Soi Twilights Banana Bar to close March 29th

Alzheimers kicking in already? I imagine with your propensity to fabricate you’ll claim it’s the “early onset” variant

Just like you with your talent to fabricate your trips to Thailand and Pattaya

Meanwhile -- any news on either of the Banana Bars?

So unfortunately all the various rumours are starting to come sadly true as the ever popular Banana Bar in Soi Twilight have just posted that they (must) close and are having a End of an Era party on March 29th - and in their own words they didn't expect to have to go just this soon but apparently baht talks in Bkk ! :-( Will be a sad loss as I know I and I'm sure many of the rest of us had many a good night there....... :-(

We had a good time there when we visited late last year. The Australian co-owner (Mark?) and his Japanese business partner were very charming. There was this very fair Cambodian guy who worked there who was too plastic-looking and a bit full of himself for my taste but one of my friends liked him. I remember chatting with this tiny Karen guy who, like many marginalised and displaced persons, had quite a few interesting stories to tell.

Perhaps one of our more frequent posters, from Bangkok, will do his first ever trip report?

Isn’t that a contradiction in terms? By definition a “trip” is TO somewhere else. If someone is from Bangkok they could visit another country - such as Pattaya - and report on that trip, but logically they can’t write a “trip report” to somewhere they’re already resident

Logically if you have never visited a place, you cannot do trip reports, no matter you can much you steal from other posts.

Absolutely true dear Forum Living Treasure and as any fule kno I never venture far from that place that figures prominently in your thoughts, a Catholic boys school in Houston where I teach Latin. I’ve never been to Pattaya, and Thailand is Another Cuntry

Repeating the question - So is the place closed??? Did anyone go to the last night celebrations/memorial?

As an aside - Many years ago (back in 1987) I visited BKK for the 1st time and went to some Disco which was I think in Soi 4.
I got picked up by some guy and we ended up back at my cheap hotel and etc... Does anyone remember the name of that Disco?
