Sweet bar has become one of Soi Six’s most iconic bars, so Ninja’s Sweet birthday party topped our list as a must do
Unfortunately there’s very little video to show, Due to my faithful Nikon Z8 camera crapping out on me. Later I would find the culprit to be myself due to my not making sure that my batteries were fully charged.
Why is Ninja, of all people becoming a Soi Six icon and why should you visit his bar while giving most other bars a pass?
Soi Six is a Pattaya icon. Every bit as much as Walking Street is, which I choose to avoid because I find it so utterly boring. While being as infested by no nothing tourists as a nest of rats. But whatever one can say about Ninja, this mans never boring. And I do believe that he’s slowly but surely attracting a lot of people who come here entirely for him.
So now I must divulge my opinion on how any bar must be run to be successful. A bar must never make its bar girls number one. Because it’s the customers who pay the bar’s bills, and never the girls. Take a bar’s music for example. Even if a bar girl knows her favorite music stone code. Given the chance she’s going to play her customer’s favorite music. Or what she thinks he enjoys the most. And let’s face the facts, most customers coming to Soi Six are thinking only about their dicks. Or getting drunk. So playing good music is the least of their concerns. Playing great music is a Ninja priority. Unfortunately great music is of no importance to most of the other Soi Six bars.
To mention only one example, Mali was playing her music when a bar girl went over to the keyboard and changed the music on her. Turns out the bar girl was sitting with a group of Koreans who were all drunk on their asses, and one of them had the bar girl play his music for him.
That bar girl should never have been allowed to change Mali’s music on her.
Bar girls are temporary employees and nothing more. If the Koreans wanted to play their music, let them get off their lazy asses and get to it.
Anyway, we couldn’t miss Ninja’s Sweet birthday party because he’s savvy enough to hold Mali in high esteem as one of his most prized customers. Mali knows it. And that’s why Sweet Bar is her absolute favorite Soi Six Bar. While I prize Sweet Bar every bit as much as Mali does.
Ninja not only encourages Mali to be the bar’s DJ. He also encourages me to keep changing the music. Ninja also encourages other customers to play their favorite music, which pretty much shuts his bar girls out.
But there’s even more that contributes to making Ninja a Soi Six icon. And that’s a personality and a willingness to soar far above the faceless crowd most humans aspire to.
(Such as all those Americans who voted for Trump). Ninja’s Chinese. Yet he calls himself Ninja. To the Japanese Ninjas were members of a warrior cult that was extremely competent in the martial arts and hand to hand combat. To anyone who’s got even a mediocre grounding in world History the Japanese are not China’s favorite people. So Ninja’s really sticking his neck out by adopting a Japanese pseudonym.
But, we are on Soi Six after all and I can assure you the really good managers here are over the top.
So a Chinese adopting a Japanese persona? Yep, Ninja really fits in.
But let’s not forget about the other bar here. Which consumes barely 50 seconds of video footage.
This is an entirely new bar for me although I’m well familiar with Ray,. The key as I so often mention is what kind of music a bar plays and so far Ray has delivered in spades.
