Many Bangkokians not living in the Sukhumvit area may not realise that there used to be a small park, named Chuvit Garden, at the entrance of Soi Sukhumvit 10.
Before it became a park, opened by former politician and massage parlour owner Chuvit Kamolvisit on Christmas Eve in 2005, the site was the hub of more than 60 beer bars, a favourite joint of male tourists who popped in for a late-night beer and chit chat with bar girls.
