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…)

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…)

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…)

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…)

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. (more…)

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. (more…)

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! (more…)

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. (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…)
