Papa Sam Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 During lunch hour, there's lots of street food carts on Soi Cowboy these days: Pics from social media Most customers are apparently locals such as construction workers. It's now been 11 days since the reopening of Thailand and one can hardly see a single tourist on Soi Cowboy... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Sam Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 (edited) Soi Cowboy tonight, Wednesday December 1st, first day that "entertainment restaurants" can officially serve alcohol until 11 p.m. and have live music (max. 5 band members and they have to wear masks...). Kozy Kazy (or v.v.), a GG agogo, is looking for diners: Prices: 2500 short time and 5000 long time. And no: I'm not talking about the prices for rare or well-done steaks... By the way: 300 for the bar. From Twitter The Oasis pub on Soi Cowboy has also reopened today: facebook.com/theoasissoicowboy/ The Oasis on Soi Cowboy 3 December 21: Pic source: Twitter I think Oasis, located almost next to Cockatoo and across from Shadow bar, has still the same management as Shadow (lb) and Cockatoo (lb).

Pulci Gorgon Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 If I got it well, either in soi Cow Boy or Nana plaza, bars re-open as restaurants but will still let attendants go out if customers pay a BF. Would you have a list restricted to ladyboys restaurants ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have a list restricted to ladyboys restaurants ? The scene is currently constantly changing. It's been only one day now that "entertainment restaurants" are officially allowed to serve alcohol until 11 p.m. in Bangkok. It's therefore difficult to come up with an up-to-date "ladyboy restaurant" list. If you're looking for ladyboys in a classic bar setting, I would have a look at the following three, in my opinion obvious, options: Why Not? Bar Sukhumvit Soi 4: facebook.com/Whynotbangkok/ Chaos 9 Sukhumvit Soi 4: facebook.com/Chaos9BKK Check-in Bar (CIB) Sukhumvit Soi 10: facebook.com/Check-In-Bar-401617183283119/ All three are pure play ladyboy bars. All three I think have short time rooms on their premises. CIB is SHA certified, I don't know about the other two and I also don't know their current BF prices. If I were looking for p4p ladyboys in a classic bar setting, I would check out the three above mentioned places first. There are, t.m.k. - currently - no pure play ladyboy bars open in the three main red light zones for tourists, i.e. Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy, and Patpong. I don't think any of the main ladyboy show bars, such as Calypso, are open yet. Some smaller transgender show bars, including TV/CD bars, might be open however. Stranger Bar in Bangkok's Silom area for example opened yesterday: facebook.com/TheStrangerBar/ In Soi Cowboy, there are two pure play ladyboy bars: Cockatoo: www.facebook.com/CockatooLadyboyBar/ and Shadow: facebook.com/shadowladyboybarbangkok/ The Facebook pages of both bars are still online, which is hopefully a good sign. But both bars are not open yet. Other areas of interest in Bangkok are Sukhumvit Soi 7 and Sukhumvit Soi 7/1. In both alleys you should be able to find p4p ladyboys. A main freelancer hotspot in Bangkok is in front of the Ruamchit Hotel on the main Sukhumvit Rd. between Soi 13 and Soi 25. And of course you'll also find freelancers (lb and GG) on Soi Nana (Sukhumvit Soi 4). On Sukhumvit Soi 8, ladyboy freelancers were recently spotted in Random Bar. A good site for finding ladyboy freelancers is Thai Friendly: https://www.thaifriendly.com/?ai=1364 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you just walk away without your name going into some sort of database? Don't quote me on this, but I think a positive result from an ATK test will not get your name into an official database because: "Those who test positive for Covid-19 in a rapid antigen test, or ATK, must follow up with a RT-PCR test to confirm the infection. The Thai government only recognizes positive RT-PCR tests as confirmed Covid-19 infections." https://thethaiger.com/coronavirus/what-to-do-if-you-test-positive-for-covid-19-in-thailand It's the obligation of the person who tested positive to proactively inform public health officials at 1330 by phone or their Line official account. "Those who do not report positive results can face a fine of up to 20,000 baht." If you're asymptomatic and younger than 65 years old you might be allowed to self-isolate at home. If you're a tourist, you will have to go to a quarantine hotel at your own expense unless your insurance provider pays for it. But again this is only if your PCR test comes back positive. The publicized cases of foreigners who tested positive for covid and attempted to circumvent the quarantine requirements (the young Israeli and the two Indians come to mind) tested positive after a PCR test, not an ATK test. I'm not sure if the ATK testing site at Soi Cowboy is necessarily run by public health officials but might be organized by the five bars that are currently open there. In Pattaya however, the original three testing sites were set up by the Chon Buri Department of Public Health... https://thethaiger.com/coronavirus/pattaya-sets-up-3-free-covid-19-testing-points-to-access-nightlife In this video from an ATK testing site in Pattaya, I can't see anyone entering any data into a computer: Same at this ATK testing site on Walking Street: In this video from the same place, I also can't see anyone noting the names of those getting tested: So my wild guess is that, no, your positive ATK test result (in Bangkok) will not appear in any official database. However, what happens if the BiB want to see the test results, like here in Pattaya: could be a different story... If you do a PCR test and report the positive test result to the health officials then there's data stored in official databases.

Dan Miller Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Visited Soi Cowboy 2 weeks ago. I guess they're still 'recovering'. Places like Crazy House, Baccara and Tilac were still closed. Other venues were open for drinks outside, but nothing much happening inside. Didn't see a single gogo dance in the whole Soi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Miller Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Maybe good to give here a small update, since my last comment already > a year ago. Soi Cowboy has absolutely returned back to the glory days. Visited last June, and all bars seemed to be open and in full swing. Had a drink at both ladyboy bars (Cockatoo and Shadow), and the line-up at both places looks better than I've ever seen before! A descent amount of girls continuously on stage (still little lacking motivation to actually dance), but certainly nice to look at. Too bad the 'pushing' for drinks and lady-drinks didn't change over the years, kinda turn-off for me. But all in all ... certainly worth a walk-through when visiting BKK. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulci Gorgon Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Great again. It seems we're going to be able to provide a complete list and even map of ladyboy bars in Bangkok (if you post later about Silom). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Miller Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Afraid I won't be able to provide any info aboit Silom. Too lazy to go around when in BKK, so basically don't leave lower Sukhumvit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulci Gorgon Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Rxpharm also posted about Bangkok a few months ago. One of these days, I would like to find the time to compile a summary of the bars still in activity in Bangkok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't measure itself with lounge bars like Cindy's or CIB, but it's quite okay to go for a drink. Been there several times over the years. Girls I would describe like average looking, absolutely not shy and they'll be begging for drinks quite quickly. When you accept, you'll enjoy their company very much hehe. Never took one of the girls from meeting bar out though ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulci Gorgon Posted July 12, 2023 Share Posted July 12, 2023 That's a great find. Is this map current? I noticed a few bars about which I have never read anything before. Are they all ladyboys bars ? (Or mixed bar or GG bars ?). I think I could use it to a post in my geography of ladyboys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya is missing Aom Bar on Soi 7, Warm Up and Spot on Soi Boomerang, Flamingo in Pratumnak, M&M in Naklua, and Ray Bar in Jomtien. Maybe more, I don't get out of my neighborhood much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
