Soi 3, who thought they would find such stuff there "Baraku" is a bastardization of "Burakumin" which is actually a name for a group of people, rather than a smoking apparatus. The "Burakumin" are an outcast sect/group in Japan who have historically been victims of discrimination and were/are generally regarded as 'untouchables'.

Taco Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Such a shame what happened to soi 3 and most importantly Bamboo Bar. Bamboo used to be one of my favorite places to go in Bangkok. Good pool tables, fun atmosphere and decent live music (the only live hip hop I knew of in bkk). Now I steer far clear of soi 3 unless I need to go to bumrungrad.
