It appears reports of the demise of the Boss were a little premature - the place has been done up, re-opened and is currently available for business.
As I was ambling up Soi 6/1 late last night i was accosted by the formidable Joy and her equally formidable appendage.
Naturally we retired to the inner sanctum of the Boss to discuss the weightier topics of today. Joy informs me that the owners have also improved the short-time rooms (wouldn't have been difficult!) but I can't verify that as I only had time for the one beer before heading home.
Oh and the new interior sees the removal of the old bar area giving it a less "loungey" feel. It was so new you could still smell wood... which seems somewhat apt.
