Offensive Sign

[Payboy]

Nothing wrong with lecherous lizards. They keep the flies away.

[TwoDogz]

I think the only time a woman may find that notice offensive, if she were a freelancer out on the pull.

Could prove bad for business and perhaps that establishment have had problems in the past and this is the reason that notice is displayed?

Two young professional Thai women decide to drop by for a Gin and Tonic and are pointed towards the sign.....can you explain to them why they cannot have a drink at a bar in their own town please?

Can't trust anyone...they could be in disguise.

CC's was a place a few of us used to go to to avoid all the HALLO HANDSOM man calls and the prats trying to shove perv adverts in your face. It was nice to sit down and have a beer and chat before once more diving back into the dens of eniquity( is that spelt rite ),? (have I got the question mark in the right place ) ?

No one took it seriously, meaning, lets go there for a cheap beer, it was just an easy place to sit without getting all the usual crap thrown in your face, although at the time I was going there you quite often got skimmed by a car going through the Soi, believe it now is a no car street.

Not a place to take seriously, not a place to take someone to impress them, just a good place to grab a beer and a chat, nothing more.

Can remember a huge rat that sometimes made an appearance among all the crap on the wall, just added interest and could often promote a change in the direction of the conversation.

Ah, the good old days, but now even Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.

No two professional Thai women would be seen in a place like that. I've been there with mates but would never take a g/f.

Thank you for speaking on behalf of all "professional" Thai women.....

I've worked with many professional Thai women in Times Square, Central Chidlom and Wireless Road and if any of the young women wanted a drink they most definitely wouldn't go to Cheap Charlies or anywhere near it. Have you seen the type of men that hang around that area?

The only women the would want to drink there are ones on the game.

You must work in a convent. There are many bars and clubs on soi 11 frequented by 'professional' women. Bed supper club, Q bar to name but two.

To be honest, it was about 10 - 15 years ago, it may have/probably has changed. I can't remember any of those clubs you mention.

[Johnniey]

Paragon of bigotry, you mean.

From the 3 locations he's given for his "working with professionals" I'd guess he's a 300B p/h TEFLer so what would you expect....?

How on earth do you figure that out? Actually you are correct with one of the places but more 700 B p/h.

Please explain how TEFLers are paragons of bigotry.

If you want a debate about the integrity of TEFLers and sexpats in that area, I'd be glad to join.

Isn't Cheap Charlies just down form the Pickled Liver?

I don't really know the streets around there, so I'd rather not comment on the type of ladies, or gentlemen, or signs, that you might see around there..

An area you haven't been to in 15 years? I'm sure you'll be able to offer a wealth of relative experience to the debate.

I do have one question though. Why is it that after work all professionals remove their ties except for TEFLs? You can spot an English teacher a mile off by the sheen of nylon strips hanging down from their stubbly chins.

so you are willing to post definitively on the basis of 10 year old information.

As i explained earlier the sign at cheap charlies was put up on the insistence of the family who owns the majority of the sub soi and the guest house.

when they built the guesthouse, they chased out the existing massage places and told sathit to moderate his clientele or lose his business

Why do people feel the need to talk about TEFLs in derogatory terms? You might have got a sensible answer if you asked "Why don't TEFLs take their ties off?" I normally remove my tie if I'm driving, as I don't want to look too Lee Brilleaux in case there's sharp-eyed coppers about.

I have absolutely no idea, if the question was aimed at me. Maybe it could be that they are new to town and not used to wearing a tie as they were formerly a bus driver or butcher.

Maybe it's just your perception.

Anyways I thought all us farang looked the same to you Thais.

Q bar set up about that time. Zanzibar was definitely there at that time as was the German beer place just after Suk 11. Plenty of places for professional ladies to frequent. Funny though that you think your experiences from 13 years ago would be relevant today even if they weren't there at that time. Which they were...

Last time I was there was maybe 6 years ago, so obvoiusly can't comment on todays status.

That whole soi has probably changed, just like everything else. That is not a cry to say I wish things were the way they were by the way.

In 15 years time there will be people posting on this or similar sites with the old " ee not as good when ah were a lad". See, Scottish accent always comes out,

I try not to take things seriously, there's enough of that sh-t flying around the world as it is.

My outlook is to enjoy what time is left to me.

If I want to I can go to an expensive restaurant or I can go to a cheap bar, if I enjoy the experience in both and someone asks me about it I will tell them the truth, but with the statement that, " I enjoyed it, why don't you try it, maybe you will or maybe you won't, up to you !

Just thought I'd finish on a well known phrase or saying.

That is basically how I've treated the place. It is a good place to go for a relaxed chat, and incredibly, it is actually a reasonable place to meet people without too much formality. I've gone there with Thai's, but obviously it is a bit of a farang hang out for those not on the pull.

The whole subsoi has undergone a bit of a rennaisance, with Tapas bars and the like taking over from the tired old pubs and Indian restuarants. A nice little oasis in what is otherwise the craphole known as lower Sukhumvit, where freelancers and their not so classy clientel tend to avoid.
