After my second trip to Phuket, I have to say I saw one of the worst bar game ideas that I sincerely hope and pray never makes it to Pattaya. I am talking about the metal hammer and nail game where you take turns swinging the hammer trying to knock the nails into the large piece of wood. Metal hammers, nails, drunks? Geez!

A nail gun would be much more efficient. Just disable the automatic setting and the drunks in Patts wouldn't do too much damage.

Played that in the Sailor bar in Soi 8 20 years ago

Beat me to it...........

Long time since its been gone though

OP, since this seems to be some new game to you.

Where you're from, do they have color tv already ?

They still have that stupid bar game up there in hiso Phuket! Don't worry, its been around for years and if for whatever reason the Pattaya bar owners haven't embraced it by now they never will.

It's been and gone in Pattaya, many years since. Just shows how far behind the times Phuket really is.

getting hammerd in a bar sounds normal

The concept sound like a recipe for disaster. Whack a mole probably a saner option. at least when your 3 sheets to the wind you don't have a real hammer in your hand if someone grates on your nerves! Besides pounding nails in the U.S. For many years working after work for free sounds like a stupid idea to me. I would rather play darts with plastic tips(for the same reason as the hammer in hand) or dice or whatever.

What's a TV? A transvetite?

I am a bit of an anachronism. My cell phone is a vintage 2004 model. No camera. No Wifi. Just basic voice and text. I grew up with black and white TV with just three network channels and on good rabbit ear reception days could get one or two UHF channels out of Boston. I remember we were one of the first on the block to get a push button phone in the house replacing our rotary dial phone. My friend's summer house in New Hampshire had a party line up until 1992! Two long one short was his "number". Somehow we survived.

Hmm, I think you just revealed where you're from

I have been coming to Thailand since 2004, but never saw the game in Pattaya. I was supposed to go to Phuket back in 2004 and would have been there during the Tsunami, but by chance my friends changed the reservations at the last minute to Ko Samet, an easier trip from Pattaya.

To be honest, I recall playing this game in my favorite bar on Third road in the mid nineties. At that time 3rd road was still a small 2 lane road, and the north bound part didn't exist yet.

To many people in Pattayya to swing such a hammer, happy for that!
