OliverKlozerof Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) Just did a search here for "Colosseum." Apparently there's a ladyboy cabaret in Pattaya with that name. But that's not what I'm looking for. When I moved to BKK about 8 years ago there was a place near Thong Lo BTS that also went by that name (I think). Went there once or twice. Cavernous club with fun music/dancing shows by Thais. Mostly Thai audience, but some farang, of course. But shortly after I moved here it was torn down and now there's a tall residential building there. I've been meaning to ask here if anyone knows of a similar type place in BKK. Of course, the closer to Sukhumvit the better. I know there are some very upscale clubs/members clubs/hostess clubs that have bands, but that's also not what I'm interested in. Anyone? Thx Edited September 21, 2014 by Rooo Font Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yimlitnoy Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 German Tawandang on Rama 3, 70 Baht taxi from Sukhumvit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw25rw Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I was also going to suggest the Tawandang places, Prefered Coliseum, which closed in 2007, but these will do. Rama 3 is easier to get to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HidyHo Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Yup ... I just went to Tawandang for the first time this weekend and thought it was very similar to Coliseum from old days. The place gets crowded on weekend night so may need to book in advance. The quality of food, service and entertainment was excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw25rw Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Have been to a couple of Carabao concerts at the 2 venues. Cheap to get in and good food etc. I think there's a similar place in Klong Tan as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band was so late arriving (like 1.5 hours or more), I finally gave up and left! Tawandang sounds worth checking out--thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw25rw Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 The main act usually doesn't come on until really late anyway, so it must have been after midnight.. I went last October to the Rama 3 one and met Mee, the guitarist who I personally think is the most talented musician in the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
