webfact Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Cheers! Beloved expat bar Cheap Charlie’s to reopen By Laurel Tuohy The rebuilding of the bar. Photo: Cheap Charlie’s Bar/Facebook A Facebook post made late last night on the page for Cheap Charlie’s Bar, the beloved alleyway watering hole frequented by Bangkok expats for over 30 years, indicates that the much-missed nightlife spot will re-open soon, after it sadly closed in April. The exciting post elicited a long string of people tagging their friends with the good news, as well as questions asking where and when the spot will reopen. Bar owner Ekkachai Budkajang is being tight-lipped with details so far, but the photo that accompanies the post shows that they are already rebuilding the actual bar, which indicates that the opening should not be too far off. It also appears that they are building the bar in a shipping container, which elicits all sorts of guesses. Could the new bar be inside one of Bangkok’s night markets, where many food and drink establishments are housed in the re-purposed containers?

Wiggy Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 That's not a shipping container. It is way too high and the metal looks too thin. Shipping containers are made of steel. Would be good if it reopened though. Some good memories there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cats4ever Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Cheap Charlies was a standout. Last time I went there it was packed and no room anywhere. Good for them; not for me. Social media????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
