Quite like food at mad dog.be a shame closed as well. No. The only affiliation I ever noticed is that Mad Dog's WiFi reaches into Half Moon's toilet on a good day. And that Mad Dog staff apparently strive for similar levels of congeniality. (In fairness though, there were some good days there.)

I was simply commenting on another posters view and I don't think 'a dragon' is particularly 'disgracing someone'. Obviously you are saying sweetness and roses and I'm glad that was your experience but it sounds like not all of ours was as pleasant. She banned one of our members as he described. Never mind no offence meant just sharing experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went there one evening and simply asked whether I could watch football , she aid that there wasnt any football being shown on Television that night , I told her that there was being shown on the Vietnamese channel and they had it because I watched the same channel in there a few weeks back , she was adamant that there was no football on TV . So, I went to a bar to watch it just down the road to watch it . As I walked back past the half moon , I told her that I watched the football somewhere else ...............and she banned me from ever going into the Half moon again You made a Thai woman lose face. Fortunate you did not get physically attacked and just got 86'd from the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have known it was a 'dead area' since your memory goes back 25 bars worth in such a small area. Which 25 'bars' are you referring to? From what date are you starting from? Does your 'precinct' include areas such as the 'urinal bars' under the Night Bazaar, the now defunct 'Peak' or the 'Gay bars' etc' opposite. I hope you do not wish they were still in existence! Having done all your bar subtractions in your posts have you added in the little bar counters with the hay bales that are in the old Peak area, or bars that have opened up in more attractive areas around CM and even places like Hard Rock Café Why can you not even try to be positive about a place you obviously chose to live in.

I was just passing through , it was in the day time . And I noticed tht a whole row of bars had been closed , so I had a quick wander around and counted all the ex bars that had closed . Most of the shutters were open and inside was an empty shell with just the bars name still visible . I have never actually been to any of the bars there , it was not a drinking environment . The bars there began opening about two years ago , so, going back 2-3 years or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sort of jumped to the conclusion (with no reason) that you had deliberately gone out your way at night to that area to prove a point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) Guys.. (and ladies), yet again I'm realizing I really do like the bars in Chiang Mai. I have meetings on Friday in Bangkok and could very easily stay another night there, or even go to Pattaya, etc. However I'm thinking 'Meh' and coming back to hit the bars in Chiang Mai instead. Cheaper, friendlier, less hassle and negativity, cooler weather, etc. Edited January 18, 2017 by WinnieTheKhwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stament Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 What CM is crying out to liven things up is for a get together of TV members for beers and to meet each other. Perhaps guess each persons handle could be a game with the winner getting a bottle of Lao Kao ? Anyone interested? ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there have been any since Old Bell shut up shop. Would be nice to see TV start the shindigs up again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
