Haven't been for six months, but Bed Supper Club (26 Sukhumvit Soi 11) and my favourite, Tunnel (Soi 5 Lang Suan) are both great. Both are one notch above Q-bar imho.

Don't know about Narcissus (112 Sukhumvit Soi 23) these days, but it could possibly be worth checking out also.

You could go hit the RCA clubs. 808 is new.

I've been informed it is basically a very high end and pricey Pink Lady.

I went to The Pent in March. Here's a writeup from the Big Mango bar owners' website, and related comments:

The Pent - Bangkok, Thailand

Gentleman/coyote clubs seem to be all the rage these days in Bangkok, although there was a hiccup in their popularity last month when early closings were being enforced. I think that is over with now though.

So what is the TanMan review then?

TanMan · #8 16-05-2008, 21:53

The coyote girls/hostesses were extremely pretty and their English is excellent. They are there to work and no barfine is possible from what I could tell. If you live in Bangkok or have longevity there, then it IS possible to get phone numbers though for behind the scenes liasions. I went with a member and so I was told that.

The girls were also quite young, mostly uni girls and graduates with day time jobs wanting to dance and have fun while making some extra cash. It is not at all a hard core place (zero gogo atmosphere there), but more of a looksee type place. Most clentele were Asians (rich Thais). It can be an expensive night for sure, but it is a great change up on a night out.

If I lived in Bangkok, I would buy a membership, but go only once per month if that. It's a "different" kind of experience, and hard to describe... Not a gogo, not a beer bar, not a soapie, not a FL disco, not a beergarden, etc. It is just "different", but it completes the portfolio of places that are currently available to go to in Bangkok. It is a perfect example of why Bangkok nightlife blows away the rest of Thailand

I'm gonna guess that something similar will hit Phuket in due time as someone tries a similar formula in Patong or Phuket Town (or maybe not due to the lack of universities/office jobs)...

At the end of the day, it is a place worth visiting at least once for all...

sounds more like a place for single guys, not couples though??
or do you think couples woudl ahve fun there too?

Probably not designed for couples, you're right. That is definately not their target market, but it is still a fun place. However, depending on how open-minded your girl is, she could have a grand time there. Maybe visit for an hour (after 11:00PM), but try somewhere else if the place doesn't suit the both of you...

I can only speak from a single man's point of view, so I could be terribly wrong about her enjoying herself... but, it couldn't hurt to try it once IMO...

she is fine with going to go-gos for a little while, but only if they have routine type shows

thing is i may be with my boss and his wife, thats why i was asking

thanks for info, though

If you are looking for something different head upto RCA.

Route 66 and slim/fix.....I have been a few times and the place(RCA) is good. (you can sit outside at most place's).There are a few more clubs which I will be checking out on my next visit.

It is a high % if Thai's but have always felt welcome.

Hope this helps.
