-- Tee rak & I left the appt. at approx. 14193O.hrs. primarily to see what places might be OPEN for a meal?
- Along soi Than Tawan a couple of JP. girlie bars, TAWAN CLUB & INDRA MASSAGE;
- Along S'wong. rd. TARNTAWAN MASSAGE, 66PROUD MASSAGE & the PERSIAN REST'T., SARIKA CAFE., SIP REST'T. & BAVANA 24/7. CAFE./REST'T.;
- Looking at Soi T'light. many of the bars' neon signs were lit; but at that earlyish hr. not many people seen;
- Along Rama IV. rd. all were quiet;
- Approaching the former ROBINSON'S we were directed to go through the car-parking area rather than around the outside;
- Along Si Lom rd. - where there were the orange-colored & plastic barriers across the rd., some of wch. were reinforced by coils of razor-wire - all were CLOSED, except for the smaller 7/11s. & FAMILY MARTS;
- In Silom soi 6 there were MARSALA ZONE, the Ch. rest't. & LA TANA.
-- For most of the way - in fact until the soi Convent tee-junc. - we were just about the only & civilian pedestrians.
-- We supped - not too cheaply - in MARSALA ZONE.
-- Afterwards we retraced our footsteps but were stopped by the mil'y. at Silom 4 and asked not to proceed any farther;
- We walked through P. Pong 2. where possibly about half of the girlie bars were OPEN, as were FOODLAND and the next door 24/7. cafe./rest't.. I noticed that none of the TVs. was shewing any football or other sporting event, instead all were shewing a serious faced police colonel making a longish announcement & occasionally consulting his written notes;
- Looking along P. Pong 1 only some of the bars in the bldgs. either side were OPEN.
- Back in si Than Tawan TAWAN BAR had CLOSED for the night.
