A reproduction of one of the old Grand Prix postcards.
PATPONG  I

         Last month we ran short of time, so we were not able to assemble all the photographs for the Grand Prix Story in time for the deadline.   At the outset of these preparations, we realized that the story of the Grand Prix was inseparable from the story of Rick Menard (at least for those years), as Rick was the Grand Prix - he conceived of it, built it and successfully helmed it for more than two decades, before selling it and moving on.
One from the scrap book.   Rick Menard officially opens the door to what would become a "Bangkok Classic".
PATPONG  I

The Grand Prix story actually started in Viet Nam during the Viet Nam War in 1962; Rick was stationed there in Nha Trang in the U.S. military.   (While assigned there, Rick made history of sorts, when he became the first U.S. Serviceman to get married in-country (legitimately through proper channels) to a Vietnamese national.

Although Rick's military obligation was behind him, Southeast Asia was not.   It was too late; Southeast Asia had already got it's hooks into him.   After his time in the service, he joined with a civilian company there in Viet Nam in 1966, and continued on until mid-1968, when the company transferred him to Korat, here in Thailand.

No explanation necessary here - 20 years into the game, and still going strong.   Preparations are under way for the three-day blow-out.....
PATPONG  I
Not long after that, while in Bangkok, he met Udom Patpong in the Other Office Bar, predecessor to the Old Other Office Bar, which is still on Patpong II today.   One thing led to another, and over a handshake, he and the senior Khun Patpong agreed that Rick should open a bar.   It was decided that Rick would build his bar in what was then a gift shop / barber shop on Patpong I.

Rick quit his job -virtually the next day- and went to work on what was to be the Grand Prix Cocktail Lounge and Bar. (Later to be the Grand Prix Disco - but as you will see, 'disco' was just a name, and didn't begin to describe the Grand Prix.)
Sometimes, "Standing Room Only" meant you had to stand in the booth to see what was happening on the A Go-Go stage.
PATPONG  I

On the 6th of February, 1969, the Grand Prix opened it's doors to the Patpong public.   Rick was not content to run just a "Cocktail Lounge and Bar", however.   He very quickly began to expand the temptations found within.   The Grand Prix was soon one of the first, if not THE first Sports Bar for expats in Thailand.   It was definitely the premier Sports Bar, however, as we would pack ourselves in every weekend to watch boxing films, and whatever else was 'on the menu'.   I recall seeing two photographs, I think from Esquire Magazine; one of Cassius Clay's fist, and the other of George Foreman's - life size.

But even more significantly, as previously chronicled in Alan Dawson's book, Patpong, it was the Grand Prix which first successfully introduced A Go-Go dancing to Bangkok.   Bangkok Eyes will normally attribute the status of 'seminal bar' to the first influential, or trend-setting bar in a given Night Entertainment Area.   However, in the case of the Grand Prix, we will be obliged to recognize that Night Venue as seminal to the entire Night Entertainment Industry of Thailand.
Some Australian Embassy types dropping by to sit in on a jazz session.
PATPONG  I

But the Grand Prix didn't stop there. If you wanted something to eat - you just ordered it.   It would either be ordered in for you, or made for you on premises.   For a while Bobby even had a corner inside the bar serving up his famous hotdogs.

We're not done yet - the Grand Prix was also one of the several 'hot spots' for live entertainment.   Vic Luna and his Dixieland Band were a regular feature every Sunday afternoon in the early 1970's - not to mention several others, many just volunteers who would come in from time to time to jam.
Here is a glimpse of why the Grand Prix was so often SRO (Standing Room Only).
PATPONG  I

And, neither was Rick done yet.   Rick at various times during the 22 years he owned the Grand Prix, also owned the next-door Pit Stop bar, and converted the old UPI office into the UP-1 bar, and bought, and then sold, the Other Office Bar, where he first met Khun Patpong.

The Grand Prix' reputation was soon to spread far from these shores.   As Bangkok's premier Sports Bar, it attracted a great number of sports personalities and other celebrities.   Some of those who dropped in to visit the Grand Prix over those 22 years…. Mr & Mrs Walter Cronkite, Jackie Stewart, Don King, Pinklon Thomas, Ed Brady, Meredith Viera, Bob Hope, Tennessee Williams, Robert Ginty, Willem Dafoe, Gregory Hines, Craig Johnston (Liverpool United), Sam Waterson, Cozey Cole, and "many others".   ( CLICK HERE and see Anton Perera's newspaper article on the closing of the Grand Prix.)
Another look at the A Go-Go crew and the nightly crowd.   Rick had created a license to print money.
PATPONG  I

On 15 April 1991 the final curtain came down on the Grand Prix; Rick didn't sell the name to someone else, he instead decided to close it.   But then, the question goes begging, why would one of Patpong's and Thailand's most popular bars just cease to exist?   It certainly wasn't because of a loss in popularity - it remained popular even though, for the last couple of years the Grand Prix was open, the tent-city night market cluttered Patpong I Road from mid-afternoon until closing time (yes, the wretched night market is still there today...).

As Paul Harvey might have said, here's the rest of the story.   Let's let Rick tell it; "... my daughters Marisa and Malinee were 9 and 7 years old.   A good time, I thought, to move to the U.S. for their schooling.   ISB (International School Bangkok) had a bad reputation and was very costly.   Las Vegas had English as a second language schools, no State income tax, and sunshine 360 days a year.   So here I am."
Another feast to remember on the Grand Prix 15-year mark.
PATPONG  I

And there in Las Vegas he still is.   We here at Bangkok Eyes perpetually warn of the dangers of owning a bar in Thailand, however, Rick is one of the rare exceptions who succeeded, and he succeeded big-time.
This is a great shot of the front of the Grand Prix - note you can also see part of the next-door Pit Stop - another of Rick's undertakings.
PATPONG  I

Again, in Rick's own words, "Contrary to some belief I’m not wandering the Las Vegas strip in shorts, black socks, wingtips and a fedora.   I do go to a casino sport book every morning to place a few sheckles on the sport of the season, play a round of golf weekly and get together with friends for a beer and watch the Monday night NFL games."   And the kicker, "I can say that most people’s wildest fantasies were my realities for the 30 some years I spent in the Far East."   This of course, would be impossible to refute.
Vic Luna and his Dixieland Band played at the Grand Prix every Sunday afternoon in the early 1970's.
PATPONG  I

Today, Rick not only rides in comfort through the streets of Las Vegas in his Caddy Eldorado, he is a proud Grandfather.   Life has been good for him in both the world's Sin Cities.
Here is a recent photo of Rick and his latest ride - a silver Caddilac Eldorado.   Check out the made-to-order license plates.....
LAS VEGAS,  NEVADA,  2008

Alas, the Grand Prix was in another time, and of another time.   Where today could you find a thriving A Go-Go bar, which was also a popular place to go to listen to music, which was also a top-notch Sports Bar, and which served up great food?   That kind of bar no longer exists.
Those of you who remember the Grand Prix will remember this corner well....
PATPONG  I

We would like to thank Rick for his generosity in sharing the story of the Grand Prix and for providing all the old photographs.   And we would like to apologize to Rick for our poor reproduction of those photos - we just didn't have much luck with our scanner.   Hopefully, one day, we will be able to improve on this.   Nevertheless - with Rick's support, we have been able to capture the essence of the Grand Old Grand Prix.
Another great shot of the front of the Grand Prix - check out the attention to detail, to include consistency in the racing theme on the planters, etc.

Below we've included a couple more reproductions of Grand Prix postcards. (You remember "post cards" - they were the things you sent to each other before email.....

    Let the November 2008 Follies  begin...
    BANKOK EYES' Expat Night Scene.

      PATPONG  I  
    MAP
                Last month the street touts in front of the closed-down Wild Cat (Fire Cat) said that the Wild Cat had moved down into the old Lipstick digs.   We noted at the time that the old Lipstick premises were in fact open again, but no neon was to be seen anywhere.   This month, however, the old Lipstick neon is once more aglow, so until further notice, the Nitespot will be referred to as the Lipstick.
      PATPONG    

                Halloween is one of the non-Thai holidays (seen as un-Thai by many locals) which continues to grow in popularity as the years go by.   It has become a regular feature of the Night Entertainment Industry, with nary a venue without some kind of celebration and/or decorations.   Below, there seemed to be something for everyone on this "tree" of rubber masks.....
      PATPONG    

                This is an "archives" shot, as we realized that we have no photo on record of the Show Girls.   The Show Girls is one of the King's Group bars that is regularly "raided" by Bangkok's Finest and has switched back and forth to the "Queen's Castle" moniker over the years.   We begin to wonder if this isn't by arrangement - Bang Rak's Finest keep their "bust record" intact, showing the outside world they are on their toes, and the King's Group are spared any of their big bars being busted.   Just an idle thought.....
      PATPONG    

                The Queen's Castle I has been closed for "renovations".   See our comments above on the Show Girls.   The yellow sign in the background notifies all that the staff have moved across the street to the sister Queen's Castle.   Rest assured they will eventually be reopening....
      PATPONG    

      PATPONG  II  
    MAP
                The Park Bridge (suspended three floors above Patpong II) have got some new and improved neon nailed up.   (Along with one of their "sister" bars, Target 2.)   We still think they need to find some way to better promote this unique Night Entertainment Venue.   Let the good times roll.
      PATPONG  I  

                The Patpong II version of Bar Bar is a S&M simulation bar that has lasted much longer than the pundits were predicting.   They had some interesting frontage up for Halloween.   Continued success, gentle ladies (or perhaps not so gentle....).

      PATPONG  I  

      SOI  COWBOY  
    MAP
    Door Art Of The Month
    Award

                   The Kiss (Soi Cowboy edition) is now decked out in full neon - nary a trace of the old Black & White remains.   We will say this - this, the latest in the Midnite Group's A Go-Gos is in keeping with the rest of their bars when it comes to giving Soi Cowboy that "Little Las Vegas" showtime look.   Credit given where credit is due....

    SOI  COWBOY

    Ugliest Sign Award


             Let it be known that Soi Cowboy is our first recipient of the "Ugliest Sign Award".   We fully understand that commercialism is here to stay, but this sign is just plain unsightly and not in keeping with the Cowboy set and setting.   Two thumbs down....
    NEAR  SOI  COWBOY


     NANA  PLAZA  
    MAP
                Last month we had a sneak-peek at the new neon adorining the Red Lips.   As the neon is now in full-glow, we thought we'd update the record.   Keep on keeping on.
    NANA  PLAZA

                The Pretty Lady also has some new neon tacked up (also as noted last month).   It's too bad they had to lose the old sign however, as we thought it one of the Nana Plaza classics.   (Photo also shown below.)

    - File Photo      
    NANA  PLAZA

      SOI  KATOEY  
    MAP
                The Lounge 4 has given up the ghost and will soon be some kind of fashion boutique - if our sources are correct.   Greener pastures, gents.   The Lounge 4 opened only last October - just barely making it to the one-year mark.   The young lady in the foreground is the PR person for the next door Nursery Bar.
    SOI  KATOEY

                The Bar Bar (Soi Katoey version) now appears to have its full neon kit up and in place.   It looks as though the move up the Soi into the middle of the action has paid off - they seem to be much busier these days.
    SOI  KATOEY

                The Luminous, opening in December of 2006, has succumbed to the Darwinian Imperative, sliding headlong into the Abyss this last month.   We wonder what went wrong; it always looked busy, with a good mixed crowd and a variety of promotions on weekends....   Nice 'graffiti' on their roll-down shutters, though.
    SOI  KATOEY

                A brand-new big-money Nitespot is abuilding on Soi Katoey (behind the tarps in the photo below).   This was most recently the old Roxy Bar & Club, closed June 06.   We haven't yet heard what it will be called, but expect it to open around the beginning of December, this year.   We'll put a marker down on this one, and get back atcha.
    SOI  KATOEY

      SOI  DEAD  ARTISTS  
    MAP
                The latest "special" massage to open on Soi Dead Artists is the Geisya Fashion Massage Club.   You won't find 'Geisya' on their sign, or for that matter in the dictionary, so it would be best to just look for the below signs (located down at the end of Soi 1 -Soi Pan Pan- on Sukhumvit Soi 33).   Welcome them to the neon jungle.

    SOI  DEAD  ARTISTS - SOI  33

                The Ran Maru Men's Spa (opened last month) has supplemented their neon....   We also can now confirm that this Nitespot is not a gay establishment - all are welcome.   Keep on a-slippin' and a-slidin'.
    SOI  DEAD  ARTISTS - SOI  33

                Bliss Massage & Spa have just opened on the Soi.   Gawd, you'd think that Soi Dead Artists would have reached saturation point on massage parlors - but they continue to sprout like soldiers from dragons' teeth.   We wish Bliss all bounty due them on the big uphill.
    SOI  DEAD  ARTISTS - SOI  33

                Tenderloins, it seems, has had a slight change in name - and from a very reliable source, a slight change in ownership.   Same good atmosphere and same good food/drink.   Continue to march, then, gents.
    SOI  DEAD  ARTISTS - SOI  33

      WASHINGTON  SQUARE  
    MAP
                With substantial renovations now completed, the Plearn Karaoke has reopened without a name change.   We did notice they are now posting a now-common anti-drug sign, telling everyone (who can read Thai) what good boys and girls they now are....   Welcome back to the night games.

    WASHINGTON  SQUARE

      QUEEN'S  PARK  PLAZA  
    MAP
                The Divas digs are now up for grabs, should anyone be interested.   But regular customers fear not.   They have moved lock, stock and chrome barstool over to the On The Rocks (see our coverage below).

    QUEEN'S  PARK  PLAZA -  SOI  22

                The B-52, after a long run at a couple of locations on and near Soi 22 has met the Grim Reaper at last.   We were in hopes that they, too, were relocating, but we understand they have simply folded tent.   The below sign is certainly an indication of the difficulty in finding takers - in years gone by, this kind of an offer was unheard of.   Wish them well in future endeavors.

    QUEEN'S  PARK  PLAZA -  SOI  22

                The On The Rocks is once again open for business - after a very tasteful renovation.   But it will not be the On The Rocks for long, as the Divas is moving in from across the way, and promises that some new neon will be up and aglow by this time next month.   -We hope they keep their old neon, which was one of the classier signs in the Plaza.
    QUEEN'S  PARK  PLAZA -  SOI  22

      SOI  EDEN

                The Star Dust Club Massage has taken over the reins from the Dream Heaven Massage (which still has it's Soi Dead Artists branch intact).   The Star Dust offers the full range of services - some of them even include massage.
    SOI  EDEN -  SOI  7/1   SUKHUMVIT

                What was the World Kitchen (with an active beer-drinking outside area) has become the Bai Fern Thai-Italian Restaurant (with an active beer-drinking outside area).   Welcome them to the vicissitudes.

    15 Years Ago This Month....


    A PAGE FROM BANGKOK's NIGHTSCENE HISTORY
    NOVEMBER 1993
    By popular request, Bangkok Eyes jumps back in time 15 years to have a look at who was new - and who was through.   We'll be willing to bet that many of you "Old Bangkok Hands" will be reminded of some bars you'd almost forgotten about.   (We also will be willing to bet you WON'T EVEN REMEMBER an even greater number....)

                The Matterhorn in Nana Plaza actually opened it's doors 15 years ago last month, but took a month to get up to speed.   The Matterhorn eventually absorbed it's next door neighbor, the Star Pub and Restaurant, which also opened at the same time.   Much (RECONFIRM) later it became the Red Lips - Matterhorn.   It just (last month) dropped the "Matterhorn" to become the current Red Lips A Go-Go bar.
      NANA  PLAZA  -  NOVEMBER 1993  

                This month, 15 years ago, the upstairs Pink Lady Bar on Patpong I closed down, only to be replaced by Ann's (Sexy) bar.   Both bars had a reputation of being rip-off bars, and were located between Silom Road and the Thigh Bar.   The Ann's (Sexy) has long since disappeared from the scene.
      PATPONG I   -  NOVEMBER 1993  

                The Pink Pussycat, a popular single-shophouse A Go-Go, changed hands and became the New Pink Pussycat this month, 15 years ago.   The New Pink Pussycat has long since disappeared from the Soi Cowboy landscape; the Joy now occupies those premises.
      NANA  PLAZA  -  NOVEMBER 1993  

                The upstairs Magic Bar closed this last month, fifteen years ago.   It was located above the Memphis Queen (S.T.V.) bar beer on Patpong II.   The Memphis Queen is still there, however the space occupied by the Magic Bar is unoccupied today.
      PATPONG  II  -  NOVEMBER 1993  

                The Sawasdee Cocktail Lounge opened upstairs on The Ramp on Patpong II fifteen years ago.   It moved into the Pink 2 Bar digs, which closed that same month.   Today, the Rig 1 Gold occupies those premises.

    VICARIOUS ART CRIMES   # 37

    MIDNITE HOUR's

    GRAFFITI IN THE NEWS

    Ephemeral's Street Museum

    - THE ART / VANDALISM DEBATE
    RAGES ETERNAL

    Ephemeral Museum Out-takes

          Follows is an excerpt of an AFP article we found in the Viet Nam News this last month.   It appears that the debate on Graffiti rages on a global stage, not just in the subways of New York, or the walls of abandoned buildings in Bangkok.


    Lisbon, Portugal   -   To some they are eyesores fit only to be painted over, to others they are legitimate works of art: and a new 'museum' of graffiti has further divided the residents of Lisbon's fashionable Bairro Alto district.

          Launched in July 2008, the "Ephemeral Museum" exists right along the narrow streets and picturesque, cobbled lanes in this popular neighbourhood of the Portuguese capital's old town.   Just as in a conventional gallery, each item of street art is numbered and labelled, with details of the artist and the technique used.

          Connoisseurs can even follow the show with the help of a map of the district and an audio-guide downloaded onto their MP3 players, which gives more information on the 33 works on the tour, by both Portuguese and foreign artists.

          The project is the brainchild of Movimento Acorda Lisboa (MAL), or "Wake Up Lisbon!" project.   MAL's Daniel Oliveira said the group wanted to transform the negative perception of graffiti by underlining the creative energy of artists behind such works.

          "The most visited neighbourhood in Lisbon, the 'Bairro' has been transformed into an immense gallery, a privileged space for culture and counter-culture," the group said in its introduction to the museum.

          Far from painting over the divisions however, the project appears to have further antagonised those who see graffiti not as art but as vandalism.

          By day, Bairro Alto is just another district.   When evening falls, it is transformed as fashion boutiques, art galleries and 'conceptual spaces' open up.   The bars, too, draw crowds, spilling out into the narrow, cobbled streets.   The graffiti artists go to work much later, said one local business owner who refused to be named.

          "Every night, around 4:00 to 5:00 am, they arrive and start scribbling on the walls," he said.   "I keeping painting them over, because if they are stubborn, so am I!"

          Under pressure from angry business owners and residents supported by the elected opposition, Lisbon's socialist Mayor Antonio Costa promised a clean-up, scheduled to begin this October.   Costa admitted the problem of graffiti was a medium, perhaps even long-term problem, but promised close-circuit cameras and, with government support, tougher penalties for rogue graffiti artists.

          But one self-confessed graffiti artist was sceptical.   "That'll never work," said Luis, a local youngster, who draws graffiti only occasionally.   "Anyway, it's not the first time that city hall has promised this, but they have never cleaned anything up," he added.

          At MAL, Oliveira insisted the "Ephemeral Museum" was not in the business of encouraging indiscriminate graffiti.   ;"On the contrary, the project is aimed at stressing the quality of certain works so that they are not covered over by tags or posters."

          The 'Ephemeral Museum' website, sponsored by Pamero Foundation, can be found by CLICKING here.

    - And now to Bangkok's own brand of Graffiti....


             This month the Midnite Hour concludes a 2-part series of graffiti paintings which are a little different than the usual 'pop' graffiti we usually encounter.   All of these pieces have been created by the same person (or persons), and have used a combination of stencils, spray cans and paint brushes to obtain the results shown here.
