Probably why the bars along 3rd Rd don't do well, unless they have closed off fronts.

If you limit your clientele to Aussie Rugby League supporters and you are continually stopping conversations in the bar because you disagree with the topic then people will stop returning. Simples. Also his missus went rogue and used an agency for the girls which Danny knew f**k all about until I told him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nightcrawler Posted January 26 Popular Post Share Posted January 26 I went over to the Darkside to visit a mate last night then ended up a Dao bar. Wow, I have not been to that bar for about 12 years and it's still there and refurbished looks nothing like it used to. Not many customers there and the girls were OK and attentive. Not expensive either. Had a very pleasant time there, them ordered Bolt back to town. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first stop on our Dark Side bar crawl on Wednesday and I also was most impressed by the place - very comfy bar with lovely washroom and the girls were fine too - if I remember correctly LD's were only 120 as well; met the nicest girl of the crawl there and hope to go back on my own as well, I can recall walking to this place and back from Pattaya a few years ago and may try it again, although I'll get a taxi on the way back this time. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Postscript - I just saw on Facebook this morning that Danny Kelly passed away on Dec. 30, may he RIP - he was in rough shape when I last met him about a year ago so I'm not really surprised but still a bit of a shock.

Fucking hell that is sad and shocking news. I did see a bloke that resembled him but seemed sick and impoverished sitting in a corner bar behind Soi Buakhao market. He did look at me and nod but my immediate thought was "surely not.." ... Very sad.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may affect some but it's not going to affect all of them unfortunately here they pick and choose who they want to close despite many many businesses doing the same thing. A good example the Barbie bar which was right across from the triangle bar was warned about serving after hours. Lots of bars get visits from the police we got them at baby dolls we got them at secrets telling us to close and when they did we closed. Barbie bar with no different but apparently the envelopes weren't being passed about and they close them for 5 years despite them doing no more than most every other bar. We're in Thailand and cash is King. It can magically change rules 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're in Thailand and cash is King. It can magically change rules With Barbie Bar I thought it was more a case of the owner being too quick to push the boundary of operating hours. They had been cited, along with Witherspoon and Nikom for violating the opening hours restrictions, but while the other two toed the line Barbie Bar a week or two later tried once again to stay open late. That resulted in the five year ban on the location operating as a bar. Edited January 27 by forcebwithu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
