   Quick Q: Is it going to be on the second floor, or will it be a multi-story venue?

   You are a brave man opening a bar in the middle of maybe the most viscious nightlife crackdown yet…

   …closing at 1 am

   …a fence (!) on the Golden Bar

   …a security guard paroling the wall

   k - think of it more as getting the old bar back open - so not really a new bar. the crackdown does not seem to bother normal operating hours bars that are not go-gos. So we should be okay. normal bars actually do better during the crackdown since u have to drink before it gets to late.

   You should throw a crowbar party. Get some beer and tell everyone to bring a crowbar. Instant destruction (and fun, too).

   b - soi 4 - sub soi is soi mango

   ab - yeah but we need it done quick without anyone getting hurt. We may have some parties during construction when it is safe to walk around.

   I am waiting for people to find the construction site and email pics…

    smitty - unless you were struggling through a bout of gonorrhea - as we all do from time to time - i’m not sure that morefun is a reliable source of medical information.

    @ AB - bring a crowbar? How many do you own? I wouldn’t be able to choose between my standard everyday crowbar or my jewel encrusted Gucci - will it be formal dress?

    Demolition is happening in a shophouse near all those short time rooms, across Soi 4 from the 7-11.

    Home of the New Mango Bar?

    If you go onto the flickr.com website & type in Nana Plaza, there are quite a few photos showing the old mango. Crap memories though eh?

    Smitty… Not bad memories….
    As I sat in your bar, trying to work out to the last minute what time I would have to leave that night, so as not to miss my flight home. I cut it fine quite a few times. Bad memory Number 1….
    As I sat in your bar, wondering why I was actually leaving Bangkok that night! Bad memory Number 2…..
    As I sat in your bar, trying to work out how the hell would I get back to Bangkok in the shortest time possible from the UK! Bad memory Number 3…..

    AUK.

    Lucky you!! At least you didn’t miss your flight. Or ’several’!!

    I must admit.. all my bad memories (missed flights) are one way or another linked to that damn Big Mango Bar!
