Photo: Checkinn 99 / Facebook BANGKOK — Another piece of Bangkok history will bite the dust when a nightlife fixture of six decades shuts down July 2.Check Inn 99, which for 59 years has entertained guests in keeping with the changing times, will close its doors forever after being evicted in the name of commercial development.“It’s sad. It’s the only original Bangkok bar from the ‘50s,” said owner Chris Catto-Smith, who took over the bar in 2011 with his wife and business partner.

ggt Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 OMG...should be considered a historic site in Thailand and protected from demolition or looting...the DNA alone...collected in various areas of the club...should make it an international tourist attraction...the Japanese would pay good money for a fantasy tour there...

Agent Sumo Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 God almighty, anyone would think this place was Studio 54 or something It's a crappy, cheesy hole popular with cash-strapped foreigners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gchurch259 Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It may not have been all that great, but I enjoyed a visit there and the music from time to time. As far as "cash-strapped foreigners", what about the "Crows on the rails" along Soi 4, all day long, with Boom Boom in there ears !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckizuchinni Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I rather like it. The food is good, and it does evoke a sense of "Old Bangkok." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckizuchinni Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Like everything old,,,,,,,, it dies. RIP smelly hole Not everything. When I go to Vienna, the trip isn't complete until I go to the Marchfelderhof restaurant. I've been to the White Horse Tavern (1673), Zur Lezten Instanz (1621), and Honke Owariya (1425).

The manic Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 A great shame - A different place offering a techno free zone with jazz, moral and pop music. The new owners have made a great effort and it's a great pity it is closing. I'm very sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manic Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) God almighty, anyone would think this place was Studio 54 or something It's a crappy, cheesy hole popular with cash-strapped foreigners It was around a long time before studio 54 and cash strapped foreigners were never the customers there. Check Inn 99 was not just a part of history but an island of calm in the madness of the sukhumvit area. Edited June 26, 2016 by The manic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because he's a nasty person with nasty attitude. TV.com is full of them. It somehow makes them feel superior and above it all. Pathetic, really.

anotheruser Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I hope it is replaced by a McDonalds. True poetic justice for everybody that feels the need to say it is a hole. Better yet, another Hooters so the people spewing crap can not afford to eat there everyday. Was never a regular but what will come next, I am fairly certain will not be an improvement to the area.
