Right in the thick of Soi Buakhao's nightlife, The Black Minou is a spot worth keeping an eye out for. Sitting opposite Candy Club, just around the corner from Tree Town, this lively girls bar brings a little lounge-style flair to one of Pattaya's busiest stretches.

Inside, the music, cocktails, girls and sociable atmosphere make settling in for a few rounds an easy decision. There's a more contemporary touch to the setting than some of the traditional beer bars nearby.

Its location certainly helps. With Tree Town just steps away and Soi Buakhao buzzing around it, Black Minou is well placed for an evening of bar-hopping, though there's every chance you'll find yourself staying longer than planned.

And while black cats are considered unlucky in some parts of the world, finding this particular *minou* on Soi Buakhao might just be a stroke of good fortune.
