Club Electric Blue is a classic go go bar located in the famous Patpong section of Bangkok, Thailand. Electric Blue is very easy to find situated next to the well known Foodland supermarket on Patpong Soi 2, only steps away from other places I’ve reviewed in the past like Mike’s Place and Star of Light.
There has been a go go in operation in this location for more years than some of my readers have probably been alive. It used to operate under a different name and had more of a rock and roll theme (back before rock and roll died). It was a good enough place back then, being home to a dancer with one of the best asses I’ve seen in my life. A few years ago, it was modernized and underwent a name change that transformed into one of the best locations Bangkok.
What makes Electric Blue different?
At first glance Electric Blue is a lot like many of the other go go bars in Bangkok. It has a center stage where women dance while punters sit in chairs situated about the place. Waitresses float about, getting you drinks when you need them and helping you make contact with any of the dancers you’d like to have come over for a closer look. The dancing is on par with what you usually find in Bangkok, more than enough to keep your interest while you scout things out.
What makes Electric Blue special is the way the place is run. With such a long history in the area it’s clear they know what they’re doing. The signage alone gives a lot away. In front of the club is a big sign that says “50 gorgeous girls plus a few ugly ones.” Truth in advertising! Written on the wall inside is a very reassuring slogan: ‘All dancers are available for your full enjoyment.’ That’s exactly what you want to see at a place like this.
To say drinks are reasonably priced would be an understatement. In a city where go go bars seem to keep increasing the price of libations Electric Blue is in the midst of a long promotion celebrating 19 years in Patpong by offering draft beer for a mere 50 Baht ($1.60) a go. You won’t find anything cheaper than that at a go go in Bangkok no matter how hard you try.
Agogo dancers
The women who work here are truly great and make up a considerably sizable staff. There is a good variation, and quite a few are really good looking. There should something for everyone available at Electric Blue. If nothing tickles your fancy at first, just wait a few moments for the next set of dancers to take the stage. I really can’t imagine not being able to find something to make you happy there.
The costumes that seem to change up quite often are a great touch that definitely spice things up. When they show up on stage in colored stockings its about as good as it gets. Nothing to complain about with the super short plaid skirts either!
The atmosphere is also fun and laid back. I’ve never felt any pressure at all at this establishment in many visits. That too sets it apart from some other places where wolf-like mamasans can zero in on you like the terminator and trying to push you into this or that. The management always seems to be accessible too, which is yet another plus.
It doesn’t end there. Electric Blue also offers a 4000 Baht ($128 USD) outcall service for those who already know what girl they’d like to see in person or who are just unable or unwilling to make the trip out to the club. Some guys also utilize this to secure a booking with a popular gal who may otherwise not be available. They do outcall bookings up to 48 hours in advance.
Summary
There are a lot of go go bars in Bangkok. In fact, there are more than you could visit on a short holiday to the city without running around like a madman. It really helps to narrow things to down to the best of the best, leaving time here and there to visit new places when they pop up. Electric Blue is one of the places that should be on every “must visit” list. It’s not for nothing that the bar has a lot of regular customers mixed in with the tourists. Guys who live in Bangkok full-time know the scene as good as anyone.
Another great thing about Electric Blue is that the website is actually updated with pictures of women who actually work in the bar. Their Facebook page also gets lots of attention with plenty of new photos to tempt you. Both are worth a look.
As a great continuation of a true institution in Patpong with honest, reasonable policies and a nice staff, Club Electric Blue is one of my favorite go go bars in Bangkok. That’s why I give it four-and-a-half stars without hesitation.
Note: After many years of operation, the well known Club Electric Blue in Bangkok has closed. The go go bar of the same name in Pattaya continues to operate.
There used to be a Club Electric Blue in Pattaya about ten years ago. It had 10 baht Gin and Tonic during happy hour!
It’s crazy to think how much prices have gone up across the board, not only in adult avenues. Compare everything else from that time to today. That makes it even better than Electric Blue has beer for 50 Baht today!
I should have mentined that it was a special deal, as they had just opened. Happy agogo at that time was 30 baht draught happy hour. 50 Baht today is a great deal still.
Absolutely. I distinctly remember getting more Baht for my buck too. Now prices are starting to balance out around the world for similar service levels.
Went into Electric Blue last night and thought it had a fine lineup. But I noticed there are signs on the wall saying that “all” of the girls on stage are available for barfine. I asked the mamasan why they had to put a sign like that on the wall and she said it was because some of the girls are coyote dancers and the barfine for them is higher than the others, not much higher like it is on Soi Cowboy, but they can be taken out for a little higher barfine. Good thing since the mamasan pointed to the coyoties and they did not look any better than the other girls. Has anyone taken one of the coyote dancers out of Electric Blue and have a report on whether they give the same or better service than the other girls?
Thanks for the comment. I don’t think women can be judged by performance based on which classification they fall under in a bar. Surely some girls are great service providers while others are not, and similarly a particular woman may be great with a particular guy or on a particular day only to be a starfish in another situation. Cheers.
True about all that. But someone in that bar has judged that some girls are worth charging 900 baht or 1200 baht to be taken out while others will only cost 700 baht with no real difference in looks, age or anything. I was in a few bars last night so these numbers might not be correct for Electric Blue. But I think it is close. There was a menu showing the price difference and everything.
I asked mamasan why the different prices for different girls and she just shrugged. So I thought someone might have had first hand experience on why the different rates. There has got to be some reason if they go to the trouble of writing it on their wall and printing up menus. But the mamasan was not helpful. Thanks for the reply.
A lot of places are like that including Dr BJ’s (“nurses” for 700 and “consultants” for 1000), many soapies, many Macau saunas, and many other establishments. Sometimes the women set the prices they’re willing to go for themselves. Sometimes a few of the women may be working on contract from another agency which requires the establishment to pass on the fee. Sometimes an establishment like a go go bar may think particular women are more valuable (more beautiful, younger, better dancers, more fun) who are better able to entertain, attract and/or retain customers. That would mean taking them out of the bar would a bigger financial loss than taking a boring average girl out. There are many possibilities. Cheers.
There is a new Club Electric Blue in PATTAYA on soi 15 in middle of soi off walking street i was in there last night the mamasan from old electric blue on walking street was there i dont know how long its been openned
Thanks for the report. Cheers.
I recently visited Patpong for the first time. Truth be told, I wasn’t impressed with Electric Blue. There’s only a handful of girls working there; most are plain looking. I went to the bar twice in as many days, to make sure it wasn’t just a slow night. Sorry, but I much prefer the nearby Black Pagoda. In fact, Black Pagoda is the only bar I liked in Patpong. Aside from that bar, I think I’ll stick to Nana and Cowboy in the future. Hotter girls on average and much less harassment going on (the touts around Patpong get on my nerves, there are scams going on all over the place, and even the mamasans have the guts to ask for “mama drinks”).
Thanks for the report. To be fair this post was written three years ago. I haven’t been back to the place since. Did you visit early in the night? The place normally has dozens of women on staff. The Strip nearby has a similar number of women who look good for the most part. I have been in the Black Pagoda once. It gets high reviews but I couldn’t figure out why. Perhaps we both visited these places on off nights. The touts usually work the end of Patpong. They are pretty easy to avoid. Ignoring them and walking by has always worked for me. A stern look works too. Big draws in Patpong continue to be the three blowjob bars there. At one point there were four. Cheers.
There is in fact a fourth blowjob bar… Thing is, it’s only staffed with ladyboys! It’s called Pinocchio, haha.
Black Pagoda is hit or miss depending on the day of the week/time of the day. On a good night there will be 20+ girls, with ridiculously sexy outfits and bodies to match. The atmosphere is laid back and the staff is polite, they don’t pressure you in any way, which is quite unique in Patpong these days. Another plus is the ambience/décor.
I agree that the touts are easy to deal with, I simply ignore them and keep walking. Then again, I’d prefer if they weren’t there in the first place. None of that nonsense in Nana and Cowboy. The last straw for me were the mamasans in many bars… asking drinks for themselves and being generally unpleasant. The whole area seems to operate under the assumption that every farang walking by has just stepped out of the plane and doesn’t know the first thing about Thailand. Not a good business model, but who am I to judge. All I know is that I won’t be back.
Cheers
I’ve never been to Pinochio. I don’t think I’ve even seen it. I did hear about it a while back but someone was saying it was a hidden bar with a handful of ugly trolls inside. Is it actually a blowjob bar? That would be the first and only non “regular girl” BJ bar I’ve ever heard of if so. I think there are gay host clubs in Japan where oral might go done but I don’t know. A woman actually told me about it and she was apparently just passing on a rumor. There was a ladyboy cashier in Kangaroo for a while who loved to “accidentally” sneak looks at the action. Cheers.
“someone was saying it was a hidden bar with a handful of ugly trolls inside. Is it actually a blowjob bar?”
The bar is in plain sight. Hard to miss even if you’re not looking for it. I haven’t personally visited so I have no idea what goes on inside. I have on good authority that it’s a BJ bar with ladyboys… but take it only as a rumor for the time being.
Thanks. I have probably walked right by it many times. I think I may vaguely remember it but it’s tough to be sure. I often steam straight through the area for reasons you mentioned. I only recently rediscovered Linda’s bar. The same thing happened with Rose Bar a little while back. Either I’m losing my wits in old age or there is so much going on in that area that’s it’s easy to lose orientation. Cheers.
From what I understand, pretty much every bar in the upstairs row above Star of Light is some sort of BJ bar/brothel, although it usually looks like a ghost town when you walk around up there. As Rockit alluded to, the old Linda/Kob bar is up there and is now called “Mr. World Bar.” Pinnochio is up there too but this is the first I’ve heard anything about it.
On that level I’ve only known of Linda’s offering that kind of action. It’s also the only bar that looks alive at all. I think I’ve seen one total other woman sitting out front of any of the other bars over the last five years. If there are more blowjob bars around I’d sure like to know about it. Cheers.
