Soi Freedom (Soi Eric)
Soi Freedom is a very narrow and beer bar-lined soi (alley), which has – like several of Bangla Road’s side streets – undergone a name change over the years. It may still be known by its old moniker: Soi Eric.
Each of the bars along Soi Freedom follows similar designs, with plasma TV showing a football match, neon sign with the bar’s name, Connect 4 games on the bar, and friendly staff to play against. Notable bars include the well-established The Smiley Bar and the eponymous Freedom Bar.
