Its funny how a person likes one bar or club. I think it is just familiarity. I used to go to the Den, got to know the girls and had a lot of fun. When I tried other places I didn't know anyone and it was not the same. There were a couple of the popular clubs that I tried, but I could not handle the smoke in them.
Hi Craigh, you are spot on, we all creatures of habit, and have "go to" places, but its always good to check out the odd new one, even just for one beer. I understand the smoking thing, i used to smoke, the smaller bars with low ceilings can be bad, some of the bigger ones are ok, Heaven Above on Soi Boomerang is a great club and they are Non smoking, Sugar Sugar agogo on the corner of LK Metro is non smoking too, both are doing very good business.
Great video Dean👍 It’s was good going down memory lane with Dean, a guy who really knows the Soi well. I’m told Sweat Anita’s bar has now been sold so I can now walk down that Soi again 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Deek, i think that Sweet Alita is one of the oldest bars on the Soi, saw her the other morning drinking with a few customers at 8AM , not sure it she has sold
@@PattayaInPieces thanks mate I stayed on that st in march coming back next march it will be good to see the changes new bars etc when I was there the St was 2 ways now it's one way march isn't to far away so I'm getting excited 😎
ChaowSoi was owned by a Scottish guy who sold it a couple of years ago - it was renovated and is called Dinky's now. One of the main cooks (Ann) continued to work there - she's been around for 15 years++
Pothole is such a destination, I have missed other good stuff around it. For instance, I knew about the castle & missed it completely. Not sure I am brave enough though 555. Another great video
Great vlog but I will disagree that the Buzz In bar is the busiest, I see many other bars and my favorite, which I wont mention, have many more punters when I slip by!🤭
Hi, its impossible to say which is the busiest in terms of customer numbers and takings, and of course the different sizes of the bars is a factor, but lots of bars are doing very well, overall i think for consistancy Buzzin has it. Customers all day everyday.
Used go to the family bar and nui's beautiful massage-best and cheapest full service around. You would definitely remember mazy who i believe is working at the buzzin.
Excellent Vlog there Dean. Its good to see the Dive Bar is still going strong. I popped in there last year and had a good night. Soi Pothole is great value and allot of fun. Also you can sure find a few diamonds on the Soi that could land a job in a Gogo! Wonder if you will look to open another bar Dean or are those days over?
Hi Brad, yes I should have mentioned the prices, all very fair on the Soi, and i have notices more diamonds in the rough arriving now that we are approaching high season.
Hi Ralph, so many to choose, but if i pick 3 in central Pattaya, Babylon, Maggie Mays on Chaiyapoon, and i recon Kings club is good fun. If you are at Babylon, (Soi Bongkot ) Soi BongKot 8 is just around the corner, there are about 10 gents clubs in a row, it can be hit and miss, but Sin Club and Manuya are usually good. I'll do a vid on them in the future
So sad that Canterberry Tales closed. Before my first visit to Pattaya I use to watch RUclips videos and Canterberry Tales was in many of them. Such a shame...
Hi Jeff, so many reasons why bars change, i think the main reasons for westerners selling or leaving is they are not making the money they hoped for, especially considering the hours and stress involved in running a bar. so i think you are spot on.
Enjoyed that Dean. Nothing remainder the same😂 but in a good way. Last trip I was in thd wan bar most nights then mao deep. Both good. Had some food in dinkys. Had a mate staying there 650bht a night he loves it. So much so he's back again in november. I think pothole has got something for everybody's taste. Not long now, for me December 🎉🎉🎉🎉 keep the vids coming
Hi Andrew, i agree, i think Pothole possibly has the most variety of any Soi. 650 is a great price room a t Dinky's, i hope it does not go up too much in the high season
@PattayaInPieces Gareth stays twice a year so maybe they sort him out. I'm staying in a condo at the centara this time. Keep the vids coming. I stayed at the debua due to your vid about it. Cheers Dean
Hi Andrew, it annoys me when they jack up the prices for high season, but i guess they can, i recently found a decent room for a friend at Pace residence on soi Boomerang for only 650 a night
Important info ! In a few months, I will be at the High5 Guesthouse. Yes, I have stayed at the Hilton but this time my Baht will go towards the nightlife, not acomadations.
Hi, I can't recall anyone staying there and telling me about it, but its a nice bar, so im sure it will be a good experience, and a very short walk home at the end of the night !!
Hi Marc, I helped out with Milf bar after covid but never owned it, Sold Dive bar because i got a good offer, but mainly because i was working all the hours and could feel my health starting to suffer. I realised im not as young and fit as i used to be!
Thats incredible, i don't know much about massage parlours, but i think the girl takes 50% of the fee, and then can make her own "extras" but maybe Risa has a different formula
Cocos used to be called Chow Soy which was mainly an eating place as is Cocos now with very little modification to layout or size. It is more of just a name change. Some of the staff are the same just a different owner.
Amazing how Oasis Agogo went through so many high-cost décor changes (similar to where Matador now is on Buakhao). So many clever clogs wanting to IMPOSE their vision rather than researching the market. Same could be said of the lunacy of Soi 6.
Hi Andrew, seems so long ago Oasis was there, I think covid was the final straw, also Witherpoons leaving the site next door made it possible to have a big night club, I've never been in JUJU club, but i hear its going ok
I like a massage now and then, but it seems there is too much choice still. Crazy how a massage street turned into a bar street, I've seen the transformation since about 2019.
I'm very impressed, you really know all there is to know about these bars/clubs. Well done!!
Hi Pat, I don't think I'll ever know everything! But i will keep trying to find out!
Love your channel. Love your genuine wonderful personality and candor. Please don't stop the great videos.
Hi, such a nice thing for me to hear, i will certainly be doing more vids
Great little catch up there, always head down this road for food... honest!!
Hi Cliff, good to hear you didn't go hungry ! haha!
Hey Dean! I was a regular at the Dive bar ... 2 yrs back..2022 x'mas.... but good to see you active on you tube again! Cheers!!!🎉
Hi, the dive bar was going great at that time, it was a very busy Christmas and high season! Thanks for finding the channel
Thanks mate, good informative stuff as always, can't wait to get back there
Hi, hope you can get back here soon
Thanks for the update! If I find Buzzin' boring then a lot of other options in the soi
Hi, yes, i always say that every bar can have an off day or a flat period, that's the beauty of Pattaya, only a few steps away from the next spot!
Very good straight forward video u filmed .really shows how quickly the bars change hands ..
Hi Allan, yes, its scary how fast bars disappear, in many cases along with somebodys' hopes and dreams
@@PattayaInPieces .bet there's lots loose a ton of money on them bars .thanks for the reply.
Brilliant soi mate had many a great night there.
Hi Samuel, good to hear, hope you many more great nights there too
good work mate keep them coming
Hi Geoffery, will do
Have to love the sound of the angle grinders in low season when the new batch of falangs come with there shiny new girlfriend and bar.😊
Hi Michael, thats true, the builders are never short of work here!
one of my fav sois lots to do there bars and gents clubs I'm excited to see the new OXO gents club!
Hi, i have high hopes, the whole Soi benefits when good new venues pop up
Thanks for the update Dean. A few changes in just 4 months. They don't hang about on that Soi!
Hi Dave, it never stops amazing me, things seem to change almost overnight sometimes
Very helpful video going to be out there in 2 weeks so will investigate Soi Pothiole, thanks
Watch your step, 😅
Hi Harry, excellent, i'm sure will have a great time
OXO Gents Club... any relationship with the OXO club on Walking Street ?
Hi, I don't think so, it opened a couple of days ago, I will check it out soon
@@PattayaInPieces copy that
Great video bro. Thanks
cheers Steve, thx for watching

Good one Dean. I still recall your tour a couple of years ago, and made a beeline to Sou Pothole when I came on Holiday.
Looks good.
Hi Greg, thanks, some people prefer soi 6 or 7, i've always enjoyed Pothole
Great video Dean👍
It’s was good going down memory lane with Dean, a guy who really knows the Soi well.
I’m told Sweat Anita’s bar has now been sold so I can now walk down that Soi again 🤣🤣🤣

A great video it would be great if you could do a similar video on soi honey 🍯 that is a happening st it would be much appreciated 😊
Hi John, I've got one planned!!

I hope March comes round quickly for you
Great video Dean. Thanks for the info.
Hi Adrian, thanks for watching, glad it was helpful
Nice one Dean,all our yesterday's.
Hi Dave, everyday something new here!
Is the Chinese restaurant still there……opposite the Triangle bar ?
Sadly it went and i think became dinky's , they do food but if you fancy chinese, Kung's on Soi Lenkee has an extensive chinese menu
ChaowSoi was owned by a Scottish guy who sold it a couple of years ago - it was renovated and is called Dinky's now. One of the main cooks (Ann) continued to work there - she's been around for 15 years++
Pothole is such a destination, I have missed other good stuff around it. For instance, I knew about the castle & missed it completely. Not sure I am brave enough though 555. Another great video
Hi, unless you are into the Castle stuff, I would recommend Gents Clubs for fun and value
Great vlog but I will disagree that the Buzz In bar is the busiest, I see many other bars and my favorite, which I wont mention, have many more punters when I slip by!🤭
It's Buzzin bar by far. He has like 80K youtube subscribers. The place is slammed everyday. Even through low season.
Prefer Maggie May to Buzzin.
Nonsense@@_paper_chase_
Hi, its impossible to say which is the busiest in terms of customer numbers and takings, and of course the different sizes of the bars is a factor, but lots of bars are doing very well, overall i think for consistancy Buzzin has it. Customers all day everyday.
I love them both, often i go Buzzin first and Maggies next!
Used go to the family bar and nui's beautiful massage-best and cheapest full service around.
You would definitely remember mazy who i believe is working at the buzzin.
Hi, Mayzy is still around, but i haven't seen her at Buzzin lately.
June’s bar is gone? So sad. Where is she now?
I wish i knew, just checked the Fb, no posts since April
the vault , was that your other bar
Yes, i renovated it, but sold it on before it opened, the new guys finished it off, its very nice inside, its Retro bar now
Excellent Vlog there Dean. Its good to see the Dive Bar is still going strong. I popped in there last year and had a good night. Soi Pothole is great value and allot of fun. Also you can sure find a few diamonds on the Soi that could land a job in a Gogo! Wonder if you will look to open another bar Dean or are those days over?
Hi Brad, yes I should have mentioned the prices, all very fair on the Soi, and i have notices more diamonds in the rough arriving now that we are approaching high season.
Dean. Can you recommend the top 3 GC for first timer 3 day stay in Pattaya?
Hi Ralph, so many to choose, but if i pick 3 in central Pattaya, Babylon, Maggie Mays on Chaiyapoon, and i recon Kings club is good fun.
If you are at Babylon, (Soi Bongkot ) Soi BongKot 8 is just around the corner, there are about 10 gents clubs in a row, it can be hit and miss, but Sin Club and Manuya are usually good.
I'll do a vid on them in the future
La Poste on Soi Lengkee has to be in the Top 3...!
You are at the top of your game when it comes to filming cables 😅
I know! Can't believe the wire to the sound receiver popped up and into the picture
About 14 years ago i had a session up stairs at the old barbie bar. Im still getting over it 555
Hi Ray, that's the great thing about Pattaya, the best place to make memories that you'll never forget !
@@PattayaInPieces exactly I can still remember the first time I went in 89 like yesterday.
that's true, you never forget the first night / holiday here, mine was a week of madness!!
So sad that Canterberry Tales closed. Before my first visit to Pattaya I use to watch RUclips videos and Canterberry Tales was in many of them. Such a shame...
He moved his shop to Soi Bongkot , i'm not sure if it is still open because i saw that he was trying to sell because of ill health
@@PattayaInPieces Dave is still trying to sell i believe, lovely guy
Did I miss High Rollers?
I did 😂😅😂
I did mention High Rollers, still going well
wow, I would not be able to remember all the places, still like the soi, although I never went to all the bars, just some
I've been here 7 years now, there are some bars around town that have changed 4 or 5 times in that time, it never stops!
I'd say more than 30% have changed. I wonder how many fail and how many just close because the owners get tired or don't make as much as they hoped?
Hi Jeff, so many reasons why bars change, i think the main reasons for westerners selling or leaving is they are not making the money they hoped for, especially considering the hours and stress involved in running a bar. so i think you are spot on.

Good info vid.
Any news on how 'Triangle Steves' Mrs is doing?
Poo is fighting the good fight! Remain positive and supportive 😉
I havn't spoken to Steve in ages, I hope his Mrs is ok
Important info ! In a few months, I will be at the High5 Guesthouse. Yes, I have stayed at the Hilton but this time my Baht will go towards the nightlife, not acomadations.
I don't feel that this is important info
Hi, I can't recall anyone staying there and telling me about it, but its a nice bar, so im sure it will be a good experience, and a very short walk home at the end of the night !!
didnt you run dive bar and milf bar? why did you sell them?
Hi Marc, I helped out with Milf bar after covid but never owned it,
Sold Dive bar because i got a good offer, but mainly because i was working all the hours and could feel my health starting to suffer.
I realised im not as young and fit as i used to be!
Sea Side still going. Used to be go to place for english wanting traditional food. First went there 97
Must be the longest survivor on pothole
Hi Andrew, wow, i didn't know it was that old, there can't have been much else apart from massage and shops back then on the Soi
Thanks... obviously kooks better at night lol ..
Hi Peter, it does, i wish i could show more of the night stuff, but You Tube will not allow anything too risky, i'm testing the boundaries!
the poon has come a long way for the better
Hi, yes, pretty amazing changes over the last 4 or 5 years, but good that a few of the old style massages are still there, gives the soi variety
Thought the street were renovated meanwhile but nothing happened
Yes, they have had a couple of goes at it, it is not too bad at the moment.
Risa is up to 13 or 14 shops now. Successful because they're good😊
Yes, expanding rapidly, they are good, she has a winning formula
"The real money is made in hotels, when customers pay 500 for take out". Risa (herself, I know her.)
@@PattayaInPieces who is risa?
Its a chain of massage shops, there are a few on Soi Baukhao
Ah, that makes a lot of sense, good business
No weeds shops amazing😅
Yes! must be one of the only Soi's that doesn't
Risa has 14 massage places and have been told he is opening another 4 by the end of the year
Thats incredible, i don't know much about massage parlours, but i think the girl takes 50% of the fee, and then can make her own "extras" but maybe Risa has a different formula
sober bar next to Anzac bar used to be NYC CLUB
Yes, that was there for many years
Where has Lolita's gone now
Hi, Mark, reopened briefly after covid, then shut and became AK Bar.
Same service or change do you know @@PattayaInPieces
I'm pretty sure they just vanished, a few bars on Soi Bongkot 8 offer similar service!
For the same service, i would suggest Purple Club on Soi Bongkot 8, but most gents clubs will provide !!!
Cocos used to be called Chow Soy which was mainly an eating place as is Cocos now with very little modification to layout or size. It is more of just a name change. Some of the staff are the same just a different owner.
Not sure, was Chow Soy what is now Dinkys?
I know Amon bar was at least 2 parts of what became Coco before she moved down the road.
Surely Nui's book spot is the busiest place on that Soi 🤣
I think its great that a bookshop can double up as a naughty massage! Only in Pattaya!
Chaiyapoom not Chaiyapoon. Great video!
Hi, I'm pretty sure its poon, but who really knows!
@@PattayaInPieces It's poom, it's the name of a province in Thailand en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaiyaphum_province
I"ve been to Chaiyaphum province, very nice city centre
POTHOLE BAR was originally that boys karaoke bar ... forgot the name
It was called HOTMAN!! It was already shut and derelict when i started the Dive Bar, but the sign was still up
What do you mean girl bar Delrioys Bar 2 lesbo bar😅
Amazing how Oasis Agogo went through so many high-cost décor changes (similar to where Matador now is on Buakhao).
So many clever clogs wanting to IMPOSE their vision rather than researching the market.
Same could be said of the lunacy of Soi 6.
Hi Andrew, seems so long ago Oasis was there, I think covid was the final straw, also Witherpoons leaving the site next door made it possible to have a big night club, I've never been in JUJU club, but i hear its going ok
Use to love the Oasis Champagne and office
They really need to put some real concrete on that pothole street. Too expensive to do... I figure.
Hi, the problem is that some of the road is privately owned, so there is an ongoing dispute between them and local government
Im going in mid november,i hope it will be a bit busier,i herd its very quite @ the moment
It has been quiet through September, starting to pick up now.
with ur glasses on u look like rishi sunak i tell ya
I think i could have done a better job than him!!
DAM DAM BAR ORIGINALLY WAS THE SWAN BAR
Number one fan 😂😂
as I went past last holiday they had the biggest girls, if you are into that ^^
Yes, well remembered, Aussie bar, i did go there once
Some guys must be!!

Maggie, Dive and Pit Stop were very disappointing
Hi Rick, im suprised Maggie was disappointing, perhaps just a bad day for them , it can happen which is why it always worth having a plan B and
C !
9:59 - Slutz Poon
Never opened, lets hope this new one OXO opens soon and is good
I like a massage now and then, but it seems there is too much choice still. Crazy how a massage street turned into a bar street, I've seen the transformation since about 2019.
Yes, it really accelerated just before and after covid, combination of less expensive rents and the good location.
OXO club is a strange name
Hi Colin, I was wondering if it is OXO which makes us think of gravy, or O. X .O .
I will find out when they open
