Seems like a rip off to me. Around 500 baht per person for 20 mins. I think you get a few vodkas thrown in. Sounds like crazy pricing to me. So that's around $50/hour per person. Not exactly what you'd call value for money. Take your gf and that's $100 per hour. LOL.

Why would you want to spend an hour in there??? they sell it as 20 minutes for a reason I would think....500baht for a few vodkas isn't too bad for a gimmick type place, you could go cheaper and sit in the fridge at 7/11 whilst having a booze I suppose if price is a worry for you?
The price doesn't worry me at all. I just don't think it's very good value for money. If people are happy to pay 500 baht for a couple of vodkas just as a gimmick, then that's fine with me. Just seems a bit excessive to me. I wasn't saying you should spend an hour in there. I was just giving an hourly rate as it's an easy way to compare the prices to other forms of entertainment.

I've no need to sit in 7/11. I moved to Thailand for the sun and warm weather, so not sure why I'd want pay to be cold.

But if gimmicks are your thing, go for it.

@w11guy Judging from your response you haven't been to the bar that I am asking for information on, therefore what is the point on even replying to the thread? YOU moved to Thailand for the sun and warm weather, and whilst that's all fine and dandy - I certainly did not. I've been to a few Ice Bars in my time and they've been quite fun. They're certainly different than your average bar. I wouldn't really call it a gimmick. Just an experience. But then the way you're putting it, anything could be a gimmick. "BRB whilst I pay ridiculous amounts of money to do something different!"

#5280805 Visa Run To Savannakhet

The room was ok but was already showing some wear and tear.  The casino is in town and there were lots of tuk-tuks and vans for hire to take you where you need to go.  The driver of Van #20 took me to the consulate and on a tour of the local area for a few hours and then shopping at a few places for 800 baht for the day.  He seemed to be a genuinely nice guy who was proud of his home and enjoyed showing people around.  He also looked out for me when some of the locals tried to jerk me around on some shopping.

#3925690 Hotels In Bangkok Refuse Blacks And Indians

Posted hayden5650 on 2010-10-03 19:05:07

I fail to see how this is a problem.

Many bars do not let them in either, because we don't want to drink with them.

I said to a bargirl once, 'Why do you keep the blacks out?' and she said 'Because if Farang see African man, he not come in'.
I said 'Yep, you're right'.

All they do is try and sell me cocaine, and try to 'look after me' on Sukhumvit. It gets quite tiring.
