I finally made it to the Pent so here is the report from it:
The Pent Bangkok is a so called Coyote Club. This name was created after the movie with the same name. This movie caused the opening of numerous bars/clubs in Bangkok with a similar concept. Sexy girls that know how to dance, lots of guys drinking, the girls getting drunk, too
etc. The Pent more or less is set up like a real nightclub. When you enter the place you come directly into a nice lounge room. On the left is a bar, then some stairs down into a space with couches and a stage where a Thai band played cover songs. The band was good. Of course first thing you notice is that there is amazingly beautiful girls sitting around everywhere. Now these are not your normal Thai women but most of them young, a lot of them students, and 90% of them hit a 8-10 in looks on a scale from 1-10.
We went right to the other side of the Pent club though. You pass the lounge, go through another door and come into the club room. There are some bar counters where you can sit and the girls have enough space to dance on the counters. A DJ plays mainly Hip Hop but during the night changes to techno, some Thai songs (but really only some very few) and then back to Hip Hop. The crowd is mixed. There are younger guys in there but there are also older people. It really doesn’t matter here whereas the older ones are probably more liked as they tend to spend more money. On the right side of the club room is another separate room of the same size holding a swimming pool but when I was there nobody was in there or even in that room. Would have been nice to see some of the girls in Bikinis there.
Now the way it works is the following. To go to the pent, either you need to buy a bottle or you become a member. Becoming a member is definitely the way to go as it will safe you a lot of money.
A membership is 20000 Baht and gives you 10 bottles of whiskey plus all mixers are free. This is excellent as normally you spend a lot on the mixers and even though I didn’t check the price of a bottle without being a member I guess it will be in the region of at least 3000 Baht or more.
Coming to the club room you will be approached by the mamasan sooner or later. Nothing is pushy here though.She will ask you if you want a girl to sit with you but if you say no this is no problem… Then again, why come to The Pent if you don’t want one of the pretty hostesses? (more…)
