Soi LK Metro is actually quite an intriguing little street. Walking/driving along it daily tends towards often ignoring the multiplicity of businesses there. In the short distance between Soi Boukhao and Soi Diana there is an amazing array on offer:
bar of all sorts - sports bars, coyote bars, go-go bars, a bj bar and a 'pleasure park', air-conditioned and open-air; all offering a decent range of local and imported drinks to suit all tastes.
For example, in the Metro we sell not only a range of beers and spirits but also a range of ciders: Bulmers, Blackthorn, Magners, Strongbow and on occasions Olde English. As you would expect, while each place has its own type of music on offer it tends to be eclectic enough to please most people.
There are several travel agencies and a visa shop specialising on visas to UK and Ireland as well as assisting with visa issues here in Thailand.
There are several beauty shops and hairdressers and a massage salon. Additionally there are numerous laundry places and a motorbike rental.
When it comes to food there is a choice of pizza and pasta, international reliables like burgers, steaks, chips, sausages and the sort of food you'd get in a transport cafe. Several places sell Thai food and other Asian food like satay and curry.
There's even a real estate agency for those thinking about buying a place here.
While there are quite a lot of English and Irish run places, there are quite a lot of other nationalities represented too: Italian, Scottish, French, Danish, Belgian, Swedish, Australian and American.
At one end of the soi there is a convenience store if the smaller one in the street doesn't have what you want.
Finally, there are lots of places offering rooms at varying rates - but good value for money. Some with DVDs included in the room rate and a DVD library to select your viewing from. In addition to the standard fare from Sophon cable in the rooms and Truevisons in the bar, at Metro we offer an additional choice of eight sports channels in the bar which regularly cover cricket, rugby, golf, rallying, AFL and a whole host of football matches from around the globe as well as F1, A1, MotoGP, GP2 and a range of bike racing, cycling, athletics and so on.
Nearly every bar has a pool table and some, like ourselves, have several.
Added to that is the fact that the soi does not get a lot of through traffic and is, therefore, as many of you know a pleasant place to sit, chill out and watch the world go by with your friends.
