I called by Legends Sports Bar which is just off Soi 33 on Thursday evening. It used to be owned by Phil from TSBA but is now run by Keith. Anyway, neither were about so I had a few jars and went off.
Venue number 2 was Napoleon Club and although they had a happy hour - there wasn't a soul in it except for me. I am not overly surprised as I had read elsewhere about rising prices in this area. Fact: beer 100 Baht in happy hour and then 160. Spirits about the same. B/F a whopping 1,700!! No wonder it was empty.
Following this I called by Powelley's which is a single unit on the right as you head towards Sukhumvit - roughly opposite Renoir. The place was actually doing ok which is not surprising as Steve is a nice bloke with a friendly word for all.
At this point I called it an (early) night and headed for my pit only to be stalked and followed by some short-of-funds ladyboy! With a few stern words I did manage to shake / scare him off and retired to my room to contemplate the evening. From a soi with some good. clean bars in it, the soi has now become much too pricey unless the rest of your trip is on the company's tab!
