I had the chance to check out the lb go-go bars in NEP and Soi Cowboy,
The usual no photo policy is still being enforced for the go go bars, and likely the genetic girl bars as well.
First off bad news for the lb lover regarding Nana Plaza.
There is only one pre-op lb bar left in Nana Plaza - that is Obsession. The rest are all closed/taken over and converted to new gg bars.
Obsession had about 25-30 lbs on the 2 nights I visited. The customer count was higher on the 2nd night (Sunday around 9:30 pm). I would say there are not many "femboys" in Obsession - most of the lbs had silicone enhanced breasts. There has also been a shift - very few "Amazonian" tall lbs now. Most of the staff were around 170 cm (about 5 ft 6 inches), and a few petite ones around 160-165 cm (5'2" to 5'3"). Some real beauties on staff. While they asked for drinks it wasn't very "pushy". Drinks have gone up, and while I don't drink alcohol - the cola price was 160 Baht up from 120 Baht pre-Covid, and I'm sure the beer/whiskey prices are up as well.
For the postop lover and in general those who like very beautiful/model type ladies, Straps is open again. They have about 25 beautiful post-op lbs on staff. Some of them were in the top 30 of previous Miss Tiffany contests. However, the atmosphere at Straps is quite mercenary, and while I didn't bar fine anyone, rates are higher. One thing I think has changed is no longer insistence in using the Nana Plaza short time rooms as I saw a customer take his chosen companion down the stairs and out the entrance - possibly to his hotel, or another short time hotel in the area.
Next up is Soi Cowboy. There are 2 lb bars here - most of you have already heard of Cockatoo. This bar had the same owner as the former Temptations and Mercury Bar in Nana Plaza.
Cockatoo Bar has about 30 preop lbs on staff, with around 20 average showing up to work each night. There were a few beauties there but not as many as Obsession. Drinks here were a bit less than Nana Plaza, but the ladies were more aggressive asking for lady drinks. The mamasan is Teresa (former mamasan of Temptations and Mercury Bar). She informed me that Obsessions was the last preop lb bar in NEP. She also informed me that DC10 was closed (I checked it twice, and while the lights were on there were no customers and no staff inside. She said some of the lbs in DC10 had a fight/major disagreement with the Nana Plaza owners and it was closed - probably now for sale/rent.
Next in Soi Cowboy is Shadow Bar. This bar also has the same owner as Cockatoo. There are about 20 preop lbs on staff, with around 15-17 showing up each night. There was a femboy working the night I visited. While there were a few lookers, they weren't as many as Cockatoo or Obsession. They were also about the same as the Cockatoo lbs asking for drinks. Something else I heard from Teresa is that the owner of Cockatoo/Shadow bar attempted to buy some space in Nana Plaza, but the owners refused his offer. It sounds like they are limiting the lb bars to one preop bar and one postop bar. Hopefully that number will not be reduced. She also informed me the King's Castle 3 (King's Corner) no longer has lbs in Patpong. I have not yet gone there to confirm, but will later.
I think the lounge bars may be the best action for lbs in Bangkok - Checkin Bar, Chaos 9, Cindy's Secrets (yes the one who used to work at Cascade), and Why Not?
There are plenty of freelancers on Sukhumvit on the odd numbered Soi side from Soi Nana up to Terminal 21. They will start around 9:30 pm, with the most action 10 - 11 pm.
