The Cocktail Car is the latest addition to the Pattaya bar scene.

One enterprising local businessman has found a way to become a part of Pattaya nightlife without incurring the high rents of real estate in the Pattaya entertainment district. The Cocktail Car makes its own entertainment district wherever it parks. What a great idea!

Disguised as a non-descript blue and white van in the daytime, this amazing vehicle transforms into a popular Pattaya entertainment venue by night.

This is what the Pattaya Cocktail Car looks like by day.

Usually parked around Pattaya 2 up on the sidewalk by Central Festival, the Cocktail Car is becoming a popular rest stop with shoppers in the evening.

If you’re thirsty from a hard evening of shopping with your Pattaya girls at the mall, you can find respite right as you exit the mall. Just pull up a seat in front of the Cocktail Car and you can enjoy your favorite alcoholic beverage right there on the sidewalk.

The Cocktail Car serves up all of the major imported brands as well as good old Sang Som Thai whiskey. Their prices aren’t bad either. I stopped in for a Sang Som the other night and it was only 50 baht, which isn’t bad at all.

With tables and chairs set up out front, the Cocktail Car transforms the whole area into a Pattaya bar.

If you’re looking for bar girls, however, the Cocktail Car doesn’t have any. It’s strictly for refreshment. You’re certainly welcome to bring along your own girl if you want and a lot of guys do just that.

It’s pretty amazing to see how this little van transforms. The whole roof opens up to sport a big neon sign bearing the logo. The roof over the driver’s compartment also opens up with reflective glass and a spotlight. Actually, there are a couple of spotlights on the van which provide the lighting for the seating area. The whole thing has neon lights all over the place.

It has a bar on the very rear of the vehicle and a railing on the side to give it that bar room effect. They have a huge menu of drink items set up just to the left. It really makes quite a scene wherever it parks. You can’t miss it.

I have actually spotted a couple of these Cocktail Cars on Pattaya 2. I’m not sure just how many there actually are around town. There may be even more. Leave it to Pattaya to make it easy to find a bar. There are more bars here than anywhere else in the world. Now we have them on the street to boot.
