Until this afternoon, I wasn't sure what they were doing at the front of Areca Lodge (on Soi Diana). This is what it looks like at the moment:

You will see that the area to the front, and the bar on the right side, have been demolished.

This artist's image is posted on the hoarding outside of how it will look:

This seems to indicate that the place is getting a facelift, a water feature at the front, and a bit of an extension on the right side.

Here you can see the work being done on the right side:

Having stayed there many times over the years it was apparent that the side bar and the space given over to tables in front was less than a great success; rarely did I see more than a few lonely souls hanging in either place. The renovation makes sense, hope it turns out well .
