About
Papagayo sits on Soi Diana, the compact nightlife lane running off Pattaya 2nd Road in Central Pattaya, inside the Central Shopping Arcade complex — it’s one of the first bars you reach heading up the soi from Second Road, sharing the building with restaurants like Beefeater Steakhouse, Big Horn Steakhouse, Da Masaniello Italian Restaurant and Patrick’s Belgian Restaurant. Soi Diana itself is known locally as one of Central Pattaya’s coyote-bar strips, with venues like Champagne A Go Go, Ice and Culture Club within a couple of hundred meters, so Papagayo sits squarely within that scene rather than standing apart from it. It’s a coyote-style dance bar — a stage-and-bar setup with dancers rather than a conventional pub — and it’s been a fixture on this stretch for years, with a well-followed Facebook page (in the thousands of likes) keeping regulars posted on events and promotions.
What to expect
Inside, Papagayo has three entrances, including one that opens directly onto the Central Shopping Arcade, a solid sound system, and decor and fixtures that reviewers describe as a step up from the average Soi Diana beer bar. The standout is the drinks list — reportedly more than 100 craft gins, plus wine by the glass, which is an unusual amount of choice for a coyote-format venue where most competitors stick to standard spirits and beer. Dancers on the bar-top stage set the tone: it’s an energetic, sales-driven room rather than a quiet spot for conversation, and staff work for lady drinks in the way that’s standard across Soi Diana’s venues. Evenings pick up as the strip fills in, with the room generally busiest from mid-evening onward; earlier visits tend to be calmer if you want to look around before the crowd builds. Because Papagayo doesn’t publish an official menu or price list, first-time visitors should expect standard Soi Diana pricing for lady drinks and spirits, with the deep gin selection likely commanding a premium over the house-pour options.

Good to know
Papagayo works well as one stop on a Soi Diana bar crawl, especially if the gin list appeals to you specifically — it’s a genuinely unusual thing to find that much choice in a coyote bar, and it’s worth asking staff to talk you through a few options rather than defaulting to the house pour. It’s not the place for a low-key drink, though: the format is dancers, lady drinks and a lively room, so anyone looking for a quiet conversation spot should look elsewhere on Pattaya 2nd Road. Because hours and pricing aren’t officially published anywhere, a quick check with locals, hotel staff or the Facebook page is worth doing before making a special trip, particularly if you’re coming from further afield in Pattaya just to visit this one venue.
