Thursday night I decided to visit a place that I have never visited before. And, a place that I haven't seen any reports on this forum about: Cockatoo in Soi Cowboy.
Most know that Cockatoo is the only ladyboy bar in Cowboy and is pretty new. I had no idea what to expect, having never visited a ladyboy bar before. But, I didn't want to visit it alone. (Insert snide remarks here.) Visiting with another guy in tow wasn't going to do it either.
So, I went to Afterskool. I talked to the girls and asked one that I knew if she wanted to go with me. She said she would love to, as she wanted to see what the inside of the bar was like. Perhaps not everyone knows that you don't have to bar fine an Afterskool girl if you want to take her out drinking unless she is a dancer or behind the bar. Off we went to Cockatoo.
Cockatoo is directly across from Baccara/Shark at the Soi 23 end.
Only a couple of "ladies" outside. Inside its a small bar with bar stands on both sides and a long dance stage (more of a posing stage) in between. There were about 7 on the stage, plus a couple of servers and a mamasan in a dress. All the dancers were in shorts and tops.
Despite being fooled a couple of times in the past, all of dancers in Cockatoo were very clearly men IMO. Faces and asses were dead giveaways, as well as all the other regular signs. There were in excess of 12 dancers total and may have been quite a bit more - I didn't think to count them all.
Only 1 other guy was in the bar, and he was also accompanied by a girl. But, by the time we left at about 10:30 the bar was filled. AFAIK, all the other guys were Japanese, but they could have been from some other SEA country.
In a scene reminiscent of Afterskool, we were immediately swarmed by the dancers. I discussed options with my Afterskool girl (ASG) and we selected one of the dancers to have a LD with us. The others hemmed and hawed for a bit, but then returned to the stage. My ASG and the dancer had a quick but intense conversation, then the dancer put his/her hand on my knee and started the introduction routine.
ASG said she had been quizzed about our status together: were we married? Girlfriend? Did I just bar fine her? She replied that she was just a friend and that we wanted to visit the bar and find out what it was like. She was laughing the whole time.
The dancer was full of information. Only 20, and been at Cockatoo for 2 months. Before that she danced at Cascade in Nana for a year. The owners of Cascade own Cockatoo. Business is a bit slow, but later at night there are lots of Asian customers as well as farangs. She said they didn't have any shows at Cockatoo, but if we wanted to see the "good shows" we could go to Patpong.
LDs were 130bt. A diet coke and a Bacardi Breezer were 255bt total. The dancer I talked to was pleasant and English decent, but when she couldn't express herself in English she would jabber to the ASG and the ASG would translate for me.
While we were there 2 of the dancers were bar fined (including one by the guy who was in the bar when we first entered - it probably made a very interesting 3-some). I didn't ask about bar fines and prices.
One of the servers looked right out of some horror movie. Very strong masculine face with a lot of makeup. But, they were polite and provided quick efficient service. The mamasan was in a red dress. We never interacted, but I noticed that she was directing the dancers as to where they should dance/pose on the stage. The dancers would naturally gravitate to any customer who didn't already have someone with him.
A very interesting experience, but one I won't repeat. My ASG and I retreated to Deja Vue and watched real (if occasionally too young) girls gyrate.

LOL! Nice one RIT I like to visit a LB bar when in LOS (dont think there are many in other places?) they are bizarre places and interesting if the LB's are not from horror movies.
A couple I have met were crazy good fun others were very unstable but I guess that goes with the male/female shift?

I won't name the ASG. She was nice enough (or bored enough in the bar) to join me. We actually had a long talk where she told me about her family, how she entered the business, things she likes and things she hates, people she likes and people she hates, finances, etc.
I will say that there were several girls interested in going, and that I had my choice. From my experience, going to the smaller bars gives you a much greater chance of finding girls who would be interested in stuff like this.
Just treat the girls like people. They appreciate that. They have to deal with loud, drunk, smelly, obnoxious, boastful customers every day. Just not being any of those goes a long way in having fun with them. (Of course, never lose sight of the fact that YOU are a customer, as well as a potential ATM.)

Absolutely correct!
While small bars have their disadvantages, there are some nice things about them:
1) Generally lower prices;
2) No coyote girls;
3) Music is generally lower in volume;
4) Girls easier to chat up;
5) Generally more relaxed rules
Depending on your criteria you can find girls almost anywhere. Just remember, everything really is up to you.
