Gonzo the Face Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Have a poster on my office wall, where its been for better than 10 or more years now. Its a poster for the old Simon's Dream Cabaret. Had a guest come in yesterday and ask about it. Of course its been closed for a good number of years now, and some of my memory cells are also apparently closed as well. Can any of our old timers out there recall when Simon's Dream opened or when it closed ? This guest would like to hear a little more about it. My old mind would appreciate any help with it , at all. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramrod711 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Just a wild guess but I think it's been closed for at least eight years. Seems to me that it closed before Tops took over from Rim Ping nearby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The above review of Simon Cabaret Chiangmai is from 2006, thus the two have for a long time existed concurrently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So for some years they had cabarets in 2 cities. When the CM-operation closed they had signs outside the premises that said: "Moving to Phuket".

He did an entire hour with famous chef Any Ricker and both did a lot of drinking. Bourdain got kissed by one of the ugliest ladyboys ever. It turns out that it was a couple years earlier than I thought. Here is a youtube excerpt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjxPMa4tu0c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
