Sukhumvit Psycho

It is not only Thai people who make surprising business decisions. Foreigners too. The Strip Go-Go bar (Patpong) was closed a few months ago and sold to Spanky’s Go-Go bar’s owners. Probably because the business was not good. Probably because of the location and the business model, a mix of private shows and exotic shows [...]

It’s not a glamorous Go-Go bar, no, that’s the name: Glamour Go-Go Bar. It’s a new Go-Go bar that has just opened on Patpong soi 2, next to the entrance of the Black Pagoda, opposite Foodland. Glamour Go-Go bar looks pretty much like Bada Bing Go-Go bar (same furniture) but it’s much smaller, and only [...]

Super Pussy. With such a name how come I did never set a foot there? Now I know! First, it’s on a second floor in Patpong. Red flag! Almost all bars on the second floor in Patpong are rip-off places. Second, there is a group of bad looking Thai dudes downstairs who greet the punters [...]

Guess what? The curfew is extended! It’s extended for 4 nights, until Saturday morning, from midnight to 4am. Yesterday I went to Patpong and it was very very quiet. I was not expecting much, but it was even below expectations. The night market was not there. Normally this would be a good news, but yesterday [...]

Usually I don’t like to blog off topic, but it seems that the current political situation in Bangkok is a concern for several readers. I can understand that. The media coverage is rather misleading. However don’t be scared by what the so-called local correspondents say. They should be more concerned with Kyrgyzstan right now. Over [...]

Benten Massage Bangkok is the first Teen-like massage shop that I know in the Silom area. It’s located on Silom soi 6, a couple hundred meters down from Patpong when arriving from Sala Daeng BTS station, on the right hand side. It’s a rather small shop but they have quite a few girls available as [...]

Is it me or is Patpong becoming always more depressing? In late December (supposedly the high season in Thailand and Bangkok) I walked down Patpong soi 1. I checked a few GoGo bars on the soi. All dead empty. I eventually stopped at King’s Castle 2. It was quite empty as well but I had [...]

This is a reader submission by Lumpini. Rose Bar is another long-running Patpong BJ bar. It’s in Patpong 1, on the same side as Kangaroo Club but more in the middle of the soi. Between Goldfinger and the old Supergirls go-go bars. (Is Supergirls even still operating?) Same as Kangaroo, you walk through the door [...]

This is a reader submission by Lumpini. Another place in Patpong 2 I’ve not seen mentioned on this website is Mike’s Place. Back up from Foodland, down that soi that runs next to it. It’s in the same location that Lolita’s Patpong occupied during its short tenure. When Lolita’s was there, they had their trademark [...]

Wall Street Inn hotel Bangkok is located in a small dead-end soi, between Patpong soi 2 and soi Thaniya (BTS Sala Daeng). The soi is only accessible from Surawong Road. It’s a small soi full of (naughty?) massage shops, and near the end, on the right hand side, the Wall Street Inn Hotel. There is [...]
