Excellent on the ground reporting LR.  This is what it is all about, LB street scenes giving guys a taste of life outdoors in Bkk. :hi:

 

Cheers BB

 

June the owner asked me to post some of her pictures onto this forum. So expect a lot over the next few weeks :biggrin:  As a little tired as I have just got back home at 11 pm tonight.

Never noticed a kebab place on Sukhumvit Road where the bar is - you maybe thinking just as you walk into Soi 5 itself, but the bar is on the main road - directly opposite the landmark Hotel and in an area that used to house a Starbucks before it got demolished & re-built.   

Maybe the golden arches want to be ethnically correct and cater for a significant number of passers by and changed itheir name into McKebab?

Nice to see some updates on the ground LR.

 

Looks a decent little late night stop that bar, will 100% check it out with Fogmaster in a couple of weeks.

 

Hopefully see you then.

Yeah this looks like our kind of place, especially for street meat chasers like us!

They also have one of the more entertaining Facebook pages for us ladyboy lovers. Always plenty of photos and amusing updates!

Here are a few of Junes pictures from her facebook page she asked me to post. These are from Monday night as all food and drink vendors were barred from putting up their stalls (nana burger) was the only one I saw open and that was after 12 Midnight. So June took the lasses out for a meal and drinks. I was invited by June but did not get back from Hua Hin till late and a bit knacked and didn't make it out till late. So missed out on going.

The simple idea's are often the best.   Seems to be working at Check In Bar and they are going from strength to strength.  

 

Cheap drinks,  Cheap barfines,  Lots of talent & great atmosphere from happy girls.   Simple but effective formula to keep the seats filled with happy punters.

 

If she can pull it off, I suspect June will also have an indoor bar adjacent to the current venue very soon.   Personally I think its well deserved - I have never known a LB so focused on what she is building up - heck the girl does not even drink - that must be a first.

You are not wrong there Mardhi, the bar appears to be very popular at the moment.  For guys conscious of being seen with ladyboys in public it would not be their cup of tea of course, but for many of us who like the buzz of drinking on the mean streets of Bangers is looks like a great option.

Without knowing it - June opened at just the right time.   She has been a big beneficiary from the fall out in Soi 4.   Not just top tier girls (Luk Tan, Gow and Pern - you cannot get better than these 3) but regular customers and some of the stakeholders.  These guys are not shy at dropping 5000b in a night on drinks.  Most of it seems to be going into the CIB till thus helping her to open an inside bar as well as the street cart.    Foreigners can only vote with their wallets on this point and much of it is is supporting this little cart operation because a) the issues elsewhere but perhaps more importantly - its June - she is awesome.  Just great hostess, relaxed and hard working.    More to the point, she is building up to put her young daughter through school and Uni - she is focused for sure.  A nice change in this scene.  

 

For sure a lot of guys are willing her on to get the indoor bar opened as soon as possible.

June has a daughter ? 

 

Yup And as cute as they come.   (but I have no idea how she "arrived")

 

Just look on her own FB page - I put it before I think - that is her daughter - whom she takes to nursery every morning after closing the bar (then going to get the girl and going to school).   She is a sound kid on that score alone IMHO.

Seems to be no end to this girls good heart.   She has now posted a few pics donating stuff to a baby hospital.  Its quite well known for really being an orphanage and has a number of youngsters born with HIV.    For those that do not know - state funding is pretty thin on the ground so most rely on private donations of food, clothing, cash etc to keep things going.  

 

I have also given a couple of my spare tickets to June to come down to the Volleyball and see what its all about and so she can meet many of the forum guys.   

 

By the way, that is her daughter in the pic.  No idea who the boy is or who took the pic (probably her Thai BF - also very nice guy).
