Barry I think you'll find what happens in the bar and what happens behind the scenes are going to be two very different things in most cases they're not going to air the laundry out in the bar so to speak. If in fact there is anything to be aired out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Unfortunately forums have a lot of bullshit and even some from people who are not even here in Thailand. There are a lot of wannabes who don't have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. They are jealous of bar owners and think how lucky they are. I can tell you first hand that it is certainly not a bed of roses. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With great respect,there was a time when what happened "in bar" bore a striking resemblence to that which occured "without" I guess the armfulls full of steaming gladioli and the ambiance created thereof,with the minor help of mere wiff of Tequila were,of course, against my better judgement and, to my undying shame a focussed,yes focussed, lazer like beacon for the multitude of waifs and strays drawn to a portly frame of religious proportions . I battled gamefully but twas young ..ish and was inevitably doomed to fail in a similar manner to my forebears I hope the plaque is is still there in relief zone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteregg Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Speaking to both Scooters and Secrets owners, they are both confident of reopening on Sept 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yesitisdakid Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 That's what I've been told as well but there's been zero promotion of the reopening it's only a couple weeks away 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have guessed they would have rebranded it but if that was going to take place it would have happened before this I would assume and they would have started promotional material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nampla69 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Walked through the empty bar week ago just basically the same but closed and nothing has changed.

Yesitisdakid Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 I assume most of the staff have moved on by now ...? A couple of them told me they had to sign a resignation letter when they were paid out so they probably won't go back to work based on that aloneSent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know or understand how Thai law works, but in UK that would be unlawful and lead to employment tribunal. A lot depends on how accessible Thai law is to the staff. @Yesitisdakid Any idea?
