KhunMhee Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 So in my small number of years Soi 4 went from Bikers in Black, they got booted out or such. Then it went to what it is now Arab street 2.0. I guess if we wait a few more years it will change again. Seems like the norm for a city such as this. Next might be the removal of the red light district and condos for everyone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Across Sukhumvit is the Arab area and they mostly seem to stick around there. Rarely do I see Arabs at Nana proper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranky Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Cracks me up saying that the foreigners are bringing in the crime when everyone knows you can't fart in Bangkok, let alone a hotspot like Soi 4 - Cowboy, without police permission. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norbert Halfwit Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 (edited) On 29/09/2017 at 11:36 AM, jimster said: Incidentally, I took some Chinese nationals who can't speak either Thai or English to Bangkok's Yaowarat but they couldn't find anyone who could speak Chinese! They were initially expecting everyone there to be able to speak Chinese, yet funnily enough it's at the Grand Palace where 90% of all foreign visitors are Chinese where one can find guards that can speak Chinese, as well as some street vendors. So I guess the comment from that guy about Chinese in Chinatown is not exactly very accurate. My understanding is the current generation of business owners and residents who are of ethnic Chinese extraction in Yaowarat are the descendants of actual Chinese people who migrated to the area but they themselves are so assimilated that they generally can't speak Chinese anymore. Those Chinese language signs one sees were generally erected by the Chinese speaking immigrants who moved to the area, but almost nobody today except for Chinese tourists and elderly ethnic Chinese who can still speak Chinese can read them. I'm not suprised they couldn't find anyone that spoke Chinese. There is no such language as Chinese.The major language in China is Mandarin, with Cantonese being the prominent language in the south and dozens of other languages spoken in different regions. It's like saying they speak Austrian in Austria or Canadian in Canada etc Edited April 27, 2018 by Norbert Halfwit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expatthailover Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Oh please when did nana ever look like Thailand. It came about to service the need of depraved foreigners and has never looked back. The foreigners it catered for were and remain predominantly white caucasians of a certain age. Crims catch on and they see opportunities eg drugs. That the faces are a different colour and the languages not just english is what irks many. Npt thailand anymore...give me a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
