A LOT has changed in Wanchai bars since 2020.
Basic reasons:
* Less business vistors,
* Less female tourists,
both being linked.
No Money, No Honey. Simple.
The Players in Lockhart Road was supposed to be refurbished,
while HK Cafe went under in Aug 2020 and re-opened with a new owner as Players II.
RIO is still there.
Escape went under in Aug 2020 and reborn (with some of its owners) as Embassy in Sept 2022.
The higher class girls that were hanging at Escape before are not yet back (and for a while) and what is around is ..."sub-investment grade".
For girls ~ the only game in town is ...drinking to collect their fees. Very few hope for more.
The only places above the rest are Joe Bananas and Taboo.
If I go there, I generally walk in ALREADY with somebody.
Went to Embassy, several times, with escort (to peacefully observe) and alone. Nothing happening there.
Their 2 "dancers" are a joke.
However the place is nice, nicely refurbished.
Players II (ex HK Cafe) has been refurbished too but quality there, girls and waitresses, is so so.
Bottom line: There is not enough REAL business for Columbians and alike to organize a tour to Hong Kong + Singapore ....
For the rest, I think your best hopes are in JB and Taboo.
Just bad Return On Investment
