I have always wanted to know.....why must it be a secret what they look like?

If they can not be shown why use their 'photograph' at all?

A bit like someone being inteviewed on the radio and they say 'Mary, not her real name.....', only the people who actually know her will recognise her voice.

Looking at the image of the bill, the total should have been 135 baht + 95 baht = 230 Baht.  He may have been in shock from being undercharged!

You should have gone to Specsavers !   LOL

Looks like there were two drinks on the bin and maybe he bought a "lady " drink.  Perhaps he then didn't like the company and tried to leave in protest.

Yes, looks like he unintentionally bought a lady drink.

I once thought that I got short changed in a 7-11 but after a discussion with the cashier we realised that the item was labeled with the wrong price, so I paid the extra 2 Baht that it cost and went on my way.

 

Should my incident have its own thread or is this news too hot to handle.

I thought something along that line... A maiden got a lady drink out of him due to miscommunication, and the guy refused the total of the bill because of that 'drink he did not order'...

Good thing he wasn't looking for a prostitute - there aren't any in Pattaya!

Typical Korean. He probable had twice the annual salary for most Thais in his pocket. For some reason Koreans always feel that the rules apply to everyone but them.

The goons who normally handle an irate customer were preoccupied with a farang who balked at paying a 30,000 baht bar tab when he only had two beers...

I presume that is an attempt at humour, but I know Lucky Star Bar well, and there are no "goons", and no one gets ripped off there by the bar staff.

$4.50 for a beer? what's the world coming to!

Many of the problems existing in this lawless town are:

 

1. The selling or serving alcohol to people that appear intoxicated.

2. No liability for people who sell/serve alcohol to people that appear intoxicated. (See 4.).

3. Lack of training to people who sell/serve alcohol as to how to identify people who appear to be intoxicated.

4. Corruption.

5. Pathetic consequences if one causes trouble when intoxicated. (See 4.).

 

There are those that may say, that these are the reasons to drink; to become falling down drunk, soil your pants with urine and feces, passout at bars or on the street, pick fights, become victims because of an inability to make wise decisions and on and on.

 

The bar scene in Pattaya is run by corruption, greed and ignorance. Where else can you drink yourself into oblivion, passout as the bar, wakeup and carry on? Certainly not in the home countries of many of the drunkards roaming and driving scooters hereabouts.

 

This town is not lawless compared to European and USA cities.
