    Vagamundo got a reaction from mikel in S15.   
    I lived in an apartment building on Soi 10 several winters ago about ten minutes walk from CIB and this was before CIB relocated there. The only place in that area near CIB was Lollipops. Further down the Soi, there is nothing going on and just a few small hotels and one or two restaurants near the beginning on the Soi. It’s only advantage is its proximity to the parks at end of Soi. Unfortunately, the cool venue in Chavit Park closed after Covid and it’s now slated for a large condo and commercial space, which is oh so sorely needed in Bangkok…
    At least the location is discrete for punters. Unlikely, you will run into anyone you know there unless they are in the area for the same reason.

    So I walked down there and the bad news is there is no access to soi 10 or Benjakitti Park from Soi 12. You have to go to Soi 10.
    I also asked 2 condo security guards, 2 street vendors and the lady with shop right at the far end of soi 12 (You can just see it in the last picture). All said no shortcut have to go around.

    Vagamundo got a reaction from gainsbarre in Monsoon in Soi 8   
    Kiwi closed in early spring of 2020 and believe there was a permanent decision not to re-open. You may remember they were situated near the beginning of Soi 8 and had to move down to a sub Soi off 8 to make way for a new hotel, which probably did not help their walk in traffic. Their old location is now marred by this ugly designed hotel that brings nothing of interest to the neighborhood.
