Chrome Pole Report

I finally made it to The Blue Lagoon (the gogo club from which so many of Bob's TQ2 Thursday night wet-T-shirt top-heavy contestants come from).

Actually, it's not so much a gogo club as it is a table top club (as evidenced by the mirrored and uplit table in the photo). I wasn't to keen on the 'unsnappable' undwear-skirt combination the girls were wearing because unsnapped, the bikini bottoms hung not at all unlike big saggy diapers.

I went along with Rick from Margaritavilla and Canuk Keith, and while at the club, two more friends of Rick's arrived, making us a party of 5.

One thing I was expecting and was right about was the serving girls (as opposed to the dancers): Very pretty. Two of the waitresses were, in fact, top-shelf gorgeous, and another two were far above average as well.

The dancers were okay, with appearances being about standard for Pattaya: A few real pretty girls, a big middle population in which your own, debateable, personal opinion of beauty is required, and a handful of dancers who are obviously just in it because they enjoy standing on tables.

The one place where The Blue Lagoon scores top points is their music. It's the same technocrap you hear everywhere else, but it is actually being played at reasonable volumes. In other words, with 5 people sitting in a row, the 2 people on either end can actually hear each other talking. (If you're not one to frequent gogo bars, you have no idea what a rare find this is.) That alone makes The Blue Lagoon a top choice in my book.

Now comes the hard part: Finding the place. On Pattaya South road, exactly opposite from Soi Day-Night, is another road. Immediately on the left of that road is Center Condo... impossible to miss as it is probably the largest apartment building in Pattaya. Drive through the parking lot to the far side, and then The Blue Lagoon is hard to miss, with a brightly-lit open-air front area, and a door leading back to the gogo area.

Anyway, I sincerely hope this place manages to hold its own because, much like TQ1 and TQ2, this is a gogo bar which is really not looking for the tourist dollar. This is a gogo bar for the locals, and it is a place that the locals can enjoy.
