Yes that’s right a go go bar where you won’t have to pay that bar fine fee to take a dancer from the bar. This is a brave experiment by the owners of the bar. According to the owners of the bar there are no hidden costs for the punter in this new go go bar strategy to attract more customers to the venue. The customer will not be expected to buy a minimum number of drinks or ladies drinks.
With bar fines ranging from 600 baht up to 1500 baht and even more in some go go bars this new business practice will surely attract a flow of punters wanting to save some money. There could be the odd one or two customers who float in, buy one drink, choose a dancer and nick off for the evening.
A customer ducking in for one drink then fleeing with a dancer on each arm would not be such a good deal for the owners. But the general consensus among a lot of punters is that they usually enjoy to relax a while and loosen up with several drinks to put them in the right mood.
The bar fine compensates the bar owner for the loss of lady drinks in the girl’s absence. The bar fine also compensates the owner for the reduction in luster (less girls dancing) and less choice of girls. It might even contribute to the dancer’s salary. So if the punters behave and buy a few drinks this should be a win win deal all around.
So where is this Go Go Bar that is setting new standards for the industry? It is Bunnies in Bangkok. Bunnies is located on the ground floor of Nana Plaza on Sukhumvit Soi 4. Here are some girl friendly hotels in that area listed in order of their distance from Nana Plaza. On Monday the 10th of July Bunnies implemented the new policy of no longer charging customers a bar fine to take a dancer out of the bar.
If you go to Bunnies in Nana Plaza and you spot a dancer that you fancy then before you leave the bar together you might want to have a friendly chat about what her expectations may be for the remainder of the evening. For insight into the possible variables and experienced advice about avoiding any hassles with negotiations you could read the Bar Girls Report.
This is great news for those who have had to rein in their spending due to poor exchange rates. Especially those who are transferring funds in GBP and the AUD.
Hats off to Bunnies Bangkok for trying something new. It will be interesting to see whether or not this new business practice creates some competition causing other owners to experiment with the no bar fine, free out of the bar approach. Bunnies might have to employ more dancers. Hopefully it will all go well and there will be a lot more happy punters with big smiles.
It was located on Second Road North Pattaya opposite Central Marina Shopping Center. This was one of the original soapy massage shops to be established in Pattaya.
I had my first introduction to Thai soapy massage at this establishment back in 1996. In 2017 it was still keeping up with its competitors although the interior had become a little shabby. But we are not going there to check out the decor are we. No its the employees we are interested in. Those lovely ladies behind the glass wall.
Sabai Room Soapy was finally demolished in 2022. In the early days of this soapy massage parlor’s life the pricing structure was very different to what it is now. Back then there was a flat rate of 400 to 500 baht paid to the parlor and the masseuse fee was left negotiable but with an understanding that the starting price might be around 500 baht.
Then depending upon how you approached the girl, an even better deal could be struck for around 800 to 900 baht all inclusive. Those days might be gone but the opportunities are still present.
During 2020 the rate at Sabai Room Massage was fixed at:
1,300 baht for 90 minutes.
1,800 for 2 hours
The Best Soapy Massage
So now you are searching the internet to find out which massage parlor has the best girls. Well you might save a lot of time and misinformation if you consider that, in a way, the girls are all equal.
Yes some are prettier than others but they are all Thai and are all trained to perform the same task. Each of the top five massage parlors has its fair share of average lookers, pretty ladies, and stunners.
At the Sabai Room the girls each had a white button with a two or three digit ID number attached to their attire.
I found the attendants at the Sabai Room, on most occasions, not as intrusive as one of the attendants I got to know at Honey 2. Sometimes they can be a bit pushy, asking you if you have made up your mind yet and consistently recommending a particular number.
The Soapy Massage Procedure
The procedure is similar at all the top level massage parlors.
Some steps in the procedure do get swapped around and on odd occasions one step might be ignored. Quite often that is the first step; being sensually and slowly disrobed by the masseuse.
Now I can go ahead and write up a review of my experience at this particular massage parlor. And I will write a little about it shortly.
But the procedure is usually very much the same in all the major soapy parlors. The layout is also similar in all of them. That will be a well appointed private split level room with a king size bed, a spa tub and a spacious tiled floor in the spa area ready to lay down a rubber mattress upon which you should enjoy your soapy body massage.
What Happens in a Soapy Massage Parlor?
Here it is as I have experienced it.
After ogling all the girls in the foyer you choose your girl.
The attendant calls her to link up with you.
Next is the “Golden Moment“.
An opportunity for you to set the scene for a memorable experience. This is important.
Then you pay the fee before going to the room.
After paying the fee you go to the room with the girl.
A well known Pattaya Icon now reduced to dust in the wind.
When you get to the room the spa tub might still be filling up or your girl will have to attend to it. The disrobing could begin at this point.
However on some occasions you might be asked if you would like to order an expensive drink from the bar.
A room maid will fetch the drink(s) and you might be expected to offer a tip. This will depend upon what happened during the golden moment step.
After disrobing you will head on over to the spa for your first plunge.
Sometimes the girl will jump in the tub with you or just give you a sponging while she kneels at the side of the tub.
You can tell her your preference.
Next its an out of the tub experience and on to the rubber mattress on the floor. She will usually soap it up first then ask you to lie on the rubber mattress. Then she should playfully pour and drip soap suds all over your naked body.
After that is the close body contact part where she entwines her naked body with yours slipping and sliding, massaging various parts of your anatomy with her arms, legs, knees, elbows, fingers, palms, butt and crotch.
Depending upon how you spent your “golden moment” this ecstasy could last a while.
Next part of the procedure is to jump back into the tub and wash off all the suds.
During the “old days” if we had negotiated for just a soapy massage without the serious stuff the girl would use this part of the procedure to upgrade your experience.
At this point knowing a few Thai love words and phrases would enhance the experience.
And here is what happened to me a few times back then.
While slipping and sliding she would several times slide me briefly inside her from many positions. Lastly with her knees either side of my waist she would hover over me with her lips just on my tip and whisper,
“Do you want it?”
And I would answer playfully, “Could you do all that and ask me again I didn’t hear you.”
It didn’t take long to make a decision.
Back to the present.
After washing off all those soap suds its time to towel down and adjourn to the bed for a short Thai style massage before the grand finale.
What you do for the grand finale is entirely up to the two of you.
Summing up. If you pay attention around the time of the “Golden Moment” then you should be able to ensure that your soapy massage adventure is a memorable experience.
Accommodation Tip: Want to stay in a nice hotel just 5 minutes walk from the top two Pattaya Soapy Massage Parlors?
Quiet with ocean views.
Walk 2 minutes to “Subway” sandwich bar and “Burger King”.
The hotel is just 10 meters from the beach. Book this hotel on line and save 35% on the “walk-in” rate.
As I walked back into the Tim Bar on second road Pattaya the doorman tapped me on the shoulder saying with a chuckle, ‘Oh you come back, vely good’.
Glancing past the go-go dancers I saw the swine immediately. Frobisher, he’d come back. He was talking to Fon as if trying to explain something. As I got closer Fon jumped off her seat and came to meet me. ‘Mr mayJAW he try ony pay me eight hunled for short time boom-boom but bar wan six -mean I ony get two. No good for me Mr mayJAW’.
‘Major what are you doing here; I thought you’d gone home’ said Frobisher
‘You’re a damn sneak and a cheapskate Frobisher,’ I replied gently fuming.
As Hendrix` Cross Town Traffic boomed out across the Tim Bar I took a 1000baht note from my wallet and handed it to Fon saying, ‘Let’s go my dear, time is of the essence’.
‘I say Major I was just negotiating a deal with this young lady if you don’t mind’.
‘Oh but I do mind Frobisher you’ll have to wait until I’m finished old boy’ I said.
I relished the look of disappointment registering on his tired old face. Fon came back with the 100 baht change which I told her to keep. By the way follow this link to learn about negotiating with Pattaya Bar Girls.
‘Steady on old boy said Frobisher, think of the old country we’re going broke you know, don’t spoil it for the rest of us’.
I now had to decide where best to take Fon.
Choice 1. Short time
Approximately 1 and a half hours = 600 baht bar fine+ 300 baht for modest clean room upstairs. Tip for girl agreed between you but 500 baht for short time is usual.
Choice 2. To take Fon out of the bar for the night.
600 baht bar fine. Usually from a Go-Go Bar like the Tim Bar although negotiable with the girl you would be expected to pay 1000 baht for the night. The Mamasan asked one of the serving girls to take me up stairs and show me one of the better rooms for staying the night. I was impressed, it was close to five star quality, a large double room with fridge, a big flat screen TV plus DVD, a king sized bed with spotless bed linen. The clincher was the bathroom with its walk-in shower and enormous Jacuzzi plus a maid to run it for you. It was 800 baht for the night and you had to leave by 10 the next morning.
Choice 3. To take Fon to one of the nearby hotels.
The Bliss Hotel in Soi Diana, for instance. A modest, clean room is 700 baht per night.
I decided on Choice 1, short time. All told including a lady drink and 100 baht tip the escapade would cost me 1605 baht.
Fon was the consummate professional. Before I had a chance to take her clothes off, something I always enjoy doing to a woman, she had disrobed and was telling me to join her in the shower where she carefully soaped me all over. I had to tell her to slow down as things were coming to a head much too quickly. I couldn’t help thinking that another 500 baht for her and 500 more for a larger room with a Jacuzzi for the night would have been the better option. But of course because of Noy it wasn’t possible.
Fon was magnificent. Earlier she had agreed to do something for me that Noy always refused to do. Something to herself whilst I watched. Her eyes had lit up when I asked her. Watching how much pleasure she was giving to herself I understood why.
When we finally made love she had already had numerous orgasms. She insisted on a condom. In these kinds of circumstances I’d never fail to use one. As I walked back out through the club I noticed Frobisher had gone and wondered whether it was back to his lady or short time with one of the go go girls.
I walked into the condo to the familiar strains of Noy’s nasal mutterings. They gave me that warm feeling you get from being back at home. Footnote.
All the prices quoted above were current in April 2013. Listed below are some of the prices in the Tim Bar as of February 2015 although getting these clear with the Mamasan and a number of girls was no easy task.
There are no modestly priced rooms upstairs anymore.
Short time, 2 hours total. Bar fine….Dancer, 800 baht. Service girl, 700 baht.
Room upstairs. 800 Baht.
Lady drink, 125 baht.
Short time price for lady seems to be negotiable between 1,000 and 1,500 baht.
As you can see in less than two years the prices have rocketed. Precisely the same kind of escapade pursued currently and paying 1,000 baht for the lady would cost me 2,825 baht. The leap in price compared with the 1,605 baht paid in April 2013 is excessive. Sadly, as the Major’s pension has stayed the same he’s finding things a little stretched.
This time Noy really annoyed me, we’d arranged to go to the movies but she’d changed her mind. ‘I don go, too tied’ she said. ‘Too tired are you joking all you’ve done all day is lay on the bed’. I left her in the condo with the telly on saying ‘I’m going to play pool with Froby be back about twelve’. I arranged to meet Frobisher in the Tim Bar a well known go go bar and beer bar on second road in South Pattaya, opposite The Lek Hotel. ‘We’ll have a quiet drink he said, and maybe ogle a few ladies’. That’s a normal part of Pattaya Nightlife
The night was stickier than a Pattaya ladyboy’s tonsils so it was with relief I walked into the air-conned Tim Bar. We sat down along the back wall with the go go girls on their podium in front of us. We ordered Chang beer from a smiling service girl. It came ice cold, a small bottle for baht 85.
Over the next half hour we were served up some great music along with videos. James Brown from the 70s…Guns and Roses from the 80s…and the Chilli Peppers from the 90s. A welcome change from the usual copies you hear in the bars. I nodded my thanks to Tim Bar DJ he returned it with a grin.
There were many Thai girls, go go dancers and service girls. The go go dancers were more or less all pretty. A few were even beautiful. Their costumes were essentially a thong and an excuse for a bra. Personally The Major prefers a skimpy skirt.
The atmosphere was good in The Tim Bar that night, mainly because of the music played by the Tim Bar DJ.
I’d been catching her eye, she was such a great dancer hardly putting in any effort but managing to be sexier than all the rest of the go go dancers. She was probably about thirty; her body looked about twenty, her face about eighteen. What a cracker! ‘Sex on legs’ Frobisher said unable to disguise the awe in his voice. After her dance stint she came over and sat down next to me. She was even more beautiful close up. ‘I Fon she said please see you, wha your name’?
We chatted about nothing for a while then I thought O well I’ll just ask her. ‘You like me’ I said. ‘I lie, I lie, you ok. Bar fine 600 baht, me? up to you.’ Froby nudged me, ‘ask her about short time he said and she must have heard him because she said ‘Is 900 altogedder for one ow, if you wan service girl fine only 500’. This was good information so I bought her drink. Lady Drink in the Tim Bar 105 baht and the girl gets a token for 40 baht. I looked at her thinking, ‘why not I’ll still be back home by twelve.
I didn’t bar fine her though; instead I thought I’d go back and annoy Noy. When it was Fon’s turn to dance again Froby and I slipped away like a pair of seriously unsuccessful thieves in the night.
As I walked into the condo I heard Noy’s distinctive nasal mutterings. She was curled up, cuddling herself asleep as annoying as ever.
The evening is when most punters go bar hopping right?
In a way that’s what this post is about. Where to find the bars.
There are thousands of bars in Pattaya. You will need a good map to navigate them.
Good news. I have one for you. I know you like free stuff.
I received an email from Mike Baird giving me permission to upload his Pattaya bar hopping map for you to view on Pattaya-bar-girls website. Most of the bars shown in the map are located in Walking Street Pattaya.
If you like you can download the Pattaya bar map and print it out for your own personal use.
On the same web page you will see some of the bar girl ebooks, nightlife guides, and reports I have uploaded for you.
