    The Black Pagoda group of bars at Patpong 2 ran a all-u-can-drink promotion over Songkran. For 900 baht, you were provided as many bottles of Singha-Tiger-Chang-Leo you wanted in any of their four bars (XXX Lounge, The Strip, Black Pagoda, and the new Black Bar adjacent Black Pagoda, just above the Patpong Museum). I decided to try it out, although I usually prefer Heineken or San Miguel (or Hoegaarden or Stella Artois). I'm surprised more bar groups don't try this type of promotion as a way of capturing their customers. Normally, I would have visited Bada Bing, King's Castle, and Pink Pan

    They never allowed licking pussy in Bangkok GoGos. But there’s one where the mamasan will pull the curtain on your booth so a girl can give you a bbbj.

    Things are different in Bangkok. Some GoGos are already operating at pre-covid levels. I was in Billboard at Nana Plaza last night and there were bare titties in the jacuzzi tub.

    There are no knickers at Baccara ?

    They have a good lineup at Baccara

    Made the rounds again this weekend. Patpong was very quiet, but I was there early, 7 PM Bada Bing had the stage draped off, but there were about eight girls hanging around. I ordered a Jack Coke for 180. Not only was it real Jack Daniels but a good measure. Went down good so I ordered another. The DJ was spinning rap music and they have an excellent sound system. Patpong I was almost deserted but there were 60 girls in Kings Castle, with 5 customers. I've been a customer of Kings Castle I for 30 years, they consistently have one of the be

    I doubt most tourists know the anthem.

    Sadly yes. This is Asia.

    So what did you buy? I thought about an aquarium ?, plants and cacti ? , but decided I’ll get get some picture frames and decorate my walls with some prints of my photos from Koh Kood. ?️

    This place has everything, more than 15,000 stalls divided into 30 sections. Since 1942, Chatuchak Weekend Market sells many different kinds of goods, including plants, antiques, electronics, cosmetics, pets, ceramics, furniture, clothing, and books. Pre-covid typically saw 200,000 visitors each weekend. Plan to spend a half a day here, it's the worlds largest and most diverse market. I usually arrive around 9 AM, not so much to beat the crowds as to beat the heat, which can be stifling. You can wander hours in this maze of shops. Fortunate

    Was at Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy this weekend, enjoying unseasonably cool weather. April is usually the hottest month. Nana Plaza in particular was buzzing, with more bars featuring dancers than last week, and bottled beer is going for 120 baht in all the bars. There's a new Rainbow 3 on the third level, next to Billboard. Soi Cowboy and Patpong are less busy, maybe they should drop their prices in trying to capture what's primarily an expat market? One place that's not happening is the beer bar area around Soi 7. It was shut down a few weeks ago. This was the pl

    For my most recent trip to Bangkok, I stayed at Lebua at State Tower, the "Hangover 2" hotel. Rooms were huge, 60 square meters. Nice views from the balcony The hotel lobby had a classic feel. I went up to the Sky Bar on the 63rd floor. They feature a special Hangover Cocktail, made with 18 year old Chivas, but at $40 who can afford a hangover? There are also some Michelin rated restaurants up there, like Sirocco

    Yeah, it's open. I'm sure there's a photo somewhere in this thread, although I've never been in there. I've never been in Oskar Bistro either, I think they have a dress code and I like to wear cut offs and flip flops.

    FYI, there's a beer bar area across the street from Wine Connection. I didn't show it because not open in the afternoon but it comes alive at night.

    I stated it closed for two years, actually it’s only one year. Their website shows the last time.

    I took a walk through my old neighborhood yesterday. I took these with my new Nikon ZfC camera ? which I specifically bought for street photography since it's half the weight of my Nikon Z6 (half the cost too), with an inconspicuous retro-look. Some people may even think I'm shooting film. Heading north, Zanzibar has been closed for two years now. The food wasn't that good but I sometimes liked the band. The Ambassador Hotel is popular with Indian tourists. I'd frequently have a bagel for breakfast at Au Bon Pain bu

    There's a new burger joint in town called Bang Bang Burger, at the location of the previous Daniel Thaiger burger before 'the T' on Soi 11, across from Hillary 11. They serve the same craft beers as before but the restaurant now has a boxing theme. They serve a Cassius burger, an Iron Mike burger, a Raging Bull (with jalapenos), and a Duke. Burgers go for 320, including fries. This is the Cassius, a bacon burger. Here is The Duke, which is without the bacon. I had to research "Duke" in boxing lore and it turns out to be Tommy Morrison

    After 12 weeks I returned for my second AstraZeneca jab. The vibe was much different this time, much more upbeat, and more people in the hotels. I booked the Sofitel and they gave me a corner room on the 25th floor with lots of windows. The governor of my province had outlawed the sale of alcohol until the end of the month in an effort to reduce the covid spread, even in the 7-11s, so I came a few weeks early. The lobby was a nice place to hang out for afternoon tea I tried the 24-hour room service for Khao Soi,
