Alwayssunny Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Ha ha ha! Not wanting to diminish your comment but has anyone ever used the buffalo line on you? Yes when I first came to Thailand, my first gf used this tactic and it worked, she also used the "I have a child and my ex bf has not paid the school fees, this worked as well, she was a stunner though and a personality to make anyone fall in love with her, I did! didn't last long though and have moved on to a nice girl now! be careful out there it's a jungle!!

y2k Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 My experience with long term relationships with Thai girls is limited and though I got the "I have a son whose father was a bastard who beat me up" line I was never asked for money directly. She did recently suggest that she wanted to buy a place and said she needed more money to do it but fell short of asking me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y2k Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Well there's so much choice that a recommendation from a friend can't be bad. Would that be on one of the side streets off Bangla? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDM0712 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Looks like one bars in Tiger 2 (the one with the nightclub on the first floor). At a guess I would say, if you are facing it, it would be the second row on the left towards the front, or it might even be a front bar. Perhaps next to Pink Lady. It looks like it was taken in the daytime and if so only the front bars are open in the day normally. SDM Edited June 13, 2014 by SDM0712 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDM0712 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 No. The bar you have shown a photo of, Freedom Bar, is in the Tiger Complex, commonly referred to here as Tiger 2. The Soi I mentioned is Soi Freedom, formerly Eric, and nothing to do with Tiger. SDM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDM0712 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) +1Well...... We had Tiger (on the corner opposite Tai Pan) and then they built a new Tiger (as I said just known as Tiger 2 locally, we do have imagination) in Bangla with a nightclub on the first floor, but the nightclub didn't open until the original Tiger burnt down. However before the fire and opening of T2 another Tiger complex was opened on the "third "road with a hotel and next to the new Bangla Boxing Stadium. But no one even went there so it didn't have any local nickname. It is now purely a restaurant.Now more recently the original Tiger has been re built and re opened. However I'm not sure what we are calling it locally. I just call it the one that burnt down. Edited June 13, 2014 by SDM0712 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon43 Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Good heavens, that map of the bars in Bangla road area was created by me years ago! I still have the original artwork. Is the map still in Bangla road?? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keestha Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (pic) anybody knows where this 7/11 is? OP, I'm curious, what special reason did your friend give to go to that bar of all places? To me it looks like just one out of hundreds of near identical ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it looks like just one out of hundreds of near identical ones. As you gain experience over time, so shall you gain insight, grasshopper - it takes many years and much time to master these skills. BTW your picture of the 7/11 was missing, if you will resend I'm confident we can identify the location and the service girl will be all yours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
