King’s Castle 1 and 2 Go-Go bars, Patpong, Bangkok
by Suk Psycho ~ January 15th, 2009. Filed under: Go-Go Bars.King’s Castle I and King’s Castle II are two twins Go-Go bars located on Patpong soi 1. They really look alike and one could mix them easily, except that the entrance doors are not exactly located at the same place, and that the girls have difference “stage costumes”: all girls are in bikini but in King’s Castle 1 they also wear fishnets which can be very sexy. In King’s Castle 2, few girls do.
Both bars are ok and full of girls, but both, as many bars in Patpong, would really need a bit work of renewal and decoration to make them as appealing as the best bars in soi CowBoy and Nana Plaza.
What I don’t like in these bars, and in most of Patpong bars actually, is that the Mamasan are pushy. Even the girls are pushy. Asking you what girl you want to sit with you or offering to sit themselves. Patpong is already annoying for all the touts wanting to sell you ping-pong shows, massages or whatever, but once you get into a bar and expect to relax and have a drink with your friends, it is always painful to still have people not leaving you alone for a while.
They also assume that you are a tourist, which means a first timer. Last time I took a girl at King’s Castle 2, she went to dress herself without asking for the barfine or the ST rate. But then, while she was away, came a Mamasan with a sheet of paper. She had written 500+2000 and slowly explained to me that the barfine was 500 and the ST rate 2000 and that I had to pay the total amount right now.
I gave her a strange look and answered that I knew about that, would pay the 500 right now and the rest to the girl later on. She did not insist.
Last time I went to King’s Castle 1, I asked a girl about the rate. She said also 500 for the barfine and 2000 for ST. She also mentionned that there was a ST room available upstairs for another 500 baht. I summed up the total to 3000 baht and made a face. She quickly said that this could be reduced to 2500 but I said I was not interested.

@Petnoi - man that was a great concise summary style report!
3 pops in 90 minutes…you are a machine!! lol.
btw - when u mention brothel, do you mean ST hotel?
January 16th, 2009 at 4:24 pm
to SABAI
yes, brothel samesame sthotel
btw, that sthotel was the one beside the rear door of King’s corner, upstairs. I am pretty sure that the lady get 100 baht from the manager as a commission to bring the customer there, anyway the rooms are decent, the shower room is so-so, and you have 120′ time. there is an other one in PP1 cheaper , 400 baht, but definitively disgusting.
nothing to say about THE STRIP?

it’s good that someone is reviewing patpong. i tend to avoid there because of all the riffraff and rip offs and unmetered taxis when u want to go home.
sounds like you got a freebie with the girl from the strip?
January 16th, 2009 at 7:57 pm
Petnoi: good deal for you but this price is way below average rate. Do you have the number of the girl so that I can check what she looks like?
Sabai: Petnoi is one of those guys who go more for a price than for a girl. He did pass on the one at Strip obviously.
I did review Strip Go-Go bar here: http://www.sukhumvit-psycho.com/2008/09/the-strip-gogo-bar-patpong-silom-bangkok/

In Queen Castle 2 girls have no number. Probably because they have no place to stick it as they are usually completely naked or with just underwear. QC2 is one of those places which terrify the farang because 1) is in PP and 2) it is on second floor (this is way dangerous…….!)…LOL……The plain truth is that you pay a drink 10 baht more than in ground floor (justified by the show) and(if you want and if you can) you have good chance to have a lot of fun (and I mean it). Only two conditions: don’t be shy (you could find yourself boom-boom-ing shoulder to shoulder with an other customer) and dare to say NO when you mean it (or you risk to have to tip 5-6 ladies).
I am sorry to contradict you Suk but petnoi don’t go for the price or for the girl, he go for the good time at a reasonable price, that is, more or less, what everybody wants.
But not everybody can get.

to Sabai: I did not get anything at all but a drink in the strip! Sorry maybe I did not explain myself so well. Anyway PP is different from SCB or NEP for many reason. The most obvious is that PP is the first place for tourists and, anywhere in the world, many tourists=a lot of scam. But PP has also the good things. One is the bars (1st and 2nd floor) belonging to King’s group. No tricks. But for sure if you don’t know PP you could step into the wrong place. It happened to me about 25 years ago when I was a newbie, nothing to be ashamed of.

@ Petnoi: did not realize that you mentioned Queen Castle. Thought it was King’s Castle. Don’t know this Go-Go but will definitely give it a look!
January 17th, 2009 at 6:03 pm
OK. I think that now it is my duty to give a short overview (a sort of mini-map) of PP’s King’s group.
King’s group is a Thai-owned old group (several tenths of years of business in PP). Currently they own (at least): at 1st floor (or ground floor) 1) King’s Corner : for sure the most popular (and the best positioned) gogo in PP (2/3 fully operated katoeys and 1/3 ladies) - 2) King’s Garden: bar with live band in front of the previous (ladies available) - 3) King’s Caste 1 & 2: one beside the other gogos (90% ladies, some hidden katoeys) - 4) King’s Camelot gogo(same and close to the previous 2) - 5) King’s Castle 3: opposite side, 100% partially operated katoeys (in the past very funny place, now more pushy, but it worths a visit)
In the second floor now only Queen Castle 2 is operational as QC1 is renovating. This place is totally different from the others. This is the homeland of the infamous pingpong show (and more). If you never saw it you have to. Besides, here you can have the most intriguing and naughty adventure available in PP (and maybe in BKK). Ladies beauty is mostly low, but availability is mostly high. I could write a small book only about what i passed through in this spot (and QC1) in the last 20 years. But you would hardly believe it. As I said in a previous post: this place is a must, but if you want to have a great fun, select 1, 2 or 3 girls, bargain before, speak very clear and then don’t be shy to perform whatever in front of an occasional audience (or maybe just few centimeters from it). You can go alone. No problem of rip-off from the management. Just check every drink and every bill and, again, speak clear with the ladies about what you want and what you give. Ladies here are among the toughest of BKK but if you are tough as well then satisfaction is guaranteed.
More info available on kind request.

Petnoi
then you will understand why I don’t mind a s… of places like The Strip

@Petnoi: Thanks for this. I moved this review to the Forum so that people interested in more info can step in.
