Some of those "managers" have ended up in the monkey house under the auspices of being pimps. Invariably someone shows up with a brown bag full of brown notes and the misunderstanding is soon cleared up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sikishrory Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I always thought they were just installed to be a barrier between the owner. If you look at any news where a bar was shutdown or raided by police or something it's always the manager that seems to cop it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker88 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Having taken a walk down that wild side, I did notice most bars have a foreign 'manager', usually sitting with mates and drinking heavily. I cannot imagine the job pays much more than a (barely) living wage, and daily consumption of booze while sitting on one's backside cannot be good longer term. I seriously doubt any owner would go to the trouble of getting his manager a work permit, so that manager---while doing his body no good---is a fish-in-a-barrel target should any law enforcement officer (who apparently do not enforce laws against prostitution, which unlike agogos takes place on the premises) be in need of some spending money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, merely a common tourist fantasy. Possible to form relationships, of course. Managers have been known to take a girl out of the bar and give her another job as personal girlfriend. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecyclist Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 A couple of years the Nightwish group had an ad out,can't remember where exactly, looking for managers. Requirements were conversational in English, being able to hold your liquor, and being sociable, as you had to converse with and "entertain" Farangs that weren't there just for the sex.Speaking Thai and other farang languages was a plus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JimTripper Posted November 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) I never want to see or talk to a bar manager when I walk into a bar. Ditto for restaurants. That's not why I'm there. The worst are the ones who act real friendly and kind of schmooze the crowd. It always comes across as pitiful to me, like they are begging for repeat customers.

Farang mate's wife's auntie used to have a salon/laundry halfway up the soi so I only know it as "Chaiyapoom" or however it's spelt. I guess Pothole is easier to say than the Thai name, and it is a busted-up heap of crap so the name fits. PS. Why do they call it Excite? Just kidding, I am that old 😹 Used to be a Club on 2 nd road on that soi also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
