Ha ha, I’m embarrassed to say I know of that place although I went as a tourist with my wife (Yes! It’s not that uncommon). When I lived/worked in Bangkok, it was best avoided as it’s a cul de sac, and the just passing through excuse doesn’t cut it.
The funny story include tourists stepping off a 20+ hour flight and heading straight to Nana. Despite not sleeping for 24 hours and having jet lag, they’ll down a few gallons of alcohol and a wake up with an empty wallet the next day swearing they must’ve been drugged and robbed 🤣
Where I am right now, OK, it’s the Philippines, has its similar areas, but I’m not even curious to go there. This could be the first time I’ve visited a new country and not set foot in a bar. My partner left hers years ago and is curious to see a bar. They might be going on their own 🙂
