Hello everyone!
I noticed this abandoned bar 2 weeks ago, but I saw a lot of people through the cracks in the fence and didn’t dare to enter. The area is located on the first line of the Gulf of Thailand and is fenced off from tourists by metal sheets and you can only enter from behind. There is a narrow passage.
I went in and asked the homeless people for permission to take pictures - they didn’t mind. The bar sign was in Thai and Chinese (I might be wrong), but I couldn’t translate it. There was no information on Google Maps either.
Inside, the standard picture of desolation: empty bottles of cheap alcohol, packs of energy drinks that are very popular in Thailand, which, they say, the locals add to alcohol.
In the corner, whole double-glazed windows were piled up - it seems that no one needs glass here.
The floor was rotten in places, the bamboo trim was falling off.
On the floor, I noticed a cover with the inscription “Sex On The Beach” - maybe that was the name of the establishment?
Behind the building, I came across two aquariums, one of which was intact. One of the photos shows homeless people's clothes drying on the lines.
At that time, three women and two men lived in the bar. One of the women spoke English, and I explained with difficulty that I was looking for other abandoned places. She happily agreed to show me one because her friends lived there, whom she had not visited for a long time. The two of us got on a motorbike and set off.
After a while, I saw a faded sign "Siambylla" and realized - you can definitely dig up something interesting here!
I found old photos of the restaurant: it was once a successful place where happy tourists relaxed, and the rating on services was high.
Photos of the working restaurant were taken from the Internet.
The last photo I managed to find was dated November 2022. Just a little over two years - and now this place does not look like just an abandoned cafe.
More like a den, maybe even a drug den.
Suddenly, the piles of trash began to rustle. These were huge rats that had made entire tunnels in the trash. I wanted to run away from the stench and the general atmosphere.
It wasn't exactly what I was looking for... but I think this kind of content might be interesting to someone.
Thank you for sharing these moments with me! Until new stories and new holidays!
All photos were taken by me personally - I am a beginner photographer, so I ask professionals not to judge strictly.
