Absolute tripe. I think these poor people go to great lengths and the hygiene is perfectly fine. I'm never sick.

 

When I eat in the street I always drink the iced water. You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Perfectly fine.

 

Bangkok water out of the tap. No problems.

 

Routinely purchase discounted meat at Max Value 50% off. You know it's been sitting. Milk from Big C. Last day of expiration. Crack it open a week later. Takes a week for wife to finish it. Zero problems.

 

Another falang that can't handle Thailand on its own terms.

the real question is why you cannot afford the 1 baht reverse ozmosis water???

indians....

thailand now desperate.

Pattaya's decline may be bad news for the rest of Thailand as like rats abandoning a sinking ship...the lowest excuse for human beings will be scattering throughout the country...bring their no-morals criminal minds with them...yikes!  ????

mongering is over, It was just a phase.

find a new bad habit.

insanity lurks in places like Pattaya, That thai beer accelerates mental illnessand theres nothing else to do in Pattaya but drink drink and more drink.

i predict in the future the whole planet will be run by a massive dictatorship and the peoples opinion, free speech, votes will count for nothing.

with stong baht they can afford external travel, on a positive note.

2005 USD 40 baht.  Today 31.  Pound 73 baht today 39.  I've been here since 2005.  

Thing is majority of Thai people have no idea about how strong there currency is compared to the world and wouldnt care/understand if you told him.

He is saying the baht is very strong so farang punters are fewer and are spending less. These bars rely on farang punters. Thus, the owners, having laid out a lot of capital investment, are not getting the revenue and profits they expected.

If you think its bad now then wait for a year or two, That big comeback everyone is subconciously waiting for is never gonna come, Thais know this 100% They are just taking what they can, While they can.....

Gotta feel slightly sorry for this group who opened something like 20 bars on Soi 6. Must be savagely effecting the returns with Sterling Euro Aussie and New Zealand Dollar at horrendous levels who probably account for 90-95% plus of traditional visitors

Please in laymans terms.

Firstly being the gaffer of soi 6 corner bar, i hope admin allow a short reply to this, i take customer satisfaction and fairness very seriously and would welcome the op back to the bar, i am in the bar on a daily basis and have a duty manager, i have had the bar for 13 years and watch everything as much as you can, i know most of the regular customers on first name terms, i know the girls also many been with me for around 10 years, so this i find hard to believe, although it is thailand and im not daft so not saying it didnt happen as im old enough to know different, i haven't had a case like this for years and automatically the staff responsible and always a new member are dismissed, although i would be very interested in finding out more, i do have cctv system and electronic tills so EVERYONE who orders a drink gets the bill on the table which is all electronic and gives out exact time who served etc, so i dont understand the payg system you refer to, if that had happen on our till system it would be there in front of you, ie it would say 5 x san miquel light, nd 1 lipo? which is to be fair not what ya average girls drink anyways, sounds like a group of lads, you hand the bill you already know the amount its all clearly printed and money to the girl it cannot be added to?? we dont write hand written bills at all and havent for around 8 years so this cuts out any arguments that i have been subjected to in other establiments, for those reasons, posts such as these can be very damaging to a bar or indeed any business and anyone that knows me knows its not how we operate, ya dont get anywhere like that.

to sum up i really havent got a clue what has happened to you or where, but it dosnt sound like my bar which is mentioned above numerous times either way if you want call in im more than happy look into it and deal with it if indeed the problem is ours, Many thanks to the op and admin and readers.

chris.

 

Was alone that day as usual i Ordered one beer, Payed cash up front .

second beer i went to pay cash and all over a sudden this 500 THB bill was sitting there in my name.

I never run tabs for this reason, I always pay for my drink as it hits the palm of my hand, Never been bill padded in a decade of traveling in south east asia untill that day.

Face saving culture is on par with mental retardation.

mistakes can happen ?? but crooked bars need to be named and shamed...

fortunately most gogo bars  now have electronic bar tabs, i check mine reguarly, especially if buying drinks for more than one lady..i  once had a friend of the lady that i was drinking with--charge me for two bar fines x 600thb...i think she thought i was too boozed...not to know..

im never too boozed, not to know where my money is going.

when i complained, my lady quickly refunded me 1200 thb from her purse.

she had already received generous tips from me then and previously--knew it would not be wise to upset me..

generally, are find that most of the bars are very accurate when giving change , not like it used to be, a few years back

Mistakes do happen indeed.

ripoffs also.....

I have been drinkin in that bar since 2010 Christmas time when it was on the other side of the soi 6 , thats half a year months shy of a decade and they treat me like this.

There is no loyalty, No matter how rich you are, Thais want to make money and spend money TODAY, A million tomorow or ten baht today , A thai takes 10 THB .

See that bar was once a favourite, now sadly i will never return, If only Thais would learm that 500THB lpst them a decade long customer,

not to worry,  A new guy will come that they can pretend to be nice to and eventually ripoff .

rinse and repeat.

Actually they seem to be bill padding quite a few blokes who arent in the " Clique ".

nothing against those expats who run in that tight circle as the all come across  as friendly.

its more the one particularly sour faced cashier , You will notice here instantly if you sit at the bar near the pool table, Never smiles unless shes ripping you off, Just a strong miserable frown.

AVOID

i know thailand bar scene very well mate , ive spent over 2 million baht in them, Dont doubt me.

Mistakes can happen. If you don´t complain they can´t correct them. Give them a chance. I would do. 

doubt it.

cheap as chips here in OZ , any chance of making a profit ? maybe perfumes or beaty products, selling them to thai ladys and lady boys???

just an idea. Please dont hate me for trying.....

SCREAM BLOODY MURDER!!!!!!

We have a two pronged attack - weak pound and strong baht. Oil up for 35 ...... it's on the way. 

even my old mate who lived in thailand for years now chooses bali for holidays.

I'd say retirees of all nationalities are quite over the onerous visa regulations. Speaking for myself, there is still a lot to like about Thailand. However, the Thai authorities may take one step too far, in which case there are other destinations in SE Asia for me.

I do find it somewhat annoying I may have wasted my time becoming reasonably proficient in Thai.

if you got money just overstay
