Bada Bing Patpong During Far Happier Times
Having been able to obtain their SHA approvals, some of Patpong’s nightlife venues have reopened this week.
These include the Legendary Bada Bing (once voted one of the top 5 Gogo Bars in Bangkok), The Black Pagoda and XXX Lounge (formerly Club Electric Blue), which has been open for a couple of weeks now. Also, open are BarBar Fetish Club, Patpong Museum and the King’s Corner Bar.

The New Normal.
Although these bars have got their SHA approvals and been able to open, the new normal is very different from the pre-covid days. The lights are on, the music is very soft, there is no dancing permitted, the stages are empty or curtained off. So sadly, it’s a bit like being in a GoGo bar at closing time.
With beers prices at a lot of venues still high, around 180 baht in some places; is this a tempting prospect? I leave you to draw your own conclusions. 😉
Goodbye To Old Friends…
On a slightly sadder note, some well know and well-loved Patpong venues have closed permanently. These include the Madrid Bar on Patpong 1 and Le Bouchon French Restaurant on Patpong 2.

Madrid Bars Interior – Been Going Since 1969
The legendary, nostalgic Madrid Bar dates back to 1969, when it catered mostly to US soldiers fighting in the Vietnam War and later gaining a reputation for hosting pilots from the CIA’s Air America and even, as a place where covert operations were planned. Oh yes, it’s all incredibly true!
Bangkok living legend and acclaimed author Dean Barrett, recalls drinking with Tony Poe at the Madrid Bar. Tony Poe was a CIA officer famed to be who the character of Colonel Kurtz was based on in the movie Apocalypse Now.
Such a shame to see all that rich history disappear. ?Le Bouchon was a similar legend having been on Patpong 2 for over 25 years, seving excellent French cuisine.

Le Bouchon With Its Legendary Owner Serg
Serge the owner posted this message on his Facebook page…
“Dear Customers, Friends and Associates,
Today, and with great sadness, I have to inform you that, due to the current adverse circumstances, your favorite restaurant Le Bouchon in Patpong, will remain closed. I wish to take this opportunity, together with my entire staff, to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind patronage and unwavering support over the past twenty-five years. I have enjoyed and appreciated every minute of it. On a more positive note, be assured that I am actively in search of a new location and I will not fail to communicate with you in due time. We shall meet again in the near future. In the meantime, stay healthy.” Serge
The list of venues that have closed permanently on Patpong is growing with Superstar, the oldest go-go bar in Thailand and Kiss Go-Go Bar added to the list.
More updates soon, cheers!

Darwinism For Dummies
The gogo bar business in Bangkok and Pattaya is certainly not rocket science, but the poor performing pleasure palaces might make you believe otherwise. Without sounding too simplistic in my analysis, the strong remain strong and the weak remain weak. To be blatantly blunt, this is Darwinism for dummies!
You cannot just say the gogo bars are DEAD because some venues remain very popular. Certain factors will determine the survival of Thailand’s pleasure palaces. Recently, I have been reflecting upon the situation in the gogo bars…
Amid the animal kingdom, it is survival of the fittest, as Charles Darwin so aptly outlined in his theory of evolution. In the modern world of the neon jungle, the same theory applies. If you are not strong, healthy and equipped with the spirit of a warrior, you will be eaten alive in the neon jungle.
The gogo bar industry has become considerably more mercenary nowadays and to a large degree, it is a dog-eat-dog environment. Part of the mercenary attitudes of the bargirls is due to fighting for survival, but in other cases, it boils down to pure greed.
However, for various reasons the gogo bar business faces an uphill battle. Higher running costs lead to higher prices, pressure leads to mercenary attitudes, which then leads to less profit. This ‘business chemistry’ causes a chain reaction and we are certainly seeing more empty seats in numerous gogo bars these days. The golden era of gogo bars is long gone but a few pleasure palaces still do a roaring trade.

The two most popular gogo bars in Pattaya are Sapphire Club and Pin-Up GoGo Bar. These two are the elite gogo bars of Pattaya and definitely in a different league to most of their competitors. One major factor I have noticed is a big drop in attractive gogo dancers, especially those in their birthday suits. It is just too easy to meet Fat Pat or Plain Jane!
Modern technology has played a major part in making recruitment very challenging because so many attractive Thai women are available online. Hot Thai girls are available on various platforms such as escort agencies, dating websites and social media. Thailand has among the most Facebook profiles (per population) in the world.
Daves Raves – When I ran gogo bars in Nana Plaza Bangkok, I always stood by ‘quality’ rather than ‘quantity’ and that would be my advice to gogo bar bosses. Just like Zen Minimalism less is indeed more!
Super Saver — Pandoras GoGo Bar located in Soi LK Metro has a great bang-for-baht Happy Hour. Bottled Beers are just 55 baht from 7:30 pm until 9:00 pm. The selection consists of nicely chilled bottles of Chang, Leo, Singha and Tiger. Thailand is not expensive if you know where to go. Do not listen to the killjoys, listen to the GoGo Guru!

Happy Holidays! Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Many thanks for visiting this year and a BIG thank you to the guys who followed me since 2006 when I launched this website. 2020 will be the 14th year of this website and I am very proud of this achievement. Cheers!

Nestled amid the centre of the action in Soi Cowboy, you will find Lighthouse GoGo Bar. This pleasure palace recently acquired a bunch of gogo dancers to replenish their lineup and give them a boost.
Lighthouse is renowned for its Daily Drinks Deals which features one selected drink that rotates every night. In addition, on Wednesdays, all drinks are just 100 baht. But, of course, by ‘all drinks’ this does not include lady drinks or cocktails.
Daves Raves – I think it’s great to see a Bangkok gogo bar making the effort to take care of its customers with Daily Drinks Deals. If you find yourself amid stormy seas head for the Lighthouse!

Butterflies Go-Go Bar
This particular ‘pleasure palace’ is said to be one of the most improved go-go bars in all of Thailand. Some guys including Stickboy Bangkok and Stickman Bangkok say it is the most improved gogo bar in Bangkok and I tend to agree with them.
Firstly, the place is filled with bubbly babes, filling two gogo stages and a jacuzzi bubble bath. Secondly, it underwent a thorough refurbishment, with a section of sofa seats for more intimate interaction.
For the newcomers, Butterflies Go-Go Bar is located on the Top Floor of Nana Plaza opposite Billboard Go-Go Bar.
Daves Raves – Worth a visit for the fun ‘n’ frolics alone!
