There's an official dive bar over at Phra Ram 9 called Fattys.

Good place for food and live music.

I had a Bratwurst there this week on St Paddy's Day, smothered in sauerkraut.

I had breakfast at Det5 on Soi 8 this morning. I had to wait around because they don't open until 11 AM. A 3-egg spinach and mushroom omlette (195 baht) and 75 baht for cappuccino. Service was really good, waitress brought wet towel even when it wasn't hot. 

I hung out there a while last night, it's more relaxed than Soi 11.

Brew House is a new place, just opened. Great selection of fine brews and they won't add 17% to the bill.

Det5 restaurant has great prices but stop serving food at 11 PM, same as other restaurants on the Soi, but you can still get a BJ at Lolitas or full service massage at Bamboo. Soi 8 a good option to start your evening before moving on to another area. 

Krua Khun Puk indeed has low prices. Prawn and asparagus, 150 baht, but an 8-9 minute walk to Soi Nana. 

I was going to have lunch there today but there wasn’t a table available.  It’s always busy.

theres a place down soi 8 past all the hubub that has a great deal.

I’ll take a stab you’re referring to Det-5

Fitzgerald's on Soi Nana still offers a 99 baht Early bird breakfast from 8 to 11 AM. Two eggs, sausage, bacon, tomato, and toast with butter and jam. The cappuccino was an additional 90 baht. 

Welcome back.  

Alternatively, the Red Lion Pub has an American Breakfast with pancakes for 179. I think their baht buster breakfast featured in the OP is much better value for 129.

Hyde 11 is nice.  I prefer Ahston Asoke, as it's just closer to everything (BTS, MRT, Benjakitti Park, Cowboy, Terminal 21).

Could be demolished 😝

... And there's room for dessert, and more wine. 

Having lunch on Soi 8 today, some of my favorite restaurants over there.

I've been a customer of Bamboo Massage for 20 years. 

Girls were hanging out in front Lolitas

Prominade Hotel, looks like adjacent lit is fully cleared. 

Lunch at Monsoon

Penne seafood, oysters, and wine. 

I usually have fruit and coffee for breakfast but like to eat out occasionally. Best Value breakfast I've found is for 129 baht at the Red Lion Pub on Soi 13. Two eggs, 1 sausage, 1 back bacon, 1 streaky bacon, 2 hash browns, beans, mushrooms, half tomato, 1 white toast with butter and jam, orange juice, and coffee or tea.  

They open promptly at 8 AM, which I can attest to because I see the entrance from my condo. 

Another cheap breakfast is at Took Lae Dee, many locations, American Breakfast for 93 baht (84 baht between 6:30 AM and 9 AM).

Been meaning to try this place

90 baht.  Not a great burger but you can’t beat the convenience.

Nana Burger

thanks.

 Majestic Suites, and Raumchit Plaza look good and the price also fits to my budget. - are they guest friendly?
Im not looking to stay im a dormitory.

Citrus Sukhumvit 6 - looks good by way over my budget.

btw, its hard to tell by the map. what is the walking distance betwwen sukhumvit 11 to soi 4?

 

Yes, Majestic Suites and Raumchit Plaza are guest friendly.  It’s about a 10-12 minute walk from Soi 11 to Soi 4.

Majestic Suites, Nana hotel, Raumchit Plaza, and City Lodge (request a room in back) are all budget options between Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy, a little more than 800-1200 (which is not realistic in the area unless you stay at a hostel with dormitory-style accommodations). 

I've been attending these and they've been good, every Sunday afternoon at 5:30 promptly.

Get there early and enjoy a relaxing time in the park.

Monitor the monitors

Afterwards stop at Roadhouse BBQ on the way to Patpong

Some new GoGos, the girls are all virgins so get there early.

Slanted Taco at Craft Beer on Soi 23 has buy one/get one free on Taco Tuesdays. Shrimp tacos here.

Also recommend Smokin Pug, either location. The most expensive ribs in Thailand, but also the best.

Spend just a little more for Majestic Suites, Nana hotel, City Lodge, or Raumchitt Plaza

I would assume the bars will only be closed Sat the 24th.

I’ve stayed at the Rembrandt Suites, the newer tower facing Soi 20, and it was
