Sukhumvit Psycho

I guess if you read this blog you know what a Go-Go bar is, but why do we call them Go-Go bars or A Gogo Bars? Where does this name come from? I bet you don’t know. On their February monthly column, Bangkok Eyes have a selection of some of their best stories published during [...]

Unlike Patpong or Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy was the only Go-Go bar area without any Ladyboys bar. One could find the odd Ladyboy here and there, especially in the small bars, but nothing like Obsession, Cascade (Nana Plaza) or Queen Castle 3 (Patpong). These days are over. A few days ago opened Cockatoo Go-Go bar, [...]

Pedros Music Bar is a beer bar located on Sukhumvit road, near Asok, halfway between the Interchange 21 Tower and the Shell Gas Station. It looks like a very small bar because the entrance is quite narrow, but it is deep and actually not that small. They have seats outside for smokers and inside for [...]

Fancy a room with a panoramic view on soi Cowboy? It is now possible at Grande Centre Point Hotel and Residence. Grande Centre Point Bangkok is the latest hotel of the Centre Point group (several hotels and Serviced Apartments in Bangkok).

How was Soi Cowboy without Shark Go-Go bar? I don’t know. Most of you probably don’t know either as Shark bar has been around for 9 years now. And tonight they are celebrating their 9th Anniversary. Free food and Gold Party (lottery/cocktail), whatever that means. Expect a lot of girls, a lot of balloons and [...]

Bad news! There is no new Go-Go bar on Soi Cowboy. Contrary to what I thought previously, this is only an extension of the Deja Vu Go-Go bar. The Apache bar has been replaced by a new space and a second entry to Deja Vu. This is bad news, especially because IMO the Deja Vu [...]

By mOOnwalker, one of our Forum members: “Was on Soi Cowboy yesterday and at around 1pm the lights went one and all the girls rushed from the stage to the locker room. A waitress came over and asked me to pay, i asked her what is going on and she said the police is coming. [...]

Is it the new election? The very rainy ‘rainy season‘? The long weekend? The global downturn? The earthquake in Japan? The Summer Holidays in Europe and the US? Or just me?
