Yeah, was a bit early. I wanted a photo of Bangla before the skies got black, but the rain sort of changed my plans and I ended up spending half an hour trying to stay dry inside Burger King waiting for the rain to stop before I could leave. As I recall, I was heading down Bangla to go clean up at the hotel before dinner - lobster that night as I recall. The streets were all wet, making nice reflections, but it was too dark to hand-hold the phone, so I held it up against the pole to keep it steady.
I'll try Friday night to get a photo around 10:30, using a real camera that still works reasonably well in low light. I won't have any free time until then. If it's dry, the photo should give a reasonable idea of how crowded it is (not) now.

Hey, when it starts raining, you head for the closest place with a roof. All BK did (besides keeping me dry) was make me even more hungry. They've even got lots of chairs you can sit in while you wait out the rain.

Back to the thread:
Last night Bangla main bars (Shipwreck etc) open to 3am and side streets a lot longer.  This research is purely done in the name of humanity.

If you walk down Bangla to the beach road, and turn left, it's about five or six blocks down, on the left. It's close to the McDonalds that's also in that area. Speaking of McDonalds, I think they're building a new one right near the end of Bangla - at least that's what the guys working there tell me it's going to be. Two things to remember nowadays - always make a mental note of where you're going to run to if the rain starts unexpectedly, and always have a plastic baggie to put your camera and phone into in case you can't get out of the rain quickly enough. Things did seem to keep on going very, very late last night. There were still lots of people hanging out on the streets at 4:30am. I'm not sure what time most of the bars officially closed, but several were still quite open way late, although the lights and music had been turned off.

New Mc Donalds turn right bottom of bangla rd about 2 minutes walk , half the time walking as turning left at bottom of bangla road. Most bars will be open after 2.30 am if there is customers in there. No police checks for about 3 weeks, maybe the overtime and lose of tea money not seeing any policemen in bangla late night. went to safari last night. not been for one year. police van out side but still open at 3.30am, nearly had an accident a few times. music playing but no night anywhere. if your a newbie i knew where most was but nearly had a accident due to no lights anywhere. also inside, i know where the ladyboys go in bangla go now. some stupid twat tried to charge me 50 baht just park the car outside, then i said do'nt be silly he said 20 baht then said i''ll see manager tommow he said ok. last time i'll go there again or say to anyone to go there. baz
