Edward Abbott Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 Does anyone who used to drink at the bar complex in the title, know if the previous bars there (which are now gone and a Makro standing in their place) know if the previous owners moved to another area? I've been away for the past year and used to enjoy drinking there. Maybe they've all scattered to the four winds? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statman78 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 A number of the bars moved to an area near Sukhumvit Soi 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andycoops Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Some moved into the alley opposite, like one run by a friend of my wife's. I am unsure as to if any have survived though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbko Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Read the video description in this Youtube clip, it mentions the land owner wanting to sell/lease the property. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) Sure the Thais are much happier a Makro is there now. I certainly would be if living or working in the area.

London Boy Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 The new bar complex on Soi 7 (where a few of the bars have moved to) is a big improvement in my opinion 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeMagnet1 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Very sad that QPP closed, it was the last of what i thought of as the old ramshackle nightlife areas. Wonderful nights there pre covid with bars open toll 7am etc Bangkok is simply not the same without it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkok19 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Miss the QPP also... It was a "rebound" Bar area for a lot of 'Squaronians'.... especially the Moonshine. The closure of Washington Square was a bit of a progression towards QPP. First the part closed with the Texxan and Silver Dollar... the crowd then migrated to the P.O.W, Taffy's, B52, Easy Pub... then when they shut >>> to the QPP. Moonshine had the great food and sometimes free dinners on special occasions. Thanksgiving and Xmas dinners were packed. The B52 was good for an "intimate" evening of light relief, especially your wallet. Bundy and Popeye were fun bars but unpleasant after a while because they allowed smoking. The small bars scattered between the former QPP and Sukhumvit are quite enjoyable late afternoons. Also the Soi between 18 and 20. Is <deleted> 2 still open, anyone? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuff I buy is about half the price of some other shops, they don't sell booze though. Edited February 10, 2022 by clivebaxter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonshine is still around, they have moved to Soi 7, and they still have their annual Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Also several other bars have moved to Soi 7 from Queens Park.

Edward Abbott Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I actually live at Sukhumvit Soi 50 and for a few years there has been a complex of bars there opposite Tesco. Cheap Charlie's also moved there. These bars are a much better class of bars than QPP IMO. Well, in the sense that you don't have girls bugging you for drinks and the girls working there are not available for barfine if you do get tempted after a few beers. I drink there most days now.
