Unless of course you are being curmudgeonly and teenager encompasses everyone under 30. 

 

Khao san will soldier on, it does have a local customer base, and eventually borders will open. The question is which businesses will be left standing.

you didn't hear?  28 is the new 17.  IOW, today's 28 year old is mostly involved in doing things Baby Boomers did, when they were 17.  Drinking sloppy drinks out of a bucket would be a good example, but usually it refers to them living in the sunroom  of grandma's double-wide.

Here's the winner from last night. Yes multiple straws so good, I used all 4 myself. Of course the table next to me had 6 ladies all sharing the same drink. So tell me now that they are not supposed to do this...oh wait

Quite a lot of 30 /40/50 + people come to Thailand and reenact their teenage years , or usually, go through their "teenage" years that they missed out on when they were actually of that age

It goes without saying that because of the daily No Domestic Covid cases being espoused by this Government, many, and I mean many are not taking this seriously anymore and complacency has crept back in.  Today I headed out to Patpong for lunch and the 2nd Soi PatPong2 was packed with folks sharing lunch and drinks, until the rain rolled in, then it was deep inside they went and were grouped in like sardines in a can without masks on either.  Glad I was at a Japanese place where I could watch the herd of people grouping up, at least the GF and I were socially distanced sitting crisscrossed from each other.  It is good to see some places take it seriously.

The irony will be when those saying "partypooper" and drinking like sloppy pigs are the cause of (another) ban on alcohol.  A ban on public drinking could easily be the next sandal to drop on the party scene, and that would hurt a lot of people economically.

bucket contains a spirit/mixer/ice... tip it all in the bucket and drink through straws with friends.

KSR?  Any clues?

Khao San Rd. Most that have been tourists in LOS know that. It used to be really famous as THE destination for bagpackers when arriving in LOS. There they had cheap lodgings, expensive tourist junk and clothing ( fisherman pants anyone? ), and could spend their days bragging about all the places they'd been while watching VDOs in the many bar/ restaurants while eating banana pancakes. It also had loads of travel agents to sell bus tickets to the islands on the thief special private buses that preyed on the naive that left their money and passports in bags stowed in baggage compartments where the crooks could spend hours breaking open bags and stealing everything valuable.

Buckets! Buckets are an essential part of any bagpacker's "bucket list" to tell their friends back home. "I went to KSR and drank buckets, then I went to the FMP and drank buckets. It was so cool".

 

KSR had it's day soon as the Bkk trendies moved in. It didn't even have cheap accommodation left before Corona.

If it vanished it wouldn't be missed by most.

Good one. It's got so bonkers now that people that sleep together, in the same bed, without wearing a mask, have to distance when out in public.

Pathetic.

I must be different to most then. I had no desire when 30/40/50 to drink buckets while dancing to horrid noise and painting myself with glow in the dark, followed by unprotected sex with anyone handy. BTW, I also knew what sex I was.

You are right about the "music.". It is almost unbearable outside and down the street.  As bad as I have ever heard, anywhere.

[sharksy]

I used to like this area for the live music.  Not so great when completing with another band next door though ????

I'm older than most of the patronage, but still enjoyed it unique vibe.  And fantastic Pad Thai for only 50bt, price being a novelty too.
