Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

He said he spent weeks reaching out to about 80 bars in Singapore as well as a couple hundred in Bangkok ..

What pet project have you accomplished while stuck at home during the pandemic? One man used his time to call nearly 300 bars in Singapore and Bangkok – his two favorite cities – one by one every day for weeks to ask how they were getting by.

The fruits of his labor just launched at Sipp.me, which connects people directly to the delivery or gift certificate options at their favorite watering holes. It’s the work of Giuliano “Gino” Gottini, a Bangkok resident who said his passion project was born of boredom during the months-long COVID-19 outbreak which closed the bars in both places.

There, viewers can see bars in their vicinity and click directly to access their delivery or gift voucher services, whether via a third-party delivery service or social media. They can also save their favorite bars for easy future access.

Asked what he gets from the one-man project, Gottini said he doesn’t expect a single baht.
