Drinking
Street, Soi 1 and Soi 2 Photos
This page takes in Second Rd,
Drinking Street, Soi 1 and Soi
2. Drinking Street is a beer bar complex on
the eastern side of Second Road. There is about 12 bars
in this complex. There are a couple of bars that have
moved here from near Soi 1 and Soi 2. They were displaced
from those area due to redevelopment.
This complex is where this tour starts. I
decided to take the photos during the day as do so in daylight
is much easier than at night. Also much more details can be
gathered in the day that is hidden in darkness at night. As a
consequence most bar will appear quiet but that is not always
the case at night.
The first photo shows the sign advertising
the Drinking St sign. Because of its location this complex must
find it difficult to find passing trade.
The Drinking St complex is fairly new and
the bars look good. As you can see the bars are very quiet in
the day.
Noi Bar Beer shown in this photo is one of
the bars displaced due to redevelopment in other areas. This
bar was located near Soi 2 on Second Road.
This is Joy Bar and is another bar displaced
due to redevelopment. This bar was located near Soi 1 on Second
Road. In its previous location it was a popular bar with many
lovely ladies. They were very active on the dancing poles. I
have not checked it out at its new location so maybe I will
soon.
Now we head out onto Second Road. This photo
was taken on the eastern side of the Road and not far from the
Drinking St compex.
This photo was taken in the same location as
the last but on the other side of the road.
Easyrider Bar is one of the larger bards
in the area.
Tiffany is a show place for ladyboy
shows. Recently they help a nationwide ladyboy competition
here.
There are many small road-side shops in
this area, particularly at night.
I thought that this was a rather
unusual construction on the roof of this building. We are now
getting close to Soi 1.
just a general shoot of Second Road.
The sign with the big star on top in the distance is for Big C
which is a big shopping centre.
Here is a closer look at the structure on
the roof. Looks like it has Chinese origins to me.
This is one of the constructions that
displace some beer bars. It is on the corner of Soi 1.
Second Road near Soi 1.
In this area there are many massage
parlours catering to the Japanese and Taiwanese on package
tours. This is one of these places.
...and they are brought in like
sheep.
This is a photo looking down Soi 1.
From Soi 1 it is only a short distance
to Soi 2. Here you will find Sabai Dee Massage. This is one of
the soapy massage places that you should try at least once.
That is the end of the first page of this tour. Click next
