Anyone know if this bar is still open?

Thanks. Click

The ring is in the middle of a cramped bar "complex" called Siren,the very last building on the sea side of Beach Road before WS begins and is in the shadow of the Walking Street signage. The Pattaya Beer Garden (PBG) is up an alley at the side of Siren and sits behind it facing the sea.

 

Of course,the fighting is complete theatre,and any westerner in the area is expected to contribute a tip just because they are there,irrespective if you watched the "show" or not.

 

The bars are little more than huts surrounded by stools,and look desolate most days as nearly everyone sails past to explore the brighter lights and forbidden promise that lies just ahead.

Thanks.

Just by watching the video you can see it's choreographed!!!

Tip? Tip who?

[Billions 687]

Tip the fighters of course,as they walk around between "shows" to get the oblivious farang to pay their wages.

 

If you do go there,check out the shins of these guys....they have been kicked so many times the veins are spectacularly horrific.

 

Siren is also one of the few places were Connect 4 is still en vogue too,a time warp in an ever changing world.

[Chester007 175]

Haha, didn't even think about the fighters going around for a tip.....sorry chaps I only tip females!!!

 

I suppose they wouldn't like the tip of "Don't eat yellow snow!!"

 

I have a feeling this is going to be 2 weeks of eye opening experiences.

I'm showing my age -- my advanced age. But I still love playing that dice game and Connect 4 with the bar girls.

You may learn. I do not always provide handouts, but on occasion, when the 'fighter' has asked pleasantly, I chuck in a few baht to build up his taking for the day. It can't be a real money spinner for them, but everyone has to make a living and, on even lesser occasions, I have enjoyed the stage-acting show.

during my last trip in May I noticed the bars there toward the rear of the comlex were closed or empty, but the ones along the front and the alleyway leading up to PBG were open and populated by BG's of varying levels of beauty and size...
