2015-08 Censorship: M-R The price of drinks and other items is of course higher than in a go-go bar or pub disco because everything is dressed up that little bit more. Rather different to the cocktail bars, but in the same area, are establishments of interest.
Also known as Dead Artists Soi, as many bars in the Soi are named after famous dead painters. It was a "the firm favourite of the visiting businessman" looking to meet attractive young, and sometimes not so young.
In stark contrast to the youthful exuberance of the Ratchada Rd entertainment areas, Sukhumvit Soi 33 is most everything the opposite.
It all started about 20 years ago, when about three shop houses were converted into cocktail bars for the discerning gentleman having a night out on the town, and not necessarily with his wife and family.
Because of the nature of the clientele, Soi 33 is actually busier on w
eekdays than it is on weekends when most traditional patrons are out of town, playing golf or at home.
Many of the bars belong to the same owner who has a deep interest in the fine arts and named his outlets after famous impressionist painters such as Vincent Van Gogh, Renoir, Degas, Monet, and Gauguin. Carrying on the artistic tradition, other clubs include Dali and Goya Club. These bars are shown in the Longdo map link for this zone.
They are all quite similar, both outside, where the best of the goods may be on display wearing evening gowns and high-heeled shoes, and inside where seating and décor can best be described as being somewhere between Chinese Kitsch and Jewish Renaissance. The ambiance of the clubs is supposed to be sophisticated and relaxed, but of course it doesn't always work out like that!
Closing time is 1.00am but most will stay open until 2am if enough customers are still spending money.
