Have you been to Ban Chang?
Have you been to Ban Chang, the
golfers paradise, oh wait, hang on a
minute, are we talking about playing
with the same balls?
Ban Chang is a small district heading
towards Rayong. However, what Ban
Chang it is most commonly known for,
is Soi Tessabahn 25, known as the Ban Chang strip. This street is a mini
version of Pattaya’
a Soi 6, in terms of the fact it has around thirty bars
located either side of the road. Now don’
t get too excited, when we say Soi 6
it’
s more so you can picture a street with lots of bars, not bars crammed full
of girls in outrageously sexy outfits all waiting to show you a good time.
Ban Chang is a lot less out there, the
bars are a lot quieter, but still have
plenty of girls working. Last year Ban
Chang was visited by the local
authorities and a lot of the facilities
upstairs were shut down.
A lot of the bars you will need to go inside
before the action hots up, as they won’
t play
about outside in view of everyone. But hey,
we all know when the doors close, what goes
on behind the doors stays behind the doors! The nice thing about Ban Chang
and the strip is the fact that you can quite easily hit every bar and still be in a
reasonable state come the end of your bar crawl, so don’
t worry, you won’
t
miss out on anything.
GO PARTY AND ENJOY YOURSELF!
If you are a day tripper, then head to bang Chang, it’
s only a 30/40 minute
drive from Pattaya and a baht bus will take you there if you want to book
one. There is also a very cheap hotel just before you get into the bar area on
the left hand side as you come from Pattaya, can’
t remember the name but a
room for the night is 400 baht.
