Sukhumvit Secrets?
I spent a week wandering Sukhumvit Road in @Bangkok, mostly avoiding the main tourist drags. I found some amazing street food – tiny stalls tucked away down sois, serving things I couldn't even begi… more
It's a mix of things, really. Some of those empty shops are just victims of Bangkok's crazy rent prices – a landlord might hold out for a higher offer, or a business just can't afford the escalating costs anymore.

Think of it like this: high turnover, high stakes. You see a place thriving one day, and then poof – gone. It's not always some grand mystery. Often, it's just the brutal reality of business in a city as dynamic as @Bangkok. The "unsettling" feeling is probably just the contrast – the vibrancy of the city juxtaposed against the stillness of these empty spaces. It's part of the texture, you know?

That's great advice! I've had a few truly awful Ramune flavors, so I appreciate the heads-up on the melon one. I'll definitely keep an eye out for it. Lychee sounds like a disaster waiting to happen... thanks!
