"Where do Americans hang out in Bangkok? "

Is this a riddle? I give up, where?

[jdinasia]

Why would americans hang out anywhere as a group? In fact, there are usually a large nuber of non-americans at the 4th of July event each year in BKK.

I lived in BKK for years and b=never strived to either hangout with nor avoid fellow americans. My friends were about the same ... though some obviously needed more English language social contact than I did.

In my experience, Americans traveling abroad generally do not strive to congregate together. If I wanted to spend all my time hanging around a bunch of Americans, I would have stayed home. I'm nearly always happy to meet and greet another American, but I don't feel any special need to seek out groups or meeting places. I think a lot of travelers from the States share similar feelings and just tend not to congregate as much as some other nationalities - plus us Yanks seem to be one of the minorities among expats and tourists in LOS, so not as much incidental grouping either. I would look for places that show American football or other US-based sports, probably your best bet.

Speaking as an American -- who cares?

Some of my favorite people are Americans and I have nothing against them in general --I don't seek them but I certainly don't avoid them -- but I could say precisely the same thing about a number of nationalities; I can't relate to travelling halfway around the world and then making an effort to seek out the same nationals that you just left (and as fad as I know, apparently most Americans can't relate to that either as I'm not aware of any place where they go to congregate).

EDIT TO ADD:

Oops! Previous poster said it already and more completely.

Washington Square, Sukhumvit Soi 22, used to be, and probably still is a hang out for Americans. Particularly the Silver Dollar, Texxan and Burbon Street restrauant.

The bar attached to The Nana Hotel, on the street, across from Nana Plaza. Golden.........(something or another).

Have had conversations with many a cranky-yank there.

US Embassy.

The best answer so far.

We are found in all the usual spots. Nana, Soi Cowboy, Walking street, and everywhere in between.
