Anybody Live Near Unico Golf Course/Know Bars In The Area?

[S1MON]

I have recently moved to this area with my family and would like to know if anybody else lives locally, i used to live in Suk Soi77 and drink around there most days but it is a huge hassle to get there and back.

Anybody have ideas for where i can meet other farangs close by?

Cheers

Oh well, looks like i will hit Sukhumvit again, the problem is that is is about 130 baht to onnut, followed by BTS to Nana, and on the way home i get lost.

In your first post you talked about drinking in the SK 77 area, the second post talks about drinking in the Nana area.

As I remember it Soi Nana is SK 4, thats a whole world of difference to SK 77. I reckon your travel costs will be more than halved if you continue to frequent SK 77.

Travel costs are not the problem, its only 30 baht from Onnut to Nana, time and distance are the issues, probably 30 minutes to Onnut and only another 10 on the sky train to Nana, so no way would i stay in that area when i enjoy Nana area so much more, hence i am looking for options around where my new place is.

Not just his travel costs, his bar costs and entertainment costs as well.

The only 2 farang style places I know of out that way are the Blue Parrot up on Ramkhamhaeng 164? and another place over by Seacon Square.

Dont know why he is getting a taxi to On Nut, he lives close to Pra ram 9, just get on that and head for Sukhumvit, turn left at Asoke and he is about 5 minutes from Soi Cowboy, taxi fare should be about the same.

Dont understand why someone who go to a farang ghetto and pay rip off prices when there are plenty of Thai style places out in the area the OP mentions.

He wont be called a hansum man, but then again he wont hear such bar girl talk as ting tong, cheap charlie or kee niaow.

There is a beer garden outside the Mall Bang Kapi right now, just round the corner from the OP.

It would be easier to take the Airport link to Makarsan, the MRT to Asoke.

I thank you for your post, just to answer some of your questions, we have just moved to here and i do not really know much about the place, i do know the Nana area, so that is where i headed to the one time i did go out, not so sure on the route so i took the one i knew for sure, hence Onnut BTS.

The Thai places you talk of, i am sure i could walk out the gate here and find one but pretty sure i could not communicate with anyone there so i am trying to find out if there are any places around here that i could find other like minded people to talk to.

Would i find farang people to talk to at the Mall at Bang Kapi??? i would seriously head there in the next 30 minutes if you were to say yes(please dont just say yes for me to look stupid).

Cheers for your info, off to look up this blue parrot now.

In an earlier comment you said the "problem is the cost". Please be consistent.

Please quote where i said the problem was cost, i say it is 130 baht, by this i am meaning that i am spending a lot of time in the taxi, at no point do i say the money is the issue.

There is a German Restaurant called “Alles Gute” on the left as you drive to Pattanakarn Road through Moo Ban Muang Thong 3 – that’s a short-cut to Pattanakarn from the Chonburi Expressway - the opposite side from where you are.

It’s not exactly a Bar but it sells drinks to patrons sitting at the Counter or outside – I have no idea what the food is like however!

The owner organises some Golf outings so I guess he must have a number of Farang regulars.

There is also a large outdoor Football complex on Pattanakarn Road near the Suan Luang District Office – just turn left on Pattanakarn from the short-cut mentioned above.

The complex has a number of Bars and Restaurants and I have seen Farang children playing Football there so their parents probably use these facilities.

Of course you might also try the Golf Clubhouses at Unico and Krungthep Kreeta Golf courses.

If you just moved here with your family why are you looking for bars again?
