Suzie Wong (not rated)

Latest : Nude shows (of the lesbian show variety) and topless dancing seem to prevail nowadays, though not on all days. Member only club according to notice outside the bar (hopefully you know the meaning of this, no problem for Caucasians and Japanese to get in)

Suzie Wong seems to have developed in one of the most busy bars at Soi Cowboy. We visited one monday night and the place was quite full (on what usually is a quiet day for bars). They seem to have ample supply of girls on stage. We are not sure if this is part of the attraction, but Suzie Wong is one of a few (the only?) bars at Soi Cowboy to employ katoeys as serving staff. Often nude shows of the lesbian variety are offered. There is not much subtlety involved, just spread open activity. Possibly any additional fines that have to be paid for breaking the law are covered by recent price hikes.

Suzie Wong is located in the middle of Soi Cowboy on the right side when entering from Asoke road. It is directly opposite to the Dollhouse bar.
Suzie Wong has been around for ages at the present location, but we can speak of a relatively new bar, since management and layout of the bar have been substantially altered a few years ago. It was a very successful bar years ago, but the change is quite welcome, since over the preceding years it had clearly deteriorated into a dump. The present managers/owners are the same people that run Playskool bar at Nana Plaza and Sheba's at Soi Cowboy.

So, Suzie Wong has been remodelled. There is a central longitudinal stage as before, with barstools around, and two rows of sofas on both sides. The barstools are not moveable, which is somewhat uncomfortable, and I noticed people somewhat avoiding sitting on them, possibly trying to avoid bodily contact with other customers.

Unfortunately, the management of Suzie Wong found it opportune to raise prices recently to the highest on Soi Cowboy. You can now have a beer or short drink at 130 baht.

When walking out, watch out not to bump into the wooden doors, that for some reason are carefully watched, and tend to be closed hidden behind a curtain.
