Off to Nana Plaza, to inspect the remains of the Hog’s Breath Saloon - now called “Spanky’s”, while the bar formerly known as Spanky’s, next door, is being rennovated. They’ll be knocked through into one large bar when the works’ completed, in the next month or two.
As Nick wrote over at the Big Mango blog, it seems no expense has been incurred in the refurbishments - the’ve pulled everything out, installed a stage and poles down one wall, a cheap bench down the other, and painted the whole lot bright red.
I thought the girls weren’t quite as bad looking as Nick found them, but certainly there wasn’t much of interest. I noted with disappointment that the management have also brought over their two-tier barfine system from Soi Cowboy - ฿800 before 8pm, ฿600 afterwards.
Whilst Deja Vu is a lively and fun visit at the moment on Cowboy, with some terrific shows, the new Spanky’s management’s other bars, Midnite and Spice Girls, are dying a death. Very few cute girls, and the incessant begging for drinks really wears me down after a while.
Still, if they can bring a few of the shows from Deja Vu to the all-new Spanky’s, it could force Angelwitch next door to jazz up their offerings a little. We shall see.
Erotica on the wane
Down the stairs and round the corner, meanwhile, lies the sign promising “80 girls on two levels!”, outside the formerly great Erotica bar. I counted thirteen girls, on one level - upstairs was closed. At 2am, I could understand this, but this was at just 9pm. Erotica’s Aussie manager John disappeared under a cloud of rather nasty accusations a few months ago, and I’m not sure who’s managing the bar now - perhaps nobody, on this evidence.
Draught beer’s ฿95 per (small) glass, on the bright side - and Erotica does still feature one of the finest pairs of breasts in NEP. It’s just a shame about the (not so) young lady they’re attached to.
Erotica bar, gentlemen, is dead.
Erotic is dead. So is gspot
my guess is the new spank Breath will not rise from the ashes
sucks

Oh, I dunno - I pulled a 10/10 out of G-Spot just a couple of weeks ago.
It was her first day, mind. She now works at Rainbow 1 - think she lasted 3 days before leaving the G.
Very few people have anything nice to say about the Arab’s bars, but I maintain that Deja Vu’s a very decent bar. Does the unification of the two bars mean that Bangkok now has a gogo bar license going spare?

Yeah - but it is nothing like what it used to be in my opinion.
Was in last night. No lookers. Terrible service and at least 3-5 cut boys.
Seems to be the new crown theme these days.
Good question on the license. Have to ask around since I am not sure if they free up or move like that. We should get it for the mango…

A decent bar that seems to get little mention is Tilac (Soi Cowboy). There’s always energy, no matter the time of night. I don’t own stock…. just observing.

@Smitty: Regarding the katoeys, they have now infiltrated every one of the Crown bars. I’ve been looking. Piece forthcoming.
Good to finally meet you, incidentally.
@werewolf: Tilac bar is infuriating. Every time I walk past, there are a ton of hotties outside. Every time I go in, it’s awful.

One answer to that is to stay outside with the hotties.

I’m gonna take that “used to be” as a blast from the past.
I suspect you’re not that old and gray, Smitty, but perhaps you can remember Nana before that warren of beer bars housing fat drink-begging toilet cleaners, off-duty bus conductors and street sweepers, sprang up in what used to be Nana Plaza’s parking lot.
The whole place is a toilet now. The whole plaza. And with the Landmark
hotel rising white/triumphant like a toilet tank in the back ground I will say that whole spectacle looks like one great huge fucking swirling American Standard Cadet economy style shitter that’s been left in the Roi-et men’s loo for seven years.
Notwithstanding the former image, I confess that I DO end up there from time to time but I always end up feeling like I need to get back to my place for a shower.
Some fine pussy there though. But they’re losing fast to the katoey street gangs. This is a fucking shame. 1995 was Nana’s best year. A fucking pussy farm. Women in black bikinis EVERYWHERE you looked. Pussy hanging off the columns, Hot chicks blowing soap bubbles. Laughing and joking .
NOT ONE FUCKING USELESS THAI MAN IN SIGHT.
NOT ONE BOYFRIEND. NOT ONE “DOORMAN”.
Maybe an iceman or a drinks man or a beggar.
The males, useless parasitic sneering cunts that they are, were out of sight (ok Pretty Lady excepted)
Katoeys?
Never been with one.
Never tempted.
I can spot their stupid faces twenty meters away in the fucking DARK. They’re ugly. And they’re men. MEN.
How many of those slobs have HIV from taking it up the pooper ??? Coupled with the fact that most Thais have gingivitis from lack of dental facilities or bad facilities the risks are massive. Think a BJ from this crew is risk free??? Guess again!
I’d rather do an old experienced slapper than get blown by one of those freaks.
Not that I have ANYTHING against what some people call “Our Third Sex” Fucuuuuuck I figure that only about HALF of these dickheads are even really gay. Real reason they do this is that they’re just too lazy to work. Period. As typical Thai males they are just too fucking LAZY to do anything that doesn’t amuse them. Or make them feel superior to other people around them.
So they mutilate themselves.
Anything but work.
Why do you think it was so EASY FOR THE CHINESE TO COLONIZE AND OUT BREED THESE LAZY FOOLS.
Fuck ‘em while you can lads. It’s all about to change.
And it’s got very little to do with what’s for sale in the bars.
But there’ll always be available pussy here.
Always

Even nostalgia ain’t what it used to be, eh?
