This year spent a lot of time in late afternoon/early evening in the bars in No1 Sunset Plaza Phrachanukroh Road (Off Beach Road) opposite the Absolute Hotel.
Reason for this was, on a previous trip we found it a bit hard to find many bars where there was a lot of people around at that time of day, so was glad when we found this area.
Always a good crowd of people there, bars were good and always had plenty of weekend sports on the TV's. Was also a good place to take my GF as the people that run and work in the bars there were very friendly.
Also many of the bars along Rat-U-Thit road, Really enjoyed Bar1 on the corner of Rat-U-Thit road and Soi La Diva. Have never really heard anyone mention this particular bar on here, as it seems to be very well run and also open pretty late most nights.
1st time on this years trip I found the complex in the OTOP Markets. Found some good bars in there and will definitely visit again when I return.
