Big Changes Nana Plaza

March 18, 2018 by David Herd

Improvements to Nana in Bangkok

Big Changes Nana Plaza

Big Changes Nana Plaza Big Changes Nana Plaza Plus Soi 4 are taking place right now in March 2018. A huge roof is being built over the Plaza & the bars in the centre are being built again.

Lucky Lukes is still the same

Big Changes Nana PlazaFirst bar on the right as you enter.

 VW bar at the back

Big Changes Nana Plaza Plus Quite a nice addition to the plaza, apparently it has been here 3 years yet I rarely venture to the back of Nana.

Playschool is an old favourite revamped

Big Changes Nana PlazaYou gotta love the pink. 🙂

Big Changes Nana Plaza Plus Soi 4

Big Changes Nana PlazaLollipop makes a comeback. It was Suckers & before that Lollipop again.

Here it is in 2017.

Big Changes Nana Plaza

This to me is the quintessential Nana Plaza photo, sums up many of the customers. 🙂

 Re-building the bars, again.

Big Changes Nana PlazaThis is at least the 3rd time the bars in the centre courtyard have been re-built, I have a feeling the current owners will do it right this time.

Last re-build was 2013, check this link.

Turn the clock back to 1997

ea33f1fd-370b-4fd4-a7d3-233653917273

My first visit was 1997 which was the start of a long and happy connection, not necessarily because of the Thai girls who are there basically to relieve you of your hard earned cash, more because of the great times I have enjoyed with friends from all over the world. Check out this photo blog which showcases them and many of the gorgeous babes we got tangled up with over these decades of decadence. 🙂

Another longtime Nana Plaza bar.

Big Changes Nana PlazaRainbow 1 has been at Nana Plaza for as long as I can remember.

Let’s wander down Soi 4

Big Changes Nana PlazaThis is one of about 4 Hillary bars.

New kid on the block

Big Changes Nana PlazaJust a short stroll down Soi 4 on the opposite side of the road.

Located in front of  the old Rajah hotel.

Big Changes Nana PlazaThe bars offer a nice alternative to the rowdy Nana Plaza.

Semi open beer garden

Big Changes Nana PlazaAt the front of Broadway in Soi 4.

Opposite Broadway is the Red Zone

Big Changes Nana Plaza Plus Soi 4Apart from the new bars there are a couple of high rise buildings under construction, hotels or condos, not sure which.

Used to be Bangkok & before that Spellbound

Big Changes Nana Plaza The more things change the more they stay the same. I first came to Nana Plaza in 1996, & here I am again in October 2018 drinking ice cold Tiger beer & listening to the Eagles sing Hotel California, the perfect song for this incredible venue. “You can check out anytime you want but you can never leave.”

Big Dogs has also changed a little.

Big Changes Nana Plaza Still a great spot to watch the arrivals.

Hello sailor.

LadyBoys Nana Plaza Bangkok  Girls will often be boys.

Retox Sports Bar Pattaya

No smoking section

Thankfully 1/3 of the huge bar is non smoking so this suits me fine.

Still non smoking

This is the other end of the non smoking section, the service is always good just ring the bell & a girl comes running.

Did I mention the service? 🙂

Retox Sports Bar Pattaya

Sometimes these bikini babes can effect your concentration on the sport. 🙂

Soi 11 one of the great streets

Restaurants bars Sukhumvit Soi 11 Bangkok

Sukhumvit Soi 11 Bangkok

Restaurants bars Sukhumvit Soi 11 Bangkok is my favourite street in Nana, so many good bars, restaurants & hotels. Only a short stroll to Nana station and much cleaner & more interesting than Soi 4.

One of the things that make Thailand a fascination country are the street vendors.

Next door to Citadines hotel is Oskars, a very popular bar restaurant with good food and always single Thai girls looking for a date.

The food was very good however it is more bar than restaurant, the later it gets the noisier it gets.

Cheap Charlies at Super Sukhumvit Soi 11

Sukhumvit Soi 11 Bangkok

An iconic Bangkok bar in a small alley off Soi 11. A great spot to have a pre dinner drink before choosing one of the many restaurants in this great little back street Bangkok lane.

Sadly Charlies is no longer there, the area is being re-developed, so at the end of May 2017 we said bye bye Charlie.

Soi 11 near Sukhumvit

I used to have breakfast in the Pattaya branch of this chain before it closed late 2016, good bacon & egg croissants & coffee. This Soi 11 branch on the ground floor is part of the Ambassador hotel. There is an Italian restaurant above.

Plenty of street food on Soi 11

Sukhumvit

You will never go hungry on Soi 11.

But wait, there’s more

The choices of street food in Bangkok is endless.

Just a few meters from Nana station is an excellent small hotel tucked away in a lane off Soi 11. If you use this link you will get a room for around B1100.

Next door to  i-Check Inn is Yuma

Sukhumvit Soi 11 Bangkok

Quite an authentic Japanese restaurant, however I was disappointed in the skewers, but the salmon Roe was excellent. I’m probably hard to please after just returning from a fabulous trip to Japan.

Goodbye Charlie

Cheap Charlie’s and a handful of other popular bars and restaurants on Sukhumvit Soi 11, will be closed to make room for real estate development. The owner of Cheap Charlie’s has revealed that the one-rai parcel of land, where the bar has sat for 34 years, has been sold and the bar will be closed as of March 2017.

March 31 2017 sadly Cheap Charlies is no more.

Kilkenny LK Metro

If I’m not watching sport in LK I like to have a drink at Kilkenny which is opposite Billabong & adjacent to i-rovers. A very good “people watching” spot.

A good bar for watching the passing parade.
