Kee Hua Chee Live!: MAGGIE CHOO'S IS BANGKOK'S SEXIEST, SULTRIEST AND MOST SIZZLING WATERINGHOLE! COME ONE, COME ALL FOR A SENSATIONALLY, SWINGING GOOD TIME!

KEE@FSWMAG.COM
MAGGIE CHOO'S IS A RESTAURANT, BAR, CLUB, CAFE, LOUNGE, BRASSERIE AND BORDELLO ROLLED INTO ONE---OK IT IS NOT A BORDELLO BUT SURE FEELS LIKE ONE! AND I LOVE WHOREHOUSES AS I WAS ONE IN MY LAST INCARNATION.

ANYWAY, THE VIBES ARE SHANGHAI CIRCA 1920 AND I REALLY FELT LIKE I STEPPED INTO A TIME WARP AND REEMERGED INTO THE BUND AND FELL INTO A NIGHTCLUB WHEN I STEPPED INTO MAGGIE CHOO'S!

I JUST LOVE THE PLACE AND I MUST THANK MARIE GONTER, EVENTS AND MARKETING DIRECTOR OF PULLMAN BANGKOK HOTEL G WHO INSISTED I SHOULD VISIT MAGGIE CHOO'S OR I MIGHT AS WELL HAVE STAYED IN KUALA LUMPUR AND NOT COME TO BANGKOK AT ALL.

SHE EVEN PHONED THE BOSS, CREATOR AND OWNER SANYA SOUVANNA PHOUMA IN ADVANCE TO WARN HIM OF MY IMPENDING ARRIVAL SO HE COULD GET THE DANCING GIRLS READY TO ROLL OUT THE RED CARPET!

THERE WERE NO DANCING GIRLS TO GREET ME WHEN I ARRIVED BUT THERE WERE GIRLS SWINGING LANGUIDLY ON AN ACTUAL SWING AND LYING LANGUOROUSLY IN A CUBIBLE ABOVE THE BAR. AND ON THE PIANO!

GOOD ENOUGH, I SAY!

MAGGIE CHOO'S IS LOCATED WITHIN NOVOTEL HOTEL ON SILOM ROAD BUT I RECOMMEND YOU STAY AT NEARBY PULLMAN BANGKOK HOTEL G WHICH IS 7 MINUTES WALK!

THIS DAMSEL LOOKS LIKE SHE IS SITTING ON A STOOL BUT THE SIDES ARE JUST TASSELS AND SHE IS SITTING ON A SWING!

THE GREAT LEG SHOW!

NG KUN TEK SIDLES TO THE SWING AND SEDUCTRESS

BUT WHO IS OR WAS MAGGIE CHOO?

I ASKED HEAD HONCHO AND DASHINGLY HANDSOME OWNER SANYA SOUVANNA PHOUMA WHO IS HALF FRENCH AND HALF LAOTIAN AND RELATED TO THE ROYAL FAMILY.

GRINNED SANYA, "THIS TIME LAST YEAR THERE WERE JUST EMPTY WALLS IN THIS PLACE. NOW THERE IS MAGGIE CHOO'S. I CHOSE A CHINESE NAME TO FIT MY CONCEPT OF A BAR AND HANGOUT WITH A HINT OF OPIUM DEN CIRCA SHANGHAI 1920S AND 1930S.

"SO I CREATED THIS STORY ABOUT A FEMME FATALE NAMED MAGGIE CHOO. I WANTED A QUINTESSENTIALLY CHINESE NAME WHICH IS EASY TO REMEMBER, SPELL AND PRONOUNCE, LIKE SUZIE, NANCY OR LULU!

"WHEN I WAS IN HONG KONG, I CAME ACROSS MAGGIE CHEUNG THE SUPERSTAR SO I DECIDED TO USE THE NAME 'MAGGIE'. THEN I ADDED 'CHOO' AS HER SURNAME IN HONOUR OF YOUR JIMMY CHOO! I THINK I HAVE THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS WITH THIS CATCHY NAME!"

IN SANYA SOUVANNA PHOUMA'S OWN WORDS;

"Maggie Choo's was named after Shanghai cabaret owner who fled her hometown in 1931 following the Japanese invasion that tore the city.

Shortly after arriving in Bangkok, she found a 19th century Thai Chinese shoe box restaurant crammed into a basement 10 meters below Silom road serving authentic Thai chinese shophouse food.

When one day, she discovered behind the walls in the corner of the restaurant an entrance that lead to a derelict 19th century East India company bank built in 1847 used for storing porcelain and spices that the British used to carry back to England for Queen Victoria, her past caught up with her and she converted the old bank into a cabaret, just like when she used to back in Shanghai.

Today the cabaret is yet to be revived again...."

Magical underground cabaret full of mystery, romance, jazz reminiscent of Shanghai 1930s

Maggie Choo's is the latest venture by Thonglor's Nightlife baron Ash Sutton, known for his out-of-the-box high concept venues such as Iron Fairies, Mr. Jones, Fat Gutz, Five and The Bookshop with Bed Supperclub's co-founder and Creative Director, Sanya Souvanna Phouma.

Located in a basement on Silom road, just a few blocks from the Chao Phraya River, Maggie Choo's is an authentic Thai-Chinese restaurant serving street food staples and nibbles, which connects to a derelict 19th century East India Company depot converted into a cocktail bar and cabaret which provides live jazz acts, DJ sets and adorned with a crew of Asian performers, posing or acting, thickening the mysterious Far Eastern vibe that transpires from the atmosphere.

Maggie Choo's caters to discerning guests who are looking to be entertained in style and in a surprising environment, which embraces the best of past and modern forms of divertissement.
