In Pattaya - Check out The Welkom Inn Early On (Before Noon)

Welkom Inn is a hotel in Soi 3 (also entrance in Soi 2), but it has a little nice bar in Soi 3 too and the party starts early here.
In Soi 3 you will see some ladies sitting outside before a curtain, which is the entrance to the very dark little bar inside (coming from the beach road, it will be on the left side, just after some regular bars).

You won't need a flashlight however, there will always be someone to guide into the right direction... ;-)

Man Dies While Having Sex in Pattaya

American tourist dies apparently of generic Viagra overdose

Pattaya - An American tourist died while having sex with a Thai bar girl in this seaside resort town late Sunday night, police said.

The bar girl told police that Ronald Kipu, 58, took three pills of Kamagra before having sex with her.

She filed complaints with police at 12:30 am that the man collapsed and stopped breathing while having sex with her in his room on the sixth floor of New Star Apartment in Chon Buri's Bang Lamung district.

Kipu just arrived at Pattaya Sunday afternoon and took her to his apartment from a bar in the evening, she said.

Police said there was no trace of fighting or assaulting on the man.
Police found a four-pill pack of Kamagra wit just one pill left.
The mans' body was sent for an autopsy.

Nana Plaza Under Construction

The escalator has been removed, after years of on and off operations. The thing was in a state of disrepair for years. Maybe they will install a functional one this time.

Dean Barrett in Cambodia

Bangkok:
If you haven't been to Sukhumvit, soi 8 for a while you will be very surprised at the amazing number of new and interesting restaurants, etc.
So if you associate Soi 8 only with Lolita's you will have to think again. Jerry divides his time between Bangkok and upcountry whereas I divide my time between Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza. Not exactly the same but the principle is the same.

Phnom Penh:
As you may know, there are many, many Vietnamese young women available in Cambodia as well as Cambodians themselves. To say that the Cambodians do not like the Vietnamese is an understatement. So I was sitting at a table at Sharkey's with a Cambodian girl and my friend's 26-year-old nephew was sitting with a half Chinese/half Cambodian girl.

(And to make a short story shorter....)
Yes, for the sake of international peace and fellowship, I had to take an attractive, young Cambodian woman back to my hotel room and do the nasty with her. A tough life but somebody has to live it. And since I hadn't planned to take anybody back with me, I hadn't taken any Viagra, so I actually had to work at it!

Tilac Bar at Soi Cowboy was Hopping

I discovered that the most popular go-go bar that night was Tilac Bar. Even though Tilac is a large go-go bar, it had customers sitting in every area of the bar, and outside as well.

Tilac really has transformed itself into a modern hangout, carving out its own chunk of the go-go bar market. The extravagant remodel is obviously paying dividends! The elaborate use of ultraviolet lighting gives it an almost futuristic design, which complements the tabletop theme.

Country Road in Soi Cowboy Stays Open During Elections

It looks like some of the bars decided to stay open, but with a smaller staff.
(As we can see from the photo from Bangkok Eyes)

Bar Girls Just Earning A Living in Bangkok

They are simply ‘bar girls’ earning a living the best way they can.
And, of course, a lot of the sex that goes on between Westerners and Thai women is of the ‘normal’ variety that isn’t based on a direct trade of cash for sex,

but involves good old fashioned lust.

Bangkok No Smoking Update


Nana won't allow nudity but will allow smoking.
Cowboy's the opposite, nudity everywhere but not a butt,
of the cigarette variety, to be seen!

A Moment of Awe

After a bout of great sex, Butterfly Bob’s Thai girlfriend lay there stroking his sex tool.
Bob asked, “Do you want more sex?”
She replied, “No, I’m just admiring your cock,
I really miss mine.”

Nana Plaza Update

Nana really needs to wake up because punters now have four reasons to go to Soi Cowboy - friendlier atmosphere, more on display, cheaper prices and smokefree bars!

But there's at least one bit of good news from Nana this week.
The motorbikes that had been parked in the main entranceway have been banished.
I don't know where they park them now, but let's hope that they've gone for good.

So Long Old Friend in Pattaya

It's gone! Pattaya's most famous landmark has been removed. The Walking Street sign that has greeted visitors for years to the heart of the world's most famous adult playground has disappeared forever, soon to be replaced with a new high tech LCD replacement which, from the looks of things, should be up and running shortly.

The Sigh of a Hard Working Blogger in Bangkok


Gee Art, no… nothing interesting on THIS site… :(
Fuck me dead, why do I bother??!!

In the last week or so this site has featured:
• Celebrity spotting of Natalie & Paradorn
• A story about Sherbert & V Club
• A lengthy story about customer service in Bangkok
• The best deaf-hooker-in-the-parking-lot story you’re likely to hear this month
• A spot about the Sports Academy (with a link to Bangkok Eyes)
• A detailed review of Carousel go go (including details of my short time with the waitress, and this gem: “Jack commented that the girls looked like they were all just released from a Women’s Prison. I’d agree that about 80% of them did look that way, and I mean it in the nicest way possible.”)
• Some great photos of a very sexy Jessica Alba
• Four new entries on the Super Spinners list
• As well as three or four other posts with links offered to John Galt, Bangkok Gig Guide, Nana Journals, the Big Mango, the Guide 2TBM, and some German guy’s blog about Pattaya.

(You may want to give a miss to the next blog… 750 words devoted to perspiration)

Am I not working hard enough for you, or do you think all my shit’s just boring?

Happy Chinese New Year at Angelwitch


I know, its the wrong celebration photograph, but I like the photo from Dave The Rave.
This is the Angelwitch gogo girls dancing in the middle of Nana Plaza for Loy Kratong.

Kangaroo Club Review

I turned up at the Kangaroo Club in Patpong one morning at about 10.00 a.m. and wandered through the street level door - all was quiet so I called out something inane like “anyone there?”
A lady appeared at the top of the stairs to tell me that the bar was closed but then as an afterthought asked if I wanted a BJ.
I said yes - she said ‘I can do’ - so I ambled up and she dispensed with her rubber gloves and mop took me round to the seated section and proceeded to attend to my significant other.
I know that bar girls take turns in opening the bars and cleaning them so it is most likely that she was a normal service provider that happened to be on dusting duties that morning - but I guess she could have been the cleaner.
Anyway she was a mid-twenties spinner so I wasn’t going to complain. I left her with a 1000 Baht note and doubt that she reported that particular transaction to the bar owner.

Quote of the Week from Dean Barrett

We are now heading into the end of the cool season so I am heading into Cambodia for a bit and you should also be on the road traveling. Because this is the season to travel without too much perspiration. So get out the map and go!
The bars will miss you, fo shore, hansum man, but you'll be back.
And, as you know, in Thailand, you don't lose your girl, you only lose your turn.

Happy Hour until 9 pm at Soi Cowboy

One very good reason to start your evening in Soi Cowboy is to take advantage of the excellent drinks deals on offer. Unlike Nana Plaza, almost every single bar in Soi Cowboy has a Happy Hour.
Tilac, Black & White, Long Gun and Raw Hide, all have a Happy Hour that runs until 9:00pm. Better still is the fact that they all offer local beers and spirits at only 60 Baht. When you see the “birthday suit babes” in Long Gun and Raw Hide, this has to be the best drinks deal in the whole of Bangkok.

Has Soi Cowboy Gone To The Elephants?

With all on the neon, the food vendors selling fried insects, and the elephants, Soi Cowboy in Bangkok, Thailand, takes on a circus-like atmosphere at night.

New Years Celebration at Soi Cowboy in Bangkok, Thailand



Khun Nana states that these are the good old times in the nightlife of Bangkok. And from looking at Dean Barrett's New Years Eve photos of Soi Cowboy, maybe he's right.
Check out Dean and Khun's website for more insight.
