We know soi 80 as 'the dark side'. As in "let's go for a slide around on the dark side" love it 😍

Almost all of the Bintabaht section seemed to have adopted a buy me dlink attitude, no problem buying a drink but thats more or less all thats on offer down there at the moment. Found soi 80 much more fun and particularly enjoyed Hua Hin Bar...
Is this recent? So sad as I am there this time next week and had some fun in Bintabaht last time. When you say that's all there is on offer....they don't BF?

I did say more or less. I think and it seems a lot of others do, its now more of a tourist trap. Try a night of Soi 80 fun and compare, especially Hua Hin Bar but don't bother with the young beauty that works behind the bar sometimes. She looks great but very limited skills...

I like Maddocks bar. No.pressure from the girls as they are on a salary. Decent drinks and prices. Good sports channels.

Don't get too attached to any one bar-- look at how many revisions they have to make to the area maps at each addition.
There are a few really long-timers but many come and then go as soon as the owner's life savings run out.

Can't say I have a favourite place but one thing that is pervading everywhere, even out in the sticks, is the lady drink rip off. At weak times I relent and buy a lady a beer, note beer not lady drink, when my bill comes and I see 130/150baht and tell them to F. Off as I ordered a beer and only pay beer price.

No cheap Charlie, I'm happy to buy a drink for anyone who is nice to chat with, but not prepared to be ripped off. If the bill is not reduced I pa what it should be and have never had a problem. I'm also happy to give a tip to the staff member who provided good service, I don't see why the owner should take a cut.

Usually the bar girl gets the money which is over the normal bar price of the beer. So the owner does not get more.

For years the Romantic in soi Bintabaht has been my favourite watering hole, but it now has new management.
Although a very basic bar, it's great saving grace was its combination of being genuinely friendly to customers, kind to its staff, and scrupulous straight dealing.

If the new management follows the same formula, then I wish them the very best. I understand that they have it on a 'suck it and see' arrangement, and can walk away in a couple of months if they're not happy with the takings, in which event it reverts to the previous management.

Other bars of note, not previously mentioned, are the Bluebell in soi Selakam, whose mamasan looks stern, but is actually a very kind lady, and the slightly crazy Tiki bar in the alley alongside the temple.
