Nikky Bar’s last night. because on February 1 all businesses from Pattaya Dolphin circle to Naklua 33 are closed

A lot of us were expecting one last big bash to celebrate Nikky bars last night. But when I talked with Nikky about it, she told me, “I want to go out quietly. And just have a relaxed evening. Nothing special. Which is about the way things turned out. I took Mali out for Japanese food at the Centara Grand Mirage Resort, so we arrived at Nikky bar after 9 p.m. Luckily Mimi was there, and I had brought my Nikon along hoping to get some passable video.

Before we started hitting the tequila too hard I had Nikky play “Get down Saturday night”, which Mali loves dancing to.

Now I know a lot of people will be asking me, “Is Nikky going to get another bar? But as of Kikky bar’s last night on January 31, 2024, Nikky was still undecided although if I were to bet, “she won’t. Or at least not in the short term.

So, Naklua’s taken yet another turn for the worse with Nikky Bar’s last night finally here.

Several years ago, Nikky had a much larger bar right on Soi 33 across from Grottinos Pizza. The bar had a pair of dancing poles. Had Nikky been able to keep her first bar our three dancing contests might have turned out dramatically different. Because the best pole dancers might have turned out to be the big winners. But the powers that be cleaned out the entire north side of Soi 33 to make room for a hotel where they could put even more Chinese, Koreans, and high sole Thais. Several good restaurants had to move away. And both Nikky and Cocktail bar had to move off that side of the street.

Gone forever are the Pattaya Dancing Queen competitions which no other Pattaya bar did before. Or it one did, did not do nearly so well. Which is sad. Because Pattaya lose its vibrant night life so that progress that practically no one wants can take place.
