Soi Zero is no more

sukhumvit soi zero - along the railway tracks underneath the tollway

the bf ranged 200-300B for a lot of bars. And the girls were happy with 1k LT. Try doing that in Rainbow! The girls wont take that for a ST. Madness.

It wasnt often but you sometimes found a gem and then didnt tell your mates where you got her in case they went for her

I wonder if they will move to Suk plaza. God knows that place needs more life in it.

It's amazing how those bars survive.

Must be some heavy drinking TV'ers down soi 22.

This forum is new to me. I'm excited to look through the threads. I spent 3 months in Bangkok at ABAC doing an art residency with the L'alliance Francaise.
I went back to soi zero because i remembered it from years earlier when stayin just down suk soi 2 at the atlanta.
I thought I was doing some vaguely defined project about the men who stay there forever> I was naive perhaps.

The installation involved taking the graphics of the ubiquitous 7-Eleven and pretending that their new logo was mai penlai and stay forever.
Here are a few pics of the soi in 2004 on my flickr page. well back to the forum....!

Can't say it will really be missed, however I had a few nice, no pressure liquid afternoons in there over the years. It was a nice occasional change from the Nana BS.

Good idea, just east of the Klong Tooey market would be perfect. You could scare your friends by walking them in through the dark narrow walkways.

Aaah the rise of the middle class

harsh man, harsh!

it was a low pressure place where you could go and have fun, play pool ( in some bars ) but none of the you buy mee ladee drink bs in the gogos. ( but you knew you never ever ever wanted to have a shite in the place, the pissoir smelled waaaay too bad as it was )

just wish i had taken more photos when i had been there.

why is it you always think that after you leave or its been demolished

[zingerhk]

Where is the next Soi Zero? I hate going to the big-3 (Nana, Cowboy, Patpong) and would love to find a nice little area with some bars, and entertainment that is not so busy. Ideas??
