Sukhumvit Psycho

The mouth of Sukhumvit soi 22, on Sukhumvit road side, is full of small beer bars very similar to the ones you’d find in Pattaya. Otto, Traveler22, Angel Bar, etc. are all located directly on the soi, on the right hand side. They lie next to each other and it goes on up to Titanium. [...]

The name sounds like the one of a Ratchada Massage Parlor, but Survey Entertainment is actually the latest beer bar to have opened on Sukhumvit soi 33. It replaces one of the oldest beer bars of the soi, Vincent Van Gogh beer bar. And this is one more dead artist that disappear from the soi! [...]

This information has to be confirmed. For now, it is appropriate to say that it is only the word of mouth. But it seems like Lolita’s has a new competitor on Sukhumvit since yesterday. Lollipop 1 offers the same services as the infamous Lolita’s, but rumor has it that it plans to be even bigger [...]

Washington Square is slowly dying, with more and more of the few massage shops, bars and restaurants still there closing their doors one after the other. But on the other side of Sukhumvit soi 22, Queen’s Park Plaza seems to be doing better and better. Last time I was in the area, I saw more [...]

Crowd watching is increasingly popular now on Sukhumvit soi 4. After the Bus Stop restaurant that took down a few walls to allow the customers to watch the crowd passing by, it is now Hillary 1 Bar, the one on the right hand side, past the RaJah hotel parking lot, that goes open air. They [...]

Things are happening on Sukhumvit soi 33! The Bongo Club has closed its doors. Not such a big surprise as this bar’s business model was very unclear: It was not a Go-Go bar, not a Coyote bar,  not a bar, not a club… it was everything and nothing. Go figure out. I think customers gave [...]

Competition is tougher and tougher with beer bars on Sukhumvit soi 4, with the new Stumble Inn and “4“, the recently extended Strikers and all the other ones. But maybe everyone benefits from the crowd and this gives the old timers more opportunities. It seems that Melody’s UK is doing good, and even better than [...]

Bongo Club Bangkok is the very last bar on Sukhumvit soi 33, on the right hand side past Teen Massage 3 shop, near the small alley that leads to Bistro 33. The place used to be a Japanese-only karaoke bar called Hole in One or the 19th hole or something like that. Golf theme. It [...]

On soi Cowboy the refurbishing of Country Road bar, the live band music bar on the Asok end of soi Cowboy, is over. However it doesn’t seem like anything has changed inside. I am not a regular customer of this place but for me it is still same old same old inside. And the outside [...]

It did not take them long to replace the old grocery store with yet another beer bar. When I saw the name, Stumble Inn, I thought it would be an hotel. But who would open an hotel there? Or a short time hotel maybe? But no. It’s a beer bar, another one, right between Morning [...]
