I have also read about hasles on beach road at night but again I had no problem there either. Maybe some people just ask for problems I don't really know.
All I can say is we drank in the bars within the Soi's had no problem.
We walked the streets pissed at night. No problem.
Beach Road at night. No problem. In fact no problems at all. Just enjoy the place and smile and interact with the people and I don't think any problems at all.
I am sure some situations can arise but I would also think rare. IMHO
