I would like to add La babamba Although no one want's to mentiont the bar....to me it doesn't matter who's behind the scene but i have always felt great and welcomed.
I understand the question is about bars owned buy expats, but we should not forget sally's ( in the hay days ). So what, which is also there and humming... they also deserve to be aknowleged.
Hats off to Jimbo, who i had only met when he's on trips to BKK or Patts. I have read here and other forums about his establishment and wish him all the best.
IMHO all bars are great and have their moments when one enjoys the hospiltaity of host and the hostesses.....
thats my bit.
