This bustling but not too expensive bar lives up to its name. The cabaret shows at 10:30 PM are adventurous, and include special break dance performances by the B-Boys on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The management is full of wheezes, such as Boy Bingo on the 22nd of every month, and 1,000 Baht in the Bikini on Fridays and Saturdays: the customer who finds the money in a boy’s bikini gets a free off. Offs are free after midnight, too, for customers who buy two or more drinks. The drinks menu includes Jello Shots (an alcoholic confection from America, according to our International Tippling Correspondent), and Happy Hour is 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM. So go and get happy!

Toy Boys
325/100 Pattayaland Soi 3
Phone: (0) 3842 - 3304
Large bar with comfortable seating, large central stage, large selection of dancers, those who are not dancing sit around the stage and try to make eye contact with customers, but are not usually pushy. Has been a popular bar for a long time, but the main complaint seems to be that the dancers don't rotate on stage quickly enough.
