They seem to be dying a slow death ( Tarzans the only BM I can think of that deserves something quicker...555).
Saxophone went, Rio muddles along with the same old and expensive drinks, a coupla bars on the left in Soi Sea Dragon, the same 2 grand palces whatever theyre called in the open air on Beach road....
In short, Patongs very short in this area given the tourist base...
