Popular Post Tawan Forever Posted yesterday at 02:26 AM Popular Post Posted yesterday at 02:26 AM My first attempt at a report here, please go easy me! I just returned from my latest trip to BKK, and my first trip since Atlas opened, I was very keen to check out the new competition to Tawan. It was a Friday night, the scene was quite busy, the outside of Atlas looks very impressive, modern, my anticipation was rising. I entered to find a very large and well appointed venue, with one customer, and 6 very ordinary looking guys on stage, 4 skinny fat, and 2 beefy (the beefy were a possibility failing all else) certainly no muscle. These guys looked totally bored, hardly looked at us, could not even raise a smile, not even interacting with each other.The other customer finished his beer and left, that left me the only customer, being totally ignored and feeling rather awkward. I called one of the staff over and interviewed them for a bit, I was told there would be no show and assured that Saturday night would be crowded! I wished them luck and headed to my beloved Tawan Bar... There I was greeted with smiles and guys asking me to flex, and flexing at me. The place was reasonably crowded, I was given my table in prime position. The guys ranged from twinks, to beefy, to real muscle. There were at least 4 guys that I would consider, one a very cute young guy with some good firm tight muscle, he will grow well if he wants to, and one bodybuilder just recently from winning several titles. He saddled up to me, was very attentive and spoke reasonable English. The guys on stage still look bored, and still using their phones, but they do at least look up, smile, and interact if you catch their eye. They also have fun and give cheek with each other on stage and with the staff in the audience. This gives the place the fun friendly vibe that was totally lacking in Atlas. Come Saturday night I returned to Atlas, same disinterested guys, no audience, so again no show....So it was back to the fun and frivolity of Tawan, where the place was busier than the night before, the guys even more attentive to see my return, and my bodybuilder guy got an excursion to my hotel I think I will give Atlas the new name of Alas.... I am totally at a loss why anyone would open a bar in direct completion to a long established venue and not only copy but surpass all that is wrong with the original! Both bars need a huge revamp (Oh god I could get these places heaving!) but Atlas is not going to survive if they don't act soon! Oh well, at least I don't have to change my user name FunFifties, BjornAgain, Gottab and 8 others 9 1 1 Quote

Foolish Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago I visited Atlas in September and the experience was similar. It was a shame cos on my previous visit in April, Atlas had a great show and the guys were so friendly. Dunno what happened to them for this 180° change... Quote
