I know the owner of The Beach Bar in that complex quite well, but as a creature of habit I have an early one at The Sick Buffalo Bar on Soi Banzhaan with a good bunch a blokes. Started going over the road to it when I first moved here and was staying in Italian Corrados guesthouse opposite on a cheap monthly deal.
Spike, a bit of a charcter Aus expat, was the boss of the "Sicko' then, but Stacey is the man now....
