B0nkers Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Not much of a drinker, but kinda want to go somewhere tonight. Thought maybe Zoe, but apaprently there is a thread here that says it's shut due to bouncers killing someone :/ Then it seems pretty much all the other popular areas had threads sayng they are dead or have horror stories. Came across a little street close by the hotel a couple days after I arrived, and I'm pretty sure I was the only foreigner there. One of the waitresses called me in, so I went and shared 2 bottles of coke with her... not really what she was hoping for, I'm sure... but I don't drink as sometimes I have a pretty harsh allergic reaction to some beers. She sat with me for about a 1/2 hour as they closed at 12, but kept getting up to talk with thai guys passing by on bikes. At the end of the night she translated to me on her phone 'he will fight back. come tomorrow'. <deleted> does that mean? Bad translation or did I pick a street of bars that was not foreigner friendly? Why the heck would she sit with me (and on me) for a glass of coke? I wasn't asking for it. So anyways... would it be a bad idea to go back there? I'd also like to find where the yourists hang out too. Would be nice to have a conversation with someone who speaks English, or thai ladies who speak enough to carry a basic conversation. Is there anywhere left that is still open and safe? Preferably inside the old town or on the north side. The cluster of bars and entertainment complex to the east side of the river look kinda far. Options?

terminatorchiangmai Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Maybe you should start telling which street you where in and what area. Next to the Top North hotel is a little boxing area which you enter trough something that looks like a small dead end street. Maybe she said he will fight tomorrow come back than. Zoe is open and if you not walk in with your coke from 7/11 there will be no problems. Closing time is 12:00 AM so you better hurry. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0nkers Posted October 9, 2015 Author Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) It was on this street (no name that I can find), by the Opium hotel Google map Just the idea of that sort of thing going on makes me want to stay away... live by the sword, die by the sword. I'm no stranger to drama, an that's why I prefer to steer clear of it. Any other suggestions than Zoe? I mean if Zoe is about as normal as it comes....then fine.

terminatorchiangmai Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Go to Nimanhemin Rd or Maya rooftop bars. Hope you found someone to spend your birthday with. Have a happy birthday. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
love2u Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 If you are looking for a girl, there is still some life in a couple of the bars at the top of Loi Khro Rd. near the moat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Loy Kroh Road first; Easy Corner bar has their annual anniversary party today. And then later the Zoe area; not sure if Zoe itself is open again but it doesn't matter; plenty other options there, many with live music, others with a small dance floor, etc. And lots of people. EDIT: oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited October 9, 2015 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Thanks guys. Do they still have boxing at Thapae Gate? Just ran across an blog on Google from 2010 I took a quick look in when driving past and noticed a whole lot of parked motorcycles again. So made a mental note to go check it out.. I've been checking it out about once a year for the past 15 years and so far it has reliably sucked. You never know though. Maybe they thought of something for Chinese tourists or something, I'll go take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks.. Also the mashed potatoes and stew/gravy are incredible, surprisingly.. Close to the moat end of Loy Kroh, look for the balloons.
