URGENT UPDATE – Due to local elections some of the go-go bars, beer bars and nightclubs will be closed in Bangkok on Saturday (28/08/10). Pubs have been told not to serve alcohol, so Saturday is likely to be a dry day in most Bangkok bars. The good news is that Pattaya is open and serving alcohol as usual, so you can plan accordingly. I know that a number of guys have headed down to Pattaya for the weekend.
SOI COWBOY & NANA PLAZA UPDATE - Some go-go bars will be open in Soi Cowboy and Nana Plaza tonight (28/08/10). Several bar bosses have decided to open, but not serve alcohol. It is never easy to give accurate updates, because the situation often changes so quickly. A number of bars will close and others will open, but it will probably be a dry day. Several sources are saying that the MIB or Men In Brown will be out checking the bars in Bangkok tonight. Thai Elections and Buddha Days are sometimes taken very seriously. Tonight in Nana Plaza the four Rainbow Bars, Mercury, Mandarin, Spankys and Angelwitch will be open tonight. It will be interesting to see what happens.

Following a disappointing FIFA World Cup (some poor football and appalling refereeing), I am sure many of you are ready for the most exciting football in the world. (more…)

Guinness Draught Beer has returned to Chequers Pub and so, the wait is over. The supply of Guinness is imported directly from Ireland and therefore those wishing to increase their iron intake are in luck. Of course, being imported from across the world Guinness will naturally cost you more, because it is not a local brew. Chequers Pub had to wait a while to have a Guinness pump installed, but the favourite black is back! Furthermore, until August 10th Chequers Pub are running a special promotion. Guinness is ONLY 170 baht per pint.
Chequers Pub is located just past Dynasty Inn on Soi Nana in Bangkok. They show a wide range of live sports and are renowned for their excellent traditional pub grub. This week I tried one of the specials, which was beef and beer stew. The beef was very tender and tasty, it was accompanied by a Yorkshire pudding, mashed potatoes and vegetables. Yummy!

If you ever wanted to meet a Bangkok based acclaimed author, then you are in luck. If you want to buy a novel and have it signed by an acclaimed author, then you will be double lucky. If you would like a FREE lunch and discount on the book, then you are triple lucky. My good friend Dean Barrett has published his latest novel and is hosting a book signing. ‘Permanent Damage’ the sequel to Skytrain to Murder, is on sale in Thailand’s book stores now. The book signing will be, as always, at the Texas Lone Star Saloon, Washington Square (Sukhumvit Soi 22, Bangkok). As usual, it will be from 14:30 to 16:30 hours this Saturday afternoon. And, of course, the lovely ladies of the Lone Star Saloon will be there to fulfill your every desire and cater to your every need. Dean commented, ‘Ladies drinks are cheap, so please buy them one, or three with your free meal’. Furthermore, in book stores Permanent Damage will cost you 450 baht. At the signing it will ONLY cost you 300 baht. Despite the fact that Dean is a talented writer, he really is a smashing guy and well worth meeting. I will be there, so I hope to see you then. Cheers!
Saturday, August 7th, FREE lunch at 15:00 hours sharp!

BANGKOK BOUNCES BACK
Despite what some people may say about Thailand, there is an increase in tourist traffic. Both the roads and the pavements in Bangkok now have busier traffic. The number of foreign arrivals into Bangkok is on the rise. (more…)

SPORTS SCHEDULE – The landlord of Chequers Pub has got it up early this week and so, Nick will be bashing his balls around. Settle down! Jack Nicholson’s lookalike has gone to Hua Hin to play golf. Well, it is supposed to be a golf trip, but it is more likely to be a busman’s holiday with some golf as a distraction! Joking apart, Nick has worked flat out every day since Songkran and therefore, definitely deserves a holiday. Nick will be back in Chequers Pub on Friday.
CHEQUERS OUT – Chequers Pub is located just passed Dynasty Inn on Soi Nana in Bangkok. Please tell Nick that Dave The Rave recommended Chequers Pub. Thanks! (more…)

FIFA WORLD CUP 03/07/2010 - The stage is set for an exciting quarter final. At 21:00 Thai time, it is Argentina V Germany, which is followed by Paraquay V Spain at 01:00 hours. Although it is an unpredictable World Cup this year, I think Spain and Argentina will win. However, as we have seen so far, anything could happen. Yesterday, Holland sent Brazil home in a surprise 2-1 result. Former World Cup winners France and Italy both crashed out very early, and pathetic England suffered their heaviest defeat in the history of the World Cup.
WEATHER WATCH – Heavy rainfall has hit Bangkok these past two nights, but the FIFA World Cup is definitely giving the bar trade in Thailand a much-needed boost.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE FARANGS GONE?
Just lately, the Thais are asking us why there are so few foreigners visiting Thailand this month. With confused expressions they genuinely ask, ‘Where farang go, why not come Thailand?’ With a wry smile we reply, ‘Why do you think they are not coming?’ It is as though the mini civil war in Bangkok never happened. Hey, perhaps they think it was a Hollywood movie! (more…)
