Very good point BB (by the way, hello mate, long time no speak!)
At the moment I don't think there is one. Maybe Nicke should think seriously about opening MTB2, as a lot of the BMs do seem to be spending more and more time there! How about it Nicke?
Meanwhile, to answer the original question, I'd recommend the string of bars on Second Road, heading from the Lek Hotel towards the main crossroads and Walking Street. The one right next door to the Lek is good - it's run by a young lad who's half Thai, half Scunthorpe! He has the most bizarre accent! But he loves a party atmosphere and does everything to make good customers feel welcome. The second time I met him, me and a mate went in around midday - badly hung over - for a sharpener. He came straight over, shook hands, wouldn't let us pay for our bloody marys and thanked us for a great night the night before. He had to fill us in on a few details before I even remembered that we'd been in there!
For us, the pick of the bunch on that little strip was a bar called La Bodega, on the corner of 2nd road and soi 13 (or maybe 12). It does have BGs and a live band but it's very low key, more about drinking and chilling out. Plus it has a great Indian restaurant next door and a sandwich bar across the street and you're welcome to bring grub back from there.
