PATONG: Soi Eric in Bangla Road's entertainment district has been sold to the owner and operator of Soi Crocodile in what would appear to be a major expansion and what may possibly lead to a new ladyboy entertainment zone, Amnuay Kuabkum, former Manager of Crocodile Disco, has told the Gazette.

Soi Crocodile more commonly known as “Soi Katoey” because of its go-go dancing ladyboys, is home to one of Patong’s most popular strips of beer bars.

K. Amnuay explained that the owner of Soi Crocodile, has decided to forge ahead with plans to merge the two major entertainment areas and create a new upmarket ladyboy attraction popular with many international tourists.

“We are very happy to try to make an area where the tourists can come and meet the ladyboys and take photos and make friends with them but in a nice place with lots of nice bars for all the family,” K. Amnuay said.

“We want to make an area that is clean and has nice seating for the tourists to bring their family which is not so crowded.Many tourists come to Patong to see the Ladyboys but there are too many people in Crocodile and not enough seating to meet all the ladyboys,” he added.

K. Amnuay went on to explain, “We have many ladyboys already who have agreed to work for us in our new entertainment area and the plans already approved and the finance has been agreed but there is still some work to do with the owners of Soi Eric and we want to talk to them first.”

He explained, however, that the owner has taken on a partner to help finance building the new entertainment complex next year.

No, like so many other areas of the tourist industry in Phuket, they are going after the family business. Families come to Phuket hoping to get up close and personal with ladyboys, but they need a clean, trendy, expensive upscale venue where mom, pop, and the kiddies can come to play with the ladyboys.

I can't believe someone hadn't thought of this business plan already! Families and Ladyboys! It's a natural! A match made in heaven! :intello:

Brilliant, new amusement park "Six Fags"

The rides are fun but stay away from the waterpark.

Just heard it will be compulsory for all bars left in Soi Eric to have a minimum of 2 ladyboys working in them as there will be an influx of ladyboys drawn to Phuket because of this new complex.

Also there will be a new bar game for customers to enjoy called "Hunt The Sausage"

If there isn't enough seating tell them to just turn the barstools over and they can fit four to a stool...problem solved.

[SkepDoc 3.0]

Trust an Ausi to bring down a thread like this. Fvck me, he may as well have said that it was bought by a consortium of Hashers...55555555555

Not a bad idea reallly

This will greatly reduce the enjoyment of having your crotch grabbed by BGs as you pass by on your way to a bar. Or at least make it more confusing.

Perhaps the LBs should be forced to wear flashing lights strapped to their heads. Or even better clown outfits, with the ar*e cut out of them. That will be good for the families.

Good wholesome family fun for the kids. Come on kids lets go and ring the bell and have shots of sambuca with the transgenders. I told you this would be better than Disneyland.

Wanting to know whether this takeover of soi eric were true or not so i check with the owner of soi croc Mr. Somphet Moosopon about it.

He clarified that no such merger/takeover had ever occurred or are in the plannings whatsoever.

Just a bullsh!t joke!! kept me worried for a while about losing soi eric to the LBs though!
