, it also doubles as a house decor shop.I mean, I've entered Sukhumvit 39 COUNTLESS times, but I've never even heard wind of this place~!! Until someone took me there... which was a good thing, since it's tucked into a tiny, unnoticeable dead-ended sub-soi in Sukhumvit 39~!!Looks like some typical dark soi, eh~??

Silly Sukhumvit News~!! 2008-05-04 23:05:00 Snooker star Stephen Hendry drunkenly drove a taxi along one of the most dangerous city roads in the world (guess which ROAD~!!!). The Scot admitted he bribed a cabbie in Bangkok to let him get behind the wheel. It happened on a boozy night out with fellow snooker star Mark Williams. Hendry, 39, said it was "the craziest thing" he had done and "totally out of character". Hendry, seven times world champion, said he was dared by Williams - both were drunk. He said a dozen cabbies refused his offer of cash to let him drive. But finally, one took his offer and he drove drunk along Sukhumvit Road - Bangkok's main thoroughfare and known as the world's busiest. He said: "Mark Williams dared me to do it. "We hailed about a dozen and they wouldn't let me, so we were creating an even worse t Read more:Silly
