My Thai buddy and I went to the new Hollywood in back of Big C in North Pattaya. I was amazed that it was in a brand new building and was not a rectangular cement block cheapo building. It's a well designed round structure that could fit right in the suburbs of California or Australia. (unusual for Pattaya to have decent structures built other than the 5 star hotels) As I mentioned in another forum, I was disappointed in the sound... large speakers booming out the tunes in full max volume in a huge circular hollow building that created unclear sound. Since the place is so big, wouldn't it be better to have various speakers surrounding the perimeter of the circular room than having just mega speakers above the stage trying to project sound across an area the size of about three basketball courts? If one notices, DJ's in Bkk has great sound and this is because of NOT relying on just a set of huge speakers in one place. They have speakers spread all over the 3 floors. But on the positive side, I was surprised how a lot of thought was put into the design of the inside and outside of the building, including the restrooms.
One complaint... I ordered two vodka tonics and the drinks had NO vodka in them. So my advice is to tell them to put the shots of vodka in one glass and the tonic in another so you can SEE the vodka. Of course when I told the waiter he said there was vodka in it...not worth arguing about but all my friends agreed that there was only tonic in BOTH drinks.
