    Walkabout was great for the Aussie pies and dinners. Shanghai was good also. Howie moved and opened up 'The Wall'. One of the roads off 51 street. Heart of Darkness is great regardless of your gender etc. Never had any problem in there. ( Leeroy Thornhill band member of the prodigy fame played there DJ'ing a few years ago and was a great night. )Pontoon also is good and very high in security and safety of couples or people while in there. Living here is good. The city is getting it's mojo back. Even though many of the old places closed down with the pandemic. Some recovered but many couldn't. I find it better living out of the center of town if your here long time as I find it just a bit too fast paced on a day to day basis to live in. ( Saying that, I haven't been to a beach for years and always city locked.) Great for entertainment down in those areas once and a while. At my age I've seen most of it and lived my younger party days years ago. Always bars to wind down in if you don't want it too full on in your face.

I last visited street 51back in September just before the Golden Sorya Mall closed and there are still some great bars on street 51opposite the Mall where you can watch life on the street. Bassac lane is no replacement for GSM !

    Eddie...I agree about the "modern" city mania. .People want the old days, but complain about the sidewalks, hanging wires, run down areas, etc. I am not a fan of the "beautification" trend everywhere. So I think it will be P.P. for me when I return to Asia. Thanks.

  • @Tom-Yum-Gai
    @Tom-Yum-Gai Год назад +1

    I'm APALLED you did not say one little thing about how cleaned up it is, nor about the recent paving which seemed to be on all the streets you toured. Place used to be awash with litter and those markets? mostly wet floor with god knows what, water being only half of it I suspect...lovely smelling place...like a rose :) That whole entrance way to the Central market is new too, with that overhead sunscreening construction. I'd say much improved, but yeah, watch out as they pick up speed on modernizing, it'll get as sterile as Bkk is getting in places. Cast your eyes around and good luck seeing anything old from your memory.

    Love all of the old bars and places. Sadly they are all disappearing now. Same as Thailand. Best places to go now to find retro bars in Thailand are Cha-am, Hua Hin and border crossing towns close to Malaysia. Up North here in Thailand like Nong Khai and Udon Thani would also suit you Ed. Probably cheaper than Cambodia.

    • @isaanman5399
      @isaanman5399 Год назад +1

      Isaan can match or beat Cambodia on prices except for alcohol & tobacco as Cambodia has no duty Cambodia wins that by a mile. Still for Thailand Isaan is cheaper. Big 620 ml Bottle of Leo or Chang in a Girly Bar in Udon is 100 or 110 THB ($3). Other places it’s cheaper & a some do offers like 3 Big Bottles for 200 THB ($7). There is a bit to offer in this corner of Isaan. Khon Kaen & Udon Thani are 2 of the Isaan Big 4 Cities & joined by 115 Km of railway that takes 1.5 hours. Another 60 Km North you got Nong Khai again joined by the railway. From Udon you get a 2 hour bus ride to Loei & another 1 hour bus ride to the quaint Town of Chiang Khan which gets a lot of Thai tourists. From Nong Khai it’s only 25 Km across the bridge to Vientiane the capital of Lao & they got the bullet train that takes 2 hours to Luang Prabang & Lao is another Country of cheap Beer & Fags but as a Communist PDR it’s not a place for Mongering well at least not with Lao girls. Flights from Bangkok to Khon Kaen or Udon Thani are only 1 hour & you can buy a ticket for all the airlines that fly the routes from any 7-11, Family Mart, Lotus’s & Big C. Nong Khai is Funky. You got the nice River front. The new part of the town & the old part with the old French Lao style buildings & with Lao on the other side of the River you get the French baguettes & it has a few Girly Bars in Soi Nitapat near the White Inn Hotel. Plenty on YT about all these places if anybody wants to check them out.

    • @tobyprice1092
      @tobyprice1092 Год назад +1

      @@isaanman5399 I like Isaan a lot. It has a lot to offer as you have explained in your post. I live in a small village in North Chonburi. Prices are the same as isaan. My pub is the local village shop where you can sit with the locals and have a few 60 baht leos and some craic. I was in Cha Am recently and was surprised at the 100 baht for a big leo in a girly bar. Very cheap. You did have to scout for stunners though. I was with the wife so it didn't worry me. I will look forward to my next isaan trip.
