July 27, 201114 yr Hello everyone. Some more questions came to mind. I was wondering if there are any other bar areas that don't have bar girls, as my family might visit in the near future, and I don't really want them to see all the bar girl scene. I was thinking just 'normal' bars not too far from the town itself. Are there any recommended places with a nice ambience, perhaps near the beach or even some hotel bars would be OK. They'll also do all the usual touristy stuff so I need to give them some pointers on that as well. Seems like there's quite a few local resources so it shouldn't be too hard I hope. I've been told that soi 80 has a few bars - are these 'girly bars' or not? a friend seemed to think they were.. Many thanks.
July 27, 201114 yr Hi there. Soi 80 bars are more of the bar girl variety, and there's a few more respectable bars there too - it's no more than 5 mins walk away from town (10 if you walk slowly), but if it's respectable places you want, go to the Palm Bistro restaurant and bar - maybe hard to find but just take a tuk tuk...one of the nicest places I've been to recently. Closer to town, try any of the hotels near the beach, or on Naebkehardt road there's a good selection of restaurants where you can sit and drink outside. Oh, I nearly forgot, there's a nice bar in Soi Kanjanomai opposite Prime Steakhouse - have forgotten the name but you can't miss it. If you come into the street from either end you can easily avoid all the girly bars. Cheers.
