Is It Worth It

[muythai2013]

I want to hit the town as usual when i get back to Thailand, I have checked out the biggest and best clubs in the world.

Is the Bed superclub in BKK worth it, they have regular international DJ's, even had the DJ from the beastie boys there.

600bht entry, high for BKK but who care, is it good and has anyone been there.

keep in mind i'm not going for woman, will be with my woman.

Like good clubs, DJ's, Dancing, Hip Hop, any info would be good.

Here's the problem for you;

- The age demographic in TVF skews to the elderly white male segment 45-75

- Those that are younger , probably are not big hip hop fans. I am not. Some of my Thai friends are and it is a constant source of friction if we are in the car and one of them puts on his favourite noise maker. I dutifully pull out a Ramones memory stick as retaliation. They don't like it and a hissy fit ensues.

- Most of the younger Euro set tends towards house/trance/jungle beat club music. Again, something which necessitates retaliation on my part with either a dose of Social Distortion or Motown or some rejuvenating 2tone ska. Club Music people are chased off by anything with a killer horn section.

- The club you reference appeals more to those people who are gainfully employed with a higher paying job and that are younger. Again, not a big demographic when many of the younger people are employed as low wage earning "teachers". They can barely make the rent so "splurging a few thousand baht on a night out would blow their budget.

BTW, the higher end clubs do have "bargirls" however, they tend not to be as in your face as in the local low end beer bar or club. They circulate and will pounce if they see a suitable client. The clubs also have their share of "barboys". I made the mistake of assuming one that was hovering around was staff and handed him my empty glass. He wasn't amused. Fortunately, the battle axe with me took care of. Nothing like a Thai lady accountant to slice and dice me out of trouble.

It's a fantastic club, well worth the visit, it is pricey but I reckon it's worth it!

[HardenedSoul]

I have to agree that you're asking in the wrong place but a few of us, including yours truly, still go to clubs.

Bed Supperclub is ok but if 600 is a bit steep, you could try looking up "Champion Sound" on FB. They bring in the big name DJs from Europe and the US. Just a couple of weeks ago they brought Sandy Rivera (Kings of Tomorrow) over.

Anyway, just send 'em a request and they'll include you on their mailing list. You'll get discounted entry and a couple of free drinks. But only on the nights where they're involved which is usually every other Thursday.

Who knows what ANYTHING is worth? It all depends on the clientel. Some people have more money than brains. Some people spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on Ferraris or Lambos, and there are no roads you can drive them on to get the full value of what they offer. For some people it is all to show off what they have. I have little use for people like that. Most are too shallow to even have a conversation with.

true but money does not really bother me if you know what I mean, I'm not in any way materialistic and thats why I spend, not to show off.

spending 600BHT is hardly showing off anyway,lol.

absolutly right in most cases, however most hip hop singers and DJ's are very open to all Genres.

I absolutly love the ramones, how could you not.

I have a great love of most music, take chuck D of public Enemy the legendary Hip Hop group, he was a Blues Singer in his early days.

I said in the post I like Hip Hop, that does not mean I dont love others.

will check both out, thanks for the tip.

Why is there a bed in the club if bar girls aren't allowed in? Sounds a bit pointless to me.

My son paid $125 to attend some electronic/dj festival in Brisbane last weekend. I was going to complain but then I remembered I paid more than that to see AC/DC a couple of years ago. Hey, to each their own - I'm not young and he's not old. I do turn my volume down slightly these days though.

[endure]

Ok boys - you've all proved you've got enormous willies. Now if you can't answer the OP's question put them away - OK?

[muythai2013]

a few years ago me and and a couple of friends from our camp were drinking with a few American guys, later we found out they were maroon 5, they never mentioned it the whole night.

got free tickets to the concert, they got tickets to Fairtex boxing stadium, they never went of coarse but they were so down to earth, i only like one of there songs however.lol.

unfortunately thats the going rate now, but the festivals are at least a full day of numerous groups.

But it get's confusing...

Festivals were good with 8 bands a day on one stage. it gave you time to go for a burger/wazz/shag....

If you like some real Hip Hop crossover stuff then I'll PM you a few places. They tend to be more metal these days but they're adaptable....

It's all about BASH these days, Bed's played-out IMO.

You're all chasing Stickman's coat-tails boys! It's all out in the suburbs...really....

FYI, Bed is predominately house, very little if any hip hop played, Bash has a hip hop level, but the house floor is where the fun happens

I have been to Bed Supperclub a few times. You can get free entry sometimes if you RSVP via their facebook page.

Bed Supperclub is a nice club with a good sound system but its quite small. It's cut into 2 rooms and usually only one of the rooms has the DJs in. Drinks are quite expensive. 350 baht for a Grey Goose vodka and a mixer and its 210 baht for a SMALL beer. So it's quite overpriced...

I usually go hang out by one of the campervan bars on the street beforehand, get some cheap drinks down me there and then head into Bed Supperclub.

p.s. They also have a rule of no shorts, flip flops etc. So don't turn up looking like you hang out by Khao San.
