Hi Midnite..Im Chris the owner of Checkinn, but live in Vietnam.. I come only at weekends. I splashed Checkinn around on previous posts was others were by passing it entirely. Its not really a pickup bar & but there 19 older hostesses (very few young ones). We tried young ones who were ignored by the customers. Barfines are 500B - but the Band are Gems. If free come & say hi & I wil...

Hi Baxter - this is Chris & yes - guilty as charged - I'll do the right & put some ads in to B-A. I splashed my way round Thai Visa the same way / time.. got onto the advertising guys and now they are happier. I work in Vietnam during the week and only come back to BKK on the weekends. If you're in on a Sat .Sun.>9.30pm ask for me & I'll buy you a drink. Am making ...

Hi Kansuwan.Ive come round the circle and accept it was a niaive to self promote but did so out of frustration. When I tried to search on Checkinn there was almost nothing posted. I will approach B-A to tale out a proper advertisement, (right thing to do) but from now will tone comments down to proper forum responses (and yes I owe BMs some discounts and quite a few more Hail Mary's for my...

\ Hi.WJ! I found a picture of the midgit on old William Morledges 2006 blog but still quite accurate - Checkin seems to have been round for ages. http://www.bangkokeyes.com/2006may01.html anyone got a later picture of the midget?

Yeah - last April - it got a new owner. agree the band really pump out a great night of entertainment... I can just sit there all night and watch them.. Those girls perform EVERY night now... just one day off a week - the rest of the time they are learning new songs and dance routines. Their aussie rock is awesome... they are planning an Aussie Rock caberet night on 3Dec. The place is very friendly for local or toursit couples...who want a good evening or dance. There seemed to be heaps of new hostesses there so the place must be doing well. Was full last Sunday night. I will be there next Saturday back from Vietnam!! yo!

It is more like an old style Cabaret bar and steakhouse (without the cover charge!). I dont know other places like this in Bangkok where you can enjoy the entertainment for a full night... I am sure there are... but where?? They should try and make more signage at the front entrance..inside is great with old comfy seats.. and the band girls are awesome! Last week the place was full of couples trying to escape the razzamatazz of Sukhumvit! Lots of Aussies crying in their beers with the Australian rock the girls punch out. what night(s) will you be in? I come over from Vietnam for my BKK R&R at the same time.

Found this great live band / restuarant. Just 15 - 20 metres up from the corner of Soi 5 and halfway to Soi7 (opposite Landmark Hotel) is Checkin99 -sort of a wierd mix of old style night club / cosy bar / dancing. But they have Great steaks - reasonable prices. .. Decore looks like it is out of a time capsule from the 1970s... some of the staff have worked there for over 30 years.. waiters with bow ties. Inside is like Ricks Bar from Casblanca!! It even has waterfalls, stork statues and old style plaster parrots on the walls! The best part of this place is the incredible Philippine girl band that do almost non-stop Caberet style entertainment from about 8pm to 1.30am every night are both gorgeous and immensely talented. They sing anything... all the oldies, rock and in between - and an amazing array of Aussie rock (new Oz owner)! for the Aussies - they sing everything from Skyhooks, LRB., INXS, Australian Crawl, Cold Chisel, Daddy Cool, Men at Work ACDC Midnight Oil...It is totally "Wife and couple" friendly (not a girlie bar - but many good looking hostesses who will join your table only if asked and make sure the singlies have company...they are great with single expat women and making sure everyone is up and dancing) it is a real oasis for good no-hassles entertainment in that area... plenty of dancing.. or just watching the band. Can't imagine that I have walked past so many times and not gone down that ally!! not much they can do with the small entrance but still a great place... and a real "best kept secret" of Bangkok night life.
