Located on Soi Boukow where the Great American sandwich shop was. The sandwich shop failed and it was a beer bar 7th Heaven for a very short time that failed sooooooooooo Lets build a GoGo. I went by today they have a small stage and the poles in it is a single shop house so small something along the lines of Pandoras on LK Metro or the old Smile between Mistys and Sapphire.

RR007 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 That Office on Lk Metro was buzzing friday night.... Some sort of party plenty of chicks to say the least 2 completely bollacky in the jacuzzi plus giving out free drink coupons outside. I only took a draft beer which is only 60 baht regular price anyway but guys came in beside had bottles so clearly no restriction. Draft was Tiger so time I'd had 4 and ready to pop over Showgirls total bill was only 180 baht so naturally lobbed over 200 damn good night in there for a fiver sterling Plenty of titties on view and obviously flange in jacuzzi 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sign has been outside for weeks now and the workmen have been in for about a month. Not a cheap refurb either, full JBL sound, Daikin Aircon. They had a staff meeting this afternoon. Have no idea when they are opening. It’s a tiny bar and I can see them doing much but wish them well. Last night.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's going to have a lot of parking my guess is maybe tour groups not the greatest location I guess time will tellSent from my LG-H962 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When construction started up last year and he saw the magnitude of what was going in he pulled up stakes and now lives in the Pratumnak Hill area. Wise move on his part and in a much nicer location.

I will not be tempted away from my stylist "Da" who says what a lovely colour my hair is and that I am a very hansum man and always thanks me for the 100 baht tip I give her.

misteregg Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 The new gogo opening up the Soi is a gogo on the ground floor and karaoke on the second floor.Couldn’t believe it when the Thai lady owner told me the rent. It’s actually more than my place and it’s half the size. The last resident there was paying less than half the rent she is now. New TVs, fridges, sound system going in. She’s spent a fortune. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Penevil Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) This may not be new, but Jolly's no longer seems to offer a Sunday carvery buffet. The restaurant and the Piss Stop Bar have had a checkered past due the major, major legal problems of the husband-and-wife owners. It doesn't get more serious than being sentenced to death. The food had gotten atrocious in the wake of all the hassles and the restaurant was closed for months. Apparently it's being operated by the family of the wife and old staff. The menu and specials haven't changed, but the carvery is gone. I just hope the food has gotten better, but I'm not brave enough to try it again. The Beer Hubb on Soi Buakhao across from the Chunky Monkey has been open about a month now, but doesn't seem to have attracted many customers. The set up looks nice and the price of bottled beer is in line with other bars on Soi Buakhao. The menu is Indian, Thai and international food.

Painter Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 The area behind the great wall in the avenue is being cleared into one large open space. No sign as to what is going in there yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR007 Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 Heads up for the 2 Happiness Bars in Soi 7 who have made their previous happy prices into now 24/7 prices All beer is 60 baht. Fair play to them. Some right little cuties in their last night as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit like as a guy who almost never wears watches or sun glasses I'm hardly ever bothered by hawkers. Wear them and it's obvious that you like them so you are a good target to sell to.

Painter Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Running "parallel" to the avenues great wall, a new row of market stall. They do make the passage a bit narrow in one part.... Some already occupied... Including this chap who last year had a stall in the downstairs market, then was moved to a small 2nd floor out of the way lockup, then to the middle of the 2nd floor market, now to here. He always seems busy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the right is another 7-11.. .. Plenty of convenience already in the area. What they need is an ice cream shop since the cookies and cream place had a fire and closed down a few years ago (and it looks like the beauty salon will take over their former location) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
