Stable Lodge was opened by Danes just before their first hotel on the soi, Mermaids Rest closed. First place I stayed at in Bangkok. Nice bungalows around the pool. Soi 8 used to be great but now gentrified with expensive eateries and poncy western DJs though some of the smaller bars are ok.
Which soi has a combination of street food/market and A/C restaurants plus affordable accommodation and some nice bars but retaining the 'old Bangkok' atmosphere with no anti-westerner feeling?
I used to like Sukhumvit Soi 8 in the 90s before it was gentrified with high end condos and pretebtious wine bars with snobby DJs.
Petchaburi Soi 5 came close in the early 2000s.
Generally, yes it's safe. The western woman needs to act responsibly and not put herself in certain situations. I've often seen drunk low-so twatpacker types draped all over thuggish looking Thai guys on the islands and elsewhere.
Hamas admitted it.
The IDF took videos of the tunnels leading to the hospitals.
They found dead hostages and evidence of military activity there.
Released hostages confirmed it.
What more do you want?
There's no carpet bombing. The hospital was hit by a rocket from Islamic Jihad. A proven fact. Hamas uses hospitals as military bases. A proven fact. As I said, your posts stink of support for Hamas.
