One of Bangkok’s oldest and original cabaret bars Check Inn 99 is set to close at the beginning of July after the owners and landlord failed to reach an agreement on extending the lease.

Plans to convert the upper floors into an upmarket hostel / budget accommodation had been discussed too but when no agreement could be reached, the landlord gave the owners just four weeks to vacate the premises.

2016 would have seen Check Inn 99 celebrating their Diamond Anniversary but for now Chris and Mook plan on having as much fun in the time that remains for the Sukhumvit Road venue.

We can dwell on the negatives – for me that is not worth the emotional effort. I am focused on re-building the wonderful environment we have created here over the last six years and protecting the staff and band from adverse impact. For those who know Mook and I ..it will happen. Personally I would like to repeat one the most powerful platitudes in Thai culture the phrase Mai Pen Rai ไม่เป็นไร (don’t worry!).

To vacate this wonderful heritage bar and relocate to a new location will not be cheap and we are not shy in saying we will need help. (Any communication or interest in being part of a future plan – please send us a private message cattoc@gmail.com).

Over the next month we will need to boost our cash reserves – so you will see a lot of events and parties – please support us so that we can build our buffer and move forward with success.

Please join us for the next four Sundays.. particularly 26 Jun where we intend to jam the roof off to say good bye to the old venue. 

Last orders will be called on Tuesday 5th July. Let’s hope a new location can be found sooner rather than later and Check Inn 99 can come back bigger and better than ever.
