Soi 8 Disco

[JT 0]

Recently stayed at the Bella Vista, next door to the Pig & Whistle, on the little road between sois 7 & 8. Hotel was great but after 1am it became almost impossible to sleep due to the thud of the music, from the disco on soi 8, which didn't cease until after 4am. I don't know if it affected all rooms but presumably is an issue for a number of hotels in the soi 7 & 8 area. Tried staying up 'til 4am but after a few nights gave up and moved hotel. JT

The "disco" is called 8 1/2. A major pain in the ass! The noise from there has caused two nearby businesses to close, and others to crank up their amplifiers to try to compete. The increased noise levels have run off many customers...including myself. And yes, it does continue to operate after 1 AM when all others shut down their music and lights. My contacts tell me that the noise continues because of payoffs to the police. Operators of near-by bars are afraid to complain. Seriously!
