The Date is 2006, and it's Edie's birthday at the Nakua Malai Bar. Edie will become a Pattaya Tragedy
But only a few years ago, Edie had the best band in Naklua
By Jack Corbett
And Unlike most beer bars today, Eddie had some really cute girls working for her.
Let me take you back in time to the good old days
It's Edie's birthday and she's gone balls ouot to bring in a few pretty girls from Sattahip decked out in special uniforms. These girls are not Edie's bar girls. But Edie's birthday party as sensational as it was, would be a harbinger of a Pattaya tragedy.
At this time Mali Bar was the best bar in Naklua and in my opinion the best bar in Pattaya.

Cope during a photo shoot at my Naklua condo. She was about twenty back then. She would later mature to be even more beautiful with a far better command of English than she had in the old Malai Bar days. |
Cope, on of the prettiest girls dancing is now living in Germany after marrying a German. Which is probably good for her, but bad for the rest of us. She was very pretty and even prettier than the last time I saw her.
There's a beautiful lady in the video dancing next to Cope. You wouldn't believe she's a ladyboy though. Like Cope we haven't seen her in Pattaya for years.
Today (it's August 2017), the band is nowwhere to be found. The Malai Bar is barely open. It sits there devoid of customers while its owners wait in Bangkok for a buyer. A single woman looks after the place as caretaker. But I can still buy drinks there and sometimes I go over to talk with her.

At this time Malai Bar was the best bar in Naklua hands down. And in my opinion the best bar in all Pattaya, thanks to Ed. |

But back to the Golden Years of Malai Bar
Edie being a very special kind of bar owner always paid her band a lot of money. She also had a LOt more customers than any other bar arouond. If all this sounds like a Pattaya tragedy,it gets much worse.
My tilak in this video is no longer in my life. She was Edie's niece, and it was because of her that I used to come to the Malia Bar quite often. So did most of my friends.
Edie was a very special kind of bar owners, the likes of whom we will probably never see again. But in spite of her brilliance at running a bar, she somehow lost a lot of money and had to sell the bar.
The Malai Bar would never be the same again. NOt even close. But the real Pattaya tragedy here isthere is not a sinle bar in Naklua, Thailand since the Girl Beer Barthat is even 10 percent of what the Malai Bar once was. The Malai Bar no longer has any customers except for an occasional man or woman who wants to have a drink with the bar's solitary caretaker. It sits there next to the Pen Bar, vacant, in mute tesitmoney to all the great times we all used to have there. When any man or woman who wanted to put on a show could come up and sing or dance in front of the crowd.
Which you will see in this video. There is a beautiful incredibly sexy Thai woman dancing as Edie's band plays "Suzie Q". Then there's a muscular hadnsome German playing the guitar as he sings, "Welcome to the Free World." The video ends with Edie getting practically everyone, including her bar girls and cusomters, dancing.
But the final tragedy is Edie was murdered
several years ago while driving her bar back to Sattahip from a Soi 7 or 8 bar she had been managing. This video's for her.
