MrJohnson Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I have observed the gradual re-construction of The Bed Supperclub recently down near the end of Soi 13 as it turns west towards Soi 11. I can't imagine the traffic chaos it will create if is anywhere near as popular as its previous incarnation in Soi 11. Likewise, I would be mightily unhappy if I was living in one of the nearby condominiums as it will most likely be quite noisy. It also got me wondering about this new law which apparently restricts alcohol sales within a 300m distance from a school. The Wattana School (boarding in secondary) is a mere 50m away. Anyone able to shed any light on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kblaze Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 Its coming back as "Chi Ultralounge". As this article states, the only thing "Bed" related will be the round structure. Different owner, vibe, etc. In the article they said June opening, but that obviously didn't happen... http://bk.asia-city.com/nightlife/news/bed-supperclub-return-chi-ultralounge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJohnson Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Many thanks. Still glad I don't live nearby. Noise and traffic nightmare for residents I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall, I believe their lease ran out and they did say they would re-locate. Though, this is pretty close by. I'm a little surprised that clubs are still being built, as the last big mega club closed down where I live, since the younger generation now uses online dating and whatnot instead. This us just an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike324 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 These clubs mostly cater to westerners now, Thais have not been clubbing as much compare to 10 years ago, the younger generation prefer to head to bars and pubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true. Levels is mostly Thais. Funky Villa, Muse, Demo are almost exclusively Thai, as are the clubs in RCA. My younger expat friends do also go to those places but can more often be found in trendy little bars like <deleted>, Wish Beer etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My younger expat friends do also go to those places but can more often be found in trendy little bars like <deleted>, Wish Beer etc I beg to differ, Levels is mostly foreigners and the Thais you find there a lot are working ladies. Funky Villa, Muse, and Demo are almost 10 years old, yes this is where Thais go, just pointing out that younger generation don't party like the folks do 10 years ago - not saying they don't party. There are no new clubs that targets the Thais because there is very little demand nowadays. Younger generation (ones in college now) are used to pubs and bars with nice themes or interior, like the ones that line Thonglor and Ekamai.

Naroge Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Yep . . Soi 11 is still jam packed with nasty VW drink in the gutter vans? Haven't seen a VW in Soi 11 for over six months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Hill Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Many thanks. Still glad I don't live nearby. Noise and traffic nightmare for residents I'd say. Noise won't be a problem. They've spent a small fortune on state-of-the-art soundproofing. Bed Supperclub closed because no one wanted to pay 700-900 baht for tired old BSC when they could just go to glitzty,"upmarket" Levels across the street for free.
