OK I really like AngelWitch in Pattaya, I am not going to go into the reasons why, but I do like it. It seemed natural when i came to Bangkok, that I tried their original establishment in Nana, so I did.
First impressions it's that its a lot smaller, I would guess its no bigger than Playskool in Patong , or whatever its called now. I went in there, and was served quickly enough. Small stage, 10 - 12 girls doing the Nana Shuffle ( a version of the Pattaya and Patong shuffles) but the girls were pretty, I reckon a whole lot better than the girls in Pattaya. So the Mamasan comes over and sits down next to me and starts chatting. We were talking about the difference between AW in BKK and Pattaya. She admited that the one in BKK was smaller and the show was different...
After a few tunes the girls on the stage change, and the Mamasan calls over a girl called Baa, very pretty southern Thai looks, but she says she is from Isaan. We are getting on great so I buy her a drink.
Five minutes later she says she has to go and dance. WHOA, hang on, I've just bought you a drink, and now you have to go and dance?????? Not good form, I think. So anyway, I think to myself "be cool, and order yourself another drink" So I try and attract a waitresses attention, and she looks straight through me! WTF? I want a beer and you are looking straight at me; what do you think I am waving this (empty) bottle around for? So I think "OK pay the bill and leave" As soon as I pick up the check bin bucket, the waitress is over in a flash to take my money. OK she brings back the change in coins, and I pick up them all up - no tip for anyone. Som nam na!
Outside was the mamasan, and I told her what I thought of the service, and she agreed that something needed to be done.
It appears that the place is for sale - i saw it advertised in the gents toilets in their club in pattaya. I have it from a reliable source (someone I met in a bar) that the owner used to have a thing going with a transvestite called Pim, in whose name the club is. Although he (the other guy, not Pim) has some legal entitlement. The owner, now, has a new wife. He wants out, so he is asking 55M baht. Rather a lot, IMHO. I don't see people rushing to his door.
I actually feel sorry for the girls who work there. Baa seemed really nice, but surely they can't be so short of staff that if a girl is drinking with a customer she has t go back on the stage.
