This
shows links to all known Gogo Bar sites and only a listing for those who do not
have a website. Some bars may even have two web sites!
There
are a few links included, but they rely on the customers or bars giving us the
URLs. A small problem is caused that when a bar starts, they publicise it, but
when it closes, no-one can be bothered to get it deleted. Also ISPs close
websites as people change e-mail addresses and usually ISPs at the same time,
so open bars then lose their web space.
Some are very business orientated, while others are tourist/expat views about Pattaya. We will show other links below, when we come come across them. Note that they are the opinions of those people and do not reflex the views of The Pattaya Gogo Guide publishers.
A2ZPATTAYA.COM is exactly
what it says. It lists everything you could ever want and some things you never
thought about. Months in the planning, they did in depth research to give you
the best information base around Pattaya and the surrounding area. You can
trawl the information for FREE, or subscribe and get your own webpage and email
service. If you are an Expat who wants to find a plumber or a tourist who wants
a taxi from the airport, this is the place to try. They even list more hotel
rooms than the Tourist Authority of Thailand has counted.
PATTAYACITY.COM. The
original and possibly the best web site on Pattaya. Commercially run and covers
almost everything from shops / hotels to a "building by building" street map of
the main tourist areas of Pattaya
PATTAYA-AT-NIGHT.COM. A good
general nightlife web site. It has almost daily updates and is a very good
source of information. The running newscast is very informative. Give it a try
- you will not be disappointed.
MEN PARADISE PATTAYA. Well
designed, this is a small and interesting site is mostly in German, but enough
content for English speaking people to enjoy.
THE FREELANCER BAR. An interesting site hosted by
The Freelancer Bar on Walking Street, South Pattaya.
PATTAYANET.COM. Very nice, clean looking and well
laid out site. Even offers Email accounts.

Tequila Reef Cantina, Soi 7. For the best Margarita's

Vinai Place is a small and
friendly apartment block just down the Soi beside Buffalo Bar on Third Road.
The new Xzyte Disco is less than 10 minutes walk away. A few days or few weeks,
this is a good place to stay. Their monthly rates are some of the best in
town.

Indian food? Well, join the Pattaya Sports Club and get good discounts from
places all over the city and around. Check out their site for more

We showed this site as we thought it was genuine,
but the the site http://www.pattayascam.com says
otherwise. Judge for yourself! Their office in pattaya is closed and the signs
all taken down at Tip Top building on Third Road. [updated 20-11-2004]
Pattaya Plaza. The website is the "New kid on the
Block" but is already the most comprehensive site about Pattaya. It is also
easy to find your way round. Have a look round, it is well worth the time, as
you will find so much to interest you, whatever you are looking for. Their
nightlife section is covered under the URL

BANGKOKBOB.NET
For something further afield from Pattaya, try Bangkok Bob's site. A very
full coverage from Micro Breweries to up-market clubs in Soi 33. Even a section
on the Skytrain. Too much to list here - Go look for yourself.
STICKMAN's GUIDE TO BANGKOK. This is the best text
only site with everything you want to know about Bangkok nightscene. Written by
an expat who lives there, it describes every entertainment area in Bangkok and
things to watch out for. It may not look jazzy, but makes up for that with
content. I suggest you read off-line as some headings are the equivalent of
100+ pages of A4.
This was on-line before
unpublished, but now available in print at DCO. It is one of Stephen Leather's
books, called "Private Dancer". A very good book, 377 pages long. It is about a
farang that comes to work in Bangkok, falls for a Gogo girl working in Nana
Plaza and what happens. It is seen through the eyes of each person involved, as
the situation unfolds. It is a gripping story, and to the expat or regular
visitor, there is truth in every paragraph! To the first time tourist, it may
seem very callous and cold hearted, but there is a lot of truth. From now
on, you will never be sure that the Thai man hanging round in the background is
not her boyfriend, or why the same motorcycle taxi driver collects her EVERY
night. An excellent read.
Trink,
the most famous farang in Thailand has reappeared. His column was "Terminated"
by the Bangkok Post as "Not for family reading", so now he has his own website
http://www.idontgiveahoot.net. The
subscription is only 480 baht a year it is half the price of 52 copies of the
Bangkok Post (1,040 Baht) (or 2 gallons of Petrol in the UK) which you used to
buy To read Stickman's interview with him, read
Part 1 and
Part
2
For books about Thailand, like "Pattaya, Patpong on
Steroids" or something to help you learn Thai, browse through the DCO website
and get the books posted right to your door.
THAILANDFREUNDE.DE A very good GERMAN language site.
Many of our visitors are from Germany, so I hope they like this site. It looks
good to me (an Englander!). Some very good German-Thai links.
SUTINEE Some wonderful photos of Sutinee in the well
developed web site. Studio photos of here and others of her clubbing with her
friends and visiting England. Even got her own message board.
SAN-UK.COM. A general information web site, with
references to Pattaya. Take a look and see for yourself.
An American site from a group
called "Liberated Christians" which is full of information, views and anecdotes
about Thailand and Philippines. Maybe preaching or praising - I am not sure
myself... When I asked them, they replied "Supporting sex work as a badly
needed legitimate profession promoting more intimacy, more sensual sexuality
and decriminalization"
This
site has a weekly newsletter telling you what Baronbonk got up to on his trips
down Pattaya way with others items based around Bangkok. Sometimes they have a
Gogo bar competition - check out the link. Also recommended hotels, etc. Give
it a try.
An English language
general web site directory. Wioth over 2000 web listsings, a very useful
general site to visit.
Tourist Authority of Thailand. Everything you every
want to know about Thailand and many good links.
Don't
listen to bar talk about Visas and what is required. Go straight to the people
who make the rules - The Royal Thai Police Immigration Bureau. The Pattaya
Immigration office is on Soi 8 behind the Anchor Bar. This is the place to go
to get your visa extended. Friendly and efficient service.
Tourist Police website. If you have any problems, these
are the people to contact. All officers speak English and are there to help
you. If you have been scammed or have other problems, contact them on 1155 from
any phone. They are located on Second Road, opposite Soi 6 /
Yodsak.
However, if you want to report a normal theft, like a
snatched bag or theft from your hotel, go to the Pattaya Police Station on
Beach Road by Soi 7 to make your report. A word of warning - only make genuine
claims as they DO check it out in detail, unlike back at home. There was a
recent story in the Pattaya Mail about a man jailed for making a false report
so he could claim off insurance at home.
