I am not saying the discos are shit, because they are not.
all i am saying is that a club is needed where the empasis is on the music as oppsed to BG's. Lets face it, if the Patong clubs had no BG's no one would go. They are just 'meat markets'. If you are holiday for a few weeks then all you will thiink about is shagging BGs. If you live there, or spend an extended amount of time there, the BGs can get on your tits. The attitude of some farangs (particually Italians), who think that little BG is his 'girlfriend', also gets monotonous.
Having a good club may attract some of the 'Ibiza type' but whats wrong with that. Ok, they do drugs, but so do loads of people who already go to LOS. Patong isnt the sex tourism hotbed of Thailand....yet, but it could well go that way and be Pattaya2. Having other attractions will stop it going that way which can only be good as there is so much more to Phuket than bargirls. The guys in Patong, who are there just to get their **** wet, wont agree...if so..why dont you go to Pattaya?
