Day 4 by ~h

What day is it? I’m loosing track of time. My sleep cycle is still out of whack, still getting up too early. Thanks for all the feedback from you posters the information has been invaluable. I got totally ripped off at that BKK Soapie and I know this because I experienced a real one today.

Testing the Girls (and I don’t mean Algebra). Related: Why do I pay a Bar Fine?

I am frequently asked how often the Big Mango Lady Drink girls undergo HIV testing or more generally how often do bar/gogo girls get tested.

At the Mango we require the girls to be tested every month. Girls can be tested at no charge by a clinic on Suk Soi 22 which also stamps an ID/Test card that is kept by the bar.

Toxic - Sukhumvit Soi 18

Typically when people go nightlife hunting they tend to stick to the same spots. Meaning for clubs you might head out to RCA or Sukhumvit Soi 11 to hit Qbar or Bed and for the naughty nightlife people tend to only think of Nana Plaza, Soi Cowboy, Sukhumvit Soi 33 or Patpong but yet Bangkok is a big city with many a watering hole hidden here and there. So one of the things we hope to bring to the blog is showing you other spots off the beaten path so to say. So here we go. Our first Trip Report.

Day 3 Arrive in Pattaya:
Well I just spent four hours to get to Pattaya and I need some rest before I venture out this evening amongst all these European hooligans, not really my scene. The boys from The Big Mango told me to check out a few Go Go’s they really like. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Life in Bangkok after 1:00am (part 1 of 2)

Ahhh, my first blog entry for the Mango Blog. Nick here, the other owner of the Big Mango Bar. Michael, the better half, set up this great blog on our site and I hope folks will find it useful. I’m not quite the writer Michael is but will try and get the point across.

My first topic has to do with partying after 1:00am in Bangkok. My work schedule is typically 4:00pm to 1:00am as it is for thousands others in the nightlife business. That means it’s dinner time at around 1:30am and party time right after. One problem with that is Bangkok nightlife businesses officially close at 1:00am. Well, this is Thailand and not all is conventional so here is the latest on what to do after 1:00am in the Sukhumvit Soi1-Soi23 area of Bangkok. Of course this can change but will try to keep readers updated occasionally on changes. One very important update here: Nana Plaza now stays open until 2:00am. This is only a week old so will keep you updated on if this continues.
