Maybe its my hang over or perhaps the smoke in my eyes but this seems very pointed at Farangs.

I read the quit smoking book which is supposed to be the best way to quit but I still smoke. However, if I was still in Australia I think I would of given up. Cigs here are just too cheap and taste better than the pollution which must be worse for you.

I do also know that when my wife and I decide to have a baby we will not smoke well except for the cigar at birth and thats me not her.

With my hangover I always say never again but I know I'll be at the cat house tonight chugging on Chang. Saying why. But hey thats life.

With the present climate in Thailand (and more so Bangkok) regarding late night drinking *(make that anything to do with alchahol ) you could not have picked a worse time to even think about a late venue, let alone getting away with it. (legal or not) When the law came in for closing at 2pm many people then (including Thai's) thought thet had sussed an easy way around it by selling (food) rice porridge as well as drinks. Never seen that idea take off.

The guy thats running the show again for the next four years will no doubt make this even harder for any hair brained schemes to try and surface.

Your passion for this idea though, reminds me of that king Canute that sat on the shore trying to command the waves to stop.

Your constant down treading and whinging reminds me of someone who works for the tourist police.

Or perhaps someone who has just given up on life in general. Should we just pull the plug doctor. His life is over.

What a load of pie in the sky. Listen if well established bar owners (Thai at that) cannot get around this early closing game, what chance does some dumb fresh of the boat farang have ?

Some dumb fresh of a boat Farang. Mmmm

You don't know me then.

Some of you think cause you been here longer you know ohhh soooo much. You have no idea of my background and I do take offence with a smile to what you say.

At least I have not resigned myself to a dull life like some and honestly believe there are ways to have this work. You don't break rules you work within them to your advantage.

If you read the poll all I was doing was putting feelers out getting an idea if there was a need. Thats all

Just interested to know as I have some very good legal ideas about operating long hours.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Such as?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well that would be telling.

Just want to get an idea of numbers first.

Have to see how it goes first.

There are a few places about but you've got to be ITK ....

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well, theres the thing I'm not and by the looks of it a few others aren't either.

At least I got something to do for the holidays now.

LOL

O.K maybe not clear.

I live here in BKK and for one have a partner and 2 have expat friends here. Sure, I can go to places but when the bars closes my friends and I don't always just want to go home. We would like to carry on in our happy state. How cool to have a place to drink, play pool and converse. Hopefully, with like minded people. A place that has good djs and some chill out areas too.

Hopefully, this makes more sense.

Coming from Oz we don't usually go out until 11pm and well 4am (read next night for a big night out :-))) ) was a standard time to go home.

Am interested in setting something up here that will work and be within the boundries of the law.

Just putting out feelers at mo.

Cheers

Just interested to know as I have some very good legal ideas about operating long hours. Not going to be a pick up place but more somewhere for expats and friends to go after the bars close. Looking for some feedback only at this stage. Don't really want tourists as such.

And now the systems shut for a week.

Thats great. Not too sure how it works o/seas but to close for an entire week.

Thank god it has only added an xtra 20mintues to my day. Feel sorry for peeps going say from Bang Sue to Silom etc.

Thank god no one was hurt too badly.
