And one on top!

But for that the toxicity of persistently dumb direction-pointing street drug equivalent Keethquiff may induce uncontrollable nausea among poor unsuspecting servers.

Does anyone know if Niki has returned to Moonlight?

Is this the Niki who's a little long in the tooth and has had a lot of work done? If it is, then yes. He tried his luck at Fake Club for a couple of weeks but couldn't cut it and returned to Moonlight. Fake Club is a huge hybrid dance club and host bar in Ratchadapisek with erotic dance shows and hosts to keep you company as you drink. It's got fancy lighting and a sound system reminiscent of an evangelical tabernacle. I was half expecting a young Joel Osteen to come out in a loincloth when I first went. The set up is meant to show opulence (beginning with the lobby) but frankly I found it a bit garrish.

They have many athletic and muscular hosts who in my view have better physiques and "fresher/cleaner" appearances than the Patpong guys. Niki with his frozen face and demeanour wouldn't stand out here. The sexy dance shows are well-choreographed and the troupe (not the hosts) has been invited to perform at events and clubs in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Taipei, Hong Kong and several big cities in China. Fake Club is popular with Thais and East Asians, particularly from China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Club-goers typically stand and dance around small tables where their drinks are placed but booth seating is also available. Music was very loud and conversation was near impossible for me as I'm accustomed to speaking, not shouting. I'd say prices were on the higher side and if memory serves me right you had to buy a set package for drinks depending on how close to the stage you were. IDs were randomly checked at the door but don't worry, they accepted bus passes too!

I loved that in Bangkok various places MRT have security but everyone sets it off and is waved through, made me smile every time!

Brutal but accurate 🤣

is Fake Club still as good now as it was before Covid? I think during and just after Covid it became a quieter live music venue for a time. Watching the videos now the guys don’t seem as good looking as before. I also noticed one of their stars is back but looking older. He used to be very hot with a perfect body and bad boy appeal.

Several people recommended chicken with cashew nuts being best at Sarica restaurant on Suriwong beside Wall tower soi so yesterday I decided to see if that is capitalistic propaganda ot truth. 

Happy to report that in my not so humble opionon, indeed their offering is the best in the Bangkok I tried so far since fall of Roman Empire. Generous  serving too and very good value a 200.

In case  of any doubts, in about 1 hour I will repeat experience  just to make sure yesterday was not one time peak

Just don’t order pizza if you are hungry! Tbf you will be warned

lucky I was with a kind sole who shared some of their chicken and cashews

That's nice. Be careful not to step on their feet. You don't want to lose their kindness.
