Tell that to the American who annoyed the hotel on Ko Chang with his online complaints. Got locked up and then I think deported. Doesn't happen often, agreed.

The only thing I was aware of from those times were katoeys robbing people walking alone on Beach Rd after closing time.

Thai Criminal Code Section 326, that is defamation. Although section 330 may be a get out.

Genesis 1 does not give proof for either argument.

Well he had no confidence in getting there.

Please save your acerbic posts for your neighbours..

Do you expect him to be on the front line, like Putin.? Oh, er.............

Singha Light is now MyBeer and is 4.5 abv not the 3.5 as previous. There is also San Mig Zero, 0% sugar and carbs, 3%abv and I think 60 calories. Not too much of it about though.

I think you are referring to San Mig Light only.

Not me, I just like pouring it down my throat and getting a decent glow. A reduced alcohol content means for me I can have a decent session, not fall over and not be bad in the morning.

Never claimed anything of the sort. And that emoji does you no credit.

Last time I went past there seemed to be builders working inside.

I am not mistaken, I remember it clearly from the one time I went. My experience differs from yours. No big deal.

Well I was only there the once in 97 and it was 700 for the "room" and 400 for in the bar.

Never heard of Leo light. But I only drink in bars, resto's etc and they don't have the wide range that shops do. Never seen the pleasure in sitting drinking at home.

Try Pattaya Loyal RSC fb page, they are trying to get something organised.

A lot of them think the wine and biscuit has literally been changed into the body and blood of the aforesaid gent. And those who queried it would be burnt at the stake.

I can't stay away when I'm in BKK, I just like those old bars even though most of their customers have long since moved on. And as someone pointed out they charge 120 for a 320 ml Thai beer. But I'm not there 4 or 5 times a week putting 8 pints away.

Yes prices went up a bit. My one visit in 97 I was quoted 700 for the "private room" aka the cleaner's cupboard or 400 in the bar.

Bobby's Arms. No that is long gone Bill, must be 20 years ago. Nice enough place, I had a couple there my first night in Bangkok. Old Other Office is still going, at least it was about 2 months ago.

I plead innocence, I wonder if they will re-open and if the prices have gone up since 97. I am sure a small Heineken was 80 baht. ????

I remember in my very early days seeing it and thinking "ah, looks like a convivial little alehouse, I'll have one in here."

Good point, they have contributed to their own downfall. Just a shame to see the end of the Madrid, and to see the Crown Royal doing next to nowt. Nothing like them anywhere else in Bangkok. Would anyone open a bar as "quirky" or as "quaint" as The Old Other Office".?

I feel for the owners and customers of the lovely old bars. And for those who never experienced them and think Bangkok means theme pubs, well good luck to you. Go-go's and live sex shows never my thing, preferred a few drinks and find a darling of my own for the night.

Folk Guitar I find your last 2 sentences interesting, having heard variations on the theme before. The adherents of the organisation you mention tend to deny it however. (some others say the statues were just renamed). Any source you can mention or recommend.?
