Always have done ... since the year 2,000. In fact he has probably been to more nanapong dance contests than anyone else, apart from ourselves. He's also been to many of the old nanapong private parties we used to organize.

Well I admit I got it wrong (not the first time!!). The place has opened up as a gogo despite no gogo licence. The place is owned by the same owners as Corner Bar and if you know the ownership structure of that place, you will understand how they have been able to get away with it!

It will never become a gogo - no new licenses will be issued to a new venue.....bar beer maybe but never a gogo

Most nights it's 2:30 am however as others have pointed out, the police occasionally come along earlier and tell the bars to close.

Yes you can. When you come off the expressway at Phetburi Road, turn left (it's the only way you can go). Get into the right hand lane and go for about 500 metres or so. Turn right at the lights and you are now on Sukhumvit Soi 3. Get in the far right hand lane, and when you get to the lights opposite Nana Hotel you can turn right on the correct side of the road to join the Expressway

If it were me, I would stay on the Bangna-Chonburi expressway until you reach At Narong junction and then take the Ramintra - At Narong Expressway until you see a sign saying Sukhumvit Soi 50. Drop your friend at Tesco Lotus (which is right at the exit and has a skytrain link, and then rejoin the expressway where you got off. Follow the expressway signs for Din Daeng and then you will be back on the Don Muang Expressway which is where you need to be heading. It's a route that takes you "two sides of a triangle" but it is the easiest way to get off and back on again the expressway if you're not sure of the area. The quickest way is Sukhumviy Soi 3 exit. You will actually get off on Phetburi Road (not Sukhumvit) and will have to make your way to Sukhumvit from there. A few U-Turns will be required to get you back the right way to the expressway. Hope that's clear as mud.

Try Tables Restaurant in the Grand Hyatt Erawan. Lobster Thermidor is their signature dish and great though not cheap

I'm not overly impressed with Insomnia. A new place has opened in the basement of the Intercontinental Hotel at Chitlom called Club Mixx that has two rooms, one playing House, the other Hip Hop R&B. A lot better in my opinion. They have an affiliation with the Fashion Channel, so lots of models go there especially on the weekends. http://www.mixx-discotheque.com/

I have been to Queen Victoria on Soi 23 in previous years and never been disappointed. So for those people not looking for up-market type places, here is the menu for this year: Christmas Menu Serving from December 20th: Roasted Pumpkin & Thyme Soup with Gruyere B165 or Prawn Cocktail with Seafood Sauce B220 --------------------- Roast Turkey & Roast Pork with Stuffing B399 Cranberry Sauce Sausage & Bacon Roll Roasted & Creamed Potato Brussel Sprouts Glazed Carrots Cauliflower Florets Minted Garden Peas --------------------- Christmas Pudding with Brandy Butter B175 Mince Pie Glass of House Wine B135 [color:red]Set Menu B875[/color] Or as Individually Priced Areas available for private parties

Yes the old "They Did It First" argument. The UDD already rejected the offer of elections by year end by the current PM.

It's not really a safety issue for the beer bars to be knocked down. I was told by a board member last night, which I later confirmed with someone "in the know" that the space is going to be utilized for something else. All will be revealed in a couple of months apparently.

The Mall is called SM Mall on Clark. It's made a huge improvement to Angeles but it does have a lot to improve on. The floating bars in Subic are not as raunchy as you've been led to believe I'm afraid. Yes there are girls there but nothing over the top goes on there. More like beer bars on water I would say.

Dollhouse / Atlantis/ Carousel plus a couple of new bars on Real Street are owned by a couple of Hawaiians I believe. Geckos bar tends to be one of my favorites there. Others I like are la pasha, Cambodia and Stinger bars. I'm with work in Manila next week so may take an extended weekend break up there afterwards. I love the place but tend to get bored shitless if there for more than 4 days or so as daytime activities outside of fucking and sleeping are limited!
