Coss Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Found on another board, I make no representations to validity. "Recently the pub/resturant owners in Washington Square, Bangkok received notice that their leases may be terminated by the owners in 2009. The notice also read that evictions may be enforced by police. The plan is to tear down the rundown buildings in the square and redevelop the area. This time it's real...she's comin' down." Comments?

Bangkoktraveler Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 The way some of the pubs have looked for the last few years, I find this to be not a surprise if true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Scrutinizer Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Too bad if true. I like the area. Quaint, fun, everything a man could want in one small area, bars, restaurants, massage, friendly people, good prices in many of the establsihments. I'll be sad to see it go.

Dumsoda Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Where exactly is Washington Square???.... I think I've been there once or twice (in a past life!)....but my memory fails me....really don't think I could find my way back there again now!!!! Besides....I've heard it can be a very unfriendly place :onfire: :onfire: Not that it really matters.....there's not much chance of me being in the neighbourhood in the foreseeable future......

Central Scrutinizer Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 DS, You'd like it there I feel. You should stop in one day before it is all gone. :smirk: Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumsoda Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 Cent, maybe.....but from what I've heard recently, if one was to go there, it could possibly place one's health and well being in grave danger.... Personally, hate the sight of blood.....especially MINE ....lol Best they just bulldoze the joint and build a new shopping mall....IMHO... :hubba: :hubba: :hubba: :hubba: Cheers DS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Scrutinizer Posted April 24, 2008 Report Share Posted April 24, 2008 I like it. It is a relaxed and laid back area without a lot of the hard sell of other more tourist oriented areas. More of an expat area, lots of old hands around, not so tourist oriented, although there are many tourists hanging there they are mainly long time repeat tourists who know how to act and behave due to their long term exposure from their many trips to Thailand. I'd miss the area if it goes under. Cent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
