Nana Plaza. Random Go Go. Formerly Known as Straps?
[QUOTE=GinAndTonic555;2493693]Random used to be where a ladyboy bar was. It's a new one. I can't remember the name of the LB bar, but its right by the stairs on the second floor right when you go up. [/QUOTE]It's been awhile, but I think the predecessor to Random Go Ga was called Straps -- which was a ladyboy bar. When I last visited in the winter of 2018 there were some VERY attractive dancers in Straps, who I suspect were post-op. If so, kudos to their surgeon. There were also dancers who set off my ladyboy alarm. They were too tall, they had oversize hands, they had low voices, and (the most obvious tell for me) their exaggerated "feminine" mannerisms were far from natural.
Some of the servers were definitely ladyboys, but there was one real women an older sturdier type who looked like she had been serving drunk falang in Nana Plaza for years. I asked her straight up: "What kind bar this? Lady? Or ladyboy?"
"Lady!" she insisted with some vehemence. She then fired up the calculator function on her phone to brief me on the price structure. A session "upstairs" was 3,700. Short time in my room was 4,700 and long time was 6,700.
That price structure seemed designed to encourage sessions "upstairs." Puzzling, I thought. I suspect the pricing aims to avoid the scenario where a customer gets back to his hotel and the ID check proves to be an unpleasant surprise. Perhaps the bar's view is that post-op dancers are, in fact, "ladies" and what the customer doesn't know won't hurt him.
But I was only in there once, and for not very long. So my largely uninformed speculation may be all wrong. As they say on the Interwebs, YMMV, IMHO etc. etc. etc. Besides, the Straps go go is long gone and this analysis is nothing more than an effort to post something here that's not virus related.
