Sapphire Club, situated in Pattaya, Thailand, is one of the most renowned go-go bars, not only in Pattaya but perhaps in all of Thailand. This reputation is, to some extent, attributed to the vigorous promotional campaigns led by the individuals responsible for the bar. The presence of several staff members in an annual bikini calendar, which consistently sells out on Amazon, serves as a testament to the establishment’s popularity.
However, it is essential to acknowledge that popularity does not necessarily equate to quality. For instance, McDonald’s is among the most popular restaurants globally, but it would be a stretch to argue that it is one of the best. Could the quality of its food even hold a candle to that of a run-of-the-mill family-owned restaurant? Similar comparisons can be drawn by examining lists of the highest-grossing and highest-rated films in history.
In this review, I will provide my perspective on Sapphire Club. While I understand that the venue enjoys widespread recognition and is frequented by countless men from all corners of the world, I personally do not consider it one of the best go-go bars in Pattaya, nor does it come close to claiming such a title. Let me elaborate on my reasons.
Sapphire Club on Walking Street Sapphire Club is commonly referred to as a Walking Street go-go bar, and I will do so as well. Nevertheless, it is technically situated on Pattaya Soi 15, just a short distance from Walking Street. It is within easy walking distance of several other bars, including the previously reviewed Dollhouse.
The entrance is guarded by a doorman, and another stern-looking individual keeps watch over the interior. Inside, numerous female staff members circulate, delivering drinks as usual. The drink prices are in line with expectations for Walking Street. While the venue is rather dimly lit, the layout is otherwise standard. The primary distinguishing feature lies in the performers.
Within the bar, there is a substantial, well-constructed circular stage. It is a visually appealing setup. However, the most crucial factor is the women who take the stage. At any given time, there are several performers, many of whom are adorned with numerous tattoos and have undergone extensive plastic surgery. Personally, I don’t have a preference for either of these attributes, although it’s possible that I might be more forgiving if the overall atmosphere were more welcoming.
The Ladies at Sapphire I do not find the female staff at Sapphire to be any more attractive than what one might encounter at an average Walking Street go-go bar. Nevertheless, the ladies appear to hold themselves in high regard. Perhaps they possess insights that elude me. After all, beauty is ultimately subjective, and I am not personally acquainted with any of the women. They might be exceptional individuals, or they may be influenced by their experiences, including photo shoots featured in publications and websites, along with tips and payments from a long list of patrons. The true story remains a mystery.
In any case, I have never encountered more aloof women at any go-go bar in Thailand. I do not consider myself a celebrity, yet I generally receive at least a nod of acknowledgment when I visit any bar in Pattaya. Such common courtesy extends to welcoming patrons into a business. Even in a Thai coffee shop, the staff typically greet customers upon their arrival. At Sapphire, the dancers are more inclined to gaze off into the distance rather than making contact with the men seated inside.
The situation does not improve when it comes to establishing personal connections, even of a temporary nature. The act of buying a lady drink for a dancer at Sapphire may elicit nothing more than a perfunctory “thank you.” The women exhibit minimal interest in engaging in conversation with customers. While they may exit the bar for a fee higher than the average, it is done with a transactional approach, reminiscent of a factory worker. For an expenditure of 6,500 Baht ($209 USD) or more, one might reasonably expect more than a perfunctory “in, out, next.” However, such is the experience at Sapphire, based on my personal encounters and observations of others.
A Summary of Sapphire I must acknowledge that my visits to Sapphire Club have been relatively infrequent. Nevertheless, these visits have provided sufficient insight to arrive at a definitive conclusion. Irrespective of the existence of this website, I see no compelling reason to return to the bar. It’s not a matter of holding any grudges against it; rather, there simply is nothing within the venue that motivates me to invest the time and energy required to reach it.
The reality is that Sapphire Club closely resembles most other go-go bars in many respects. It boasts a stage where women perform in bikinis, serves drinks, and offers lady drinks for the dancers. If you’ve ever visited an agogo or read this website, you are already familiar with the routine. However, in terms of staff and, especially, the level of service, Sapphire Club falls short when compared to the best or even mid-range clubs of its kind.
Sapphire is by no means a terrible establishment. There are certainly worse places to be, such as the Black Dolphin in Russia. However, it fails to distinguish itself from the multitude of other go-go bars, with the exception of the notably reserved and indifferent demeanor of the women. Given that this is fundamentally a pay-to-play venue, such an attitude does not align well. While I acknowledge that many people hold Sapphire in high regard, I do not share the same sentiment. In my estimation, Sapphire Club ranks as one of the most overrated adult entertainment venues in all of Thailand. As the content creator for this website, my perspective is the sole determining factor.
