The Big Mango Bar, Bangkok


Over the next few months there will be a bit of a change at the Big Mango Bar that's just off Soi 4. They are looking into converting the upper floors into a hotel/hostel... the bar will remain the same - just few mods....

We have 5 floors (not 4 as stated in a wrong article by a fat proffessor) at the Big Mango and lots of room, so the plan is to turn some of the floors into Serviced Apartments and Hotel rooms.   We arrived at this idea due to all the inquiries we get from people walking in off the street and asking if we have accommodation.  We have plenty of hotels around us – which are always full, so there seems to be a market down the sub-soi.

And what of the bar?   Changes are going to be there too.  I don’t know the details of the plans, but I do know that there will be a bit of construction on the the upper floors.

If you wonder about the staff, then don’t.  They’ll remain.    The bar will close for a while for some major construction works to be carried out.
Not too sure about the name just yet…. it’ll no longer be just a ‘bar’.   So…

The Big Mango Bar now opens at 4pm. Free Wifi and also public laptop available inside.

Nana Plaza Update (3-13)

Inside Nana Entertainment Plaza the Pretty Lady Bar took down their Nana Main Station because of complaints that it was so bright and that it was hurting people's eyes.  The sign was replaced with a red on black canvas sign which you can only read if you're standing right in front of it!  Compare that to the lovely new sign at Lollipop, right next door, which stands out all around the plaza.

Nana Liquid Disco, across the street on the ground floor of the Nana Hotel, remains closed.  It was reported last week that it had closed due to the strict enforcement of 2 AM closing on Soi Nana - which continues to be enforced.

Pretty Lady at Nana Plaza 2013

 The current Pretty Lady crew are a fun bunch and it is the attitudes of 
the girls and the general atmosphere of the bar that sets it apart.
 Pretty Lady Go-Go Bar features a floor-mounted wind machine which 
the DJ turns on without warning, causing the girls' skirts to be blown up.  
Shrieking and laughter follows as the girls quickly push their 
skimpy skirts back down to maintain their dignity.
Pretty Lady has such genuinely friendly girls, but more than anything, it's just good plain fun.  The 2013 version of Pretty Lady Bar on the ground level of Nana Plaza really does recapture the fun of the bars in the good old days!

Nana Entertainment Plaza by Peter

Nana Plaza is a four story complex of go go bars where you can have some beers, chat up some girls (expect to pay somewhere around 150 baht each for drinks for the ladies who you want to talk to), and pay the “bar fine” of somewhere around 600 baht (a little under $20 US) to the club to take the girl out.
That fee only gets the girl out of the bar though, so you’re going to have to negotiate any extra services with the girls before you pay the bar fine. The girls set their own prices, but 2000 baht to take her to your hotel room for an hour or two is pretty typical.

My real recommendation, if you’re in town for a while, is to hire one of the bar girls to be your tour guide to the local’s Bangkok on one of your first nights there, because that worked out amazingly well for me. No regular tour guide would have had me drinking beer and eating crickets by the river at 4am, but it was one of the highlights of my first trip to Thailand.

In Soi Cowboy the After Skool Bar is a place where you can get a bj while having a beer (so I’ve been told) and Cock-a-too is a ladyboy bar.
Baccara girls are the biggest hustlers on the block, but they’re also probably the most attractive, and you can see the most nudity there as well.
They have bikini clad girls on the main floor, but there’s a glass ceiling above you, and the girls dancing above you wear short skirts and no panties, so you can get quite a view if you don’t mind craning your neck and looking like a pervert.

Inside Mercury A-GoGo Club at Nana Plaza


Mercury Go-Go Club in Nana Plaza was full of girls, more than a few were very easy on the eyes. And Mercury now features a small shower stall towards the back of the bar where shower shows are performed.
Since its renovation, Mercury Bar has turned around and gone from a decrepit hole in a corner of Nana Plaza into a bar worth checking out.
Just don't be the first customer of the night; like a decent bottle of red, Mercury gets better as the night goes on.

A Few Soi Cowboy Girls





Ran into the Soi Cowboy photo guy who goes around and charges for instant portraits, and asked to take his picture. A few of the girls at Cowboy 2 got jealous and wanted to have their photos taken also. Just a few of the many girls in Soi Cowboy.

Ladyboys at Cascades in Nana Plaza


At my third and last night in BKK, finally I had time to go to Cascades, but only at about 1 a.m. . The place was very quiet, oviously most of the girls were barfined, not many stunners there. I ordered one san miguel light 150 baht, and went to toilet. I was the only one there.. When I finished, some girls came in, and I took the chance for pictures.. and the more pictures I took, the more girls came in.. haha.. they enjoyed it, as much as I did..
