Well one of my all time favourite restaurants in Bangkok is closing.
The Suk 11 Hostel restaurant which is on a privately owned side soi that includes the hostel and many restaurants including Cheap Charlies, a very cheap and famous drinking place.
A developer has bought the property for a large development, as the character slowly drains way from Bangkok just a little bit more.
I first discovered the Suk 11 hostel when I was walking around killing some time one afternoon. It was late afternoon so it looked like a cool place to eat.
After the best Panang Gai I have tried and a few beers I was hooked. I took Flamingo Farmer there a couple years ago and he liked it too, especially the Mai Tais.
We have also dined there with some ladyboys on a number of occasions, even they think it was good and had never heard of it.
It was my secret place, even many Thais did not know about it. I was very rustic and mostly outdoors but with lots of greenery right in the middle of Bangkok a small Oasis.
Cheap Charlies is a unique bar that is like nothing else. It didn't stay open super late but it was always packed in the evening with people blocking the alley at times.
That Bar is probably more famous than the Hostel and restaurant whose owner held title to this land up until now but the whole soi was cool and interesting.
Cheap Charlies could actually move since it is just a huge service bar plunked on the side of the alley, adorn with many oddities and cool trinkets.
The Hostel itself had been there around 40 years and was pretty much in it's original state, visiting here was like going back in Bangkok Time.
Since most of the tables were out in the alley it was subject to rain issues, however they had a plastic drainage system that was simply amazing.
All the food I have tried there was great and the service was always good and friendly.
I'll always remember the second last time I went there with Layla and Flamingo Farmer in October. Layla called up her ladyboy friend to join us and meet Flamingo Farmer.
She showed up at the restaurant in a very risque slitted dress which turned every head in the place. We ate lots and had many drinks but had to move inside later due to heavy rainfall. It will be missed.
