Unfortunately although I was aware of Buckskin Joe's I never got there. Have been to the Soi 8 place a few times but due to health problems not recently. Thanks for the info.

Do they warm it up in the wave for you too.

They will put absolutely anything in the Wabe for you in Sebb-Benn in Thailand. Not in Jay-Pan though.

The demise of girly bars throughout Thailand has been caused by the incessant need by the bar girls to use their mobile phones . Never had that years ago .  Only seem really interested in capturing customers to drink in their bar and to get bought a lady drink at high prices . Also far to many lady boys .

Nana Plaza is a sh*t hole, why would anyone care what the best bar is.

because there is a sad, lingering demographic out there that are trying to keep the memory of a long-gone Thailand alive. 

Still drink in the Soi occasionally (Chequers, Bus Stop and still mourning Jools) many years since I've been in the Plaza but I like to see that it's there.

Sorry to see Jimn's comment but madone has a good point.

And here's me thinking that the women and the businesses had become so incredibly mercenary that it is impossible to sit down in a beer bar without getting rinsed for lady drinks that are 3 to 4x more expensive than your beer.

I had my best Sukhumvit Road experience in After Work, in Sukhumvit Square, but when I went back, it had gone - Sukhumvit Square.  That caused me to build up a resentment against men with sledgehammers, though as one such myself, that is perhaps hypocritical.

 

As you may recall, back in the day, there was a DIY shop just down from Piccadilly Station, and I'd popped in there as I had some fencing to do at the weekend.  They didn't have epees or rapiers, but a sledgehammer was more appropriate for the fencing I had n mind. 

 

It's interesting that you only notice the gaps and errors in your recollection when you put your story to words...

 

I guess I went to Picadilly platfoms 13 & 14 on the way home, and not Oxford Road (that was the gaffer tape and batteries incident....) anyway, as I came down the stairs with my newly-bought sledgehammer, there was an announcement about train delays, and someone next to me looked at the sledgehammer and said "Calm down, mate, its not that bad!"

I like bars with contra-rotating carousels.
I never got into the mechanical bulls.
