I miss Le Bouchon and The French Kiss on Patpong 2 and No Idea on Soi 22.

Isn't Le Bouchon now on Soi Jusmag?

I recal a restaurant on Soi 23 called Old Siam I think, specialized  in Essarn cuisine, and some other foods from around thailand very good food very good prices. The decor was old Thailand style. I remember upstairs had a beautiful table set with gorgeous China and an old bicycle Sam Lor… A fake straw roof downstairs so it made you think you were eating it like an old style house. It was a beautiful restaurant with great food.

Sounds like "The Local" now - same location and decor.

No Idea now on Soi 18 - but the original location still empty on Soi 22.  

Reads like a paid advertisement or sponsorship.

There are an estimated 250,000 unregistered Burmese maids in Thailand working on beck and call 24 hours per day 7 days a week with no time off

Unregistered? That number seems too high.  The few Burmese maids that I have been associated with - all were registered. 

A lot more to this story - but bottom line - don't act like you own the road when your a foreigner in Thailand!

Flashermac, do you remember our encounter at the Lucky Luke Bar at the entrance to Nana Plaza?
 

That place is a weed shop now. 

RIP Expat_Dan which was his last Twitter handle that I remember.  

Sorry about the mask - but this was Black Tiger on his way out of Thailand late last year! 

[Sorry, Pom_Michael, have removed the pic. Not sure SD would have appreciated it being posted.]

Agreed - once or twice a year type of event would be good. 

Anyone remember the name of the venue where we had the Server Party?  On Soi 11 if I remember correctly.

The charged the 3 friends with something over the weekend.

Any idea what type of Test & Go he gets upon return?

Perfect subject line, that really says it all!

I thought they were talking about Rupiah! 

1,000,000 Indonesian Rupiah equals $69.74 United States

Ok, so the plot thickens - ? 

I have no idea if Stickboy was anyway connected to the Stickman site - https://www.stickboybkk.com

I now see (source = Twitter) - that the person behind the Stickboy media network has left Thailand - and per his own announcement - for good.  

Related or just a strange coincidence? 

Thanks Stick - I thought as much but wanted to post here figuring you would give us the inside scoop.

Anyone know what is going on with Stickman Uncensored? 

Yes - exactly - you need to do a real test when you arrive at the hotel here.  Once the results come in (and negative) then you're free to leave the hotel.

I am more familiar with the ability to drink beer in the evening which they seem to have allowed by now.

Not quite smoothly yet though - I saw reports of places being closed down for not having the SHA+ required certification.

Also from today's clarification - but Baby Steps!  

“For those who do not finish their alcoholic drinks after the 9pm deadline, they should take their bottles home or try to drink up or just throw them away. Officials will be sent to make regular inspections.”

My suggestion is to pay attention to domestic tourism first, then bring on the internationals - and even then start with people who basically want to come "home" to Thailand (for work / family) before the "normal" tourism is opened. 

The PM may have been exposed to the COVID virus directly - which under the present guidelines would mean he needs to self-isolate for 14 days!

Hey Dean - I would guess that July would be a good date to expect this.  The expectation is that the quarantine will be reduced to 7 days for fully vaccinated people as early as April. 

Yes, I saw that - but that is just the cost for the piece of paper - not the actual vaccine!

Brings back memories of the 3M (MMM) Hotel! 

Sorry - that did not come out correctly - no - I don't own them - but they are available for sale - at least it seems.

You own those two domain names? 

Didn't Khun Sanuk own the nanaplaza domain in the past?  It used to redirect to the forum back in 2004/2005. 

Hey Stick - good to see you here again.  

A few weeks ago you write an article about the old Bangkok based bloggers - that was a time travel piece back in history for me.  

Time for someone to consolidate a few newer bloggers/vloggers or now Twitter/Tiktok stars - something for Stickboy or someone. 

I'm surprised I never figured out the connection between Stickman and Stickboy. 

Still have both http://www.nanaplaza.com and http://soicowboy.com domains for sale!
