Baccara on walking street has only been opened around 10 years. I think it replaced the old Irish bar that was on walking street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how true the story is. They probably found a decent sized portion and arrested the cook. I could never find one in there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's Australian. He and his two sons run the bars. One of the sons got Thai citizenship late last year, the other one was still going through the process. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew is slightly taller than Daniel, but wouldn't say he's a big guy. Both, as you said, are very pleasant guys. Daniel for a few years rented the house next to mine so got to know him a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wakarani Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 to be honest I can't wait to see 50% or more of bars and gogos shut down. Call be a c**t or call me what you want, but the over saturation of shit bars definitely resulted in a lack of returning visitors to Pattaya. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the bars that shut down are the ones you like. Much easier to just don't go to "those bars" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myself if I don't care for the staff in a bar I just don't go in there again. As you point out plenty of other bars around. Why get so wound up over individual owners? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think those owners give a shit when they tell the staff to serve watered down drinks, fake spirits, or padded bills. Sod them, sooner they go bankrupt and piss off the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weak and sick fall first. The ongoing transformation of Pattaya as a "play" resort to a generic tourist trap is an ongoing multi year process. COVID-19 has helped to just speed up the timeline a bit. Edited May 26, 2020 by lazarus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much social distancing going on there apart from the parachutes in the distance. Agree with this post apart from last two words "a bit". Be little Huangzhou-on-Sea for the Chinese by the end of next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misteregg Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Lynching mob? Everyone has the right to surmise what Mr Egg was referring to. The fact he won't say just makes posters more curious. I made a promise to the persons (two) who told me that I wouldn’t reveal the name of the bar. If I make a promise? I make a promise. The gogo is on Walking St not Beach Rd 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
