  1. Fuck you, NotTheNation. :mooning:

    the article hit the nail on the head! excellent!

    just one sentence is wrong: "have never eaten or drank outside Washington Square or the Emporium since, well, last century": it is not since last century but since the vietnam war ended...and those guys usually do not go to Emporium! 7-11 and Ya Dong seller 2 blocks further down the Soi are enough for them to survive!

  2. Given what you have to negotiate these days on the lower part of Sukhumvit I think 22 is relatively pleasant. In so far as any inner city red light slum tourist attraction ever could be. I will be strolling that very soi this coming Friday, er tomorrow.

    give my best regards to Khun Mallee in the new Happy Pub; she was already sleeping when I dropped by recently.

    tell her it is from Somchai...she will then know who I am

  3. did a walk through WS or better what is left of it last night...

    only Easy Pub and Square One are still open but both were completely empty, no guests, no girls and then the two open air bars at the entrance from Soi 22

    they already demolished the houses from former Silver Dollar to Cat's Meow

     

    Happy Pub reopened at Soi 22 close to the entrance to WS beside Denny's corner and a massage shop; it is now even smaller and has a handfull of new girls but not to the better; there seem to be more and more bars along Soi 22

     

    also noticed a lot of Indians in Soi 22

  4. Now if I was to find myself in such a predicament I would want to end it, I am all for euthanasia but I would not jump from a bridge.

    I would not! I would go through it! I think it is very selfish and irresponsible towards and horrible for relatives and friends!

  5. I recently went for a small SUV after driving standard cars for years because I needed the extra ground clearance and part-time 4WD.

     

    Look for a diesel if possible as it is heavily subsidised so will keep your running costs down.

    so what brand of a "small SUV" did you buy? experience?

     

    diesel subsidized: you mean tax or fuel or what is subsidized?

  6. SUV seem to be very popular in Thailand.

    I consider myself to buy one. Here is a list of what is available at what price in Thailand: http://www.thaicar.com/demo/new_car/detail_all.php?type=4

    From the most popular Toyota Fortuner and Isuzu MU-7 until the high end (and expensive) Land Rover and German BMW x-Series and Porsche Cayenne

     

    are you driving a SUV? what brand and why? experiences?

    or you stick to the

    - "normal" cars http://www.thaicar.com/demo/new_car/detail_all.php?type=1

    - pick ups

    - tuck tuck

    - motorcycle

  7. Why did the sex tourist cross the road?

    he did not cross yet! he just asked for advise how to cross safely, either overpass or underground...

     

    someone should propose to the city planer to build a new washington square underground of Suk/Asoke intersection with entrances from all 4 corners...

     

    (then we could also get back to the original topic of the thread!)

  8. There is an overpass that will get you from on side of Suk to the other. Bit of a hike up the stairs and all, but possible.

    It is near the corner of Asoke and Suk.

    that's not what he asked for! He wanted to get from the even side of Suk across (New) Rachadaphisek to the other even side, or in other words cross Rachadaphisek on the south side of Sukhumvit?

    understood?

  9. Thanks Munchy. Will be interesting to see whether rents/prices go up in Soi 22 once that garagantuan development is completed. They were still doing the foundations for that monster on the corner when I last saw it - directly across the road from what must surely be Thailand's smallest beer bar. 4 customers and the girls literally have nowhere to sit - not to mention that its in full view of every passing cop in need of tea money.

    do you mean corner of Soi 22 and Sukhumvit? That would be the new Holiday Inn. And the small bar across the street is Angel Bar
