My FR, Knights of the SB round table,

Date : Friday night

AOPs : Vocal Cafe , Hip Hotel

1. Directions:

i) Taxi: No one knows about Palazzo or Soi Niam Utit. Just mention the more famous one , Emerald Hotel/Ratchada (next to Emanuaelle/Nataree). The Soi is next to it and just walk straight down and you will see this:



ii) Subway : Get off at Hway Hwang

2. Internal Decor :

i. Take the escalator and voila , you will see Vocal Cafe




3. Modus Operandi:

i. Go there around 10 pm . I went there too early and ended up at Poseidon ( another story for a rainy day). The place would close around 3 am

ii. Came back around 11 pm and the scene became alive with gals ( there were more gals then guys)

iii. Quality of girls is around 6/10 -- there are some lookers / SYTs but no stunners

iv. The papasans would bring some girls over and they would take turns to belt out melancholic Thai songs mainly and it's total obligatory for you to reward them with 500 baht flower rings - ignore the hassle. Just do it once for the fun of it..

v. Please note that the girls can move from table to table - unless you make specific request for them to stay on, they are "butterflies"

vi. There's no 1000 baht bar fine as far as I know - I took a girl out for supper after her last singing slot (that's what the LED light on the stage wall is for ) and there was no discussion about cash exchange

vii. It's a pretty tough gig as they rely totally on tips for their income. Times must be really tough as the scene was pretty sparse on a Friday night

viii. The whole billl came up to 3K for 6 gals and plenty of snacks and fruits for around 4 hours. It's definitely a better option than the Coyote bars.

ix. An interesting highlight is the striptease performance

- You get to paste the stars (100 baht ) each on strategic areas on her body

Summary : Worthwhile checking it out if you are done with Nana/Soi Cowboy etc
