or to get to Nicky at C&B Gentleman's Barber for a quick coiffeur before your night out.

Yes----- away from the shop.

One bar owner friend of mine used to say to an awkward client "you are client and client is king" then under his breath "but I am emperor!".

Soi 2?

Department_Of_Agriculture You wrote (or pasted) in your silly seemingly interminable post -- All the bars and restaurants in Silom soi 4 are now on one-year leases too.

As I have informed before, ALL premises on soi 4 are and ALWAYS HAVE been on one year leases. Why are you suggesting that this is something new?

Thanks Moses, that's just the information they needed. I'll pass it onto them. It will be good to see them again after such a long time. Damn! I'll have to buy a new hat😁.

Thank you for your helpful response.

Yes, maybe they were rehearsing a Village People routine --- oh no, it wasn't that long ago.

A certain amount of 'seepage' is usually involved.

Over the years there have been these type of rumours. I've even seen surveyors measuring up the soi a few years ago.

Two English friends living in Spain for years have asked whether they would be eligible to travel to Thailand and get married here. No, I don't know their reasons.

Well, my info from an owner is that they have been promised at least 3 more annual leases by 'the family'.

You ask the mamasan (or the boy) how much to 'off' the boy. Usually starting at about 500 Baht. This is only the fee to the bar to allow him to finish his shift early. THEN you negotiate with the boy; variable depending on what you want him to do. Can vary from about 800 to 8,000 Baht. Take him to your hotel (if allowed) or let him take you to a local short time hotel. Some bars have short time rooms upstairs for a fee of course. Expect to pay about 500 for a short time room Have fun.

oh, you saw me?
