Soi Cowboy closes around 2:30 AM.  Patpong closes between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM.  Most go-go bars in Pattaya stay open until at least 3:00 AM, while the discos and nightclubs are open until the very early hours.  Quite a lot of the pubs and clubs in Phuket stay open until well after 2:00 AM.

 

WHEN MOLLY’S IRISH EYES ARE SMILING

After Dark Asia MagazineIt has been reported by Stickman that the Irish Xchange Pub on Convent Road will soon be renamed Molly Malone’s Irish Pub.  I now know the reason why.  Molly Malone’s situated on Patong Beach in Phuket have bought out the Irish XChange Pub.  Therefore the new owners naturally want the old Irish XChange to be renamed Molly Malone’s, the same label as the other sister branch.  Without becoming too pedantic, Molly Malone’s does seem to have a ring to it.  What does the Irish XChange mean?  Did they exchange Irish people there or what?  A burnt out old Hollywood movie star would be envious of the makeover that the new Molly Malone’s is currently receiving.  One of Bangkok’s favourite pubs is getting a substantial remodelling job and it will open with a bang on September 1 with a special party.  The management assures us that the “distinctive character and friendly staff will remain.”  The facelift for Molly Malone will soon have her Irish eyes smiling upon you! 

Improvements will include:-

* A brand new air-conditioning system.
* New keg room and beer chiller to guarantee a cooler fresher taste.
* New state of the art sound system with improved stage area.
* New soft lighting.
* Improved access.
* Remodelled safer up stairs access.
* Increased standing capacity.
* Increased seating capacity.

A JAP TRAP IN NANA PLAZA

A young Japanese guy walked into Angelwitch Go-Go Bar in Nana Plaza the other night.  He proceeded to buy two lady drinks for two dancers and one mamasan (six drinks in total).  OK, nothing too unusual there.  However, the Japanese guy paid his bill and decided to tip all three of them.  He gave them 1,000 baht each.  Now that is a whopping great tip!  Here is another reminder why Westerners should not blame the bargirls.  All three did not ask for, or expect a tip of 1,000 baht each, but the Japanese customer offered.  I will let you judge for yourselves the impact that this has on the market.

PATPONG GO-GO BARS

A friend went to Patpong this week and reported that it was very quiet in most of the go-go bars.  Out of several go-go bars that my friend checked out, there was only one go-go bar that had more than 10 customers.  Kiss, Safari, and Club Electric Blue were all very quiet, but Camelot Castle Go-Go Bar had around 30 customers.  My friend also reported that the night market is not doing the bar owners any favours.  The night market has encroached across the sidewalk so much, that there is hardly any room left between the market, and the entrance to the go-go bars.  Even though it was very quiet, he enjoyed meeting a lovely young lady in Electric Blue Go-Go Bar.  The young dolly bird had just started work that evening and so, this was a fortunate discovery for my eager beaver friend.  Take note that there are some attractive go-go dancers in Camelot Castle Go-Go Bar, King’s Castle 1 Go-Go Bar, King’s Castle 2 Go-Go Bar and some in Electric Blue Go-Go Bar.
