NewGuy Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I used to like the P&W on Soi 7, usually for the fish and homemade chips. When they switched to frozen potatoes it wasn’t the same. My girl, now wife, liked the place too. The owner died about 10 years back and we stopped going, partially because it was so well run and the skills to pull that off are rare. The branch on Tapraiya (sp) looks busy - must try it. Hope their chips are homemade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember going there when it first opened. The rooms were very popular early on, but I am told that they had the fairly common affliction of smelling of damp. An Indian guy seems to have taken it on and turned the back half into a curry place. Brave man, as has been mentioned those Sois between the beach and 2nd Rd have lost a lot of custom to Soi Buakhao. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to write a book about expats running businesses there, but soon realised it was going to cost me more than a book could possibly have made. Most books don't make money and mostly just serve as an ego-boost for the writer. Bob Adams ...... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kinyara Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I'm all for a bit of nostalgia but let's face it Soi 7 is totally dead outside of high season, has been for the last few years. Soi Buakow/LK Metro area is where it's at all year round. I think some guys come on their annual holiday at peak season and think it's like that all year round lol. Far from reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The demise of Soi 7 is much exaggerated IMO. So if beer prices under 65 baht can't attract customers, what can? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a couple of bars down the beach end of the soi with katoeys. They really need their own soi, a bit like the Boyz Town area. I suppose a new katoey bar opening up next to your own bar would not be good for your business, especially in the bar complexes where it can be difficult to know which girl works in what bar because they are a close together and not separated by a wall.

The owner has posted a video which will give you a good idea what Soi 7 is currently like. A slightly more extreme version of what it's looked like over the last few low seasons, slowly but surely dying in its present format, the customers have moved across 2nd road to Buakow./LK Metro as even the owner admits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
