A fantastic trip arounc old Sukhumvit cinemas, the former Ministry Of Sound nightclub, Klong Prem Prison, Washington Square, Soi Wanglee, Bangkok's tram system plus a few other landmarks now consigned to the dustbin of history. Some were destined to fail while others were miscarriages of justice, like the disgraceful Soi Wanglee fiasco which should never have happened.

When I first visited Bangkok in 1979 I went to see The Deerhunter in a cinema on Sukhumvit Road (if I remember correctly). For the foreigners there was a large room with a glass separation in the back where they played the original English soundtrack. I was in Thailand for 4 weeks in January 2024 after an absence of 40 years. Many things changed. Luckily the food is the same!

I'm a native of BKK and I really appreciate you share many interesting facts I didn't know about my home city. Watching your videos is like going back to my history class at Debsirin school.

Pat---One of your best Vids ! For me it brought back so many memories for this old oil rig veteran. MOS was fun for a short time. My home was Washington Sq btw the Silver Dollar and the Lone Star circa 1996-2008. The owner of the Lone Star now lives in Houston, Tx, USA and runs a restaurant there with her daughter. A lively bar after 9PM. Bourbon St for Holiday dinners were the best. Deny's Bar was my 1st bar in BKK and I lost my heart, and a large chunk of money. to an Isaan girl working there. Thanks for the memories.

Love this video! In the mid 2000s I used to go to a club called Bed or Beds? Had beds around the dance floor to lounge on. Really great place but I heard it closed down or maybe the concept just got old? Also there was a jazz bar called Brown Sugar. Didn't find it last time I visited in fact all of Sarasin Road looks quite different. Now that I'm thinking about it, in the early nineties the Dusit Thani hotel had a basement nightclub with a model spaceship that flew around the room and at the entrance to Sukhumvit Soi 10 or 11 there was a drinks bar built into and around a tree. Both it and its owner were landmarks. He once told me the richest man in Thailand had made his fortune selling the little paper umbrellas they put on cocktails. And I believed him! 😂 What else lets see, oh yes a roller-skating restaurant. This was perhaps a little out of town? Remember going with my parents as a very young child in the 80s. It was a huge sprawling open air restaurant and all the servers were on rollerskates. Good memories. 😊

Re Old Cinemas, almost by default they turned to porn or "suck" (I leave that to the viewer imagination) theaters - which was quite common a phenomenon in SE Asia - as their last gasp before the bulldozer was called in. Phil Jablon (of the fascinating cinema blog mentioned above) did give the spotlight on one on Petchaburi whose cavernous lobby/first floor became the place to hang out for working belles in the neighborhood.

Every time I look at those old photos or videos of the Bangkok's bygone days, I always have a strong penchant to be teleported back in time and experience all of those establishments (some that I had known or visited) which have vanished forever (I'm sure I'm not the only one). It was a very different world. Another thought-provoking and evocative account of Bangkok's past. Great work, Pat!

The disappearance of BKK tram system seemed not to have bothered the populace too much because...Though that was before my time, my guess is who need trams when we have songthaews? (Though quite absent in Pat's vlogs,) they fill in the gaps left between city buses and pricey fai fa (Skytrain, MRT, etc.) A feature in the daily life of the poor/working class, they are also an quintessential part of public transportation, especially in the outskirts of the capital as well as in the provinces.

Thailand and Bangkok has every right to modernise and determine its own future but they do need to decide how many of its old buildings can they destroy. When we were doing our walking tour I was amazed at how many old beautiful buildings that deserved to be preserved and lived in. Tourists such as myself won't come back for soulless shopping centres. Looking forward to many more visits.

Remember the drug raids and drink curfews. We would go down to din daeng and drink out of ice buckets. My wife and I left back 23 years ago to make our wealth then return. We’ve only got as far as Portugal for now while we do the final transition. Look forward to spending the last years of our lives in the warmth of Thailand.

Excellent documentary Pat! No pics of Taffy's Hairy Pie Club in Washington Sq?! Has any of your research provided any credence to the the supposed happening of elephants playing football with inmates trapped inside balls made of bamboo at Maha Chai Rd prison? Or is that just another urban myth?

I love the old BKK where lives in these neighborhoods were so vibrant albeit a bit of chaos, without too many high-rise buildings and modern shopping malls. The beautiful Tricadero Hotel already been demolished, this was the first hotel I stayed there during my virgin trip in BKK in 1989, so sad.
