Lady boy bar. Closed in early 2010. Re-opened in August 2010.

The opening notices heralded girls and lady boys but it is hard to believe that the girly side will last

 We Are No 1 A-GoGo

Renamed from Champion 2. Thai run gogo that suffers from overly long dancing stints for the girls.

Make sure you get your change, the bar seems to assume that small change is a tip without asking first.

  Review August 2010: No 1 for Naff

If there was a prize for the most naff GoGo in the Jomtien area then We Are No 1 could make a valid claim.

It's certainly not the worst GoGo in Pattaya, that award would be reserved for those that were rip off joints or were hasslesome or dishonest.

We Are No 1 has no such negative attributes, and generally everything is fair, friendly and above board.

But it is the way it operates that is so naff. The bar features a stage full of below average girls and hardly any left over for customer care duties. There doesn't seem anything to entertain, either customers into watching pretty girls dance, or else those that like a bit of interaction.

Presumably the handful of customers simply aren't aware that there are 50 better GoGos over the hill in Pattaya, or else they go for the pretty good selection of rock videos shown on a couple of very large screens.

  Review Feb 2010: Little Competition

There is not really much on offer in this bar. The girls are a little below average and there is no showing. The girls are friendly enough, but too many are set to dancing, and any girl sitting at your side will soon be recalled to the stage.

The bar does offer decent rock videos on two large screens and these have been recently supplemented by 2 large TVs for customers at the other end of the bar.

If the bar was in Pattaya, it would stand no chance. But in fact there is little aircon competition in Jomtien, so I still drop buy every couple of months when I have exhausted the alternative options.

On my last visit I was entertained most by watching dancers arrive at the bar in civvies.  They'd appear a few minutes later in dance attire. One girl in particular arrived looking just like a prim and proper office middle manger. Great to see the transformation to GoGo dancer.

  Review June 2009: Scaled Down

The bar seems to have scaled down a bit since my last visit and no longer opens on weekday afternoons.

There were also a few less girls dancing.

But as always, the bar does very little in making me interested in what's on offer. They had 6 of the nine girls dancing. Below average and overdressed in bikinis. Hardly riveting stuff.

But because the bar has so many girls dancing, then there is hardly any opportunity for a chat with lady drinks for the girls.

However it does provide a little aircon and a place to rest one's wearing legs after a stroll along the beach. The staff are friendly enough, the drinks are reasonable and there's no hassle.

They really need to get half the bar curtained off, and so cut back the number of girls dancing. Then they might find a bit more time for the customers. Who knows? a few guys may even then come back for a return visit.

  Review Dec 2008: Worse Therefore Better

The bar seems to keep plodding on and if anything the number of customers and dancing girls has dropped off a bit.

Before they used have about a dozen girls in the bar of which 9 would be dancing. On my last visit they had only 9 girls of which 6 were dancing.

Still lousy ratios of time available for the girls to sit with the customers, but at least the 6 song wait is better than a 9 song wait.

It is all a bit of a shame as the girls seem pretty good at looking after their customerd. If only they were given a bit more time I am sure the bar would be worth visiting. The girls would definitely be more entertaining playing with customers than dancing for them. They are a little lacking in glitz and glamour

The music is well selected rock classic concert performances relayed on 2 very large screens.

Otherwise the service girls and managers are friendly enough. The drinks are reasonably priced and there's plenty of empty seats to lounge around in.

  Review April 2008: Unchanging

Nothing very much seems to improve at this bar but it seems to keep soldiering on with a smattering of customers.

It would be tempting to think that a business consultant could suggest a few blatantly obvious improvements.

The main problem is that there are simply too many girls dancing and not enough circulating amongst the customers. The girls are simply not pretty enough to entertain as dancers, and there is not any attempt to entertain with nudity or sexy shows either.

The girls also have a habit of plonking themselves down by your side and not shifting if you show no interest. This policy doesn't really allow another girl to try her luck.

On the plus side, the service is good and and there is no hassle whatsoever in the bar. The beer is reasonably priced and they play farang friendly music

  Review Aug 2007: Pits Stop

This bar is a convenient point for an air con break when walking the length of Jomtien beach. Unfortunately they have hardly ever capitalised on the opportunity to extract a lady drink out of me.

The girls aren't that pretty, they are generally overdressed and they spend most of their time dancing...

...And when they  do find  a few moments to try for a lady drink, they are sort of already demoralised and give up in the middle of trying. They end up just plonking themselves by your side in defiant silence.

There seems no particular reason why the shouldn't sharpen up their ideas...they just don't

Easily the worst gogo that I regularly go to!

Notes


The reviews are those that I come across on the web, in guide books, from contributors and of course from my own visits. Reviewers may be unreasonably harsh and bar owners may present a rosy picture of their bars...so don't take everything at face value...go and see for yourself.

Nudity cannot be guaranteed and whenever the Pattay police are on the prowl the girls cover up. Closing times are sporadic depending upon local enforcement. 2am or 3am is now the norm.

Anyone with Middle Eastern or South Asian dark skin should be aware that they may receive a rather negative welcome. 90% of gogo bars have unspecified entry restrictions which can be hard to tie down as different people have had different receptions. Unwelcome faces will be told at the door that the bar is suddenly a members only club. Discriminatory maybe, but it is for real, it is based on experience, and it is supported by those who care about the welfare of the girls.

Just a couple of times people have had a bad experience in a bar which is perhaps the fault of an individual employee rather than bar policy. More often then not, the bar would be more than happy to deal with offsite problems even when it is not strictly their problem. To try and be fair to the bars, offsite complaints about employees can only be considered for inclusion if they have first been presented to the bar involved.

Takeaway Prices

  July 2007:  Short Time Edging Up

From Pattaya Secrets and tallies with my own observations

  • Dancing Girl ... ST 1000 / LT 2000 (assuming good performance). I would suggest that you should be willing to add an extra 500 if you get stuck on a model class girl and you find yourself unable to say no.
  • Beer Bar Girl ... ST 500 / LT 1000 (quickie) to ST 700 / LT 1500 (for an entire evening of effort)
  • Street Freelancer ... ST 500 / LT 1000 (no questions, no exceptions)
  • Short Time Bar Girl... Traditionally ST 500 with 250 for the room (+ small tip for good service) but now ST 700 and 300 for the room with the old price only available to those that haggle
