"Beer Garden Girl Street 51" - ChrisColes

The Street 51 Beer Garden attracts hundreds of people every night, high to low to homeless street kids.....Expats, Khmers, backpackers, NGO-guys....hookers, ladyboys, staff and food vendors...no rules, no boundries, Premier League on plasma tv's, multiple music tracks, pool tables....it's funky and fun......but beneath the surface, there's a river of noir.........
