Sukhumvit Psycho

Songkran (April 13 to 16, 2012 in Bangkok and longer in Pattaya or Chiang Mai) is usually not a good time for Bangkok’s nightlife punters. Half the girls go back home for the holidays, the other half only want to ‘play Songkran’ (throw water at each other), water is everywhere and it is difficult to [...]

“Three Bomb blasts rock city” was the headline of the Bangkok Post today, following the 3 explosions that occurred in Bangkok yesterday. If you want to know more about what happened, read here and here. It is still safe to travel to Bangkok. Remember our last travel advice? We stick to it!

It could be a big joke on April 1st, but today is not April 1st and this article is on the front page of Bangkok Post‘s Business Section: PC Air, a new privately owned Thai airline, is the first carrier to employ “the third gender” (=Ladyboys) as flying attendants. And PC Air is now ready [...]

The flooding threat is over. Bangkok downtown will not be flooded. That’s what the government and the media say and I believe them. The water is receding in several flooded areas of Bangkok, including the Ratchada / Lad Prao area (Looks like they did their best to protect Poseidon, Emmanuelle and all the other Soapy [...]

Bangkok Downtown (Sukhumvit, Ratchada, Silom, Sathorn, etc.) is still completely dry. Some other areas have been flooded, in the East and in the North, but not us. Still, it is not clear if the threat is over or not. Some say yes, some say no. My advice is: if you are a risk taker and [...]

How was Soi Cowboy without Shark Go-Go bar? I don’t know. Most of you probably don’t know either as Shark bar has been around for 9 years now. And tonight they are celebrating their 9th Anniversary. Free food and Gold Party (lottery/cocktail), whatever that means. Expect a lot of girls, a lot of balloons and [...]

Is it the new election? The very rainy ‘rainy season‘? The long weekend? The global downturn? The earthquake in Japan? The Summer Holidays in Europe and the US? Or just me?

If you don’t like these non-alcohol weekends you might want to avoid Bangkok (and Thailand) on July 15th to 17th as it will be another dry weekend. The problem is not only that they don’t serve alcohol, but also that a lot of bars and clubs close because they don’t make enough money with coke [...]

This weekend is THE general election weekend in Thailand (last weekend was just a warm up). No alcohol from Saturday 6pm until Sunday midnight. Expect the law to be well enforced and some bars and massage shops to be closed for the weekend. In addition it is pouring rain since yesterday night and looking at [...]
