Blowjob bars have been a topic of interest for me ever since I first found out of their existence many years ago. What sounded like something out of a fantasy land proved to be real and even common in some parts of the world. Japan probably leads in pure numbers of suck shops but there are enough in Thailand to keep an interested party busy investigating for some time. The dozens of posts on the subject of Thai blowjob bars on this very website prove that.
When I published my review of Magic Table back in April I finally finished scoring all of the BJ bars in Bangkok. That doesn’t mean I finished covering the scene however as subsequent posts on shuttered suck shops and expert performers show.

In its current form this website isn’t oriented around short quick updates. Instead it is fueled by more in depth coverage that is published on a semi-regular schedule. Readers can find several new reports here each month covering different parts of the commercial sex industry in detail. They are less likely to find a snippet or quip relaying some short bit of news that may be repeated on countless other websites. Some breaking news has prompted the creation of this piece which preempts the next regularly scheduled post but some more general information also follows.
A lot has happened in the world of blowjob bars over the last year. There is also information that is new to this site but perhaps already known to regulars. While all of the various events and bits of information are not directly related they can be strung together in a post like this to help paint a picture of what the scene looks like today. The hope is that this can be done in a way that is informative and furthers along this website’s sole mission of entertaining the people who visit it.
The famed Lolita’s on Sukhumvit Soi 8 in Bangkok unexpectedly closed its doors. There is no official notice of the reason. A claim was made that the shop was shuttered due to issues with the decrepit old building that houses it but that seems unlikely. If things like broken toilets were enough to close down adult entertainment venues somewhere around half of all such businesses in Thailand would be in danger. Since other suck shops were also hit it seems more likely that higher powers are at play.
Very credible sources say that law enforcement has come down hard on many of the Bangkok BJ bars. According to these sources some regular and irregular visit were made to numerous oral establishments on the Sukhumvit strip. Checks were made for drug use and 18 and 19 year old workers. Anyone who failed drug tests was punished. Any shop that had 18 or 19 year old women around were warned. When repeat visits were made any previously warned shops that still had 18 or 19 year old women around were closed.
Since I did not witness anything myself I cannot confirm this but I have no reason to doubt the information since it was gleaned from multiple people who would have a very good idea of what exactly went on.
Kasalong which is located just next door to Lolita’s has become well established and quite popular. While it seems like it opened just yesterday the bar is now approaching its second anniversary in just a few months. Initially formed by former Lolita’s staff the bar stuck to the old price of 700 Baht ($20 USD) per session while Lolita’s went up to 800. That recently changed however as Kasalong joined the ranks of the 800 Baht ($22 USD) club as of a few weeks ago.
Kasalong hasn’t closed down like its neighbor but it has really muted its promotions. The lighted sign is off along with the lanterns out front. There are no longer any women standing outside beckoning in customers and the few ladies inside are wearing regular clothes rather than the old white and blue uniforms.
Several new women joined both the Kasalong and Lolita’s staffs not long ago and before the recent turn down both the day and night shifts at both shops seemed to be larger than ever. Lolita’s also saw the return of the legendary Ma who has more than ten years in the game and the skills to prove it.
Some regular workers at both Kasalong and Lolita’s said things were slow in recent weeks. While the increase in ladies and price may have a little to do with this it seems more likely that the bar is being affected by the same drop in visitors that the entire section of the industry oriented towards foreigners is feeling. With Lolita’s closed at least temporarily Kasalong may get more of the local customer base. Then again it may not. With a blacked out storefront one can hardly tell the place is open. Maybe that is by design.
Where the new and veteran workers put out of action by this recent episode will end up is anyone’s guess. Many of the more experienced ladies have done the circuit and it’s foreseeable that some could end up at some other similar establishment unless the action gets going on Soi 6 and Soi 8 again in the near future.
The Lollipop 1 is still up and running at full speed complete with the big lighted sign just off Sukhumvit that is powered by an extension cord running from a street lamp right on the main road across what is probably one of the most used walkways in all of Bangkok.
Som’s Haven is still running normally too. From the looks of it nothing has changed even though the stench of suppression is in the air. The place continues to have one of the best looking staffs of any similar place in the city even if there are never more than a dozen women around at any given time. It is also holding on to the old 700 Baht fee which makes it one of the least expensive hands free bars in the area.
The Lolita’s branch in Hua Hin seems to be done for. A while back it was bought by a guy who remodeled the place and opened it up quite a bit. This must not have been a success since the place first stopped offering the sort of service Lolita’s was famous for then stopped offering any kind of service whatsoever. It is now but a memory.
For whatever reason the attempt at launching a Lolita’s chain didn’t take off very well. If everyone shared my preferences it would have turned into the next Starbucks but I guess I’m not in the mainstream. Of course one of the locations outside of Bangkok survived but it has no connection to the original owners.
The Lolita’s in Pattaya seems to be the last pickle polishing pub in Thailand that is still charging the old 600 Baht ($17 USD) rate for service. While this was once regular across the industry most shops now charge 700 or 800. A few charge even more. Bit Style in Bangkok now charges 1400 ($40 USD) for a half hour session but that seems to last a whole thirty minutes and allow those capable off getting off twice in a row to do so.
Club 4 in Pattaya was raided by the military back in February. A video of the raid is posted online but I won’t link to it as it clearly shows customers and women on staff. Obviously this invasion of privacy is uncalled for especially considering the results of the raid. There was very little reporting on the incident after the initial event but from what I can gather it seems that it all came to naught with no one being arrested or charged with anything. The club remains open today though it appears to be under new ownership.
Things continue to operate pretty much as they did when I published a review of Club 4 though the employee roster has changed rather dramatically. A woman with enormous breasts is now stationed behind the cash register but she does not offer any special services. The regular staff does that though generally speaking there seem to be less women around yet a higher percentage of less attractive women among them. To make matters worse the level of service seems to have gone down slightly as well though semi-public action is still available in the large couches with curtains on the main floor. The rooms upstairs are still available too. The short skirt uniform remains in effect but the women now wear panties underneath. For all of these reasons if I was going to review Club 4 today I would probably knock a star or two off of the score I gave it when I reviewed the place back in 2014.
A place called 007 opened up right next to Club 4 earlier in 2015. While this out of the way location may seem like a strange place for one bar let alone two both places seem to be fairly busy so whoever is in charge obviously knows what they are doing. This club which for whatever reason attracts a lot of French customers has a larger and more attractive staff than its closest competitor. The floor plan is the exact opposite of the neighbor next door with a bar in the front and large booths with curtains in the back. This 007 club is clean and nicely decorated and the women working there are friendly and skilled. I plan to review this little gem in full in the very near future.
An even newer place called Pirates Club opened next to 007 earlier this month. It is being billed as a “hostess club” but I have a strong suspicion that it may follow the pattern set by its neighbors. I haven’t had a chance to visit yet but I plan to stop by the next time I am in town.
Club M in Pattaya is one of a few out of the way places generally described in the area as a gentleman’s club though I think it fits just as nicely into the BJ bar category. This place was reportedly raided in February as well with the customers and every woman working there being taken to a local police station. The foreigners reportedly had to show their passports or copies of their passports but were then free to go. The women were reportedly given piss tests. I repeat the word reportedly so many times because the information I received was all second or third hand and I have to way to verify it. As far as I can tell nothing about this was ever reported in the English-language press.
In any event the bar is still open today and operates in the same way that it always has. The place is huge and it appears even bigger due to its small staff and customer base. The large seating area outside is always empty but the relatively attractive women who work there seem happy to make use the couches with attached curtains in the back when an interested customer arrives. That should help explain why the place is mentioned in this report. Club M is another Pattaya establishment that will be reviewed here on Rockit Reports soon.
Telephone Bar in Pattaya seems to have branched out and opened a second location. The new bar is actually located inside of the old Bar de la Poste which used to be called something relating to Traffic. Confusingly the Bar de la Poste sign is still outside but there is a telltale miniature replica of the red phone booth at the entrance of the original Telephone bar near the door that lets people know what kind of place it is. The new location is a lot closer to the main action being only a short walk from LK Metro and Soi Bukhao.
This Telephone Bar 2 is spacious and clean. There are ten ladies working during the day and even more in the evening. They follow the original Telephone protocol which means they take their tops down for any man who buys them a lady drink. Oral services are also available at the same rate. There are two “smoking sections” with high bars where customers can sit and get serviced by a woman down below but the ladies on staff seem to much prefer going to work on the large couches in the private areas in the back. The place certainly deserves a review and will be covered here in the coming months.
Le Private located right next door looks like any nondescript beer bar based in a building. It actually does fit into the category under discussion here though. While there are only ever a handful of women on staff many are happy to provide the usual services on the couch surrounded by a curtain back by the pool table. Some of their skills could use a lot of work and they all seem to prefer to go a private room upstairs in any event.
Excite Club is another bar that sprang up some time rather recently. Located in a small building on Soi 23 near Soi Bukhao the place is livelier than the exterior might lead one to believe. Inside of the privacy doors customers find a small bar, seats near the wall, more seats in the back and a nice large private couch setup where magic can be made. The place has a large staff considering its size and most of the women working there are quite attractive. While the women aren’t aggressive they all seem to be quite nice and have decent skills. This is another place deserving of a full review and it will get one soon.
The Pump Station in Pattaya has been redone and looks a lot more lively than it did when I wrote a review of the place that seemed more like an obituary. The place has more of an open beer bar vibe now. The staff has grown to include ten or more women and this has brought in a fair amount of customers most nights. It appears to be one of the most “happening” BJ bars at the moment but it remains to be seen what the the service is like now.
Finally the women working at Bliss Lounge in Pattaya have received new uniforms. The old purple plaid skirt and white shirt has been replaced by a purple plaid skirt and purple shirt. Otherwise things seem to be pretty much the same as they were when I reviewed it back in early 2014. This news may seem insignificant in the wake of some of the other information that appeared above but attention to detail is important. It seems business at Bliss Lounge must be good or at least steady since the owners shelled out for an across the board work suit upgrade.
