Well, I am back at home and will try to remember a few things to provide an update.
I really needed this break from work, and I drank more alcohol this trip then any other trip before. :alc:
Stayed at Don Plaza for the week. Booked via agoda with a really good rate. Stairs are still an issue for anyone with mobility issues. First flight of steps are STEEP ! There is talk that the will do some construction work to try and make this better, but nothing yet. No elevator either.
Room was in good shape. A/C worked good. Good ceiling fan above the bed (not wobbly) which was great. Bed was harder then I like, but better then the Mosaic concrete version. Downstairs bar area is much more open and enjoyable. Very relaxed, not really a place to drink up a storm or pick up a friend. Think lazy afternoon beer while your batteries recharge. Owner very present, available, and friendly. We will certainly consider staying here again.
It was the first time staying in Sunee proper. Really handy to have the bars just outside your door, but limited choices around for anything during the day.
The gogo bars:
Cocktail bar closed during my entire visit. Have to see if high season brings a resurgence.
Eros bar all the same. Busiest bar around, hands on fun, energetic. And friendly staff. Not the place to find a "stunner" if that is your thing.
Happy boys was knocked down a bit in my mind this trip. Sparse staff that was more interested in phones then I recall before. I would routinely buy drinks for at LEAST 2 boys whenever I visited, but seems most could not be bothered to look up. Still have a couple of fun "friends" here, but Eros a much more fun visit now.
Krazy Dragon: staging a comeback. Gogo bar again, new staff that are more my style, but more shy then the previous crew. Well fitted out inside, good A/C and music, but not quite the fun place yet.
City Boy Bar (Murphy's?). Not sure of the official name anymore. Best description I can come up with for this bar is the Sunee version of Funny Boys. Probably the most attractive gogo staff (in my opinion) in Sunee, but just a boring place to visit. No energy, no vibe. If I was just looking to pop in for an off, this is the place. If I wanted any type of fun place to just grab a drink, I would pass.
Nice boys had a couple dozen dancers. Some sitting on the stage edge taking matters in hand. Mostly straight (looking/acting) guys, a couple fem hiding at back stage.
Mic my: didn't visit. Walked by a couple of times, did not look fun/busy so just passed.
Note: during my entire visit, I did not once witness anything that would make me wonder about ID cards, at any establishment in Sunee.
Host/beer bars: I didn't do as much "research" in this area. ;)
Favorite home base was still crazy pub (next to Krazy Dragon). BF and I have made several friends here and they take good care of us. A fun place to chill for awhile and share a bottle. Free pool table. Manager (Bon) has the best smile in Sunee.
Double Shot bar. Still MANY waiters working here, most friendly. A couple more twink-type additions since my last visit, which is welcome change for me. Much has already been written about the decor, so nothing new there. I am still confused by the drink philosophy. A glass with a double shot of liquor served with a full container of mixer on the side. :dontknow:
So you start with a VERY strong drink, try to find a happy medium, then end up with a weak, mixer-heavy drink.
I may be old-fashioned. But I greatly prefer 2 properly prepared separate drinks over this weird setup.
All of me: one short visit here, just for a quick drink with friendly acquaintance. (Ask NIrish. Lol)
Fine place but a bit too relaxed to make a regular hangout.
I did note that All of Me 2 opened up again sometime during the week. I think it is a bar with massage place upstairs, but i didn't manage a visit to check it out.
That's about all that springs forth in the memory. Specific questions? Just ask.
