[YanG85]

great list bro... perhaps can add places of interest 2...

[benzdbest]

let me add some to the clubbing list.

Ratachada: Hollywood, Pump Up, Dance Fever, Inch bar

Ekamai: Nunglen, Muse, Curve, Jet, Santika(closed down.sighs.)

Thonglor: Song Saleung

Sukhumvit: Modjos, Bed Supper Club, Q bar, toxic bar, titanium(thailand's eski-bar!)

After hour (open till late): Snoop club, spicy club, tunnel

For house and trance lovers try Flix at RCA or Inch.

For the classy people try song saleung, thai live band and r&b. One of the most expensive places around, but this is expected as models, actors and actresses frequent this place alot.

Silom: V9 at sofitel, and of cuz sirocco

I'd prefer V9 to sirocco due to the pricing, but ambience and view wise I believe that sirocco has the edge, but there's still some fight between both of them. $200-$300 bucks for dinner at sirocco for 2 people. LOL.

[CrackBerry]

between tK and somboon seafood, any comments?
http://www.somboonseafood.com/e-branches.html

[durkheimian]

massage: Wat Pho

Food of Interest: Noodle Soup, Orange juice, Somtam, Pig trotter, Phad Thai, Tom Yam, Dogsh!t (for bring back sg)

[benzdbest]

somboon is quite good. though they earn from each visit but i still believe that is quite worth while to visit. when you compare soi 24 seafood restaurant with somboon i believe that somboon is better. all the best people!!

[kooniang]

Happy New Year!

[benzdbest]

[HoldenCaufield]

dude you have to go khao san road to get dreadlocks or braid your hair. they are like all over the place.

i did my back: http://www.picable.com/World/Continents/Asia/Braids.569995

it's damn painful though. but don't show it. or else the girl will laugh at you.

[benzdbest]

go khao shan make singapore IC at 1000baht or passport at 10,000baht. Do this at your own risk. cuz you'd go to jail for fraud.


PS. I'm not encouraging, I'm just sharing what I saw there. LOL.

but there was once(a long time ago) where I made a California Driving license to enter the clubs there though. :)

[benzdbest]

it looked quite real but now cant fight cuz the ICs are so different with the mini holographic picture of yourself. but can compare with the old ones.
