Duangta Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Since the 19th of December a newly build Discotheque has opened in Bang Niang (Khao Lak/ Phangnga), the name is Zantika and the reminder of the burned down Bar/Pub/Disco in Bangkok is by any means not an accidental choice. Questioning the local Thais about the name, they all agreed that this is normal in the Land of Smiles, "because it was in the press already, so everybody knows the name". The resident band is called "Burn" (same like in BKK before). Let's hope that on 31.12.2009 there will be no indoor fireworks. My condolences to the victims and their families, if you ask me, this name should never have been used again for a Discotheque. http://www.khaolakbusinessindex.com/zantikapub.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinLOS Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Unreal.. Just when I thought I could no longer be surprised by crass choices here.. A new one trumps me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Any reason for this being in the phuket forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Any reason for this being in the phuket forum? I suppose because Phuket is not so far from Khao Lak and there is no appropriate forum for that specific area. Historically posts about the Khoa Lak area have been included in the Phuket forum.

richard_smith237 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Crass indeed... the words Immature, inconsiderate, careless and downright insulting also spring to mind. Bangkok has a hotel with a restaurant called Tsunami.... (the name existed before, Dec 2004 btw). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, at least the foreigners are staying a bit further away now, tourists reported shouting with handguns in front of the pub last night. It really is like the wild wild west. Where else in the (civilized?) world can you go out, get drunk, shoot some bullets (in the air presumably) and the coppers even back you up? Can't say out loud names who owns the place, but I reckon you can all guess.... Happy New Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 They should add a bunch of swastikas to their logo, and they would be cooking. Yes, this is an amazing story and yet another reminder we ain't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
