Update from December
RCA in Ao Nang has around 10 bars running. Was quoted 1k bf, which i refused. Each bar has at least 10 chicks.
Krabi - previously mentioned soapy still open, they keep price 2k, selection rather poor, but service still okay.
Above described Karaoke area has only one bar open, girls not entusiastic into farangs, so i skipped. At least basic spoken thai definitely needed and if you are into asian girly karaoke give it a try, me not lol.
Plenty of thai massage shops for hj (typically 1k, negotiable) in Ao Nang.
