March 15, 20179 yr From Daily Mail (UK) Colourful graffiti vibrantly daubs the concrete walls but music no longer pumps through this deserted nightclub. Batman Nightclub, in Pattaya, Thailand, was abandoned 20 years ago and the only residents of this eerie place filled with discarded rubbish and pools of murky water are vermin and bats. First constructed in 1994, just south of Bangkok, the nightclub was one of Pattaya's most thriving spots for nighttime entertainment, with many Western tourists visiting for a taste of Thai nightlife. But just a year and a half after the official opening, the six-floor club was shut down for underage drinking and drug use. American photographer Dax Ward travelled to the desolate building to photograph the lifeless remains of the bottom floor of the nightclub. He said there was 'an overall sombre vibe about the place... but still some beauty amongst the decay'. Some of the graffiti is fresh from recent events, however.
