Been a little under the weather folks but thanks to the blog and morefun I self-medicated. Anyway. Small Mango update. Well before one can build a new bar you have to tear out the old bar but it was not really a bar before. Let’s just say we have some serious destruction before we can start building the new mango. This pic is the 2nd floor looking out onto Soi Mango. More soon…

Quick Q: Is it going to be on the second floor, or will it be a multi-story venue?

You are a brave man opening a bar in the middle of maybe the most viscious nightlife crackdown yet…
…closing at 1 am
…a fence (!) on the Golden Bar
…a security guard paroling the wall

k - think of it more as getting the old bar back open - so not really a new bar. the crackdown does not seem to bother normal operating hours bars that are not go-gos. So we should be okay. normal bars actually do better during the crackdown since u have to drink before it gets to late.

You should throw a crowbar party. Get some beer and tell everyone to bring a crowbar. Instant destruction (and fun, too).

b - soi 4 - sub soi is soi mango
ab - yeah but we need it done quick without anyone getting hurt. We may have some parties during construction when it is safe to walk around.
I am waiting for people to find the construction site and email pics…

smitty - unless you were struggling through a bout of gonorrhea - as we all do from time to time - i’m not sure that morefun is a reliable source of medical information.

@ AB - bring a crowbar? How many do you own? I wouldn’t be able to choose between my standard everyday crowbar or my jewel encrusted Gucci - will it be formal dress?

msb - don’t know. never spent time on samui
the new mango is off of suk soi 4 bangkok - on an unnamed soi that we are naming soi mango.

Demolition is happening in a shophouse near all those short time rooms, across Soi 4 from the 7-11.
Home of the New Mango Bar?

If you go onto the flickr.com website & type in Nana Plaza, there are quite a few photos showing the old mango. Crap memories though eh?

Smitty… Not bad memories….
As I sat in your bar, trying to work out to the last minute what time I would have to leave that night, so as not to miss my flight home. I cut it fine quite a few times. Bad memory Number 1….
As I sat in your bar, wondering why I was actually leaving Bangkok that night! Bad memory Number 2…..
As I sat in your bar, trying to work out how the hell would I get back to Bangkok in the shortest time possible from the UK! Bad memory Number 3…..

AUK.
Lucky you!! At least you didn’t miss your flight. Or ’several’!!
I must admit.. all my bad memories (missed flights) are one way or another linked to that damn Big Mango Bar!
