Back on topic, the muay Thai gym has now closed... as have "Happy" and "Cheers". Getting down right derelict in Wash Square. Most of the hold outs (AS Massage, Hound & Hare, Taffy's, Easy, 52 will close over the next 2-3 months as their leases expire.
To be followed by the roar of jackhammers.

too bad I missed the demise of the Silver $
I just found out via eMail from Ned that they've moved the remainder to Moonshine in Jomtien.
I guess there's truly nothing left of the square now except maybe Taffy's & Bourbon Street.

Having some free time this morning I decided to walk the ghost town known as Washington Square. I went there a couple of weeks ago to look around, but didn't take note of exactly what places were still open. This time I did.
A very hot walk in the morning on the even Soi side. The odd side was in shade, but the last crossover bridge is at Soi 18 and I wasn't about to take a chance jaywalking across Sukhumvit. I learned my jaywalking in calm and tranquil San Francisco, where the drivers for the most part drive slowly and courteously (perhaps because they are scared shitless by the hilly streets). In Bangkok you have to keep looking behind you to make sure a motorbike won't run you over on the sidewalk.
Anyway, hot and already tired, I entered Washington Square from Soi 22. Not much there, and almost all of it at the entrance. On the left 2 places remain open - Denny's Corner Bar and Hutthasat Massage. On the right a Bar (don't know the name, but it is on the street opposite Denny's), Taffy Hairy Pie Club, a Thai food shop, Easy Pub, Hare & Hound, and 52 Bar.
Just past 52 Bar is where Bourbon Street was. There was a wrecking crew there tearing out stuff from the 2nd floor and the street was blocked. So I couldn't get past in that direction (and it was too hot to go around the other direction). But, I know from my past visit that the only thing remaining open past 52 Bar is one massage shop. All the eclectic bars past Bourbon Street are closed and look like the aftermath of a Texas twister.
If you are going to see the remains of the once (in) famous Washington Square its best to do it at night. Cooler, and you can go to Queen's Park to drench your sorrows afterwards.

Is Taffy's still open? Seems like Taffy had several businesses in the area.
