Difficult to find bars in Pattaya?

[CanadaSam]

Sorry if it's been posted, but I'm looking for an airconditioned bars in Pattaya (to escape this gruelling heat).

 

Prefer reasonably priced, i.e. not at five star hotels please.

 

With music, and live band would be even better!

 

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

You're not asking for much are you, air con, live music.

Bet you'd like pretty young waitresses @ 250 bar fine, and large Singhas @ Bht 100.

Kad Suan Kaew's food court was air-conditioned, sold beer and had live music.

Metro Bar? Soi LK Metro but no live music and possibly another one somewhere along there.

Hops - soi 13(2?) - sit at the bar if you can find a seat and has live singing.........and decent food

I think the Stones House on Walking Street if still enclosed has A/C and live music but you may not be able to hear yourself think......

OP ....  there's a place called walking street .....   just ask any local they will tell you ....   it has many bars to choose from.

OP, most aircon bars in Pattaya seem to be sports bars like Hemmingways (soi 11/2nd road) and I-Rovers and Metro bar in Lk Metro. Also Frasiers in Jomtien.

 

There's also Tahitian Queen on beach road for afternoon aircon with music ????

 

Best bar aircon I've found is Jibbys in LK Metro (opposite Billabong) which is really cold plus 70 baht beers with music playing

The Jungle Bar on Soi Yamoto, or Soi 31/1, has air conditioning and live music.  They have a Filipino band, and drink prices are reasonable.

Not as dumb as it sounds.  There's not that many air conditioned live music venues around.

Ticks for cheap beers and live band but would not consider it an aircon bar. Yes they have aircon but I never felt it as it's a bar open to the street...60 baht beer was pretty good though ????

If you need aircon and fans are not good enough Thailand is not for you. Your in the wrong country.

So what, we empty out all the countries in the tropics and Middle East and mover the people to Scotland? I use aircon to sleep well at night . You are trolling for arguments surely.

You're either:

 

1. Upset that to run A/C is unaffordable to you OR

2. Happy to sit in your home sweating your balls off.

 

I've worked in many hotter countries than Thailand and the locals that have experienced this heat still require A/C, to suggest that people who move here from colder climates require only a fan is stupid.

 

Do you eat with your hands or use cutlery?

I use fans by choice.
 

Go buy a high velocity fan or two, oscillate them on the bed at night. Windows open. Do you still care if the a/c is on?

 

Maybe you can adjust your thinking also and feel you deserve a/c for some reason, and that’s why you want ti??

lol - you thought it necessary to post a picture of a fan, did you think i did not know what they looked like?? too funny.

 

Nah, i'd rather stick to A/C - thanks.

Just to weigh in on the important topic of Thai Elvis's, does anyone remember the guy in an upstairs nightclub next to Foodland on soi 7 off Suk who would be Elvis one night then Tom Jones the next? I'm thinking early aughts.

 

The Asia Hotel still has an Elvis show most Saturday nights. Mostly attended by the Elvis's relatives. He has a lot of non-Elvis material like If I Had A Hammer in his short set.

 

True: The plural of Elvis is Elvi. Google it.

ah, gatekeeping.

why would you feel the need to make a remark like this? And who are you to set the conditions?

and it You're. As in you are. Not "your"

Meh. I struggle with the heat even though I've been here now for 18 months as a retiree. When it all gets a bit too much I'll seek refuge in the nearest aircon venue before sucking up the big ones and heading back out into the sauna. No shortage of A/C venues in Bangers and Patts so it's all good.

I was dragged to an Elvi show in Jomtien at Xmas, never again. A drag show would have been more entertaining. "At first I was afraid, I was petrified" ????

My last decade was in Appalachia. They describe Elvis's cornball rendition of  The American Trilogy as The American Tri-ology. He sings "I wish I was in Dixie, Hooray, Hooray". When will they cancel this?

 

In Laos, they only have Ballard-Elvis. It's a communist dictate. The Tom Jones/Elvis thing was genius because Tom Jones copied Elvis and then in late-career, Elvis copied Tom Jones back. I talked to the guy about it.

 

My brother married a stripper in Vegas at an Elvis wedding chapel. He had to promise that he would be Don't Be Cruel and never take her to The Heartbreak Hotel.
