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…)

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.

NANA PLAZA - ENTER THE NEON JUNGLE

Builders have been working around the clock to get the refurbishment finished in Spankys.  A brand new section of sofa seats not only makes it more comfortable, but it has increased the seating capacity.  It is a fact that Spankys is about 100% more popular now than when the Iranian owned it.

SPICE CLUB REACHES A CLIMAX

The popular nightspot Spice Club has been renamed Climax.  Word is that taxi drivers were taking Spice customers to Spicy instead.  I think it was wise to change the name of the club in this case.  What with Spice, Spicy and Bossy, it was getting confusing for all concerned.  To celebrate the rebirth there is a Climax Party this Tuesday, September 29th.  There will be live music, international DJs, coyote showgirls and your first drink is free.  Spice it up all you want, but we would sooner have a climax!

FRIDAY FEEDING FRENZY!

It is always important to stoke up your engine, before a bout of ‘Friday Night Fever’ in Thailand.  A variety of bars and pubs in Bangkok, offer a complimentary buffet to get Friday night off to a good start.  This week I feature Soi 8 Pub on the left-hand side, as you enter Sukhumvit Soi 8.  In my opinion, Soi 8 Pub is a serious contender for best pub in Bangkok.  Soi 8 Pub has a variety of food available, which by far exceeds the pub grub found elsewhere.  Some of the dishes make it an excellent ‘meal deal’ by any standards.

Bangkok Go-Go Bars Update

Saturday, May 30th, 2009

NANA PLAZA GO-GO BARS BANGKOK

The go-go bars in Nana Plaza are currently closing at 1:00am on a nightly basis. Thai authorities say that this period of early closing will last one to two weeks. Recently, Patpong went through the same thing. No particular reason was given, except for typical Thai politics. I want to inform you, so that you can plan your nights accordingly. Meanwhile, nearby unlicensed ‘pavement pubs’ were still serving booze after 2:00am. No further comments! 

SINGING THE LOW SEASON BLUES

Bangkok’s low season blues is being made worse by frequent heavy rainfall. This year a lot of bar owners are singing the low season blues. Whenever the rain comes, a considerable amount of bar girls and foreigners, decide to stay in the confines of their rooms. With this low season already emerging as a harsh one, the constant rainfall just makes the situation worse. Perhaps it might be best to have all the problems at the same time and then, afterwards we can all enjoy ourselves again. 

BREW REVIEW - A NEW BEER ARRIVES IN BANGKOK’S BARS

To end on a brighter note, a new beer has arrived in Thailand this month. Tiger Crystal Light Beer is now available in some bars across Bangkok. Initially, Tiger Light is available in Angelwitch Go-Go Bar, among other bars in Nana Plaza. I did have a bottle of Tiger Light in After Skool Bar in Soi Cowboy the other night, but it is not widely available just yet. Given a bit of time, I hope you will see Tiger Light on sale in most of Bangkok’s bars. Plans are in place to make Tiger Light Beer available in Pattaya’s bars as we speak. Cheers and more beers!
