    ^ I've walked from soi 1 to the other end of Thonglor, took a bloody long time; about 2 hours. I've done it on a crawl too, didn't make it - the last thing I was remember was getting to soi 21ish then being carried home by a couple of taxi drivers - that was 8 or 9 years ago when I was less sensible than nowadays...
    Cycling should be banned!!!

    Jump on a motosai taxi, it's not going to break the bank (just a leg, maybe, if you don't tuck them in).

    Walk on the south side of the street. It is much faster than making your way through the sex toys, sexual aids, xxx dvd's and street whores. You can make double the time. That was an awful place to have to walk my kids through when they were going to NIST at night on Soi 15. Walk on the even numbered side of the street.

    Nothing snobby about avoid the Witches.

    I've know Eddie a long time, but it's overpriced and they allow smoking inside (upstairs, but it's inside).

    I avoid the log cabin cos it's closed.

    ^ I haven't been there in 5 years, the last time I was pretending to be Eddie's half brother (he was sitting next to me at the bar/time) and ended up shagging this absolute stunner...

    ^ I was quite drunk, so it's possible, but I doubt he would have accepted the cheap and shabby little guesthouse (almost opposite) that I stayed in that night; took some explaining to the female too, as she'd presumed, quite wrongly, that I was of the monied up variety. Class I am.

    ^ love is a beautiful thing; just to think, instead of the gay bars of Brighton she could have been strolling around South Wales...

    Other than I haven't lived there since before I met her, more likely the lanes of London or the boulevards of Bangkok.

    Jeez that was over 25 years ago
