Great stuff Kliome...you are truly a wealth of knowledge! I think I read in another thread that the Guess Bar has moved. Is your map current? I'll be in Bangers this week and hoped to find my way to GB. Staying at the Majestic, so it looks like I may be in a perfect locale...

Much appreciated,
Miami

[Phil Lander]

You must have been reading a very old thread as Guess Bar has been in Soi 4 for quite some time now . The map is up to date as Kliome is very good at doing that :wink: and the quality of the ladies is top notch , which I noticed you questioning in another thread. :?
HTH.

[kliome]

Yes, the Guess Bar location on the map/pic is correct. It's still not the easiest place to find for a first timer, just keep an eye out for the GUESS sign lit up above the door.

[Miami_LB_Lover]

Thanks Phil and Kliome... my flight leaves Miami in less than 8 hrs... the anticipation is killing me!!!

[Drift Spunk]

can someone please tell what is a loom?? And I have seen "555" written on the boards, I have no idea what that means

[Phil Lander]

Loom is how some Thai's say room .

555 means laughing , as 5 in Thai is Ha , so 555 means Ha Ha Ha .

After wondering around for a few hours looking for guess bar i decided to call in a internet cafe near NEP so i could google guess bar to see if i could get an address or directions.
DOH i was only sat across the road from the place just across the car park.
