The last two times I went there it was completely dead, both times were thurs/Friday night. I can't say I thought much to the music either. Still looks nice inside though.

Was there last Saturday (well, I was in NARZ which I think is the same place?).... it has three bars and two were very quiet, but the Hip Hop bar was buzzing and a had a good, friendly crowd of mainly Thai but with quite a few foreigners mixed in. Music was wider than just hip hop - mostly western with only a few Thai songs. Age range looks about 18 to 35 .... I was probably the oldest geezer there but still had a good night.

Nicely fitted out, decent drink prices, easy to get a taxi despite off Sukhumvit location.

Good place in my view ... but only on the peak Friday/Saturday nights from around midnight. I bet it's much too quiet for such a big place on other nights.

"Decent drink prices"?? More like ridiculous drink prices. Although it's one of the few places that stays open till the sun comes up.

I do hate that on New Year's Eve they decided to confiscate water bottles at the door so you'd have to buy their stupidly over-priced water... doesn't really encourage responsible drinking.

I wandered in there once with a friend a week ago or so. I forget the night but it was really just dead. Some randoms walking about aimlessly. Music was terrible. A small handful of average-looking ladies dancing in front of the DJ booth, either friends with or trying to get the attention of the 2nd worst DJ in Bangkok (Insomnia's DJ will take some beating there).

Cheap drinks though, for sure. Not sure what the fellow above is saying. I can't remember prices but my friend and I both were surprised at the low prices, I remember that.

As they say in the Seychelles - dead as a dodo and not a Portuguese in sight! (if you know your history).

I've been to the Seychelles and I get the dodo reference. I don't get the Portuguese part at all but shall Google it...

I was back there on Friday .... Hip Hop bar busy from 1:00 a.m and very busy from 3:00 a.m ... good crowd .... other bars empty. Also looked at the drink prices properly this time ... 150 THB for a beer.

But yes - the DJ sucks .... he keeps turning and music off and shouting; "put your hands in the air .... put your hands in the air ..... put your hands in the air ... " and he doesn't even notice that everyone has stopped dancing and is looking at the him waiting for him to stop messing about and play some tunes.

Still worth a trip if you go after 1:00 am and can tolerate the DJ ..... decent-ish music when he stops gabbing and a fun crowd.

Terrible for someone who spends lots of money building an establishment that sells drinks not too let the clientèle bring their own, those pesky Thais!

If you know your natural history you would know that the Dodo once lived on the island of Mauritius.

And if you know your geography you would know that the island of Mauritius lies about 2000 km south of the Seychelles.

Now about those Portugese, or do you mean Dutch?

Actually, that's one reason I don't like it there. The music is good, but the DJ is crap - always shouting over the music, and only playing a song for about 15-30 seconds before changing.

I like the music in the top area. No one else seems to though. :ermm: It's always empty.

I really like it there, the Trance/Techno room downstairs is great, with all raised levels you can stand on to dance to.

2 weeks ago on Sat it was quite busy, but last Sat it got closed down early by the police. Judging by the amount of people in the car park though, it looked like it had been pretty rammed.

But yes, I agree about the drinks prices, way too steep - 200 baht for Bacardi Breezer?!?!

As a frequent patron + "member" of Narz (downstairs) I can say it's full of people most weekends. It helps to check if an event is happening, but more often than I not I rock up on a fri or sat and find it more than half full. Downstairs music wise its electro/trance and the djs are either playing "classic" trance (the dj who has been there for years despite renovations) or if another then can be very up to date- one guy was mixing Oliver Smith + dinka tracks before they were officially released.

      Why are many people so partisan?

      You really have fallen down that rabbit hole. So anyone who thinks Trump is a criminal or that Musk is authoritarian is a leftist? That’s a tired old trope propagated by MAGA morons. Has it ever crossed your mind that people on the political right don’t care for them either?

      Shuttle Bus Crash at Phu Phek Temple Leaves One Dead, 25 Injured

      An electric shuttle bus crash occurred at approximately 14.50 on November 15, on the descent from Phu Phek Temple in Na Hua Bo Subdistrict, Phanna Nikhom District, Sakon Nakhon Province. Reports indicate that the shuttle bus driver lost control and veered off the road, resulting in numerous injuries and one fatality. Emergency responders, including two Advanced Life Support (ALS) teams from Phra Ajarn Fan Hospital, Na Hua Bo Subdistrict rescuers, and the Rattana Foundation, promptly arrived at the scene to assist the victims. Rescuers on arrival found that 25 individuals had sustained injuries of varying severity, while a 16-year-old girl, identified as Miss Suthida Chiwato from Na Dee Village, tragically lost her life at the scene. The crash occurred as the shuttle bus, carrying a group of temple visitors, descended from Phu Phek Temple following a large religious ceremony, the “Maha Sangkhatan Merit-Making Event.” The temple is situated on a steep and winding mountainside, which presents significant challenges for vehicles. Eyewitnesses reported that the shuttle bus was overloaded, with passengers standing due to limited seating capacity. As the vehicle navigated the steep descent, it gained excessive speed. Despite the driver’s attempts to brake, he lost control and plunged approximately 15 metres off the road. The vehicle’s front section sustained most of the damage. Emergency services transported the injured to Phanna Nikhom Hospital, with critically injured victims referred to Sakon Nakhon Provincial Hospital for treatment. Local authorities and event organisers are working to determine the precise cause of the accident and ensure that safety measures are enhanced for future events. Investigations believe that the overcrowding of the bus, combined with the steep and narrow descent, may have been contributing factors. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-16

      Thai police ‘tweet’ out arrests in illegal bird trade bust

      Thai police have swooped on a major illegal bird trade operation in southern Thailand, arresting two people involved in selling protected Bulbul birds via Facebook. The suspects admitted to selling thousands of birds over the past year. Police officers from the Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Suppression Division conducted raids on the homes of two individuals, known by their Facebook aliases as Mee Tha Kham and Ice Nok Ble. These raids took place yesterday in Surat Thani province, leading to the arrest of 48 year old Chinoros, who had been operating a significant illegal bird trade in the region. Chinoros had been using his Facebook account to advertise the sale of the protected Bulbul birds, which were sent to buyers across southern Thailand. Police, upon discovering Chinoros’s activities, sought and obtained a search warrant from the court. During the raid, police discovered and confiscated ten Bulbul birds from his property. Chinoros confessed to purchasing the birds and keeping them at his residence before selling them to customers throughout the region. He acknowledged using Facebook to reach his large following, which had amassed several thousand followers over the past year. He admitted to having sold over a thousand birds during this period. Chinoros explained that the gun seen in photographs on his Facebook profile belonged to a friend named Nueng. Law enforcement plans to track down this individual for further investigation. In a related operation, police also raided the home of another suspect, 29 year old Kaysit, known on Facebook as Ice Nok Boen. Surrounding his residence, officers found numerous bird cages, some of which contained Bulbul birds. A total of 17 Bulbul birds were found, none of which had the required possession permits. Kaysit admitted to purchasing these birds to resell them to customers throughout southern Thailand. He stated that he had sold thousands of birds, with prices ranging from 500 to 3,000 baht (US$15 to 85) each. Most of the birds he acquired were bought from third parties, and police are continuing their efforts to trace the origins of these transactions, reported KhaoSod. The police have charged both Chinoros and Kaysit with possession of protected wildlife without a permit, an offence under the Wildlife Preservation and Protection Act of 2019. The suspects are now in police custody at Mueang Surat Thani Police Station, where they await further legal proceedings. by Bright Choomanee Picture courtesy of KhaoSod Source: The Thaiger -- 2024-11-16
