WORLD WELTERWEIGHT BOXING TITLE FIGHT 02/05/2010
Floyd Mayweather takes on Shane Mosley for the World Welterweight Title. It will be an early
start for fight fans across Thailand, because the fight card starts at 8:00am on Sunday morning. However, the main event will not start until some time after 10:00am. This is one of the most anticipated fights on the boxing calendar and some boxing pundits expect it to be one of the most exciting fights of the year. As per usual, Mayweather has been shooting his mouth off, but does Mosley have the boxing skills and firepower to silence Mayweather? The stage is set for a fantastic fight. Various pubs across Thailand will show this World Welterweight Title Bout including the Robin Hood Pub on Sukhumvit Soi 33/1, Chequers Sports Pub on Soi Nana, Bully’s Pub next to the JW Marriott Hotel and the Pig & Whistle Pub in Pattaya. It will soon be time to line up the Bloody Mary’s and let’s get ready to rumble!
Chequers Sports Pub on Soi Nana in Bangkok offer a ‘Boxing Breakfast’ which packs a punch! The details of this super saver are listed below…

WISHING YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM BANGKOK
Seasons greetings! Once again Christmas is just around the corner and so, yet another year has almost ended. I don’t know about you, but 2009 has raced by for me.

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 NIGHT UPDATE – BUDDHIST LENT
Asanha Bucha Day (July 17th) is deemed as a very important Buddhist holiday right across Thailand. In fact, some Thais tell me it is the most important Buddha Day. Today, Friday, July 18th it is Buddhist lent. All devout Buddhists should “tham boon” (make merit) at their local “wat” (temple). Devout Buddhists should also pray and give offerings to monks, while abstaining from consuming alcohol. I wish you good luck. Chok dee kap!
BANGKOK BARS – Some bars will be closed tonight, but others are serving as normal. Nana Plaza and the surrounding area is closed. For example, Bully’s Pub is open and they are serving booze. Woodstock Bar in Tonglor are also open. Therefore, I suggest that you try Soi Cowboy, Patpong and Bangkok pubs.
PATTAYA BARS – The beer bars and go-go bars across Pattaya will try to open tonight. However, I am not sure how many will be allowed to open. Have a look around, because some bars will definitely be serving alcohol. Cheers!

*BUDDHA DAY UPDATE – FRIDAY, JULY 18th*
PATTAYA – The bars in Pattaya will be closed on Thursday, July 17th. However, the good news is that the Pattaya bars will be open on Friday, July 18th. This year everybody I speak to is in a state of confusion. It’s Friday night in and so far few go-go bars are likely to open. Last night some locally connected go-go bars in Soi Diamond were open. We presume those same go-go bars will be open again tonight. Head down to Super Girls, Super Baby and possibly Diamond Go-Go Bar in Soi Diamond. No doubt a few beer bars will be discretely serving alcohol, but most go-go bars are likely to be closed tonight.
BANGKOK – Most of the bars in the Sukhumvit area of Bangkok will be closed on July 17th and July 18th. Nana Plaza and bars around that area are definitely closed both Thursday and Friday. However, from the information I have received Patpong should be open this Friday night. Talk about an open and shut case!
FRIDAY NIGHT – A few pubs in Bangkok and Pattaya are open tonight. I know for a fact that Bully’s Pub are serving right now as normal. Cheers!

Some people have talked about Bangkok’s nightlife scene being in decline. But, do these people realise the vast scope of Bangkok’s nightlife? Many of us humans often tend to be creatures of habit. Some of us tend to habitually frequent the same venues and rarely wander away from our favourite places. Quite often, the only time I see my resident farang friends doing a whistle-stop tour of the Bangkok bar scene, is when their friends visit them. There are thousands of nightlife venues in Bangkok. The variety of nightlife includes multitudes of beer bars, go-go bars, discos, theme pubs, karaoke bars, coyote bars, live music venues, gentlemen’s clubs and highly sophisticated nightclubs. The likes of Bed Supperclub, The Tunnel and Q Bar are among the very best in South East Asia. There is plenty of action packed nightlife in the City Of Angels, but sometimes you just have to be more adventurous. It comes as little surprise that the most popular venues remain busy all year round. Perhaps consider going to an area that you rarely go to, or you have never seen before. Like the old saying goes, “Variety is the spice of life.” When I joined the recent Stephen Hendry Roadshow in Bangkok, we probably visited more pubs in one week than many people do in a year. Venture out there and party! (more…)

STEPHEN HENDRY MAKES AN IMPACT IN THAILAND
It is certainly not every day that a famous sports celebrity rolls into town. When did you last meet a living legend from the world of sport? This week it is an honour for a selection of pubs in Thailand to host Stephen Hendry. For some people who are not familiar with snooker, Stephen Hendry is deemed by many people, as the most successful player in the history of the game. In any sport, it is a fantastic achievement to become World Champion. However, Stephen has achieved this feat a record breaking seven times, which is truly remarkable. I am sure most of you know that snooker is an extremely skilful and highly competitive game. But, the “Flying Scotsman” made it look all so easy. For eight consecutive years, Stephen Hendry dominated snooker by remaining top of the world rankings. Stephen started playing snooker at the tender age of 12. At 16 years old, he became the youngest ever professional snooker player. Stephen then went on to become the youngest World Snooker Champion at the age of 21. It is fair to say that a very special sports celebrity has arrived in Thailand… (more…)

Due to today being a Buddhist Holiday some bars will be open and some will be closed. It is something of an open and shut case! Late last night I found out that most of the bars and nightspots in Bangkok and Pattaya will be closed tonight (Monday, May 19th). Furthermore, as already predicted, the Thai authorities have ordered beer bars, go-go bars, discos and nightclubs to close out of “respect” for Visakha Bucha, which is one of the most revered Buddhist Holidays.
However, there is some good news for those on a booze cruise. For those of you in Bangkok who won’t be rushing off to a nearby temple, there are at least two pubs open in Bangkok tonight. I am pleased to announce that the Stephen Hendry Roadshow will go ahead tonight as planned. Former World Snooker Champion Stephen Hendry will make appearances in Robin Hood Pub (Sukhumvit, Soi 33/1) at 18:00 and then in Bully’s Pub (next to the JW Marriott Hotel) at 20:00. I will be there to meet a living legend of the baize. Tonight John Smith’s Bitter and Strongbow Draught Cider will be available at a special discount price in Robin Hood and Bully’s Pub. Cheers!

Hello Guys, I have been thinking about you recently. Hey, now don’t get worried, because I’m not getting gay here! I appreciate the large audience that this website has created over the past 18 months. Therefore, I want to keep you updated more regularly. Recently, I have been wondering about how I could update the website more often. You may have noticed that I have created several new pages. At first, I was so proud to see those new sections up online for the entire world to see. I thought, “Great stuff!” Then I thought about the time and effort involved to update them all. Oops! I hadn’t taken that into consideration. For example, if you look at the alphabetical listings, you will see that some are more updated than others are. Please excuse me for that, but there are only so many hours in a day! The good thing is that I can keep posting updates and those A-Z listings will eventually fill up with information. It just takes time that’s all. Last month this website received the most hits in over a year. Thanks for all your support; this is what makes it all worthwhile. Cheers!
BUDDHIST HOLIDAY — MONDAY, MAY 19th
You need to be aware that this Monday, May 19th is a Buddhist Holiday. Wan Visakha Bucha is one of the most important Buddha Days on the Thai calendar. From the information I have gathered, you will probably find that most nightlife areas across Thailand are likely to be closed on May 19th out of respect. But, if you ask around you might get lucky. Remember that restaurants and some pubs will still be open. In conclusion, remember that the vast majority of go-go bars, beer bars and nightclubs will be closed. If anything chances closer to May 19th I will post another update.
STEPHEN HENDRY ROADSHOW
From this Monday, May 19th until May 23rd seven-time World Snooker Champion Stephen Hendry will arrive as a guest of John Smith’s Bitter and Strongbow Draught Cider. Stephen who comes from Edinburgh in Scotland likes Thailand and he has accumulated many Thai fans. At one time, Stephen Hendry was top of the world rankings for a record eight consecutive years. Stephen was also the youngest ever World Snooker Champion at the age of 21. Stephen will be making a series of one-hour appearances at pubs in Bangkok, Pattaya and Koh Samui. Stephen will make himself available for a questions and answers session, as well as some exhibition frames. John Smith’s Extra Smooth Bitter and Strongbow Cider will be available for a special discount price at each venue.
WISHING STEPHEN HENDRY A WARM WELCOME
In association with Brian Sharp from Scottish & Newcastle Brewery and Rob Murray from Fluid Asia Pacific, Dave The Rave wishes Stephen Hendry a warm welcome to Thailand.

CELEBRATING ST. PATRICK’S DAY IN BANGKOK (PART TWO)
In conclusion, Bully’s Pub has a relaxing atmosphere that appeals to many different types of people. Bully’s attracts singles, couples and even families. It is an ideal place to meet friends, unwind after a long day, and/or enjoy live sports on a large TV screen. Bully’s Pub is a bit more upmarket than other pubs in the area. The prices tend to be higher and you will pay government tax on all food and beverage items. Just to let you know where you stand. It was time to leave the cosy comfort of Bully’s Pub…

CELEBRATING ST. PATRICK’S DAY IN BANGKOK (PART ONE)
Today is a special Monday, because it is St. Patrick’s Day. For the uninitiated, St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland. St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide, but it is a particularly HUGE celebration in America… As I walked inside, I surveyed the scene and within a few seconds, I spotted my friend Rob. We had arranged to meet at Bully’s Pub, which is located next to the JW Marriott Hotel on Sukhumvit Road. There was a large table available, so we sat down and soaked up the relaxing atmosphere. Previously, this place was nothing more than a mere shell, but the new owner ET has done a terrific job of improving it. We can forget those early days, because Bully’s Pub is now established as one of the most popular pubs in Bangkok. And, I was about to find out why. Although it was only 6:00pm, already a crowd was starting to build. Bully’s Pub draws large crowds and even though it is a large pub, it fills up at peak trading hours. (more…)

THE SMOKING BAN DEBATE CONTINUES
I have to say that I am a bit surprised at how much of a debate the smoking ban has become. This seems to be a very important issue to some Westerners, while other people feel there are bigger problems to deal with. Down in Soi Cowboy, the smoking ban has been enforced in every bar. Smokers can be seen having a cigarette outside the bars in Soi Cowboy. Some smokers are openly displaying their disdain for the new law. Meanwhile, non-smokers are arguing that it is high time that smoking is banned in all bars right across Thailand. Non-smokers are clearly saying butt out! On the other hand, there are smokers who feel hard done by after all these years.
In Nana Plaza, the authorities have not enforced the smoking ban. Non-smokers should be aware of this fact. However, in Angelwitch Go-Go Bar they have banned the Thai staff from smoking inside the bar. This is something of a compromise to the situation. Customers are allowed to smoke in all of the four Rainbow Bars. Therefore, rival go-go bars do not want to lose customers to them. The smoking ban has to be a rule for all if it is going to work.

GOOD NEWS FOR A BOOZE CRUISE
Following the recent dry spell across Thailand, we are now green for go! Tonight marks the return of alcohol and more importantly the tourist areas can open their bars. Pattaya Police in particular, took harsh measures by immediately closing any go-go bar that attempted to open on Friday night. As one established Pattaya go-go bar owner said to me, “The Pattaya go-go bar owners will lose five nights takings this December.” This is a crushing blow to some bars in Pattaya that are quite clearly struggling. Not to mention all the poor farangs who have flown across the world to party in Thailand. Anyway, the bars right across Thailand will be open and serving alcohol from tonight (December 16th). All together now lads, “HOORAY!”
There is a catch to this though. Officially speaking, alcohol is NOT supposed to be served until 10:00pm tonight. Let us hope that the boys in brown will let the “booze cruise” kick off earlier at around 9:00pm.
REMINDER FOR DECEMBER 22nd AND DECEMBER 23rd
Sorry to say that next week on December 22nd and December 23rd, these are most likely to be “NO ALCOHOL” nights. December 23rd is the BIG ONE because this is the day of the Thai Elections. Thank the Lord when all this nonsense is over! As you know, millions of people from all corners of the globe fly to Thailand. Not surprisingly, all of us farangs are totally baffled, because we know we cannot vote. Furthermore, most of us would have no intentions to vote even if we could. Why should Westerners have to suffer the ban on alcohol? The Thai authorities really dropped a clanger this year.
BATTLE OF THE TITANS
Moving on to a much more exciting subject than politics; tonight there are two HUGE English Premier League football matches. It is the Battle Of The Titans! The mighty reds both face off in another epic encounter, as the English Premiership Champions Manchester United take on Liverpool at Anfield. Meanwhile in the capital there is a London derby match where Premier League leaders Arsenal host Chelsea. Both of these matches have the potential to be full of end-to-end electrifying action…
THAILAND TIME KICK OFF…
LIVERPOOL V MANCHESTER UNITED – 20:30
ARSENAL V CHELSEA – 22:30
WHERE DO I WATCH THE FOOTBALL IN BANGKOK?
Big Dogs (Nana Plaza), Londoner Brew Pub or The Office (Sukhumvit, Soi 33), Bully’s Pub (next to JW Marriott Hotel), Bull’s Head Pub (Sukhumvit, Soi 33/1), Shadow Sports Bar (Soi Cowboy), Chequers Bar, Hanrahan’s Irish Pub, or Finnegan’s Irish Pub (Soi Nana), Gulliver’s Travellers Tavern (Sukhumvit, Soi 5), or Woodstock Bar (44 Soi Thonglor 13).
Get ready for the Battle Of The Titans. HERE WE GO!
