Big Dogs.... great for an early drink and watching the parade enter The Plaza on their way to work
Bullys.... love the food there, though missed the succulent lamb chops after they were taken off the menu. Pub grub dose what it says on the tin
(Barry) Fitzgerald’s formerly Hanrahans.... Like fact you can build your own breakfast there and they do a mean bacon butty as well. Plus it’s good to chill outside having a cigarette & a coffee 

Sports corner off of Soi 20

Big Dogs : same reason as OTS and Bwana_lb
Bus Stop : in the morning  for the breakfast and the cute waitress
Hillary 2 : I feel good there moving around bodies, enjoying the live music and the drinks, having fun with a ladyboy after or before a session, watching the players at pool

I'm also a fan of Big Dogs, for the same reasons as OTS, who I've joined at the Big Dogs rail to watch the talent arrive.

My top three bars are:
1. Stumble Inn: great people watching, great live music, open front, just a great place!
2. Fitzgerald's: great food, great people watching, nice staff (usually)
3. Bully's Pub: great Thai food, great selection of drinks, air conditioned, nice place to hang around for a while

Long time since I lived in Osaka. But can still hold a conversation in basic Japanese. 
 
To bring it back on topic the nightclub between Soi’s 13 & 15 is this the one Jonny from former ladyboy bar Paradise Club involved with a couple of years back  ?

That's Japanese and translates as:

OTS is inviting forum members to one hour in the Trump nightclub in Bangkok who are accompanied by a ladyboy who can convincingly say: Watashi wa otokonokode wanaku on'nanokodesu...

Many thanks, SAG and OTS. I think the absence of a pool would be a deal-breaker for me. Schlepping across the way to use a pool doesn't really work, as I have enjoyed running from my room to the jacuzzi with my LB guests in the evening at the Soi 6 location. Weather permitting, I'm poolside reading and listening to music for an hour or two every day. 

Soi 6 is a much better location for the bars and a much newer hotel than the other two.
My own personal preference between 11 and 13 would be 11 as a good location for Soi 11 bars and restaurants and the hotel itself situated in Soi 11 alley. From which you can take a few minutes stroll to Soi 3 then on to Soi 4. 
I found the rooms so much better than the 13 location as it doesn’t let in as much light and seem dark all the time. Where as 11 seemed much brighter with bigger windows. I’ve always had an upgrade at 11 and never at the 13 location. 
The only negative with 11 is there is no pool but you can use the Soi 13 pool
I’ve done a more in depth view on both in my hotel thread as for what you get from both. Found on pages 4+5
But it’s just personal preference for 11 for me. Each person will have their own different preferences 

cheers! I was in that Foodland last night, will return 2moro

Chemist in Foodland soi 5 it’s just on your left when you enter Foodland.  

Hi OTS,
The guy is there every day. He is not annoying. He is simply there.
Like the ladyboys at dusk (maybe not the same lbs than 20 years before).

The only ones Ive added are by using the mobile number of the lbs I have seen online or in my contacts 
If you ain’t got their number you won’t be able to do it.

What has worked in my case is the following:
Go to the search box (click on the magnifying glass). Enter a letter, if possible the one that is most likely the first letter of the Line ID. In my case the app suggested possible accounts / friends (auto complete) and one of the suggestions was indeed the one I was looking for... But there must be an easier way to get hold of someone's Line ID or Phone no. ...???
 

I’ve looked through every setting their is and can’t find it in my friends list. If they are in your friends list I don’t think you can.

Chuvit Garden on Sukhumvit Soi 10, close to Check-in Bar, has come to life again. Since 30 May 2019 you can find the Art Box there.
Art Box will be in Chuvit Garden until 30 November 2019.  They’re open every day from 3pm to midnight.
The Art Box is a mix of outdoor night market, live music venue and food and craft beer places.
One can eat and drink there before going to CIB for example...
After the demolition of Washington Square with its makeshift gogo bars and other girlie bars in 2003, Chuvit garden became first a public park but was finally closed a couple of years ago. The former owner wanted to build a ****hotel there but then dropped those plans...



 Thanks :-)
 
 

Hey Taas
Wandering slightly off topic - one of the benefits of living in the third world is that lung torpedoes can still be purchased for less than USD 1, which shows how much sin tax you are paying in the UK!
Regarding the illegality of vaping in Thailand, I wonder if its a coincidence that it is rumoured that the Thai Minister of Health owns a substantial shareholding in the cigarette importing monopoly?
TIT after all!
Cheers

FYI pulled from Thaivisa News:
'' Also in February it was announced that smoking has been banned at six airports in Thailand.
Smoking rooms have been removed Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai and Mae Fah Luang airports, with smokers now only permitted to smoke in special smoking zones located outside terminal buildings.`
It's also worth noting for those who vape, it's is illegal to vape in Thailand, police make good money out of vapers in public. 
 

One reason I like Citrus 11 is you can cut out the long walk down Soi 11 by going down Soi 11 alley where Citrus is situated.
I stayed at Le Fenix in 2009 and used the alley to get to Nana Plaza etc 
It may look far but a lot less traffic and once you get in to Soi 3 there are wider pavements with less people. Much quicker in my opinion. 
Their is a short cut to Soi 7 and 7/1 from Soi 11 by Raintree Massage Palour where you cut through the car park. Gates usually closed after midnight though.

I've stayed there many times and have always found it good value for money. Rooms are spacious, beds large and extremely comfortable, bathrooms adequate. Below some pics of the room featuring Ming as a willing participant to brighten it up a little
 
If I stay in the soi 11 area my preferred hotel nowadays is Fraser Suites. Large modern rooms, decent swimming pool, great rooftop bar (Above 11) for only a little bit more money than the likes of Mercure.
 

I get that and how the tables have turned with them now playing catch up .

You’d have never have got me in there in the old days I remember they had Man Utd napkins in the restaurant.
