Bangkok Cheap Charlies

Another treasure in our adopted neighborhood, Soi 11. Off on a side street and outside, no more than 8 feet deep, and that includes the depth of the bar and the customer seating area, is Cheap Charlies and that it is. Written up in every guide book and online information resource for Bangkok for good reason. It is an eclectic meeting place for after work with odd signs, good prices and great cheer. We go here to recover from our dental debacle.

We have walked past this icon many times in the morning. To close up Charlie pulls a tarp down from the top of the bar and clips it to the bottom. This is closed. Open, he rolls up the tarp to expose natural teak and signage that is sure to impress visitors from around the world.

Keep inside the line on the floor when cars are passing.
Thank you for only pee. Don't shit

Here we meet a photographer from Timeout: Bangkok. We will have to follow this publication to see if we make the magazine or the cutting floor. We of course talk with her about Groveland and Yosemite. She has been here! We share our brochure and she thinks...yes, she has seen the Charlotte. What a small world. I am feeling better about my teeth.

I think that I have been to a lot of the places that you have been to except Macau. what was the attraction to go there? were the accomadions expensive?

Did you go to Shanghai or Bejing China?
PS Yosimite is one of the most beautiful spots i have ever been to I like staying on the Baker Ca side just outside the park
