A39 CoCo - Update
🕑 Added 2025-08-09 22:33:54 +0000 UTCInside the venue – offering a partial view of the stage and a partial view of the “board”:
NOTE: In every A Go Go bar, there’s a board like this that can give you key information at a glance:
a) The number is a unique worker ID assigned to a girl when she officially starts working. On the drink receipt for a lady drink, you’ll also see her name next to this number.
b) The board is divided into five lines, where:
First line – 14 Thai girls who come out on stage first.
Second line – 16 Thai girls who take the stage after the first 14 finish.
Third line – 13 Thai girls who perform after the second group of 16.
Fourth line – Russian girls. On that day, there were only 4 of them (usually 4–8; I’ve never seen more than 8 even in the best times, and in 2025 I haven’t seen more than 6).
NOTE: In the past, one Russian girl with an individual pole dance show (at least 10 minutes long) would always perform after each Thai lineup — that was before COVID-19. Since 2022, Russians have been working in a strange way. I still haven’t figured out their performance schedule. For example, in March 2025, I spent about an hour in a bar (that day there were 5 Russian-speaking girls working), and during that whole time, not a single one came out to dance on the pole. Instead, they stayed in the hall doing consommation, hustling customers for drinks (drinks for Russians are the most expensive — 350 baht).
Fifth line – hard to see, but if you look closely in the video, you can spot “B / F” (Barfine). These are the girls (5 at that moment) who had already gone off to have fun with clients.
Board takeaway: By reading the board, you can at least figure out how many girls are working today. At opening time, there were 52 girls on staff, and at that moment, 47 were still in the bar.
In 2021, inside the venue – a 13-minute video:
From the video above – TIMING:
Up to 1:48 – Thai girls dancing on stage.
1:49 to 11:14 – Solo pole performance by a Russian girl (at least 10 minutes).
11:15 to the end – You can see her collecting tips (or, more accurately, the methods she uses to hustle for tips — a common practice in any go-go bar where Russian-speaking girls work). In particular, she approaches a couple (on the right side of the video sits a Thai girl, on the left a Russian girl who works on consommation).
In 2020, a Russian girl on stage during the DJ’s birthday:
NOTE: A Russian girl came out to perform her individual show, joined on stage by the DJ, whose birthday it was that day.
INTERESTING FACT: If you see someone in Pattaya (or anywhere in Thailand) decorated with money, it means it’s their birthday. “Money as decoration” is a common Thai tradition. If you want, you can approach the person (anywhere) and attach a banknote — they’ll have a stapler for that purpose.
CoCo positions itself as a mixed A Go Go bar with both Thai and Russian girls. At some point between June 2024 and January 2025, it absorbed the neighboring Coke A Go Go bar.
In January 2024, the view of the venue from the street — there were still two more bars:
In June 2025, the view from the main entrance looked like this as well:
SUMMARY: CoCo A Go Go has absorbed Coke A Go Go. In fact, they already shared the same owner, but in practice, they simply demolished the wall between the bars, expanding CoCo by about 50%.
