Soi Sea Dragon is the hottest point of Patong’s nightlife scene. Recently upgraded (in 2012) by the addition of a lofty roof – highly welcome in low season – which makes it look like a huge booze-and-body emporium. The Soi is also an L-shaped link between Bangla Road and Thaweewong Road (the Beach Road) and stuck right in between the two streets, is the Kee Resort with its rooftop restaurant.
Soi Sea Dragon is a 100m long lane comprising something like 46 bars, beer bars and go-go bars, a souvenir shop, a guesthouse (good luck getting a decent night’s sleep there…), a tattoo parlour, and a hairdresser. It’s pretty obvious that Soi Sea Dragon’s character is easily summed up by four simple words: girls, girls and girls…
The central part of the Soi is dedicated to beer bars (which, by the
way, also serve drinks other than beer). These bars are built in a
two-storey design, and often the smaller bars located on the upper floor
have nothing to do with the one downstairs. Butterfly Bar, Bangla Sexy 9
Bar, Hangover Bar, Nida’s Bar, Drinks & Dreams Bar are just a few
of their names.
People-watching is the order of the day here, When a single man wanders down the lane, you can see the most vivid atavistic sights outside feeding time at Phuket Zoo with the bargirls eyeing their ‘victim’ up like a she-lion tracking a baby wildebeest lagging behind the herd. But strangely enough, there’s no harassment whatsoever, a few girls will ask him if he’d like a drink at their bar, but everything’s done in a gentle manner with a smile. You’ll find the usual bar games here – Connect 4, Jenga, and ‘nail a hammer into the log’; the ubiquitous bar bell (ring it and pay drinks for the house – you have been warned); and a lot of friendly company albeit not for free.
Oddly enough, in the heart of what some would call depravity, some of the bars have a Buddhist spirit house at which bargirls pray for a successful evening. Bar prices are standard; expect to pay about 70-80 baht for a small bottle of beer (prices of May 2013).
