Since I arrived in Phuket three months ago I’ve been desperately searching for some real nightlife. Recently, I’ve found a couple of places of note. One such place is Club Lime in Patong, located on the beach road next to Rock City and Club Andaman Resort.
I went to Club Lime for the first time on Friday night. What’s good about this place is that it pushes real dance music and the DJs are fairly decent. The music was primarily electro, with a bit of house and tech house to boot. It was real dance floor stuff, although Club Lime doesn’t have much of a dance floor. But still, there is space in front of the bar to dance.
The guys at Club Lime are looking to push clubbing in Phuket to new boundaries. Starting next month, there will be drum ‘n’ bass nights (which I might get involved in) and more DJs will be asked to play. Nakadia is due to play October 12, and after all the stick I’ve been giving her on the Bangkok Recorder forums, I’d like to see her play again.
The only thing with Club Lime is the people who go there. This is something that needs a bit of work. Hopefully a couple of articles I’m writing will drive some actual clubbers to the venue.
At the moment, it feels a bit like Bed Supperclub. Lime is full of old dudes and property sales girls. The sales girls in particular get on my nerves because they do nothing except take pictures of one another and rub their bodies on each other when everybody is looking. Sometimes they just pose and take their own pictures. I’ve never understood this.
One thing I’ve noticed about Phuket is that there are two types of people here: teachers and people working in real estate. Then there are the media people who write about the people working in real estate. If you enjoy talking about commissions and beauty salons then the sales girls will be happy to oblige. You wouldn’t believe how much money these girls are making as well; makes me think I should have been a sales girl.
Other than the sales girls issue, Club Lime is worth checking out.
The more they keep fighting it, the funnier this post gets haha

…Nyuk nyuk nyuk…
wow! have been following your blog for some time now, but this comment section just made my day! thank you everyone, for being a part of this, i nearly shat my pants laughing… please take pictures on your "date", post them here and don't kill the poor bastard. we need more of this!!! thanks again
Matt, you have caused a stir.
A malicious attitude to the depicted events would have taken an older person to write this article, which I don't feel you are by your seemingly genuine responses to the girls required furore. So an excuse could be 'journalistic inexperience' or a youthful blunder. You are though lucky because you have reported, albeit with negative overtones, about a bunch of girls that are some of the nicest, warmest, genuine people you would find in cool Phuket. They will be lenient with you, I feel, and continuing on a line of straight forwardness and honesty with them will do you well. Maybe some friends are made on this day. And as for the old dudes…..
i want to apologize to everyone here for losing my temper over something so trivial, it's just that i stopped taking my meds sometime back, but i'm back on it now so again. sorry everyone. i admit it was quite stupid of me to get so heated about something on a silly little blog, i mean if it was on the newspaper or something then maybe, possibly maybe, but well you know how it is when you stop taking your meds if you've been since a little one. so sorry all for being such an idiot. let's party!!!!!!!!! wooooooooo i love paris hilton, she's so cool.
This "silly little blog" is read by hundreds of people every day and features a number of paid-for advertising spots. Don't underestimate the power of the Internet. You'd be surprised how far things like this can reach, especially something like this which has generated significant traffic.
I can tell you that in a couple of days more than a thousand people have read my initial article, so by that same token, they've read all the responses. That may not be a huge amount, but just as I should have thought before I posted, perhaps everybody should have. You all posted from your places of work too.
You never know who is reading this. Well, I do, but nobody else does 555.
Anyway, this is all a has-been now so let's move on and forget about it. I'm sure we'll all get along just fine.
Glad to hear that you're taking your meds again. If you have any spare, please send some to me.
"You all posted from your places of work too."
Where else would people be posting from? Aren't blogs there to bridge the time between coming in and leaving at night?
and "Someone from those property girls" … your last post was a tad too obvious.
My point is that they are representing their companies.
right. never mind me. i'm not here to discuss the issue on a serious level, anyway. i'll just stop now. but all of you, please keep going… please?
No! No more! I can't cope with any more. My head will explode.
sorry vanalli, didn't mean to upset you by the silly little blog phrase (it isn't as you argued and pointed out, i stand corrected), i just wanted to point out that these property girls got so heated about the opinion of 1 random person!!!!!! (my god they were even threatening you with possible violence) again no offense intended but who gives a shyt man, it's just the opinion of (no offense intended again, from your blog i know you are a noted/skilled dj and writer and others but) just another ordinary guy in the end. aren't they putting too much emphasis on what you say? too sensitive man, too sensitive these girls.
anyway, i enjoy your blog, i particularly liked your dog story way back. adios.
OK I see what you mean. Yes, it was strange that one opinion got everybody so stirred up. The whole thing was very strange, because it wasn't a personal attack, was just general remarks, thoughts as they were.
Anyway, I wonder what will happen when I show up at Lime tonight. I'm taking body guards.
Comment No.55 and no. 62 – using name Adios or whoever wanna be someone, pretending to be someone posting here – you are …(can't find a word to describe your manner) I"M THE REAL PERSON WHO POST AND USE NAME AS 'SOMEONE FROM THOSE PROPERTY GIRLS' and excuse me! we ( or I) never called ourselves 'an idiot' like you just using someone name and calling yourself that..
and "Ice Bar Picture taker" you are smart! and I agree with you the post no. 55 a tad too obvious!!
Ohh one MORE thing, I DON'T HATE PARIS HILTON!!! BUT I DON'T LIKE PARIS HILTON!!!
as you probably could tell from my previous post, i missed one simple dose of my meds and became an idiot again. i profoundly apologize people for the barrage of stupidity. but i don't remember writing comment 64, was it me? or is it some vile impostor? well when you're schizo you can never tell. if it's some impostor, you should be ashamed of yourself posing as someone else, be careful or I'll get my friends and we'll attack you at one of the clubs. but then again, it could just be me, my alter ego whatever.. anyway just wanted to say IM THE REAL PERSON WHO POST AND USE NAME AS ‘SOMEONE FROM THOSE PROPERTY GIRLS’ so don't believe any other idiots, i'm the real one here okay.
Hi! My name is.. (what?) My name is.. (who?)
My name is.. [scratches] adios amigoes.
ps. whoever writes 'i don't like paris hilton is commiting sacrilege and will be attacked by my posse when sighted.
What happened Matt? Jeez… I don't know about you writing at TP anymore… just stay where you are man, you're a live-wire! lol! hahahahahaha…. I've not had this many hate comments in 9 months from my blog… guess I'd better be more controversial like you've suddenly become! Good luck mate…

Dear Property Girls,
I am getting ready to return to Patong on Oct. 22, 07 for the second time this year.
I have found that 99.9% of the Thai people very beautiful and friendly.Maybe this has something to do with the way I treat and respect others as I would also like to be treated(do u think!). I love to dance and have a great time as I managed to do for 15 wonderful nights all over Patong .This included many clubs where I was the only Farang present. I love the culture and have taken care to read about same.I have been all over the world and mixed with the people and never a problem. It would be my pleasure to see the property girls in action and perhaps buy everyone a drink…………provided of coarse that i may be aloud to take a picture of such a famous group of ladies!!!!!!!!! Also this one is for partyboy…….bet I can get the DJ to play something happening for u 2……………………Might even let u dance with my beautiful Thai lady………but only if u act like a gentleman. Chow
David just 2 questions:
- are u for real?
- can you walk on the water?
Bangkok JEDI,
I always say" Give me your heart , Make it real, or else forget about it"
haha, i love these long discussions
see you and all the sales girls at club lime on friday, gonna be a fun night
Thanks for the post.. am visiting the area in the new year and was hoping to find somewhere with some electro or dnb.
to will:
some electro and d&b?
bring your ipod!
i like Puket because of Beach
Sounds like a poofter writing, I love salesgirls that rub bodies together, nothing against bi girls whatsoever, and nothing about girls that take pictures posing as though they know they are beautiful.
Sounds like some cool chicks that are way out of this poofs range.
If I could frame this comment I would.
Been reading a lot of the articles on here recently..
This blog's comments are better than facebook's relationship status mini feeds!
haha :)
hey vanalli, you're gonna hafta buy a condo to get out of this one! ;)
Haha some of thoses comments are priceless!that was great entertainment!feel sorry for vanalli!he obviously didnt mean to offend and was only expressing a point of view!wonder if hes still alive!?
Haha thanks (Matt?) for the laugh, crying with laughter still.
Answer these question please: would the above writing still be the same if the sales girls had rubbed their bodies together on you, instead of on each other? And what happens when u get old, eh?
sorry, just curious. Thanks for the fun blog.
Hey there,
i liked your article here, im in the same boat of trying to find a decent dance club in phuket as i am moving over there in march 09.
would like to hear your thoughts!
thanks
