I'll second mack's advice and say, what’s going to be good or not is up to you. For example, I like VIP for nothing more than the music they play, prices aren't the cheapest and some of the girls have a bit of an attitude at times. Some like the place and some don't.
Its a learning experience, good bar or not so good bar, at least you can say you've been there for yourself. Sure, there are the more popular ones...but with 1 week, that will be enough time for you to work out which ones are to your taste. Just do a one beer - one bar rule and you'll get through them in 1 or 2 nights. Walk down walking street and don't be afraid to explore down the various Soi's and see whats around. After that, explore the rest of the place and troll through the beerbars and see whats around - don't have to stop unless you see something interesting.
Damn, you are on holiday and it’s an adventure...good or bad its going to be fun in Patts. You'll be able to brag about how this stunner or that stunner was a good or bad shag or have a laugh about how your bargirl's tequila LD was switched with water
Have fun and enjoy :wink1:
