Yep mid 1990's and about that long since I regarded the place have much talent that I liked. Each to their own etc. But I still don't like to see Tims close. Its sad. Its Pattaya these days.

Butch Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 (edited) Tims was a bit of an institution back in the day, I remember it being so loud though, the placement of the speakers close or next to some of the tables wasn't great for my long term hearing prospects. I think it lost its way due in part to the location and being in the kind of "no mans land" of that bit of second road. I often forgot it was there actually, and did promise myself to revisit if ever, but I guess that's well and truly not going to happen. I think its days were numbered anyhow, the current situation merely expediting its demise. as @Zebsaid, it's a sign of the times.

Horizondave Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Loved Tims, bar fined quite a few out of there. Also used to watch footie in the back, they had massive screens and a large seating area. Used to be a real nutter doorman who always said hi when I passed by. Liked the place, thought the girls were alright but this was more back in the early 2000s and up to about 2014. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodged a bullet there. That's big money, and if the rooms upstairs are derelict, guess who'll be footing the bill for the renovation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the doorman, sound fella, funny as f**k. Had some decent girls from there when it was rocking. Probably nearly 10 years since I last went in there. Top music and pool room out back. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to be booze lounge before iirc, I believe that the former grass, nonce and police informant Tourist police volunteer Howard Miller had something to do with it. Was a decent venue back in the day, Kev in Thailand did a review on it, and I believe myself and BM Nightcrawler had a few beers in there one afternoon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a devastating comparison. Looks to me like they're doing a Pub Street infrastructure improvement project. New pipes and pavement. Makes sense to do it right now when empty. Siem Reap grew way too quickly over the past decade. Yes, there's no tourists in Siem Reap / Angkor due to Covid lockdown and hot season. Last time I was there in June 2019 it was very quiet. Many tourist hotels had closed - before Covid. My regular driver lives directly across from the main Angkor Temple. He told me he has no income & had to sell his nice Lexus. Feel bad for the guy as he has three kids. His wife is a food vendor. Hard times. Just need to get the world vaccinated and tourist attraction like Siem Reap can prosper again.

Whether it improves anything remains to be seen. Lots of new pick-up trucks for the project managers I imagine. If my city is any indication (also a tourist town), there'll be a lot of vacant commercial property for awhile to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new out-side market on Excite is non operational....Walking street installd a dreadful new sign and is tearing the street up...The beach promenade needs to be replaced badly....And that's pretty much it...... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
