ImageDude Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I had a rather unpleasant experience in a Loy Kroh Road bar last weekend. I had a friend visiting me from the UK. We decided to have a long weekend in the big city. On the first night we went into a bar which was situated near the Entertainment Centre but actually on Loy Kroh road. There were 3 ladies standing outside and 1 lady behind the bar. There were no customers inside the bar. Because it was quiet we went inside and ordered a beer, the 3 ladies from outside came in and asked for us to buy them a drink. We politely declined stating that we would not be staying long because we wanted to check out other newly opened bars, the ladies stayed with us having a general chit-chat. During this exchange the lady from behind the bar came to stand with the others. We didn’t notice that another person was now behind the bar but we soon did notice. It was a ladyboy who shouted at us, if you are not buying lady drinks then get out of my bar. Huh! At first we thought it was a joke, but no, the ladyboy was really angry and told us to settle the bill and get out and do it now, so we did! The only comfort we got that was during the whole weekend not surprisingly, we never saw another customer in that bar. I have been in Thailand for 20 years and never encountered that behaviour in any bar! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad you were unable to find more comfort than that during the whole weekend. Wouldn't your UK friend even hold your hand? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kenny202 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 Always read these stories with wonder as the ladyboys in Thailand I have met have been some of the kindest, nicest intelligent people I have come across here. Having said that stories everyday of theft and violence in Pattaya and Bangkok. I have found bars generally have degenerated to that last 5-8 years, particularly in Bkk. used to be fun places. I have had the same experience as you in several bars where you were hit up almost immediately you walked up the steps before you even sat down and then abused or death stared. Last time by some maniacal skinny middle aged thing looked like she was off her trolley on drugs. But most of the girls just sat out the front with their heads buried in their phones. You couldn't get their attention if you wanted to. Management doesn't seem to care or do anything much either, for this behavior or having your check bin loaded up. I always wonder if it is me that has become jaded or the bars have really lost their shine. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been in Thailand for 20 years and never encountered that behaviour in any bar! I used to live in that area between Loy Kroi and Thapae. I never saw that sort of behavior. With that attitude? Settle your bill, leave. Never go back. Make others aware of the behavior so they can avoid it. The destruction of the bar and pub industry wasn't caused by farang. They should be happy that farang are showing up again. Aggressiveness? That ain't gonna cut it. Aggressiveness toward farang should be rewarded with boycotts of their bars and pubs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post arithai12 Posted July 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2022 If you didn't really want to stay in that bar, why did you go? Wasn't it clear enough that it's a place where people buy ladies' drinks, did you genuinely think it was a sort of english pub where you order a pint and be left alone? Weren't you the rude one in the first place by telling them that you wanted to go to newer bars? And what was the big tragedy: the owner asked you pay the bill and leave, which is exactly what you had intended to do in the first place. So we was angry at you, it never happened in 20 years, oh the ignominy. I'd say he was right, you were chatting with a number of ladies without paying even one drink. btw, I have never visited a bar in that road and it would be the last of my ideas for a "long weekend in the big city", but then again de gustibus... 2 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say, haven't been in a bar since Siem Reap the day before the borders closed (March 2020). All my pals died or left Thailand before then. But prior to that I had some good nights out in LK, don't mind buying a lady drink for a woman under 35 years old and weighing under 50Kg. Usually any problems (for me) in LK bars are caused by white male tourists, not hookers or LBs. Edited July 3, 2022 by BritManToo 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must say I agree with you re the patrons more badly behaved that the girls and in many ways you can see how they become the way they do. And I don't mind buying a lady a drink either particularly if I have welcomed her company but I don't think anyone likes buying drinks from someone who just demands them. Most of the time I would rather go in, order a beer and have a look around. If there is someone there who catches my eye or I would like to get to know I will let her know. They seem to do this well at the beer garden near nana Bangkok. You have to initiate contact. The place is always full. I don't expect the LB bar to last very long with an attitude like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacessit Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Haven't been to a bar in Loy Kroh for 7 or 8 years. I'm wondering if there are fresh girls, or mothers who have become grandmothers. Unfortunate for the OP and his friend. perhaps he can take comfort from knowing with that kind of pushy and aggressive attitude, the bar won't last long.

I don't exactly have a big sample size, because I usually don't go to this type of bar, but from my experience: Buying a drink for yourself basically gives you the right to sit in the bar. If a girl comes over and you want her to stay, or if you call a girl over, you are then supposed to buy her a drink. If she feels she isn't getting enough drinks for her time, then she might go somewhere else. If you aren't interested in any of the girls then that's no problem, they leave you alone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I believe I know the bar you are talking about as I had a similar experience there last year. I ended up writing an email to the owner who responded: You just don't like Ladyboys. Clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a few to be found, and if you want to sit in a particular bar that has none in view, you ask the woman behind the bar nicely, and she'll order one in for you.
