Fantasia

[Nicke]

For the first time I had the opportunity to visit myself.

Its a cabaret bar, with a fish bowl to choose from if you are into that. You can also choose one of the coyotee girls dancing early evening, they were the best selection I think.

Beers priced at 300 baht, barfining a girl is 3500-5000 baht (All included). I dont know the price for the drinks the girls drink while sitting with you.

Its a nice and different entertainment night out. But the guy who paid for us tonight paid 20,000 baht. Its mostly asians or Thai business people there. I just saw one or two other farangs while being there tonight.

IMHO the quality of girls in general is better in Patong and a lot cheaper, although they have some stunners in there. So the higher price is a cost of the entertainment, which may suit us once or twice, but then you may get bored of it. Its a classy and nice place and worth a try atleast once I think.

I was not allowed to take any photos.

Interesting Nicke....never been myself but nerver really had the desire....been to a couple of places like this in Patts but to me they are like an expensive and upmarket version of the standard gogo...and agree the quality of the gals is still hit + miss in these places

I've been there 4-5 times now.
So far as Thai standards go, it is an expensive place for a night out.
I like the cabaret show & the big brass band, it makes for good entertainment & is a welcome change to get away from Bangla for a night.
The trick is, not to get there to early cos the cost of beers add up...From memory, they have a show that starts at 10.30pm.

I have never got a BG from there, but some mates of mine have & ST'd em upstairs in the adjoining hotel rooms.....All was good I was told.

The first time I went there, I couldn't believe how many stunners were in the fish bowl area.
I kinda made a liar of myself after telling a few mates how stunning they were, so they decided to tag along with me one night, to see what all the fuss was about.
The night they came over with me.......All the stunners had gone?????
Perhaps they were snapped up earlier in the night?????....Who knows?
The other times I have gone, I can say it's hit & miss.

The mamas/managers can be a bit pushy too....often coming over to your table asking if you'd like a BG to come out & sit with you for company.
The BG's are available to sit with you for a fee.....I cannot remember whether it's 250b or 500b per hour?
I just tell the mamas, I MAY get a lady after the show, I'm right for now, thanks.

Like Nicke said...I reckon the place is worth a visit at least once....More if ya like it.

Lady company fee is 250 Bt/hour and LD IIRC were 350 Bt!

The fish bowl held ~ 25 girls and when I was there none was a 'stunner' - in the front they had the uni student hottie type which cost even more and some were friendly/cute but perhaps bad timing - nothing in the fish bowl did it for me.

Show was well done - but really this place is geared for the high end asian guy, and while no bad feeling being there and was an interesting 'change' from the Patong scene - not really value for money, Re drinks, company costs.

I'm totally unfamiliar.

Blew me out there seeing TG`s who just look like your average run of the mill BG singing and dancing.
Think it`s mainly for the Japenese/Asian market.

20K! Jeepers! Just working that out for my budget here. Rent for the month, cleaning, laundry (Less my bigs which I did in the sink and hung out in front of the Germans apartment for a laugh) a couple of nights out, one LT, electricity and a small can of lemonade.

Why don't I know these 20K a night people? S'not fair!

I first went there about 3 years ago and even dated a girl from there for about 6 months. The best time to find the stunners is early evening around 7:30 pm before they're scooped up. I've been there when a bus full of Japanese tourists pulled up and literally would take 20-30 girls at a time!!!! Sometimes they even empty the place. They charge them an extra 2,000 bht more plus the driver gets a cut from them.

I have found the quality to be MUCH higher than Patong BG's but assuredly at a higher price. They are also of a little different mentality then the typical BG (hope I'm not offending anyone as I am talking in generalities).

The hostesses can be a little pushy but if you just sternly tell them to relax then they do. It is well worth the visit if you can afford the extra dime.

Before I opened this thread I thought it was about Fantasea.
At FantaSea, where I went, this was the closest I saw to a fishbowl:

Went a couple of times a few years back.. Always struck me as expensive and I never bar fined from there tho when I went I thought the quality of girls was high..

A buddy used to knock about with a girl from there who was happy enough with a grand a night when she didnt go to work.. 4+ if she was at work ?!?!?

I remember reading a post that quoted a "lady" from such a club in Phuket Town. Maybe the same club??? Anyway the jist was, that the lady liked working there because the Japanese guys would give big money (4K or 5K per night). And more often than not, all they wanted was a "strip tease" show, that they would w@nk off to. 55555

Was probably mine. I posted that there were some of the girls from Fantasia in Taipan one night on a night off. I had one of them come stay the night with me. I asked her why she didn't come to work in the gogos in Patong where all the farangs were but she said they make a lot of money in Fantasia. Customers are mainly Japanese; Korean and Taiwanese and re: the w@nking off, they will sometimes get 5000baht just to do a strip and play with themselves while the Asian guy w@nks himself off and doesn't even touch her.

I can barely remember what she looked like but I remember her name!...Champagne!!

Chatting with the 'Lurker' the other night. Aussie punter, the hotel (Well known Beach front one) wanted 3K 'Joiners Fee', which he happily paid. She (Tongue in cheek) asked for 3K and got it and he just wanted a sleep with her. Fair enough but I had problems explaining it all to the 'Lurker' and prolly the last time I ever see her in the bedroom for a thousand again!!!!

Flamin' Gala!!!

Don`t worry D,one of your fellow countrymen still holds the record for giving a BG a ridiculous amount of money for boom boom.

Not bothered about the nationality Lew, 3K Joiners + 300 BF + 3K for a kip! Even the 'Lurker' found it a bit weird. Anyway.....................Who?
