Club Insomnia located on Walking Street in Pattaya has definitely built up a reputation of being one of Thailand’s most popular dance clubs. Club Insomnia hosts a ‘Dance Anthem Party’ on Saturday, February 27th. ’Dance Anthems’ returns to Club Insomnia for a night of tunes that have graced the dance floors of many a nightclub for the past 2 decades. Along with the vocal skills of Miss Ushera, Marco Van De Burn promises that this party night will be one to remember. Calling all party people, note that it is FREE ENTRY to this top dance club event.
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…)
A variety of stealth sleuth operations has discovered shocking evidence that there is sex-on-sale in the tourist resort of Pattaya. Several police divisions have revealed that a very serious crackdown will begin next month to catch foreign business people who are financial backers of gay bars, beer bars and go-go bars, where there is sex-on-sale in Pattaya.
Police investigations will determine who pays the bills and gets the profits. If the person is a foreigner, then their visa will be revoked and they will be expelled from Thailand. If it is a Thai, they will be arrested if sex is for sale. There is supposedly much concern about organized crime in the nightlife venues, said one official.
One Police Chief commented, ‘Where did the money come from? Who is behind it? Where does the money go?’
‘I advise anyone who has invested in a bar that might be suspected of illegal acts to clear up the problem and make sure they are not associated with any business that is engaged in illegal activities. The Thai police are taking this very seriously. Sure, in the past we have heard rumours of crackdowns, but I don’t think we have ever seen a crackdown like the one that is about to happen,’ said Drew Noyes, Managing Director of the Pattaya Times.
DAVES RAVES - You may have noticed that the Pattaya Times has covered this story, whereas the BIG media channels and newspapers have not covered the story at all. It will be interesting to see what happens in Pattaya next month.
NOTE THE QUOTE - THAILAND CRACKDOWNS
‘Probably what the Thailand needs more than anything is a crackdown on crackdowns.’ (Anon).

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…)
We all keep reading about the doom and gloom in Farangland and there is just no escaping it. Perhaps circumstances make it very difficult for you to experience the Thai go-go bars in Bangkok and Pattaya. Well don’t despair, because if you can’t come to see the sexy Thai go-go girls, then I will bring them to you. Here are hot and sexy go-go dancers from Kitten Club in Pattaya. These Thai go-go girls really dance. Enjoy!
AFTER DARK ASIA COVER GIRLS - SA (SPANKYS) & VUN (ANGELWITCH)
AFTER DARK ASIA - The latest edition of After Dark Asia Volume 13 is out now. After Dark now features 52 pages and costs 195 baht. This special Bangkok edition features ‘The Girls Of Nana Plaza’ which makes a refreshing change. Combined with more ’showing’ emerging in Nana Plaza, the timing is perfect. At least 10 go-go bars in Nana Plaza have implemented either mono bikinis, or birthday suits tailored by Mother Nature. Rainbow 4 and Hollywood Carousel have abandoned all shyness and gone the Full Monty!
WHERE CAN I BUY A COPY? After Dark Asia Magazine is available in numerous go-go bars and book shops in Pattaya. Here in Bangkok the following go-go bars have them in stock - Angelwitch, Hollywood Carousel, Mandarin, Pretty Lady and Spankys. Copies are also available from the Big Mango Bar (Soi Nana), Nana Hotel Book Shop and the small pharmacy next to Nana Petrol Station.

We 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…)
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
DAVES RAVES - This Christmas Thailand did not have the tourist troops marching in as expected. None of the beach resorts in Thailand were particularly busy for the time of year. Hopefully New Year’s Eve will be busier.
BIRTHDAY BOY - My website celebrates its 3rd Anniversary. Thanks for your loyal support over the years, it is always appreciated. Cheers!(more…)

WEATHER WATCH - Currently Bangkok is cool and dry. The cool season has arrived and it is the ideal time to visit in terms of the climate.
DAVES RAVES - Thailand’s cool guys! Well, it is ‘cool’ in more ways than one, but it is a relief that the temperature has dropped.
DAVES RAVES - The tourist troops are marching into Bangkok and the increasing number of foreigners is visible on the streets.
Tonight the Halloween Weekend commences in Angelwitch Go-Go Bars in Nana Plaza, Bangkok and Soi 15 Walking Street, Pattaya. Both Angelwitch Go-Go Bars are decorated and there will be special shows for Halloween on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. It promises to be a lot of scary fun.
Halloween weekend will be a scream!
Wishing you all a Happy Halloween. Hope you have a great weekend. Cheers!
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…)
At the Sukhumvit Soi 23 end of Soi Cowboy, the @ Corner Bar located directly opposite The Old Dutch Restaurant run drink specials that change daily. One example is Beer Lao @ 70 Baht, which I thought some of you might want to check out. (more…)
My first impression of Bangkok was one of absolute bewilderment. Taking in this city of contrasts was proving to be very challenging. My initial reaction was to feel numbed from head to foot from culture shock. Bangkok - one city, one million confusions. My senses were paralyzed from the very first moment I met Bangkok face to face; the tremendous noise, dreadful air pollution, appalling traffic, horrendous heat and total chaos. Bangkok was certainly living up to its reputation of having the world’s worst traffic congestion and lowest oxygen count. If Bangkok was anything to go by, Thailand and I had certainly not fallen in love at first sight. (more…)
