Prompted by the photo above, I have a quick question for those who frequent Double Shot (I've never been in it):
Is the industrial blue lighting intended to attract and zap the Sunee flies (like in a food shop) or to discourage the patrons from shooting up (like in a public toilet)?
Just asking like.
The blue lighting is simply a fashion statement and, in reality, not as harsh as the photos.
If anything, the placement of the chairs makes it awkward to get in and out of them.
Next time in Pattaya, give it a try; the drinks are very reasonable during happy hour and the boys will attend to you if one likes that.
But the wine is much more expensive than comparable bars and not included in happy hour prices.
I always sat at an outside table, so wasn't really aware of the blue lighting. There were very few bar flies about, so make of it what you will.
Hitchhiking's more of a challenge on the road less travelled.
I am reminded of a passage in Joe Ackerley's famous book about his relationship with his father (My Father and Myself) in which he describes the pleasure his father took in sitting outside Parisian cafes, watching the world go by. He would particularly enjoy the pastime on days when there was a dog turd on the pavement in front of the cafe, the fun being to see who stepped in it first.
Quite right, on Sundays Double Shot is closed and the area becomes quite dead.

Green Bar (Plastic Chairs) also is doing a good business. Most of the patrons seem to prefer the companionship of other farang and not particularly looking for Thai companions. And it is a good vantage point to watch the action on the Soi.
