I use to really enjoy sitting at Dicks Cafe and watch the passing scene. So much to look at to while away an hour or two. I understand it has moved to a new location. Any reason to go there other than the food and drink?

Presumably you're referring to the original Dick's in Bangkok, rather than the branch in the Jomtien Complex where I was once served the worst hamburger I've ever been expected to eat?
"The fruits of peace and tranquility... are the greatest goods... while those of its opposite, strife, are unbearable evils. Hence we ought to wish for peace, to seek it if we do not already have it, to conserve it once it is attained, and to repel with all our strength the strife which is opposed to it. To this end individual[s]... and in even greater degree groups and communities are obliged to help one another... from the bond or law of human society." [Marsilio dei Mainardini (c.1275-1342), Defensor Pacis]
If anyone knows what they put in the meat, please do not tell me.
So where is this new location?
I thought I had read somewhere that they had moved to a new location in Bangkok, I could be very well mistaken.Originally Posted by Josan
I had a hamburger there yesterday and it tasted great!
I dont know that the Bkk branch moved anywhere. I think they are only open in Pattaya now.

Dick's café in Bangkok is long closed.
The branch in Jomtien is open.
..........and that's the way it is.

For Thai food in or near the Jomtien Complex, Dick's is an excellent option. Reasonably priced, too.
This URL below says that Dicks Cafe - Bangkok edition - has retreated to the west side of the Chaopraya River in Thonburi in a neighbourhood called Khlong San, The map puts it close to the Skytrain station Krung Thong.
(The 'CLOSED' caption on this website seems to be about the Soi Twilight Dick's demise, not the new location.)

For myself, when in Bangkok I enjoyed sitting in Dick's joint on Soi Twilight watching the boys go by. As for the food, it was spectacularly forgettable.
Just another reason why I love living in Thailand

Just had a thought about visiting the New Dick's Cafe in Thonburi. If you plug this address into the search feature of Google Maps you'll find a 'star' hovering over the cafe.
49 Soi Saraphee 2, Ladya Rd, Khlong San.
I can't imagine that the new Dick's will be as 'gay' as it was in Soi Twilight (can I say, 100%). Perhaps Dick is venturing into the wild world of Straight-Gays-Cappuccino.
