Review: Kink in Pattaya, Thailand

Kink is one of the many go go bars in Pattaya. It sets itself apart from much of the competition by featuring fully nude dancers. At the same time these dancers are not obvious to all who walk in off the street. So some customers probably have no idea they are even present.

Bars tend to come and go with regularity. There are places that have been around for years. There are also bars that show up on the scene only to disappear soon after. I can’t report on every go go bar that opens in Thailand. But Kink is notable in some ways.

Location and layout

As mentioned Kink is located on LK Metro. The place is very easy to find. It has a large black entrance with big white letters that spell out the name of the bar. LK Metro never gets as crowded or hectic as Walking Street. So most places are easy to spot simply by looking around.

Kink took over the spot that formerly housed the Gold go go bar. After entering the bar customers find themselves in a rather large space. This is to be expected to some degree. Generally speaking the go go bars on LK Metro tend to be bigger and roomier than those down on Walking Street.

There is a large stage in the middle of the floor that takes up a lot of the available space. There are also spacious and comfortable booths around the walls. They are a little better than the seats in a lot of other bars. Some investment was clearly made here.

The main draw for many is not obvious to immediate view. That is the upstairs stage and play area. It is reached by a staircase in the front left corner. The staircase is not marked but it is open for customers to traverse.

While the dancers on the ground floor wear bikinis the gals upstairs are fully nude. There is a large play pen type of area in the middle of the floor. There are also all sorts of semi-private spaces around the walls. A lot goes on and the place sort of resembles a less busy version of the previously reviewed Windmill.

Staff and prices

It’s fitting that the upstairs area of Kink resembles Windmill in some ways. That’s because several of the women on staff at Kink used to work at Windmill. A few dancers and at least one waitress have made the move.

The other dancers follow a similar pattern of behavior. The women start out either in the buff or wearing only short skirts and tops that are barely there. Customers who sit around the play area or kick back and buy lady drinks are treated to a lot of opportunity to interact with the dancers. It is not out of the norm to see quite a lot of adult activity going on.

Downstairs things are a lot more tame. There the place just looks like the standard go go bar. It could even be described as a demure place with a lounge type atmosphere. The differences are almost night and day.

A range of looks is represented in the bar. The dancers are all Thai. Some are in their early twenties. More are probably in their late twenties with a few being even older than that. Most would probably be described as average by a lot of guys. Ultimately beauty is in the eye of the beholder however. Some may think the place is filled with stunners.

Surprisingly prices can surpass those on Walking Street. Drinks are 10 baht more expensive upstairs than downstairs. So upstairs lady drinks cost a bit more at Kink than they do at the above mentioned Windmill. The barfine is 1500 Baht ($46 USD) before midnight and 2000 Baht ($63 USD) after that. This compares to a 1000 Baht short time and a 1500 Baht long time barfine at Windmill.

Conclusion

Kink is a large new go go bar in Pattaya. It is clear that considerable effort and investment was put into getting the place going. There are many dancers inside including several upstairs who seem quite happy to dance in their birthday suits and get very hands on with customers.

The main feature at Kink here is clearly that play area in the upstairs area. It is what sets this bar apart from many others. Though this is certainly not the only go go bar in Pattaya to feature nude dancers or touchy experiences.

Unfortunately I don’t think that the fully nude top floor of this place is good enough to overcome all the other weaknesses. There are so many go go bars in Pattaya that punters can choose to go one place or another. I might return to Kink at some point in the future. But I don’t have any immediate plans for that with so many other places around that I enjoy more.

I can sum up this review as follows. The downstairs area of Kink is much like any other average go go bar. The upstairs is reminiscence of Windmill but with fewer ladies and higher prices. There are customers inside. But that can be said of many places. I give it a below average score of 1.5 stars.
