Where to go in Bangkok?
Where to go in Bangkok?
I have a mate going to Bangkok on 16th December for about 2 weeks, then onto PP.
Where is open in Bangkok for...erm...gentlemen's activities? Are things back to normal apart from the booze ban after 9pm?
He is staying near Patpong on Surawong Road. He knows his way around there very well, just wants to know what is going on at the moment.
All advice gratefully received.

Re: Where to go in Bangkok?
I'm a long-time retiree from the night circuit, but I know that as of tomorrow, restaurants can serve drinks until 11 pm and "bars" can get a food licence and serve too. The wonder!
I am informed that lots of girly places are well stocked, from the soi 7 Biergarten to Sukhumvit Soi 4 (Soi Nana) to Soi 8 and Soi 22. Booze and girls have been served openly along many of the single digit sois and into the double digit sois (and well into the night). Just have to wander and look for the lights and action.
Cowboy is locked and shuttered, even the police owned places -- though that could change soonish.
From what I heard and read, Patpong is dead and almost buried. But there could be one or two places with the goods. Also, many hunters are having a field day with those "dating" apps.
That's all I can offer.
This news just in: The government just announced foreigners arriving in Thailand will still have to get an RT-PCR test before being released. Change their mind because of the omicron variant. Was supposed to be switched to an ATK test Dec. 16. It has now been withdrawn.

Re: Where to go in Bangkok?
Hi Folks, do we know if the short time hotels are open.
Obviously after I arrive if will give you all the low down.
For now I’m wondering where to head to.

Re: Where to go in Bangkok?
It really was a beer 'garden' back then with a real garden and a menagerie of animals including a monkey..poor thing was tied up on a line that allowed it to go back and forth.. Then of course they just concreted it all in for extra bar tables and chairs.Big Daikon wrote: ↑Tue Nov 30, 2021 8:02 pmMonkey? Damn.

Same the old 'Thermae' was a hidden gem unlike the the latest one..
Heck, back then Nana Plaza had a car park in the middle...go figure!
