The tattoo'd lady.

Many people think of Bangkok's notorious Nana Plaza area as a nighttime haunt for single (and oftentimes married) men looking for a good time. It is certainly a great place for people watching.

In fact Nana rarely if ever actually shuts. It maybe quietens down around 4am as the bars have closed, but not the unofficial bamboo carts that have set-up for those looking for a last drink or nightcap before going home. It also catches the disco-goers at 5am as they wend their merry way home (or to others' homes, or hotels).

But come 7 or 8am bars open again, hoping to catch the foreign maybe hungover tourist seeking a cheap breakfast, more often than not an English breakfast with toast and coffee or tea; the "full monty". It's not unusual to see westerners with a beer in hand as early as this, perhaps trying the hare of the dog remedy; or perhaps they are just off the plane, and bodyclocks have not adjusted to the Bangkok timezone.

In any event, even during daytime Nana is great for people (and girl) watching.
