MIDNIGHT HOUR from this informative Bangkok-based website came out with a 2007 list of recently defunct clubs and entertainment venues.
Our favorite had to be the Prasithipol Dance Bar.
No one can put an exact age on the now-defunct Prasithipol Dance Bar, however it was in it’s heyday some fifty years ago. Located in the then-Port & Customs area of Yannawa on Soi Wanglee, it remained a favorite waterfront Night Entertainment Venue even after 1951, when the major port facilities shifted farther south to Khlong Toey.
The Prasithipol also had the distinctions of having been Bangkok’s first licensed Night Entertainment Venue, as well as having a most rare collection of ancient bottles of booze – all on display. Alas, in spite of the media-flurry in February, and our write-up in our March edition, very few made the pilgrimage down to the riverside to see “The Prasithipol” before it faded into history.
We are fortunate to have been able to go down and talk to the current owner (whose memories of The Prasithipol from when she was just a young girl proved most enlightening) – and to snap a few photos for the historical record.
RIP indeed.
Another shard of history shitcanned for progress.
