Nightlife Reviews: Not Going Back...

Roxy is a south Walking Street GoGo next to Insomnia disco.

Roxy isn't particularly nice inside and overall the girls are average, perhaps just slightly below average.

But the prices are fine for Walking Street and I was quoted 700 baht for a bar fine early in the night. The girls didn't seem to have crazy prices either; one quoted 1,000 ST after some finessing. They seemed to be very interactive this time around, but it could be an aberration because the crowd was abnormally young and the girls seemed genuinely excited.

There are two lovely deaf girls there if you're into that; perhaps the best two looking girls there. The lineup has more tattoos than I'm used to seeing for whatever reason which is worth mentioning since some guys like that sort of thing and others don't.

The atmosphere was good and I had fun. I know the management doesn't exactly crack the whips there so the girls seem free to dance or talk to guys as they please; this style appeals to a certain type of clientele.

Thailand News: Going it Alone...

Residents in 27 at-risk communities in Bangkok have been warned to brace for floods this weekend as heavy rains are expected from tomorrow (Friday) until Monday. All the flood-prone communities, home to around 1,200 families, are located along the Chao Phraya River in areas that have no embankment.

However, having an embankment is not always a guarantee against flooding. Such is the case in Sukhothai, which has seen water from the Yom River seeping in even though the level is not overflowing the embankment.

Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra reckoned that relevant authorities would have to shift their focus on provinces downstream from Sukhothai.

We are now assessing the situation and trying to prepare solutions for all possible scenarios, she said. When asked whether her government would be able to control the flooding, Yingluck said, I can only say that we are doing our best .

In a separate interview, Komsan Maleesee, deputy dean of the Faculty of Engineering at King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, said the government should not just say that the problem was beyond control.

Nightlife News: If you are going to start somewhere, you may as well start at the bottom...

Miami A-GoGo opened on Soi 13/2 (Soi Post Office). The venue was previously that used by Hot & Cold before it moved

I stopped by in the early evening and it was all very disappointing.

The bar is quite traditionally laid out with a smallish central stage. There is comfortable bench seating to the right, a little bench seating to the left, but for the most part there is a long bar counter with a few swivel stools.

The bar looks a little incomplete as there is a large unused space behind the central stage. Perhaps space for a Jacuzzi stage or something later. But in the meantime it leaves a lot of the back right bench seating overlooking exactly nothing.

There were just 2 dancers taking turns and each were dancing for 3 songs. Topless was the dress code. The dancers were below average. There were however 2 other bikini clad girls who were excused dancing for some reason. One was below below average, but the other was attractive. However she was enjoying a chat with her friend rather than doing anything that may improve customer experience in the bar.

Draft beer was 50 Baht but that has already been reduced from the 60 Baht reported at the opening, a few days ago.

All very dreadful but at least its bound to better next time.
