For
one of the best hostess bars on Soi 33 you need go no farther
than Christie's Club. It is the first bar on the left as walk
from Sukhumvit Road and is easy to recognize because it has
a life size statue of a horse in front. You will usually see
four or five young ladies in flowing evening wear sitting
at one of the tables in front. You can sit outside with one
or more of them and watch the passing scene
while you sip a beer or a cocktail.
Inside
you will find, in addition to other beautiful girls, a pool
table, dart board and other ways to pleasantly pass the time.
Unlike some of the other establishments on the soi, the music
is not too loud, and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Christie's
can be crowded on weekends with expatriates and Thai businessmen,
but if you go during the week you will usually find you are
outnumbered by the charming hostesses.
During
happy hour beer costs 80 baht and lady drinks 70 baht. After
9 pm beer costs 150 baht and lady drinks cost 130 baht. If
one of the attractive young lasses catches your fancy, the
fee payable to Christie's for escorting her to somewhere more
private is 1,200 baht. Negotiations with the young lady are
separate.
