY NIGHTLIFE CLAMPDOWNS
Thai authorities are continuing to order beer bars, go-go bars and nightclubs in Pattaya to close at 3:00am sharp. Nobody seems to know why this nightlife crackdown has been imposed and how long it will last. During a critical time for Pattaya’s nightlife scene, this harsh decision is a severe blow. What on earth the Thai authorities think they will achieve is totally beyond disgruntled bar and nightclub owners. Meanwhile, late night revellers are left in a state of shock and bemusement. It’s remarkable to think that Bangkok currently offers better late night options than Pattaya. The critical point is that Bangkok does not need to rely upon late night party-goers, but for Pattaya it is absolutely essential. The good news is that most of these clampdowns don’t last very long.
