Bush Garden...You can watch ...
Years ago there was a small bar complex in the vicinity called Clinton Plaza. One of the bars there was called Monica's, and the sign had a silhouette of a busty babe smoking a large cigar.
It never really caught on and was scrapped along the other attempts to create new girlie areas in the Lower Suk: Soi Zero, and Sukhumvit Square near Soi 10. The latter was spectacularly razed to the ground, as described in this Wikipedia entry:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuwit_Kamolvisit#%22Sukhumvit_Square%22_incident
In January 2003, Chuwit was accused of hiring around 600 men to raze several bars, shops, a laundry and a travel agency on "Sukhumvit Square", a plot of land he owns on Sukhumvit Soi 10. This was an apparent attempt to remove the low-rent tenants so that the land could be developed. The tenants believed they had valid leases from another company and were not notified of the raid, which took place early on a Sunday morning. Chuwit was arrested and spent a month in prison.
The police, whom he says he had bribed an average US$160,000 a month over 10 years, refused to protect him, so he went public, releasing the names of the top officers, the sums they were paid, and their frequent visits to his six massage parlors. He also claimed that "VIP" policemen received free service in his parlours, an allegation that was later confirmed in interviews with some of the masseuses. Following an investigation, several prominent policemen were suspended or demoted.
Bush Garden was created after "Dubya" was elected in 2004 and survives to this day.
