As you head away from the University towards LadPrao you will pass the Chaleena Hotel on the right. If you keep going on for about 2 kms (and before the road bends to the right) you will see a couple of restaurants next to each other on the right side of the road always looking busy and with lots of outdoor seating. Plenty of TVs and big screens to watch the EPL soccer games. Behind these two restaurants are a couple of clubs. Sorry I don't know what these places are called - all the names of these places are in Thai only. One of the signs for one of the restaurants has a picture of a lizard on it. This spot is VERY busy, and full of young Thais mostly from the local Universities partying hard. With some farang friends we dined at one of the restaurants (very cute waitresses and beer promotion girls) and went into one of the clubs. The club was packed and had a great house band playing Thai rock. Everything was cheap and we were the only farangs in the whole area - and got a lot of attention as a result (with a few Thai guys volunteering to help us chat to girls). Don't think there was a girl in any of these places over 25, and there were plenty of girls getting hammered. Thursday night is supposed to be very good here. Not an easy spot to pick-up (everyone is watching you) but I think if you invested the time you'd get to know a lot of very cute Thai non-working girls. The whole area is full of small clubs and bars and tons of hot Thai girls walking around. Opposite Ramkhamhaeng University is Soi 65, otherwise known as LadPrao Soi 122.

Maybe someone on the blog knows what had happened to him in the past with a different publication.

That sets an impossibly high standard of understanding for Thai censors.......

On non - weekend nights the tunnel is only 300 baht. Spicy is cool but not on the weekend either. for a couple of laps maybe but I avoid all these places on the weekend for the most part anyway.

Usually they close at 5 unless they get shut down early so I would not go super late. I think on fridays and saturdays it is 500 baht and gets you 2 drinks.
