New Soi in Karon

As the title says, a new Soi of bars has opened recently in Karon. Went for looksee and although it is quiet and only a handful of bars are open toward the end of the soi, they are all fitted out well and decorated differently to each other.

A few have pool tables and their own toilets. Sofa seeting was a welcome touch too.

Sorry for blurry pic - had to set longer exposure or night.

Where is tha Soi? Looks like the part of Karon that is near the beach road, not the one close to the circle.

I remember that the Karen center, bar scene was almost dead last year, as many bars were closed. I like to take girls from the Kata/Karon area, as they are closer to the place I stay, and don't get "home-sick", like the girls in Patong.

I also never been asked more then 1000 bath LT, which is not the case in Patong, where they start at 2000 and up, last year (that doesn't mean you pay less).

The new Soi is inland from Karon Circle heading toward Wat Karon. It is across the street from the Red Onion Restaurant. Not too active just yet but it has a nice look.

Thanks Pmc. I used to stay behind Wat Karon, I am a bit further now. There was last year, allready one bar open at the corner it seems.

Again, good to have some more choice. In the main area, you quickly know al the girls. Patong girls do not all like to spend their time in Kata/Karon, so if I can find a quity here.... I will think about you.

We can also meet if you are around, I am there end of next week!

It is not really in front Eric. Closer to the circle.

Got a stunner out of there last night. In fact, on the right, till the end of the soi, there were 2, 3 bars, where it was difficult to choose the girls, because they were so well-looking. This doesn't happen very often in the same place.

Note, some of these girls were looking like models, really. But with kind of same attitude. The girl I took, was ok, but I had more passionate girls. But although I certainly can not complain, this one had everything perfect. Long legs, brea*ts to die for a cute little a*s.

But again, maybe not everybody cup of tea, as beauty isn't everything. Tonight I am going back, with my Belgian friend, so I will see. Not more on the subject, because I will be writing trip-reports, and I promised to relief some nice BM s of this.

I'll get the good oil on that new Soi from the Karon based guys. Guaranteed they will know every detail already. I'll check it out personally in January.

I will make a special pasworded page on my site. This for nice guys like you and many others, who just will have to ask me. As some seem to appreciate my stories a lot, and others like to attack me on them, I will post the minimum here and no pictures.

About the soi, went back with my Belgians friends, who were never finishing their mussels and Belgian fries. So we were late.
Late is in Karon 22.30, if you still want to find a decent girl. All the stunners, except a few had vanished. Less girls then the night before on the hole.
And also many Lb's, so good for those who like thm, but they were not fantastic.

Unfortunaly, the girl from the night before was there, and just received the news, that a friend had died in motorbike accident. So crocodile tears all over me. She went to her place ater a while so I finished the night somewhere else, that was also an interesting experience.

Euh Eric, kan niet volgen.

Farang bar, is unknown to me, but I never remember name of bars and even soi. If it is a LB boy bar, naah, did this and done that.
No, I went to Kata. Yestrerday, went to the jazz festival in Karon, and the Soi, was almost empty.

I heard from a friend who has a lady there, that a lot of the girls went away this week, as business was slow.

In karon/Kata the price is still 1000 bath. A lot of the better looking girls want to go to Patong for the season, because they could earn more.

I think in the area Kata/Karon, you can still find decent looking girls, but really stunners, that make your head spin, are harder to find.

Farang Bar, Asia Bar and Phuket bar are the three bars on patak road in the middle section where the road from the beach to patak road is (around soi viking) before you go over the hill and come down to the gasstation again on the kata side.

Don't remember any specific ladyboy bars in kata karon, would say that there is no market for it there

You're either not very observant then, or wilfully ignoring them. Try Crazy Corner in Kata or the so called Karon Center. After midnight, you'll find the pesky things everywhere along the beach road from "the magic roundabout" to the T intersection where you turn off to go to Kata Noi.

Don't ask me how I know these things.

Haha they ignore me as they know they have no chance. I was not speaking of no ladyboys, just about not specific ladyboy bars. Must say never seen Crazy Corner, where in Kata would that be?? probably willingly ignored them haha or they are in a far corner. There are enough ladyboys around, that I know.

In the soi in Karon, there are also a fair amount of LB. The last bar, is LB only.

In karon center, not only on the road, but in the bars, many of them.

I am writing this, when my friends accuse me oif sleeping with one, but I will open a topic about that.
