Nana.... A terrible place to live

Not everyone is dominated by negativity like you.

 

Not everything is negative, I'm glad to be a single, white female (with a pension).

Which, if I were counting, adds to 3 more positives in my life than yours.

Some would say that just means you should have a pressing appointment with a balcony shortly

 Sorry but weren't you the odd little fellow who (in another thread) regarded his ability to produce a teaspoon of semen as one of his life's achievements?

 

Can white women do that, then?

You tell us you haven't even managed that!

Have I? Yes

I used to live just off Suk 38 down a little side soi past the street stalls. Only woman that was happy to see me was the big fat dog that  lives by the church. Often used to stop and have a chat with the old girl after a few beers. I used to struggle to get up more than the dog did some evenings.

Not a massage place in sight, just a pair of slobbering lips. 

No matron, stop it.

I are.... you sure about that?

Terrible place to live? Not for me, I lived in the Omni towers for 2 years when I was working in BKK. I knew the motocy drivers, the dry cleaners, the fruit vendors, bar and restaurant owners and their expat following, I thought it was great and when I would walk home from the BTS every night after my long day I felt like I was in a David Lynch movie or at least my own version of Blade Runner as I made my way down the Soi to my spacious apartment high above it all.

 

But what I loved most and what I tell all those whom would ask me what I thought of it was this, ,....

 

It's the only place I ever lived where you could decide between pussy and pizza and you can get the pussy faster!

 

Peace out

 

A wonderful post.

 

I don't live in Nana, but I've definitely seen it in very cinematic ways too.

Yeah, me too... The movie I had in mind all the time was "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" because there are always so many falangs on that soi whose grip on reality was already lost years ago, and would probably be arrested immediately if they returned to their home country. Then again, your avatar picture is of Hunter S. Thompson, so I guess reality is not a concept you're very familiar with.

[F4UCorsair]

I've been staying in hotels along Sukhumvit for 20+ years, not any actually in Nana, but spent a lot of time in the general area, and only infrequently have I felt badgered.

I do find the conduct of many old western men with very young Thai girls/women offensive, but it's not my thing so I just let it go.

Maybe it has something to do with the way you carry yourself?  Walk with purpose and confidence and perhaps you'll be bothered less frequently.  If you stroll, looking like you're window shopping for a suit, or a girl (as you're entitled to do without being badgered, of course), you may well be a target?

Welcome to TV.com  cliffspab. Oh wait a minute,.. this isn't TV.com at all! You made it to Thaivenom or maybe Thaivitriol.com .So what happens here, is the Thainess's of the cyber world comment on your post in a vexacious, judgemental, mean spirited, and superior sort of way.

 

Old men arrested in their home country, slipping grip on reality,...Really??

 

Good thing his comments were in a cinematic way and I hope in the future, " His Thainess" will leave real commentary and op/ed writing for somebody who has a talent for it. Just my opinion, I dont mean it personally but it probably will be taken as such.

 

The Thainess avatar picture is blank and empty, correct? So by his truly accurate method of equating the mental state of a fellow and new TV forum member, I'm inclined to say that his observations and dribble about you personally are as blank and empty as the non picture in the avatar.

 

Just saying,...

I've lurked here a long time, and know the kind of responses even the most innocuous (and positive, I thought) posts can elicit.

 

Cheers for proving that not everyone here is as bitter as his Thainess may lead one to believe.

I know Nana area since 1967!

For me ,this place is full of life and colours!

If you dont like it,please stay at home  and dont come here...but respect people who dont think like you....

Is the german beer garden in Soi 7 still there. A haven for available women and no bar fine

I nip along every once in a while to remind myself how much better areas are around.

It's fun for a couple of hours.

It's worth nipping into once every three months to remind yourself just how horrible it is. When you've recovered 3 months later, try it again - just to reinforce your opinion.

For example living on ramkhamheang I never even once experienced a taxi driver that won't take me to a destination, let alone not turning on the meter.

human greed..this happens all over the world not only thailand.

[anotheruser]

I would rather live in Nana than virtually 90% of places in Thailand. At least it has access to the BTS and worthwhile places to go. It is nicer than Chong Mek.

I always stay around Nana when in BKK, its well connected transport wise, great food, colourful and fun.

 

not really paid attention to the 'other' nightlife around there even though i know it exists, a place is what you make of it. there is good and bad everywhere.

One of the sleeziest places on earth, for sure. 

 

So what are the negatives?

 

[JerryinTH]

It's certainly an alternative to the crowd on Soi 55. Wouldn't really mind the change to be honest. As others pointed out, the place is somewhat surreal and I wouldn't mind driving down the soi - actually prefer walking - every morning/night for a while. 

Some good entertainment on the road but the lack of a proper condo like Quattro by Sansiri or anything like that, would make it impossible for me to live there. 

Not holding my nose up high, but I could never stay in Omni Tower from the pictures I have seen. OId german style wood furniture, everything looks like its 20y old. Sorry not for me. Would depress me. If there was a brand spanking new building, id check it out in a heartbeat. 

Only in my 30's, so I can't really live in a place that looks like my grandma's home with a mattress that has more DNA than any sperm bank in Bangkok.

The German Beer Garden is still there.

I was in Bumrungrad recently for a minor procedure.  I was in the recovery room with my bed right against the window. As I was coming round I was looking out  at the view. I wasn't entirely sure what direction I was facing at first (still a bit groggy)  but I  noticed one soi that from, where I was, looked quite attractive. It was wide and fairly green and I could see it led to some sort of park.  I wondered what it was, then I saw the sign  for the Nana Hotel and realized  I was looking straight down soi 4 from top to bottom.  

    It must once have been quite a pretty soi and with the park opening down the bottom I suspect the end of the soi will be transformed over the next few years.

    I agree the Omni is a dump, a friend of mine lived in there 8/9 years ago and it was a pit then goodness knows what it is like now. There are a couple of decent condos on soi 2  and  that links to the lower part of soi 4 so one would still  be able to get to the park.

Soi Nana is probably a little more sedate than Soi Cowboy.
