Side streets here are known as ‘soi’s’ and they’re numbered in order from the main street that they run off. I’m in Silom and the main streets ‘Silom’ St – so the side streets are Silom Soi 1-30.
The club we went to was on Soi sii – 4th Street – or as it’s commonly referred to, Gay Soi. The street is so camp it’s hilarious – even down to the places only employing gay waiters who swish about the place. We went to a bar/club, which was OK, or more specifically the décor was pretty good but the music was terrible.
The place filled up with Thai people, which I was a bit surprised at, and to tell the truth a little intimidated by. Not that they were threatening (well maybe some looked a bit so) but it’s more that I didn’t know the rules of what was going on. Were the girls hookers? Were the girls girls? Were the guys the thugs they dressed up to be? Would I get beaten up for looking at the wrong person the wrong way?
Who knows, obviously nothing happened and we all just had a drink chat and very limited boogie – as I said, the music was terrible.
