Soi 33 used to have an air of exclusivity about it but since the middle of 2001, quite a few new bars are opening up and not all of them are up to the same standards as the original bunch of bars. On top of this, there are bars like Blu Bar BQ which do not have the high prices after 9:00 PM, but rather charge regular prices for drinks all night. It will be interesting to see how things develop. There is a niche in the market for bars such as those in soi 33, but if the standards drop too much, soi 33 customers will either fall back into the regular farang gogo scene or move over to the even more expensive Thai hostess bars. At times it feels as if there are the genuine soi 33 bars and a few others which are impostors.
Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Remember that there are some bars that actually have short-time rooms on the premises. I've never used one as the stories of them changing the sheets once a month don't help in making these rooms appeal to me - besides, it makes the whole experience a bit too much like a wham-bam-thank-you-mam type thing and sounds to me that it is not too dis-similar from prostitution in the West - not my idea of fun. Some classic stories used to do the rounds about short time hotels with peep holes in them where people would be watching as you and your hired friend would get down and dirty. A certain bar in Soi Cowboy that was renovated not to long ago used to have a whole camera and recorder set up and the rumour is that literally hundreds of people were recorded! At Panthip Plaza, there are video CDs for sale from some of these types of concealed cameras and they really are horrible.
