Bad Motel: Good Vibes
Page 14 www.bangkokscene.com
Thonglor s New Music Pub is a Success on all Levels Bad Motel opened with a blast on Saturday night (March 23rd) when Colonial, Basement Tape, Slow Reverse, Electric Neon Lamp, Jan Aerolips, Gramaphone Children, Cyndi Seui, DJ Paulie and DJ Moola provided sounds to suit all tastes. The four storey venue features an airconditioned cocktail lounge on the ground floor, a spacious garden restaurant, an upstairs music station, guest accommodation on floor three and another music zone on the roof top bar. Within metres of the trendy J Avenue, Bad Motel is well positioned to join the list of varied nightspots that Thonglor now boasts, all within easy walking distance of one another. The venue seems uncomplete from the outside, finished as it is with a wall damaged look. Some punters will appreciate the down and dirty atmosphere provided by the upper storey bars, but the cocktail lounge down below is as swanky as any of the city s chilled out haunts, with a cocktail list designed to excite, and imported ales on tap.

Musk Love Galerie N’s Romantic Collection
Eleven artists have collaborated to put together an exhibition entitled Musk Love at Galerie N in Witthayu Road. The participating artists are Warawoot Chusangthong, Vasan Sitthike, Nawin Biadklang, Thanarit Thipwaree, P7, Dang Buasan, Theekawut Boonvijit, Kwanchai Sinpru, Bussaraporn Thongchai, Punnapohp Boonkate and Widsanupong Noonan. The established and emerging artists have been encouraged to explore the meaning of scent and love and the effects they have on each and every one of us. Each human has a certain body scent/odour that often attracts the opposite sex. These scents are not clearly visible or tangible but lovers somehow sense them. Musk has been used as a popular perfume fixative since ancient times. It was a name originally given to a substance with a penetrating odour obtained from a gland of the male musk deer. You can catch the individual interpretations at Galerie N until April 30th. Kwanchai Sinpru Words and photos by Paul Hutton.
