gobbledonk Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Went to the front door at 11pm on Weds nite - almost completely empty, despite a horde of punters in NP. Every girl I've asked about the place reply that it blows - ok, not their exact words, but you would have more luck finding a FL at the Suk-Asoke overpass imo ...

Hardy641 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Share Posted March 26, 2010 Swing isn't new at all. It is around for a few years already. It is on the 1st floor of the Thai restaurant that is opposite of spicy. Very small place (maybe 70m2) and it used to fill up after spicy closed at 6:00am. Definitely not Thai high-so hangout.

dave32 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 Good to know. Actually seen the procession leaving Spicy and headed across the street a couple times and thought it was for food. Didn't realize until reading your post that was 'Swing.' Ha. Had company at the time, wasn't inclined to follow the herd, but now I'll def investigate. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 29, 2010 Report Share Posted March 29, 2010 I was there starting 2000 and felt it was still good up to about 2003 -- that was the last time I was in BKK for any long period of time (2 months), and always quick visits after that of a few days here and there. But on visits back, it just seemed to get worse and worse until finally it was a totally empty club at its former prime hours (11pm to closing -- which fluctuated over the yrs but finally settled at 2am for the most part in the last years of its life). The ever increasing door fee got to be more and more of a put off for me, especially since there was a direct relationship between how high the fee went and how low the quality went. But imagine if Spicey was ALL working girls (and only working girls, not a single one there who wasn't looking to get taken) and there were more of them than male customers. And the place was crowded every night. And plenty of new talent showing up most nights. Yeah it was something. Well, I didn't know it pre-2000 or anything--my first visit was 2003--but I think it was pretty damn fine from then up until about 2005, which if memory serves was when they upped the door price to a ridiculous 400... I could actually count on two hands the number of times I pulled from there over the years, I just liked the parade of girls and the energy on the dance floor... A former (working BG) girlfriend introduced me to the place, and I'm sure in retrospect she wished she hadn't...as we stood there at the edge of the dance floor on my first visit and I surveyed the ocean of BGs, she yells into my ear "welcome to Pussy Land!" haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrenova Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 I will go to my grave with a couple of memories from Angels burned into my memory. One post about it being Spicy with no non P4P girls is spot on. Hell, even the bar had its own magic. I was first there in the 1990s and most times when in Bangkok for a few days. It did go downhill for sure but daft door pricing and early closing was what killed it. Increased competition kicked it when it was down and whilst I think it has the number one position to be the best of its kind, I fear its time has gone and only a very well pitched and sustained drinks promotion will build up the clientèle and that is unlikely with Thai owners. Run till Xmas with drinks at Bt95 or thereabouts and you'll pack it out and not only late night. It will, to those who knew it, take its place on the wall with Thermae and the Grace.

Wait a second..."non P4P girls at Spicy"?!? Only because they haven't admitted it yet, only because they haven't admitted it, heheh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belem Posted March 31, 2010 Report Share Posted March 31, 2010 The Nana Liquid Disco is owned by a farang, who also owns Lucifers and Candyshop in Pattaya, is building Pleasure Dome in Pattaya, and is building another disco down by Bali Hai Plaza in Pattaya. Also, heard he bought Eden Club in Bangkok, too. I agree only a sustained drink promotion will get this place going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Forget the drink promotion - they need a real Happy Hour : all FLers half price before midnite. The Disco could comp them drinks etc and the girls would be happy for the business at a time, in my experience, when very few are doing a great deal with their moneymakers.

Wallenda Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Or events? What about that whole Nanapong type idea that worked so well all those years ago, something like that...? OK I guess that was dance contests, that exact idea won't work, but... maybe something along those lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shygye Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Get the TGs into the disco and the farangs will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
