Bash Sukhumvit 11

[HardenedSoul]

Went here on Friday night. Outstanding

1st and 2nd floor - House music

3rd floor - Classic hip hop and R'n'B

Open until 6am

Run by the same people who brought you Tunnel on Lang Suan Soi 5

Great atmosphere and, better still, none of the commercial tripe served up by the Thai DJs at almost every after-hours club in the Sukhumvit ghetto.

NO Pitbull, NO Adele, NO Black Eyed Peas, NO Katy Perry, NO Lady Gaga and definitely NO Gangnam Style.

Sounds great.

Any dress code required or anything goes except for shorts/flipflops etc.

[HardenedSoul]

No dress code as such but, for sure, no shorts, singlets or flip-flops

Here's a youtube video of the opening night.

No midgets on normal nights

Great news. Bedsupper should allow the flipflops now... ;-) The OP touched my curiosity.

What is the cover charge?

Is it full of money-hungry bar girls like Club Climax on Soi 11, or are these "good" girls?

LOL I almost always wear flip flops everywhere,.... Never wore them back in the states but here they are comfortable and convenient, especially when it rains

Cover is 300 baht with 2 free drinks. There are a number of freelancers for sure but, as you know, you'll find those at any club where there are lots of foreigners. There are quite a few non-hookers too, though.

Perhaps but you won't be saying that with the weight of a 55kg woman focused through a square centimetre puncturing your pinkie toe.

2 new clubs on 11 this year. the soi has changed in the 12= years i have lived there, that is for sure.

Looks like Hell....

haha, that's daryl's trademark. Garish runs in his veins, remember mystique?

It occupies the 3 floors above the Australian bar halfway down the soi.

Full of hot thai ladies- if they meet a young handsome falang man they will tell him they work in an office/salon are looking for a boyfriend; the same lady will tell an older sexpat that they are available for one night for a price. The sexpat gets his leg over, the young handsome falang man into music and the club vibe gets to think that he is meeting 'real thai girls', the lady gets a shot at romance or cash- everyone's happy

[tinfoilhat]

was there the other night,

not too shabby, good energy.

Was a big fan of Tunnel on Lang Suan back in the days before it got shut down (obviously)

What was the story behind its demise?

How does Bash compare to Tunnel?

Funny - saw the title, and thought it may be a thread on posting derogatory things about Soi 11...

Funny you should ask about Tunnel. I think it got closed down because they were inconsistent with their tea money contributions.

I actually thought that Bash would be a spiritual successor to Tunnel given a couple of the guys behind the latter are involved at the new venture but, sadly, this is not the case.

The vibe is completely different compared to Tunnel. Lots of lights, visual projections and fog machines versus Tunnel's underground, almost shebeen-like feel.

Tunnel was much better.

[tinfoilhat]

Agreed, tunnel was much more minimal, musically as well as visually.

Sound system at Bash struck me as a bit shrill, in need of balancing. Still very different from the bed or qbar vibe

All said it is closer to Mystique than the tunnel, but that is not entirely a bad thing.

A lot of people sadly believe the 'I am an office girl' lie.

Okay, okay, okay....

Club Climax is what it is. To its credit, it is occupied by BGs and / or freelancers.

I have never come across a "ladyboy" there...

Have you?

No, I haven't because I have never been there

But it wouldn't be unusual if there are at least a few ladyboys there on a given night.

For me, my late-night hangings-out are pretty much behind me. Nowadays I start early and head back home usually by 2.
