They give a glimpse inside an abandoned Batman themed Nightclub that closed its doors over 20 years ago. Constructed in 1994 just south of Bangkok, Thailand, the nightclub was one of Pattaya’s most thriving spots for night-time entertainment. It was no doubt once home to many eager western tourists seeking some Thai nightlife. But just 18 months after the official opening, the club was shut down for underage drinking and drug use.

Batman lights would beam across the city to attract customers – it also seems to have been a snooker club on the members only upper floors. Only the bottom two floors were a disco. In total, the club has six floors. The site is now owned by a local bank that repossessed the property from the original owner – but the pictures show how the remains have been left untouched.

There have been some reports over the years that a fire tore through the nightclub not long after it was shut down. The club was only open about a year and a half before it caught fire due to a circuit board overload and supposedly, the fire prevented the electrically operated doors from opening, causing them to be locked shut.
