You desperation acknowledged
[QUOTE=Ralph Kramden]Well Fatboy since you won't take Pita 123's good advice I guess you will just have to RTFF. However, I might add that if you at least go to XXXXXXXXs and have a fine dinner there (as I have done twice) and introduce yourself to Giotto, he might throw you a few bones of information which is probably more than you deserve.[/QUOTE]
What, are people here now obliged to stay at that particular hotel or else be denigrated?
Fatboy, you made a good choice. You won't need 'advice' to find the action in Lower Sukhumvit -- if you don't find it (which would be a remarkable feat) it will find you.
The lane where that hotel is just has the "artist bars" which all have fewer and less attractive girls than the gogos and other bars down in the lower numbered sois. There's a bunch of people who post in this thread who are pretty relentless in pushing that place, even when it starts one flame war after another (cuz others see it as spam). They know this, yet they keep at it. And then they make posts like that last one sometimes. "Go, or else". The Al Capone School of Marketing.
Stickman's 10 Major Changes in the (BKK) Bar Industry
Perhaps I should post this in the Thailand Expat forum. And may do that too.
For those of you who are familiar with Bangkok, Soi Cowboy and Stickman's Web columns, you should check out his recent list of 10 Major Changes In The Bar Industry In Bangkok Over The Last Decade. Sorry if someone else has already posted this. But it is well worth the read (esp if you are an expat who's been in LOS more than a few years).
