BB - yeah, you could get down there as early as sevenish. I think that's when most of them open, although FLB might even be open through the afternoon. There are half a dozen cracking places, all within a minutes walk of each other - FLB, Living Dolls Showcase, Sueforum.xxxaby and Supergirl plus the two LB bars (and I'm sure other BMs would have a few more nominations). If you get down there that early and have a quick scope around in each place, you'll be ready to go back and hook up with the lady of your dreams by about nine. That's if you can make your mind up!
By the way, Tahitian Queen 2 on Beach Road near Soi 13 is open all afternoon. Never went, but I'm told it's a good one.
When do you go? I'm jealous already and would be climbing the walls but my flight's booked for Dec 28th.
