SHAKY START FOR SHAKERZ

Shakerz Coyote Club LogoThe Grand Opening of Shakerz Coyote Clubย got off to a somewhat “shaky” start.ย  Last Sunday (June 24) Shakerz Coyote Clubย opened its door to the public.ย  Situated above Swan Pool Bar, which is right smack bang on the corner of the Sukhumvit, Soi 4 and Sukhumvit, Soi 6 junction.ย  The two bar owners had tried their very best to recruit theย most attractiveย coyote dancers they could, but this is a tougher task than it looks to observers.The turnover of bargirls in Bangkok seems to have reached its highestย level.ย  The evening commenced very slowly with not much action at all until 10:00 PM.ย  Fortunatelyย the Shakerz dolly birds finally arrived and came to the rescue.ย  Then the party got going.ย  Long term Bangkok reident Khun Leigh was in attendance and he thoroughly enjoyed the evening.ย  Khun Leigh and others thought that the two owners of Shakerz Coyote Club were brave to open on a Sunday night in low season.ย  Unfortunately there was quite a lot of rainfall as well.ย  But, despite the “shaky” start the place started to fill up after 10:00 PM and the Bosses were reported to be gracious hosts.ย  Some of the free food on offer included fried chicken wings, so there wereย hot chicks in more forms than just one.

KHUN LEIGH’S CORNER

Talking of Khun Leigh, he has just started writing a new column entitled “Khun Leigh’s Corner” for Dean Barrett.ย  Khun Leigh is described by Dean Barrett as a savvy local expat with vast experience of Bangkok’s nightlife.ย  Check it out!

BANGKOK GO-GO BAR CLOSING TIMES

I would likeย to clarify the current bar closing times for the go-go bar areas in Sanuk City, because they are often the most variable. In the same context the Bangkok bar closing hours can sometimes be confusing and therefore some people are misinformed. I have very positive news for Night Fever fans, because I am pleased to announce that later closing times have now been reinstated. This applies to ALL of the go-go bar areasย right acrossย Bangkok. Currently, Patpong can stay open until 3:00 AM, so the go-go bars in Patpong close between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM.ย Nana Plaza now closes consistently at around 2:00 AM (later onย some nights), and Soi Cowboy closes consistently between 2:00 AMย and 2:30 AM. These times apply to most nights but occasionally they may vary slightly. Overallย this is very good news, even considering thatย it is a quiet low season.

I want to point out that just because a go-go bar closes earlier than these times that have been stated above, it does not necessarily mean the boys in brown are closing all the bars down.ย What sometimes happensย on quiet nights is the bar owners themselvesย might decide to close up for the night. Have a look around the immediate vicinity because there could well be a barย that is still open. Some nightsย just recently have beenย veryย quiet due to rainfall, or less bargirls and/or customersย onย that particular nights. Therefore, rather than stay open for no logicalย reason the bar bossย  sometimes shuts shop. There is hardly any point staying open withย next to zero customers, and this wayย bar bossesย can show consideration “krengjai kropkrua” toย their staff. From time to time this happens all across Thailand, and as the “Welsh Wizard” Tom Jones sings, “It’s not unusual.”

THAI TALK – “krengjai kroprua” means to give consideration to the staff. The word “kropkrua” means family and this is how Thais refer to their team of staff.ย Quite often theย boss or mamasan is refered to as “Mae” or Mother, and therefore this isย where Thai terminology comes into play. The Thaisย have madeย someย very clever analogies in the bar business.ย ย ย 

SOI COWBOY – A WALK ON THE WILD WEST SIDE

Having a stroll through “Little Las Vegas” or Soi Cowboy is never a dull experience for me personally. I think that the Q factor (quantity of quality) has risen considerablyย in some go-go bars in Soi Cowboy. Combined with the BIG advantage of “showing”, Soi Cowboy has emerged as a more popular nightspot throughout this past year. This especially applies to farang residents who like to frequent Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza and the many good pubsย and theme bars that Bangkok offers in abundance. Soi Cowboy remains a popular choice for a wideย selection of the farang expats. When you see some of the eye candy on offer it’s not surprising!

SOI COWBOY SUPER SAVERS

Spice Girls Go-Go BarLast week I discussed the “super savers” or great drink deals that Pattaya has to offer during their Happy Hours. In the same lightย a selection ofย go-go bars in Soi Cowboyย offer some remarkably good Happy Hours. The following Soi Cowboy go-go bars; Our Place, Spice Girls, Midnite, andย Dejaย Vu all offer a very competitive Happy Hour. From 6:30 PM until 8:30 PM house drinks are only 50 Baht.ย By the way, not surprisingly Our Place, Spice Girls, Midnite and Deja Vu go-go bars are all owned by the same go-go bar owner.ย This go-go bar group also offer tequilaย at only 50 Baht a shot. Please note that the 50 Baht tequila shotsย runย every Monday and Tuesday. I think that tastes in go-go bars vary enormously, but whatever you think of these four go-go bars, this Happy Hour isย a real deal.ย ย Chok Dee Kap!
