A pub overlooking Peckham Rye. It's an old-style bar which has been given a bit of a makeover. However, they've got it just right in not changing too much. It's spacious enough with solid wooden tables at dining hight and a fire in winter.

The main bar is now non-smoking but there's a space out back for the chokers and in summer they open a huge beer garden.

Best of all is the food. Great varied menu featuring mezes, Thai/Chinese food, burgers, salads and roasts.

There's also a decent range of wines.

It's not that cheap but it's worth it for a treat or just to get a seat.

Great club with three floors with different flavours of music on each. Big with the student crowd but it is fairly eclectic all round. Open past 1am at weekends. There's a small cover charge overseen by the most friendly bouncers on Earth(really) and the drinks are priced at a song compared to anywhere but Laos. A winner.

It's bar/beach hut accomodation. Really great food, particularly the seafood - the best marinated shark ever. Very relaxed and friendly staff will often let you put on your own music and the owner Cyril isn't unknown to host the occasional quiz. Oh, and I met my girlfriend there!

The traffic in BKK is awful and can be at least partially avoided by using the riverboat system. For budgeteers out there the nearest one to Koh San is Tha Pra Atit. The boats operate on a flag system. So you need to look on the map at the pier and figure out which coloured flag boat goes to your destination or indeed stops at the pier you are standing on (you may need to ferry to another pier to get a faster boat). So when the boat arrives look for the flag on the top - if it matches the colour you want then hop on. A conductor clicking a money tray open and closed will come round and take your fare and it helps to have change. Different boats have different prices but they're all dirt cheap. When you arrive at your stop get ready to leap off the boat as they don't tie up for long!! If you are really brave there are boats which traverse the city's canals but good luck with that one.

It's a bar in Central Oslo. Best music and a cool crowd. It's also one of the few places in Oslo that has a fair few people drinking midweek. Stuffed at weekends and loads of talent. Get the beers in!

Midsummer is the time that everyone clears out of the cities. I made the mistake of going to Gothenberg at this time and the place was like a morgue. Even 7-11's were closed. Had to resort to the Hard Rock Cafe...good God!

It's a bar near Koh San road that plays the best blues and has a cool range of cocktails. It was my local when I taught English there and I was never out of the place. Try the flatliner cocktails - guaranteed to make your night go faster!! Mr Sharkey

It's a restaurant come guesthouse situated in Trok Mayom which is an alley that runs parallel to Koh San Road. It does by far and away the best food in that area and they also sell wine by the glass which is difficult to find. For those not yet used to the delights of firey food it does a fab western menu in tandem to the best currys I have ever tasted (try the Massaman). As a guesthouse it's not great but it is cheap.
