July 5, 201411 yr Popular Post Yeah I do understand that and it is just reiterating my point, I just think everyone expects it to be more..well..Thai Visa-ish ® trademark registered Oz Guess we could have a moderator and/or admin at the door greeting visitors to give it that Thaivisa feel.
July 5, 201411 yr Popular Post Some of the comments in this thread are absurd! It's just a bar guys. it serves beer, food, shows football and other sporting events and has pool tables. Get over it. If you want to go then go. If not, then give it a miss. People talking 'marketing strategies' and other nonsense. I mean, really, do you question the 'marketing strategy' of every other bar you visit? Other people commenting about the pavement being blocked for wheelchair access!! Have you seen the pavement down Soi7? You couldn't get a wheelchair along there anyway!! Some of you lot sound like a world of fun. Jesus wept. I was at the do last night and as I said before was skeptical beforehand but it was actually pretty decent and the bar itself is good.

T-Y ... you never fail to disappoint to see the positive ... sense of humour ... I just hope, this year there are the Christmas Celebrations like in Christmases past. If that happens .. I promise to wear a name badge ... If you come ... I'll even rouse MissFarmGirl and the boys ... but only if you promise.

July 5, 201411 yr Popular Post I must admit I was a bit disappointed not to receive a handwritten invitation from the CEO of Thai Visa, but then again, as Groucho once said, I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.

Metisdead will be the ref. Would definitely draw a crowd.

July 5, 201411 yr I think I'd have to put my money on JT though Dave sorry!! I've seen him fight here on TV. Oz
July 5, 201411 yr Popular Post I am fully verbally qualified to oversee this fight.............. " I want a clean fight, no hugging, grappling or kissing or nibbling of ears, OK touch gloves...HEY, not groins, go to your corners and come out fighting, JT, YOUR own corner please"...............
July 5, 201411 yr unfortunately JT has a block on David48 so no match it seems, all ticket refunds will be issued at the bar....
July 5, 201411 yr I'm agreeing with David48 here, if all the THAI VISA Lonuge has to offer is the same as every other bar in BKK, there is no incentive to frequent it. Sure drop in for a beer check it out, say you've 'been there, done that!' but if any business has no "hook" then whats the purpose. By naming itself after a popular forum now with some 70,000 members, you'd think it already had that hook, but chose to just be another "well established pool bar", disappointing for many. Its like when you drive along the highway and you see stall after stall selling the same product, surely you would think one of them might do something different, but nope, they just keep selling the same thing next to hundred of others doing the same. Admittedly, 70,000 members drop in for even 1 beer and its a goer, but c"mon! Oz Need to keep in mind that not only 70,000 members but many multiples of that in guests who visit the forum who are potentials for the new lounge wanting to perhaps meet up on common ground. Good food , drinks selection, music and service in a pleasant environment will keep them coming back for more. Plenty, no in fact most, bars in lower Suk can't get that right. As David alluded to there is a target group....we could only speculate as to what that might be at this point....but I'll be along soon to get my own idea.
July 5, 201411 yr unfortunately JT has a block on David48 so no match it seems, all ticket refunds will be issued at the bar.... It will filter down ... such is the grapevine here. JT JT JT ... God love the freedom to have a wee bit of fun on the Forum ...

July 5, 201411 yr Not nice how you have blocked the footpath. What about pedestrians and wheelchair users. Mate, not having a go but if you ever have been down that Soi ... everyone blocks the footpath. It's a bit unfair to call the boys on that issue. Soi 7 Suk isn't particularly busy. For pandemonium ... try navigating down Soi 11 ... I do not go along with the everyone does it excuse for everything. It has to start somewhere. Where you there ? Seems like some people just want to find a reason to complain.

July 5, 201411 yr It always amazes me how some threads are allowed to digress into inane conversation without reprimand...while others are censored without explanation....I know...deduct 1 point...and go to time out for 3 days...
July 5, 201411 yr any press is good press, I'm sure George is having laugh as well.... if he wasn't then he wouldn't be running TV.. or a bar for that matter!
July 5, 201411 yr A bar is a bar. It lives on how well it treats people. Let's revisit the topic next year.

Good job for you Trans, you can go up and sing when the bar needs to be emptied at closing time, but no Michael Jackson songs, or a certain poster may be upset.
July 5, 201411 yr I came up from Patts just because of the invitation. I don't regret it. Met a couple of members from Bangkok, who gave me lots of info about Bangkok, as I'm planning or thinking about to move to Bangkok. Areas where to stay, pricerange etc. And most important of all they were very nice guys... The bar itself has a very good location, nice and very good food. If they have the same staff everynight as Yesterday I move next week As I'm living in Patts, I'm probably a little bit spoiled by the prices of beer, but I think 120 baht for a bottle Heineken is expensive. But maybe that's what it cost in Bangkok..? Thank's for a nice evening and good luck with Your new bar!
