Review: Carre Blanc in Pattaya, Thailand

Carre Blanc is a gentlemen’s club with more in Pattaya. With a history originating anywhere, today the place sits on what has become a sort of “blow row” in the city. The area has become popular with guys in the know. Yet most people in town are probably unaware the area even exists.

Many blowjob bars have been covered on this website over the years. Most follow the same model though there are some places that go their own way. A main variation is the gentleman’s club where customers can hang out with a host of women and relax.

There are many of these gentlemen’s clubs in Pattaya with new places opening all the time to make up for those that have closed. I’m not sure how many short time tourists find their way inside of their locked doors but perhaps some do put in the effort. Mainly these lounge style blowjob bars seem to attract more a clientele that is more attached to the area.

A few years ago a place called Club 4 opened on Soi Full Love Inn. After some time and some problems it was joined by other bars based on the same model. There are so many of these clubs in the area now that some are referring to it as “blow row”.

Carre Blanc in Pattaya

I published a review of the original Carre Blanc nearly three years ago at the end of 2014. That shop has since closed with another opening in its place. I preserved my review of the original Carre Blanc for historical sake. It can be found at the end of this article.

This new Carre Blanc opened in the same corridor as Club 4, 007 and Pirate’s. Unfortunately I have not been able to cover it until now.

The new Carre Blanc is at the end of the row. It is clearly marked with a large white sign. The front is made of the typical sliding glass door tinted to a very dark black. When customers want to enter they have to ring a bell next to the door.

After entering customers see a large open and very clean main area. This place is much newer and nicer than the old Carre Blanc. It’s world’s apart.

In the center of the floor sits a very large round bar. A petite ladyboy with a huge silicone rack is stationed inside of the bar. She seems to be a manager of sorts. In any event she can speak English well and serve up drinks as ordered at the same kinds of reasonable prices charged by the nearby competition. She also watches what goes on outside the door through a CCTV system that broadcasts to a flat screen television behind the bar.

Women at CB

Just inside the entrance and to the right are two plush couches. Most of the ladies working in the bar sit there until they are called over by a customer. A few others will approach customers first. None are particularly shy though a few seem reticent to make the first move.

The gentlemen’s clubs of Pattaya open early in the day however some of the ladies that work in them seem to be on a different schedule. This definitely seems to be true at the new Carre Blanc to the point that the aforementioned ladyboy can sometimes be heard complaining about the situation to no one in particular.

At prime time there can be as many as ten ladies in the new Carre Blanc but during the day there can be as few as three not counting the bartender slash manager. Most are relatively attractive though one or two may be on the older side. As a general rule they are in their twenties and thirties and have fairly good bodies. None are overweight. All are friendly and typically wear dresses and high heels. All also have some level of skill at their job.

Summary

Private booths in the rear contain large couches and tables and are separated from the rest of the bar by long hanging curtains. The original Carre Blanc had a similar set up but the new bar is much larger and better arranged. The private booths actually give privacy. Customers pay 800 Baht ($23 USD) for the privilege of taking a lady to one of them for oral service. Private rooms are available upstairs for slightly higher price. Additional services seem to be offered anywhere in the bar for those who want it.

The locked doors at the gentlemen’s clubs help feed into a more private environment that allows customers to relax. It is not uncommon to see some semi public action going on in the Pattaya gentlemen’s bars and Carre Blanc is no exception. Still people mind their business and guys who vist the bar generally seem to get along well even when they don’t talk to each other whatsoever. What else would one expect from gentlemen? Three-and-a-half stars.

The original Carre Blance

Carre Blanc was a gentlemen’s club in Pattaya. It was set in a location that was a bit out of the way for the average visitor. Because of this and the prevalence of other options closer to the beach the main customer base seemed to be long term expats who mostly hail from Europe. That’s not to say that they did’t welcome new comers. Anyone who could find their way to the front door and ring the bell was admitted.

To be clear, the bar wasn’t that far away or difficult to find its simply in a place where few punters would end up on their own. It’s not a part of the usual Pattaya walking trail.

The phrase Carre Blanc means “white square” in French. Apparently this refers to a famous film rather than any white substance that may find its way out onto the tiled floor of the bar. The name is used for quite a number of things around the world which makes finding information about the bar in question difficult even with the aid of the internet.

A hole in the wall

Carre Blanc was a moderately sized establishment. Just inside the entrance was a small bar and a few seats. To the left was a few couches where the half dozen or so women on staff hung around in between customers. To the far left were a group of love seats and couches that could be cordoned off from one another and the rest of the bar with the aid of curtains that hung from the ceiling.

The women that worked the bar were friendly but not aggressive. Whoever was next in line would approach any new customer who entered. But there was nothing that said he couldn’t chose any other gal or gals of his liking. The gals at Carre Blanc didn’t push for lady drinks or try to sell their services but it was all available at a very reasonable price.

There always seemed to be at least one or two guys at the buy having a drink. They were only occasionally joined by ladies. On the other hand the “service center” in the back saw its fair share of use. Still it was never overly busy. The place had its fair share of customers which may be more than some would expect given the location and lack of obvious promotion.

In bar blow jobs

Guys looking to get their heads blown at the old Carre Blanc will had to shell out for the pleasure. That was on the high end of the price range for these kind of services at the time. It’s not much to complain about but it’s worth noting that the nearby Lolita’s was still charging 600 Baht.

The action at Carre Blanc straddled the line between the completely private model of places like Som’s and the in your face style of the Star of Light. It was done on the main floor in spitting distance of the bar. But the action was still isolated thanks to the black out drapes that had been installed.

I guess it wouldn’t appeal much to the serious exhibitionist or the extreme privacy advocate. But everyone else was able to get on quite nicely. There were some acceptable short time quarters upstairs for guys who wanted to be all alone with their date. The rate for that was 1000 while the old CB was still in business.

The women at the old Carre Blanc tended to be in their 30’s with some a little younger and one or two possibly even older. None of the women were totally unattractive but there aren’t many lookers either. Considering what kind of place it is the looks could have best been described as average.

Considering what kind of place it was again one realizes that looks may not be the most important thing. The main point of a bar like this is the easily accessible oral and fun atmosphere. It’s always difficult to judge the skill levels of an entire group of people but I’m always willing to take a dozen or two for the team. Different women do things differently with some being better than others. But everyone at the old Carre Blanc knew what they were doing. If they didn’t they would have beene working somewhere else.

There was never any rush or clock watching at the old Carre Blanc. Bills were paid at the customers leisure after they’ve soaked in as much of the atmosphere as they’d like. This speaks a lot to the character of the old bar. If better located places like the Pump Station put even a small portion of the effort in that they used to they would certainly be doing a lot better economically. Since they don’t their bar stays empty most times while the old Carre Blanc stayed occupied despite its distance from the main entertainment center.

As a decent blowjob bar with a standard level of service and average prices I think the old Carre Blanc deserved an average score of two-and-a-half stars. If it was located somewhere else in the world I’d almost certainly score it higher. But since it was within distance of nearly a dozen similar bars this mid-range number seems fair.
