Hardly any customers? I walked past it most nights for three nights in a row and some of the bars there were very busy. That wee cocktail car does a roaring trsde.

KWA Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Trench Town on Soi Buakhao has the builders in. Don't know if a major change/new owners or just some remedial work while they're quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit, never had that problem and didn't pay key money either. Different Landlords they are not all the same. The LK Metro owner did take my Wife's deposit of 30K but rents vary widely. Noodies for example was 30K a Month rent in LK while others pay more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfc2007 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Quite a few bars doing some renovation work including area 52, I rovers and others. They must be very confident of riding this out. Edited April 23, 2020 by dcfc2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the biggest illegal loan sharks in England owned several high profile bars on Soi LK.

simon Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 IMHO most bar rent prices are way over priced & key money is illegal but most call it a loophole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witnessed Him getting a battering from another bloke one night. We were in Bobby's bar and next thing both of them fell onto the pavement, His wife whacking the other bloke with a stick. Other bloke was a trained fighter, even Thais watching didn't interfere. He got His arse fucking battered and the other fellow just walked away. Spoke to Him a few times in His bar. That was the bar the farang was murdered by a ladyboy, throat cut, blood everywhere. His Wife paid Cops to turn a blind eye the farangs body out the back door and dumped in the lake. Down as missing person. How do I know this.. our delivery driver helped with the body disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya is home to plenty of crooks, gangsters and scammers. Common knowledge, the aussie was plastered all over the news. I think the aussie got the death sentenced but commuted to life in prison. I'd have begged them for the firing squad rather than do time in a Thai prison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
