Side Pocket Bar in Bangkok
 

How many pool tables does it have? Maeng still cook garlic shrimp for you?

i believe it is closed.. there were 3 or 4 tables

That is a shame. I feared that when the Pickled Liver had to move from Soi 11.

Yes, Maeng has had to close. I'm not sure where she will be cooking next. Her garlic shrimp was always a treat.

PL on soi 7/1 is doing OK but not like things were on soi 11. It's a shame.

Rayong, if you want to play pool in a fun atmosphere, have you tried Players (very close to Sheraton Sukhumvit/Asok station) or how about Sports Academy (upstairs at a building almost directly next door to the new Sofitel Hotel on Sukhumvit, in a purpleish building..Ruamchit...there is also a place on the first floor as you go up the entry stairs but we have not played there). I think both places will have food... catered? You order what you want and they go get it, maybe? Players is more 'serious' than Sports Academy; both have good tables. Then there is the pool place in the basement at Time Square.. the name escapes me right now. A much more 'serious' place to play your game.

Thank you for the pool info. Starting a new business is tough, but I was rooting for her. So, she has no connection to the PL anymore?

No more connection to PL at all. I'm not sure they are on speaking terms.

Well, if she could not make a go of it, then I am reminded again not to entertain any idea of investing there.

Definitely NO to investing there. A family member was part owner of a business, and there were problems. The family member did get back money that was invested... that was sheer luck.

Maeng knew how to keep PL supplied and running smoothly, but I don't think she was prepared to go it alone. It was a huge investment for her, and it did not pan out the way she had hoped it would. But she really wanted to give it a try.

Did you meet "rayong" there Carol? Was it Brad that own a part of the PL?

None of us were never investors in PL, Hanuman.
I have not met Rayong in BKK.

There are new owners of Side Pocket. The name was not changed. The place looks to be busy! Live music? Probably same 2-3 pool tables. No Maeng though.

Carol, I noticed that last month, but did not go inside!
