Amazing the Soi was shut down 3 years ago and nothing has been built on the Site.

What a waste of time the Bars could have been open...

The Junta have been insisting on bar closures for much of that time.

🤔

They could probably be facing some kind of red tape rigmarole in obtaining a construction permit (in my country, this sometimes could take as long as 5 to 10 years post site clearance and relocation)

But this is Thailand. About 8 years or so ago there was an excellent British Pie Shop at the top of Soi Yen Akat. It made a wide variety of pies, including a Green Curry Pie, and they were all delicious. It was forced to move out as a result of the block due to being demolished. After moving several times, I believe the shop has now been reincarnated as the London Pie Shop and Restaurant near Ekamai BTS station. Not surprisingly, the Yen Akat block is still standing.

Ah well, at least people can take a walk down memory lane now, even if it's only halfway down the lane. Hopefully they won't build some big monolithic building and we will still be able to identify the former locations of our favourite bars when walking through whatever it is that eventually gets built. Since Bangkok is expecting a major glut of office space over the next two or three years, perhaps they won't start work on anything permanent for a while to work. More of those open-air "spaces" would be welcome in the meantime.
