Sign O The Times

[Pattaya Spotter]

Was driving home on Beach Road tonite and at the Walking Street curve saw a serving girl holding up a signboard advertising iBar's B 39 happy hour drinks...how low will they go...will they soon be serving free drinks in the hope punters pay a barfine?

Great thread. Would read again.

Ibar has been selling 39 baht beers for the last 3-4 years to my knowledge, so sign of the times is no inflation or discount due to pandemic lol

I'm waiting for the new con

Wasn't alcohol advertising banned a while back?

I just wonder where the "punters" should come from, as there are no Airlines serving Europe to Thailand.
I suppose the "punters" will have to come from the Isaan. Resident Isaan-Farangs. Slim pickings, as their budget is usually controlled by their "Thai-Wifey's".

If this Corona-Thing has any benefit, it is certainly the fact that the "Bar-Fine-Syndrome" has finally come to an end.

Correct, and they have always had the staff carrying signs up and down Walking Street.

 

Must admit, I thought there had to be a catch the first time I went, but the only one I could find was that there was no Leo, so had to make do with SML.

 

There was also no Beer Condoms, which was no problem as I carry my own.

 

Pizzas were decent for 99 baht also.

Yes...you are right my op conclusion was incorrect as it seems the price of 39 baht has nothing to do with the current Covid situation.

Yeah because before 10PM there is nobody in Ibar. Stay after 10pm and expect a very hefty bill.

I thought ibar was a freelance place without the bar fines you mentioned, I could

be wrong as I've only been in a couple of times and wasn't after company.
