I heard from a reliable source that Nice Boys is in fact packing up and reopening as a host bar 2 doors down at Forest House.
Apparently they're planning to open next Wednesday but plase don't quote me on that. I'm not sure what Beers plans are for the upper level (Cocktail Boys) yet.
That's already been mentioned in this thread 4 days ago.Originally Posted by Dodger
Yes...but that post didn't include the "when".
I thought a little drum roll was in order...LOL
Work ongoing. Note the door from Forest House to the staircase. Staff were seen going from the current premises to the new site.

Taken a few years ago now, an early photo of MFAS trying to get the fat lady to sing regarding Nice Boys and Sunee. Many years on and it seems she still ignores him. The fat lady still ain't singing.

Then his manboobs are probably down by his waist by now!
I believe the new bar will be called Night Boy Pub....I wish them luck.....they will need it!

They will need luck and good management, which the bar was lacking in recent years and particularly lacking on my last visit, when boys in jeans were not even bothering to go on the stage. I don't mind paying 200 Baht for a drink to cover the cost of the entertainment. When they forget the entertainment and still want 200 Baht, they can go f*** themselves.
As for the Feb 1 opening date, are any board members planning to rush out and see the old Gogo bar before it closes, or the new boring host bar ?
I doubt it. The expats here rarely go to the bars and the contributing tourists are either not Nice Boys fans, or haven't been to Pattaya for a couple of years.
I think I'm the last one here to report a personal visit to the bar. They had given up.
I'm more interested in seeing Winner Boys.

At the risk of sounding naïve and/or overly optimistic, I think if they had truly given up they would have simply closed Nice Boys and called it a day...but they didn't.
My assumption is that Beer and Mak saw the writing on the wall...knew the days of gogo bars were numbered...know the future market potential (as dismal as it appears right now) better than any of us sitting on this side of the table, and decided that opening a host bar (and possibly another venue on the upper level) could have some potential. Based on that assumption, I'm going to hold off on making any predictions about the success of their new venture until things have had time to play out.
All we can right now is wish them the best.
