It was so much better fun there when Balcony bar closed for Songkran and the water play went on without the fun police
Well, it certainly was for the staff. Many of them sub rented the terraces of closed bars (Balcony included).
They made a fortune during the three days.
But it was really no different to the surrounding Silom Road or Twighlight.
I've been the last two years for the water dry soi 4. It was just as crowded and fun and an oasis (can an oasis be water free?) to get away from the madness for a while. -

English is my native language, I speak professionally and I have a deep and clear voice. It was maddening.
Maybe not your deep professional voice but the words you were using. There is no point in using big complicated words however deep your voice is.
Do you poke them with your silver tipped cane if they refuse to understand you? -

Hmmm... The clues:
1. Soi Nana.
2. Five a.m.
3. Ability to mobilise 100 sisters within a day.
Professional jealousy perhaps?
Not Soi NaNa. Wrong side of the road. Soi 11 used to be an upmarket, soi housing the likes of The Bed Club. Apparently, not now.

We tend to forget there's another famous soi 6 - in Pattaya, full of girl bars, it's why is rarely mentioned here unless Vessey chips in
Yes indeed and quite a few in Bangkok too.
I was once disappointed when my straight colleagues at work suggested that we all go to soi 4.
Sadly, they meant Sukhumvit soi 4 which is a famous girly bar area (Na Na).- BL8gPt, vinapu and floridarob

Just for interest --- if you end up here in Bangkok and are really 'pissed off' with all the cretinous farang firing their giant water cannons, make your way to Silom Soi 4 (Sala Daeng skytrain exit 1?), which will be water free (security at the head of the soi to confiscate guns).
These days are the busiest 3 days of the year in soi 4, it will be packed from 7ish till closing, continuously!
My choice is Balcony Pub or Connections.
They open for alcohol at 17:00 and are there, dry, till late.
Oh, and forget stories that it all finishes (the water throwing, at 18:00 or 21:00). This is Thailand (T.I.T.) and rules are meant to be broken.Me? I'll be locked in my room, stocked with Leo Beer.
Oh and another VERY important point ---- do not take money, jewellery, passports etc out with you. Pickpockets abound.
Everywhere, you will see plastic pouches for sale (about 100 Baht) to keep dry any personal items needed to be kept dry. But they are not thief proof.
Finally, have fun.- vinapu and splinter1949

Hi everyone,
During Songkran weekend 4/12 - 4/14, where would it be more fun to be at: Bangkok, Pattaya or Chiang Mai?
Thanks
Locked in my room from 12th to 14th (12/4-14/4) with sufficient beer! Actually longer this year, damn.

Quite right that the price of a drink is to cover an entry price.
I haven't been to these bars for ages but I seem to recall that in some bars, subsequent drink prices were lower than the first drink. -

Some of us have better things to do.
Some don’t. Good for YOU.
You must be the only person who didn't know about it! Full page on Facebook from D.J. Station (and other bars) informing.
So, your 'better things' are to are to write to this forum informing of you ignorance of centuries old Thai customs. Newbie in Thailand? -

I wonder if this is based on their clients rather that the wider gay population.
This sounds much more likely.

So if those tourists are inded from Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, or Korea, it's fine to describe them as East Asian.
This isn't a matter of being "PC." It's a matter of being accurate and specific. 🎯
No it's not!

a cop was assigned to supervise pedestrian crossing on Surawong
Good to hear Patpong coming back to as of old days. After all, it used to be a worldwide publicised attraction of Bangkok (the Night Market)..
The policeman supervising the zebra crossing on Surawong should be copied on Silom. I've always wondered why they haven't done it for years. I'd have thought it was an easy and obvious opportunity for B.I.B. trouserring'. -

Enjoyed the video and the narrators.
He missed a couple of points though
Malaysia was indeed built for R.&R. for U.S. Vietnam troops BUT only for the officers. They built a condo block behind, for the lower ranks --Pitak Court.
Close to Pitak was a small restaurant frequented by the King and Queen of Sweden when they came here on their scouting Jamborees.
At the entrance to the Malaysia carpark and part of the hotel, was a large Issan Music Bar. Live Issan music and usually packed solid. Many bar boys.
They later converted it into a massage area (straight).
For years, the carpark was busy with freelancers plying their trade.
The video mentioned Wong's Bar, still there and frequented by several Soi4 customers. -

Good old days. I really miss the Babylon (the old one at the beginning of the road, now an apartment house
Surely the original Babylon building is now the new venue of Le Bouchon, the French restaurant formerly on Patpong 2.
I was late to meet friends for lunch and hopped on a motor bike taxi at the subway station and said "Le Bouchon" and he said "oh, you mean Babylon". -

As you asked so nicely Zombie, you need to know that you can still get more on FRIDAY in Pattaya.
