By dagling , October 7, in Isaan Forum. Will stay in Loei for a few days, and looking for a nice bar where I can meet some farangs and girls in the night. Where to find? Thailand has a visible sex industry, and acknowledgment of that fact is not forbidden. However ThaiVisa is not the place to seek or give information on this topic, regardless of your sexual habits, preferences or orientation.
Information regarding nightclubs etc are fine, just please no specifics regarding the local karaoke bars etc please. Yes, at least that was the case when I was last there. The Loei Orchid is actually on an adjoining street. You would go west from that hotel until coming onto Ruam Pattana at a T junction. This street contains several bars and Robot disco - with coyote dancers. I stayed in the Orchid myself once and found that the establishments in the immediate vicinity are mainly massage parlours: they will sell you a drink but are pretty boring if you don't want a massage.
Otherwise I didn't find very much. The Royal Inn had an okay bar on a corner, and further around the corner and past the hotel I found a Thai cafe one floor up from street level - the singers were nice but not that friendly. I thought the best hotel in the centre of town was the King Hotel - also close to the places mentioned, The more expensive Loei Place Hotel is some distance away across a large public park and I think also has a bar.
Citizen33 is spot on. Robot Disco is probably the most popular place. I also been to Loei Orchid. Location is convenient. A nice new hotel is Loei pavilion. The German restaurant he is talking about is a steak house, I think. I live in Loei province and Loei certainly has no farang ghettos. If you wander around the King Hotel area, you can find places to have a beer and there are a number of karaoke joints.
Girls are always available if that's what you are looking for. You wouldn't have to leave the hotel for that. My mate Kun Earth has a great joint with live music regularly. It's on the same side of the road as the hospital main entrance, about m to the left. My mate Chriss owns the steak house mentioned before.
