THE WEST ENTRANCE
The lane begins on the main strip. Shark remains Walking Street-owned because its current address is the corner and main frontage, not an interior Soi Diamond row.

SOI
DIAMOND
Soi Diamond is the short side-soi leaving Walking Street toward Second Road. This page separates 11 records from the main-strip roster, including a documented 2015 closure and identities that still need a current check.

HOW THIS ZONE WORKS
Soi Diamond is close enough to be casually called part of Walking Street, but proximity is not ownership. The street has its own inward turn, smaller scale and roster. The final audit checked all 66 records previously owned by Walking Street and separated venue addresses from phrases such as “near,” “opposite” or “at the corner.”
Three records met the test. Windmill’s own site describes its Soi Diamond location. Club Electric Blue has a current Soi Diamond listing. Vicky’s Secret is the former Milk on the same lane. They now appear only here, and Walking Street carries a handoff rather than repeating their rows.
Two boundary cases stay with Walking Street. Shark occupies the main-street corner at the former Diamond Arcade, so its usable frontage and current identity remain on the main strip. Sapphire’s official address is Soi 15; a secondary Diamond entrance does not justify moving the whole venue into two rosters.
The eleven-record result is an editorial side-soi snapshot, not a claim that eleven doors are currently operating. Casino Club is retained as a status record because dated reporting documents its 2015 closure; other rows carry their own evidence dates.
// 02 — THE CLOCK
THE NIGHT, HOUR BY HOUR
10:00
AUSSIE BAR OPENS
The June listing for Aussie Bar starts early and runs long. That schedule is venue-specific; most of the lane is not a daytime destination.
19:00
THE SIDE-SOI WAKES
Electric Blue opens and the Windmill group enters its evening phase. The Walking Street gate is the easiest orientation for a first pass.
21:00
THE FULL OVERLAP
Coke, Dreams Fantasy 1, Nice and the other evening rooms align. Compare the compact lane before choosing a longer stay.
STATUS
DO NOT RELY ON CASINO CLUB
Dated reporting records Casino Club's closure in 2015. No current operator page supported the former 22:00–06:00 schedule.
// 03 — THE MAP
FOUR REFERENCE POINTS
THE CORE LANDMARK
Windmill's operator verifies two floors, not two separate buildings. Windmill and Club Electric Blue are assigned to this side-soi roster rather than duplicated on Walking Street.
THE NARROW EXIT
The lane continues toward Second Road. Use this side for ride access when Walking Street is pedestrianised, but save the exact pickup point.
SAPPHIRE STAYS NEXT DOOR
Sapphire’s official address is Soi 15 and it also advertises a newer Diamond entrance. Its primary ownership remains Walking Street, with this page carrying only a handoff.
// 04 — THE ROUTE
HOW TO MOVE THROUGH IT
Enter from Walking Street if you are already on the main strip. The side-soi turn is short, but note which venue you want before going inside. Windmill's operator describes two floors; Electric Blue is a separate nearby room.
For a ride, the Second Road side can be more practical while Walking Street is pedestrianised. Do not ask a driver merely for “Walking Street” when the destination is deep in the lane. Save the venue pin and confirm which end gives the cleanest approach.
Use the handoffs deliberately. Shark and Sapphire stay in the Walking Street guide; they are not repeated here. Do not depend on Casino Club: the current evidence is a dated closure record, not an operating schedule.
A route can start with the ordinary bars and Le Pub, then use named 19:00–20:30 opening records rather than a zone-wide clock. Vicky’s Secret's May 2026 opening report advertised selected drinks at 100 THB; that dated offer belongs to one venue and is not a current lane-wide price. Windmill's two floors count as one venue identity.
// 05 — THE BRIEFING
KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
№ 01
Price convention
The roster mixes a pub, ordinary bars, show-led rooms and an after-hours club. There is no defensible lane-wide menu; check customer drinks, promotions and extras separately.
№ 02
Pressure
A short dense lane can produce repeated invitations. Keep the bill in view, ask before agreeing to anything separately priced and leave any room that feels uncomfortable.
№ 03
Ownership rule
Windmill, Electric Blue and Vicky’s Secret now belong only to Soi Diamond. Walking Street names the handoff but does not repeat their roster rows.
№ 04
Boundary cases
Shark stays Walking Street-owned at the corner. Sapphire stays Walking Street-owned under its Soi 15 address despite offering an additional Diamond entrance.
№ 05
Mixed-status snapshot
The 11 entries include open, closed and unresolved records. The count is a roster size, not a current-open count.
// 06 — THE MIXED-STATUS LIST
THE WORKING ROSTER
This 11-record roster includes a documented closure and identities that were not independently rechecked. It is not a claim that every row is open tonight.

SOI DIAMOND FAQ
Is Soi Diamond part of Walking Street?
It is a side-soi directly off Walking Street, but this guide gives its 11 records a separate roster while the main strip carries a handoff. The 11 include closed and unresolved identities.
Which venues moved from Walking Street to Soi Diamond?
Windmill, Club Electric Blue and Vicky’s Secret moved after their Soi Diamond locations were confirmed. They are not duplicated on Walking Street.
Why do Shark and Sapphire remain on Walking Street?
Shark uses the main-strip corner frontage. Sapphire’s official address is Soi 15, although it also advertises an additional entrance from Soi Diamond.
What time is best for Soi Diamond?
Named current records overlap around 20:00–00:00, but no zone-wide peak was measured. Casino Club's former 22:00–06:00 claim is withdrawn because dated reporting records its 2015 closure.
Can I reach Soi Diamond from Second Road?
Yes. The lane links the Walking Street side toward Second Road, and the inland end can be more practical for vehicle access after dark.

What we could not confirm: The claim that Windmill operates two separate buildings — Final attempt 2026-08-02: the operator page still says two floors and does not support separate buildings. Casino Club's stated 22:00 to 06:00 schedule — Final attempt 2026-08-02: no current operator or dependable dated source for the exact 22:00-06:00 schedule was found. Independent confirmation that all 11 roster identities are currently operating — Final attempt 2026-08-02: the bounded recheck supports Windmill and Club Electric Blue but not all 11 identities, so no lane-wide current-operation claim is made.
