Happy Bar is a small Pattaya-style Beer Bar located on Sukhumvit soi 22, a bit further down the soi past the Imperial Queen’s Park hotel and all the naughty or not-so-naughty massage shops. Happy Bar is the only Beer Bar in this part of the soi that is actually pretty quiet. It’s a small bar [...]

Only 50 meters away from the previously reviewed Lilla Hotel, Jasmine Resort Hotel is a completely different kind of hotel: First, it is not cheap: Although not a five star hotel, Jasmine Resort Hotel has prices (and services) to match with Bangkok‘s finest offering, with the cheapest room starting at 5,000++ baht and the most [...]

Friday, October 21st, 2011

At first when I read about this place and saw the website I though it was an hoax. Obviously it is not. However I haven’t checked it out by myself yet. I only have read a very well written and comprehensive report here. According to this report, Dr BJ’s Salon has opened its doors a [...]

Monday, October 10th, 2011

The address says “Thonglor soi 19″ but the easiest way to reach this place is to make a left from soi Thonglor (Sukhumvit soi 55) into Thonglor soi 13 and then make a right when you see the SuperModel Spa sign. The place is not easy to find. However I found this website that gives [...]
