Star Of Light review

Tucked into a corner on Patpong 2, the Star Of Light bar is not one into which a punter should casually wander. Inside you will find some of the most skilled practitioners of the oral arts in Bangkok, if not Thailand. This is not a bar you visit for a quiet drink.

Unlike Lolita’s, there are no curtains, booths or private rooms. Nor is there a separate, “clean” bar area. Unless you fancy taking your special lady out to the toilet (or paying a barfine to take her to your room), you’ll be indulging - as others do - in the bar itself, out in the open.

This appeals to some more than others, of course. But you didn’t come to Bangkok to be shy, did you? Beer is ฿80 a bottle, and the speciality on offer will cost you ฿700 per lady, on-site. Go on, treat yourself.

    An absolute cracker of bar with full sex or blow-jobs in the bar or in the back washroom area. Or you can bar-fine a lady. Most are 18 to 24 years of age. Some are a little older, but most of them are really lovely and genuine people if you treat them right. FS 100 baht in the bar, but outside of the bar, after paying the bar the 400 baht barfine, you negotiate the price of waht you want with the lady for short or long time. Anal is nor catered for in this bar. But they are up for almost anything else. With customers getting blown in close proximity to you,, be care careful not to sdplash anyone accidently.

    I think you mean 1000 baht in the bar, 100 baht seems just a little cheap :)
    And yes, aim is everything!

    Oooops ! yes,,,,thanks Bangkok Bad Boy, You are right. ‘My apologies.

    FS is 1000 baht in the bar.

    20+ girls work the bar and there are some young crackers amongsat their number who can get any man going.

    Young and old guys go frequently. Tourists, ex-pats, business travellers and it has not been unknown for the occasional woman customer to pay a visit for some oral attention in the bar. The girls are of course open-minded and very tolerant.

    If you find the openness of the bar too much for you, you can always bar-fine the girl or ladies and take them either to a short-time hotel or to your own accommodation.

    Definitely the Ninth Wonder of the World.

    Having only just ‘discovered’ Star of Light about three months ago, I have to say that there is something intoxicating about getting a blow job in the middle of the bar in front of God and everyone. A friend of mine in Australia wrote that there should be bars like this in every city in the world, and that if there were, there would be no more war. Sounds right to me!

    @Bareback: Haven’t gone for FS in the bar myself, but have glimpsed it out of the corner of my eye. Gentleman sits on couch. Young lady straddles him. You can work it out.

    More comfortable is the option to take one (or more) of the young ladies to a nearby short-time hotel.

    Oh, and use a condom, don’t be silly.

    I saw a guy (out of the corner of my eye) about a month ago. She started in his lap, then she went on her back on the bench for about 10 minutes of mish (couldn’t have been comfortable), then they went doggy style. I finished, cleaned up and left and he was still smacking himself violently against her bottom. What a guy! You’d want to be fairly acrobatic and definitely not shy.

    That's what the review pages are for - the general chat pieces tend to tail off after a week or two, but people are always looking for bar information. As long as the reviews are updated with any big changes (which I admit I'm a little sloppy with sometimes), it doesn't matter how old the page is.

    Search for almost any naughty bar in Bangkok and it's got a page on here. No other site can offer that, which is why I set out to build this one :)

  24. 24 Bangkok Bad Boy Aug 10th, 2007 at 7:38 pm

    @Stevie: It's been generously described as a "cupboard". Bar on one wall with 4 or 5 barstools.  Two small sofas with a separating wall face the bar.  One bathroom to the side, for the more shy customers. No gogo poles and no gimmicks.

    Incidentally, I invented the "Star Of Light Racing Game" not too long ago.  You and a buddy wander in, sit cosily side by side on a sofa (for verification purposes), pick a girl, pull your pants down,  and the first/last (make sure you both agree on the rules) to finish pays the bill.

    Aw, shucks. Patpong is a bitch to map, because of the upstairs/downstairs bars.  It was only as I wandered around counting and noting them all that I realised how many I still haven't ventured inside. The map’s not to scale, and I’m sure there are several inaccuracies. Glad it's appreciated though!

    Sorry Bad Boy, but the "Star Of Light Racing Game" has been around longer than my 2 decades in Bangkok. I first visited SOL (Star of Love, it was known as then), in 1988 or 1989. The bar had semi-circular holes cut in it in which the customer could sit up against the counter. Draped over his lap was a green curtain and on the other side of the curtain (and therefore underneath the counter) would be the lady of your choice giving you a BJ. My mate and I would play the racing game, but because of the curtain, it became an honour system. Somehow I never lost, which says a lot about my honour.

    Wow, I'd no idea the bar had been in existence for that long. How much did a session set you back in 1988?

  37. 37 Dexlowe Aug 11th, 2007 at 3:00 pm

    Can't really remember, mate. But in the bars in those days, short time was 300 and long time 500. I think the bar fine was 200. Gives some perspective on today's prices, doesn't it?

    Incidentally, about the name change. A few years back the authorities went around to every bar and checked that the name on their signs outside matched the name on their registration papers. If not — no business for a month. They're so diligent in this country. LOL.

  39. 39 Bangkok Bad Boy Aug 11th, 2007 at 3:04 pm

    Regarding perspective, it does and it doesn't. I bet salaries were substantially lower back in 1988, too, to be fair! In real terms, I don't think we're paying that much more than back in the day. Would be nice to take today's money back to that era though, wouldn't it?

  41. 41 Bangkok Bad Boy Aug 11th, 2007 at 9:21 pm

    My map's simplified, and not to scale, but it's good enough to find the bar. Foodland is set a little further back from the road, which may explain the confusion. The Star of Light is behind a row of open-air beer bars at the Surawong end of Patpong 2. The Trade  Winds bar, next door, has a new neon sign so it's not too tricky to track down.

    I stumbled across SOL yesterday completely by mistake……
    i met my GF after she finished university and she said she wanted to play pool so we hit sala daeng……… we headed into patpong and played a few games in one of the pool bars behind the open air ones opposite Super Queen…… after finishing up we decided we'd go and get some food and headed up the narrow soi then onto the main patpong 2…….

    i noticed a lot of girls outside yabbering away outside 1 bar which is not uncommon, and as the alleyway is narrow my GF walked behind me so i was blocking the girls view of her. as i got in line with the girls they said the customery 'hey sexy man come in' to which was no suprise……… then she said 'have many men inside' - at first i thought it was a gay bar as there is also one down that alley charmingly called 'screw boy' (shuuders) and wearing a tight tshirt, ripped jeans and sporting what has commonly been decribed as 'a gay haircut' i thought they had got me all wrong…… its only when i turned and foolishly said 'sorry girls im not gay' to which all the girls laughed……..i noticed the name of the bar and felt a bit of a prick

    being such a 'seedy' establishment i expected the girls to be pretty shocking looking but was pleasantly suprised some of them were not bad at all

    one footnote which if you read this might kill business and the appeal is as we left the pool bar and started making our way towards there, i noticed the scraggy fernag tout from Super QUeen who looks like he has HIV coming out of there smiling from ear to ear - enjoy guys!

    I absolutely loved this place. I was there in February by myself and had a blast, literally. Wild! I love a touch of exhibitionism. Just one question. My mate and I love doing group and swinging with each others' ladies, sometimes even do each other but that's another story, do you reckon we could do a pig on the spit in the bar?

    The best time to go is probably 11 pm… same girls that were on when you walked by at 8 p.m. but they look a lot better if you have already had several drinks.  Once they start doing what they do, you'll think they're beautiful.  They do it really really well.

  58. 58 Bangkok Bad Boy Sep 23rd, 2007 at 4:28 pm

    There isn't really a bad time to visit Bangkok. October is the end of the rainy season (although we did have floods here in early October last year), so the rain should be calming down at least by then. November is officially the start of tourist season, which may or may not appeal (more girls, but more punters too).

    But hey, most gogo bars have a roof, so no problem, right?  Haven't heard of any specific mass bargirl exodus in October, but they do like to bugger off when there's an extended holiday, like a long weekend. The only public holiday I'm aware of in October is Chulalongkorn Day on Tuesday 23rd.

    I recommend never ever using an escort service.

    Their girls are the same girls you'll find in the bars, but charging double the price. You also have no idea about personality. Hit the bars, and meet the girls in person - you get a much better idea of whether you're going to get on with her, and a cheaper price to boot.

    This time, want to experience the body to body oil massage. which is the best place?

    Star of Light….what a great place!

    It is not for everybody.

    Best way to patronize the place is to just go and spend a few hours there, spread out over a few days. You will quickly figure out which of the goddesses there has your preferred technique in fellatio, and you can get their phone numbers. Call them for take-out. They will come to you. Or, find out when they open up the bar. The girls all take turns opening the bar early, one day a week. On her day, come in around 0830, 0900 AM. Bring a couple of coffees, some pastries, and the newspaper. While she putters around cleaning, getting the place ready to open, you can drink your coffee in peace, and read the paper. When she is ready to rock, you can get your mojo on on couch number two, and be her first customer of the day.

    Good times.

    :)

    I must admit SOL is the best place you can find anywhere. The girls’ technique is excellent. The atmosphere is thrilling (especially if you like some exhibitionism). - And of course they all do full service also bareback if you prefer.
    Go and enjoy !
