Ever wondered what happens when a nightclub's policies clash with their profit motives? In this laughter-filled exploration of Pattaya's club scene, we reveal how venues like Juju are bending their own rules about ladyboy entry when paying customers are involved. 

The recently repaired "Soi Pothole" (finally!) provides easier access to Juju, where despite its convenient location near Soi Buakhao, we encountered repetitive music, predictable dance routines, and even a tense standoff over a partially spilled drink. We share the story of how management nearly lost thousands in future business over a 200 baht tequila shot - a perfect example of short-sighted customer service.

Things get hilariously awkward when we discuss the bathroom attendants who offer unrequested massages while patrons are using the facilities. Women's restrooms feature the entrepreneurial "Madame Pippi" selling everything from cosmetics to candy, creating a unique Thai nightlife experience that often surprises first-time visitors.

We also uncover fascinating cultural dynamics, including how bar workers informally rank nationalities based on perceived desirability as customers, and the surprising statistics about which countries are currently sending the most tourists to Thailand (hint: it's not who you think!). And don't miss our discussion about the frustrating clothing shopping experience for larger Westerners in a country that somehow manages to stock size 46 high heels for ladyboys but can't seem to stock XXL shirts.

Whether you're planning a trip to Pattaya or just enjoy anthropological deep dives into nightlife culture, this episode offers authentic insights beyond the typical tourist experience. If you're visiting Pattaya, reach out to us - we'd love to meet up and show you around!
