I started to post this thread in the Pattaya section of the board, then changed it to News & Views as this is a message
I didn't want lost amongst all the articles on who is working where.
The mods may move it as they see fit, but I hope they read of my experience first.
For the second time this week I wandered into the Kitten Club down in Soi Post Office, under the Penthouse Suites.
Tuesday night I went with Rossco, very curious to check out this dreadful place,
with its 1000 baht barfines, its over-priced drinks, some dubious practices all designed to separate us from our money.
I didn't find evidence of any of it, just a well decked out club/bar with a big staff headed up by my all-time favourite Nicky.
Yes, drinks weren't beerbar prices, but all the beerbars in town haven't the combined investment in layout, pools, sound system, it's all there in a very relaxing environment.
Obsessions is joined to Kitten Club with the intention of being a stand-alone LB bar.
Without the numbers of quality LBs, it is not open all the time, but I suggest to you all to pop your head around the corner & check the full size pool in Obsessions.
This place is going to be around a long time.
Now to my point . . . last night I got fucked in the bar & I stayed fully dressed.
With Sam just in town for the big gig on Sat night, I suggested he should have a look at this place.
Picking up Sombat for the ride down to Soi 13.4 we were well entertained along with our drinks.
Later we separated, & finding Walking Street just a bit tiresome on my own (where you go? come in please? I go with you) I thought why am I wasting time when
earlier I made the acquaintance of a sensational looking post-op named Ann.
I could not believe she was katoey, such physical perfection is rarely left alone after the first hour of any bar one like her may frequent.
On walking back into Kitten Club, Ann is parading completely naked.
That should have been my first warning.
Spotting me, she was onto me in a flash. Everything was agreed in a second & someone from the floor staff was there to collect the money.
"No no sir, you must pay for everything, bar fine & money for lady."
"Really" I replied, vaguely recalling that someone had posted this was the way business was done in this place.
I was tired, I wanted to be on my way & re-assured by Ann's big smile & hug, I warily handed over 3000 baht.
I know I must pay for quality & see little point looking for the same at half the price. It rarely will happen.
When she dressed she came to me & re-buffed my offer of a peck to say hi.
That was my second warning.
I thought she may be shy in the presence of the other girls, but she would warm up in the room.
Jumping on the somtam she suddenly announces she wants a drink. "We go to my friends bar in Soi 8"
"No, better idea, we go to my friend's bar La Bamba" Closer, & I would prefer to spend my money with Sam, bit nervous about their friends & being set up, etc.
Three warnings & no light bulbs are clicking.
Ordered drinks, I went to the pisser, come out & she is gone.
Sam & Sombat both assure me she will be back in a moment.
15 minutes later I know she won't be.
Sam & I race back to the Kitten Club demanding to speak to the management.
Out came the manager, a most self assured local girl, ready to stop me in my tracks.
I explained exactly what happened raising my voice for effect, she listened calmly & said she would do what she could.
That wasn't exactly what I wanted to hear, but no matter where Sam & I took the argument she had an answer.
We even tried the old "don't you know who we are" trick, but I didn't think that would carry any weight.
Finally worn down by her patience & refusal to get angry back, she repaid my barfine & we left resigned to the fact I wouldn't see the rest of the money again.
"I knew that place was no good," I said as we meekly wandered off into the night.
Today I prepared myself for one last show-down with management before unleashing my fury on the board.
Asking at the desk for the right person I was introduced to a most charming chap who immediately said:
"are you the gentleman who had the problem last night? We have retrieved your money & the staff member has been sacked."
Good-oh, I thought before freezing at the sight of Madam Lash from last night.
"Hello again" she said "I sent two staff to her room last night who returned with your money" handing me an envelope.
"Make sure Mr Pacman has a bottle of champagne with our compliments on his next visit" continued the first chap, "we try very hard
to stop this sort of thing. This a too big a project, too many years establishing it, too much money invested to be damaged by
one staff member with a drug addict boyfriend."
Seemed a far more reasonable experience then I was expecting, given the reputation of the place.
He insisted I be given a tour of the hotel, to see how much trouble & design had gone into this edifice to hedonism.
Fuck me, if any of you haven't seen this place, wander in & ask for a look.
It will remove all perceptions this place is a rip-off joint intent only on making a fast buck.
The clear message is if anyone gets asked for payment up front, ask for Madam Lash,
(not her real name) & she will sort out any nonsense quick smart.
Gentlemen you have nothing to fear, except an extra buck on the price of your beer.
Given what you get it is no bad deal.

From earlier reports this place did not sound too interesting, but based on your story I will for sure check it out.
