During the last week of November 2011 there were even speculations about central Bangkok and Sukhumvit to be submerged. Residents and bar owners on Soi Cowboy started to prepare for possible water by building up defense walls with sand bags. However, the flood was averted and Soi Cowboy remained dry for the time being.

Possibly the most expensive showgirl bar on Soi Cowboy. Baccara packs 2 floors of dancers. Lower floor with bikini girls and upper floor with shool-girl dressed Thai ladies, bottomless. Both floors are separated by a large glass floor. Customers seated on the lower flower experience stiff necks. Upper floor girls love to ask for more expensive ladydrinks such as Tequila shots. Barfines are available, but customers are required to pay at least 2 ladydrinks on top of barfine. Regular drinks like beer and water are about twice as expensive than in Tilac bar, but Baccara is packed full with bargirls and customers every night. Very loud music.

Each bar on the strip has them: sexy Thai doorgirls. They are the ones to get customers into bars. Once a customer vanishes inside a joint on Soi Cowboy he is most likely going to stay there for at least one or two drinks. It's the same in many other Asian RLD's, doorgirls are by far more attractive than actual dancers and employees inside the establishments. That's part of nightlife and it's impossible to complain about it. But: you can always ask a doorgirl to join inside the bar and buy her a drink if you wish to do so. This way, you can enjoy company of the bar's most attractive girl. Have fun!

This bar is one of the oldest establishments on Soi Cowboy. It has survived over 20 years of nightlife. Mnay other bars have changed names, but Midnite Bar still is the same. Late at night it hosts erotic shows mixed with regular agogo and tight coyotee dancers. There is a small party area upstairs that can be used by small groups of customers for individual shows and events. Overall a pretty neat place. It was reported, girls may only go on barfine after two ladydrinks from the customer who pays the barfine. You gotta love their way of increasing prices by the backdoor.

It's one of those bars on Soi Cowboy giving you what you want: Thai teen eye candy. Very sexy 19 and 20 year old coyotee dancers that perform in hotpants and tight tops. You can buy them drinks between their shifts and put some bills inside their bra for a tip if you are in a spending mood. They won't go with you on barfine! Coyotee dancers don't accept barfines. They receive a higher salary than regular dancers. Maybe some charming guy can sweet-talk his way into getting their phone numbers, but that's about as far as it goes.
