It looks very enticing.  I am trying to convince my Thai boyfriend that we should go and see this Friday evening show.....

I sure do hope so - but that will depend on this Thai government's politics towards taxing us elderly retirees.....  So, my future is in the hands of the Government House over in Bangkok.

I cannot wait to read your review!

I am also keen to know how your 4 hands massage went. You probably will not write about it in forum. Perhaps you can Line me?

Candy Bar Burlesque Show review – 07 March 2025

After my return from 62 days in Cebu, Philippines, and the completion of my USA tax return = hallelujah!!  It is time for some FUN!!!

I ask my Thai boyfriend to get us a reservation to see the Friday night show – which as per the below weekly program schedule – meant that we would see the Burlesque Show. 

I tried to do the booking reservation, but it is difficult if you do not have Facebook. For purposes of this review, my boyfriend shared with me the below FB info page – which should allow you to make a reservation.  We did not have any problem initially --> read on…

https://www.facebook.com/people/Candy-Bar-Jomtien/61572178823103/

 

Prior to the show start time at 10:30pm, we go to Dick’s Café for dinner at 8pm.  Afterwards, we go to the Sun Bar, which is directly across from the new Candy Bar.  It was the birthday of one of the Sun waiters (his name is BOY), and as my Thai boyfriend knows almost everyone in the complex, we are inserted into the birthday festivities, including the addition of our 100 baht bank notes to his birthday garland.

Suddenly, my boyfriend orders a whiskey bottle with mixers and ice – I look at my watch and it is only like 9:20pm and I say to him, there is no way that you and I can finish off that – he laughs at me and says, our friends are coming to join us (3 more guys) and we will drink some more after the Candy show back here at the Sun Bar – and he looks at me and says, “they will have dancing inside tonight…..”  He knows me all too well – as my main complaint/bitch is that there is nowhere to dance in the Jomtien Complex (aka Supertown).  So, how could I dare to say no..... 

I say to him, please hurry up and run over to the Candy Bar and extend our reservation of 2 to now 5 – as I did not want us to be denied seating.  He comes back and tells me mission accomplished.

Drinking and waiting at the Sun Bar in anticipation

 

His 3 friends join us, and we all continue to laugh and drink with the Sun Bar birthday guy. 10:15pm arrives and before we know it and we are inside the Candy Bar.  Well, my first impression is that this is a serious venture that has wonderful aesthetics, and sound absorption, rendering the place with excellent acoustics.  So, the new owners have definitely spent some good money to make this place very enjoyable.

Our assigned seats are at the back of the lounge, and they are super comfortable, with firm body supporting cushions – all with that new smell.  Immediately, one of the hosts comes over to offer us snacks (nuts, M&Ms, raisons, etc.) to nibble on.  Our drink orders are taken by one of the cute waiters who are all dressed in a sexy type of candy stripe muscle t-shirt.  I love the optional bandanas that they are wearing as the differentiating factor.

Which bandana is your favourite?

The bar’s decor is very well thought out – where everything is in a nice shade of pink, with amazing attention to branding, from the drink coasters to coffee cups, to walk fixtures – truly an artsy upscale new addition to the Jomtien Complex (aka Supertown).

Eclectic, but in good pink taste, in my opinion....

Show time – the Burlesque show begins with this opening number, “Diamonds in the sky”.

There was the all-too-common picture frame skit (we saw this type of skit at The Venue Christmas Show) :

And then my 2 favorite numbers were:

1.       The Lady and her Tramp….

2.       Sexy pop my balloon scene – it was hilarious….

I do not know how long the above skit will last because that sexy balloon guy gives the audience a rather large pin to pop his balloons - but you can see the fear in his eyes when the second guy kind of aggressively stabs his balloon - noting that there is not much distance between the skin of a popped balloon versus the skin on that sexy guy.  How long before he is unintentionally pierced by an audience member who has had perhaps too much to drink? .....

 All in all, it was a GREAT burlesque show and I wish them a tremendous amount of success.  My only worry now is that the Jomtien Complex (aka Supertown) now has 3 cabaret type of showbars; The Venue, M2M, and now Candy Bar.  We noticed that perhaps 2 to 3 stars from M2M are now working at the new Candy Bar and we hope that it does not diminish the success of M2M.  My boyfriend and I, we voted the show bars in the following order; 1.) M2M, a VERY close second 2.) Candy Bar, and 3.) The Venue.  We agreed that we need to return to the M2M very soon to see if they have lost any of their passionate greatness as a result of the Candy Bar.  We also agreed that we need to return back to the Candy Bar on one of their other theme nights; Perfect Pop Show, Classic Camp Cabaret, Icons – Anthems & Divas.

Recently, the Candy Bar had a Sexy Bum Competition, where the contestants were numbered (like in Bangkok), so that they could be voted on.  There was a 1,000 baht prize for the best bum.  This looks like it was a lot of fun and I wish that I had been there.

Hmmmm --> just look at those voluptuous sexy bums….

and the winner is..........

wait, wait, wait - I am so confused - how could a guy who looks like he is directly from the Atlas muscle bar in Bangkok be a winner in the "twink heaven" confines of Supertown?

Inquiring minds want to know - is Supertown slowly turning into a mini muscle heaven ??

After the conclusion of the Candy Bar Burlesque show, we head back to the Sun Bar, as our unfinished bottle of whiskey was waiting for our return.  And as my boyfriend told me, there was dancing inside the bar, of course behind the smoke screen glass.  Now I was truly happy, as it is very rare that I get to dance in the Jomtien Complex (aka Supertown).

I stay for an hour and then I leave all of them and I head back home to sleep it off – as the whiskey is now starting to give me a slight headache.  I wake up at 8am, and my boyfriend sends me a message from the Jomtien soi 12 beach volleyball to tell me that they are heading home to get some my sleep.

What was the name of that song from the Twilight movie ?

You mean your Thai boyfriend and his friend played beach volleyball till the next morning?

[jason1975]

Candy Bar looks nice.

I expect Sunday's show - Icons, Anthems and Divas - to comprise ladyboys lip synching to all the famous lady singers.

Since you found a place to dance, why don't you invite @Olddaddy

Yes.

He does this almost everyday.

Last night we went out together to chat at a bar in Supertown to see some of my farang friends - as many of what I put into the category of: seasonals --> are all starting to return back to their home countries, after being back in Thailand for their seasonal 4 to 5 months.  This means that the transition to "low season" from "high season" is now underway.

Around 12:30am I walked my boyfriend to the Jomtien Beach Road and kissed him goodbye as he went south, first to soi 4, as it was still too early to go to soi 12 - as it does not fill up until all of the boys who work in the Jomtien Complex (aka Supertown) send us to bed around 2 am when the Complex closes and then a large proportion of the Complex head over to Jomtien soi 12 for their "after work" nightime fun, where volleyball is one of their entertainment options.

I can always join him - but I am usually too tired to go and enjoy myself.  If there is a "special" ocassion and I need to go there - I will take a 2 hour "power nap" beforehand to help me get through the night.  On those ocassions, I would need to skip going to Supertown and do my power nap.

I headed north into the Dongtan Beach area, where my condo is.

A ladyboy rode her motorbike up to me, as I was walking alone, and tried to aggressively solicit me --> so I ran into the security of my condo complex gates for safety.  Hahaha

While I was sleeping, this morning at 6:37am, my boyfriend wrote me to say goodnight, after returning to his room from the Jomtien soi 12 volleyball beach.

He will probably wake up around between 2pm to 4pm.

Soi 12 sounds like a place I would like to see and experience!

Glad you escaped the ladyboy!

I can leave you and your guy in the hands of my boyfriend - as I am sure that he would enjoy to be a "tour guide" for the soi 12 adventure....

Just realize that it is an expansive beach area with pockets of guys sitting on their beach mats and/or portable beach chairs sitting, drinking, and chatting.

Some of them play volleyball off and on throughout the night.

Also, for purposes of your Vietnamese guy - there is also the gay Dongtan beach volleyball, which starts daily about 30 minutes prior to sunset and goes until around 9pm to 10pm.

I am sure that it would be hysterical.  Because the ladyboy caught me off-guard as I was crossing from the beach side of the Dongtan beach walkway to the security entrance to my condo complex.  At first, I thought that she was one of my Thai boyfriend's many ladyboy friends so I was in a "friendly nice to see you state of mind...", but then I quickly realized that I did not know this ladyboy - she was very pretty - but she was very aggressive about "acquiring some business..." - so, I whipped out my ---- NO - stop what you are thinking - I quickly whipped out my security gate FOB so I could quickly get into the condo complex before she was able to get off of her motorbike......

Then I stared back just to make sure that she did not have her own FOB key - as I learned that many of the local money boys here in Jomtien have their own FOB keys.  In fact, I wanted extra FOB keys for my occasional guests and I asked to my real estate agent and at the Juristic Office and both of them told me that there were no more FOB keys available.  But this being Thailand - creative solutions are always available - so, someone told me about this FOB key duplication shop over near Tukcom and you just give them one of your existing FOB keys and he reads the signal from your FOB key and makes you a duplicate.  Amazing Thailand!!!

So, so much for feeling safe.....

My Filipino bf would be interested in playing this I'm sure rather than tag along with me continually 

How would he join in ?

Should I just bring him along at night and leave him there?

I can only comment for the Dongtan gay volleyball from sunset until 10pm.

Just bring him there and ask any of the guys on the sand volleyball court if your Filipino boyfriend can play.

It is that simple.  

However, note that there are sometimes 3 separate volleyball courts - and the guys who are more serious may be reluctant to let someone that they do not know join in right away.  So, I would suggest that he try at the other 2 adjacent volleyball courts.  If the guys who are more serious are in a jovial mood then they will probably ask him to play right away.  They tend to get serious when they have an upcoming important match and they need to be serious.  But if there are no upcoming matches then I am quite sure that they will let him play.

For the Jomtien soi 12 volleyball which usually runs from like 2am until sunrise - I am not sure how one inserts himself.  But my boyfriend recently told me that of recently more non Thais have started to join them.  This volleyball is kind of casual - unless there is an agreed upon match for money or some other type of competition.

Below is a very general map of the Soi Jomtien 12 area:

I have only been twice - arriving via motorbike and kind of intoxicated - so my memory is not perfect - but I remember the D Varee Jomtien hotel being nearby.
