Thanks for any info :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Yep, paid it last night. For the THB 100 you get a voucher worth the full THB 100. The girls have to pay too. Beer is sold after 02:00 am and it will get very crowded after 02:30 am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Enjoy it while it is happening. IMO this won't last long. It must of taken a huge pile of tea money to get this action happening again. But they are flagrantly flouting the law with the most "undesirables" (BGs and punters) as clientele, it's only a matter of time until they are smacked down again, and probably hard. If restaurant, then cannot charge cover charge. If bar, have to stop serving at 1 AM If you have entertainment license, can serve until 2AM NO ONE gets to serve legally after 2 AM especially to this clientele. Hope they got DEEP pockets, they are going to need them. :banghead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Yea, I wondered about this. They got shut down at 2 am right after I was there last. Now back up, and running again. What's the deal? Last known farang after-hours place, after Thermae closing. To be back up, and running again, indicates Grace has some serious pulling power, on their part. God only knows what the real story is. HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 I could probably find out if I was over ther. But then, I probably don't really want to know either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbaron Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 I was at the Grace quite a few times in my recent trip (up until 2 weeks ago - sob), and I never once paid the 100B, nor was I asked for it. Don't think I ever entered before 2.30 / 3am either. May have changed in the last 2 weeks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 "...NO ONE gets to serve legally after 2 AM especially to this clientele. Hope they got DEEP pockets, they are going to need them..." Personally, I find the crowd at Grace to be most unsavory, trouble witing to happen! wonder if they are claiming the 100bht "cover" is an advance on your bill in case you skip out? Sort like some places in the USA charge in advance of serving As for skirting the law...how do those sidewalk bars get away with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli13 Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 sidewalk bars must simply get away with it as they're not bars, but just food stalls! different setup different law me thinks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 17, 2003 Report Share Posted January 17, 2003 Grace has been charging the 100 Baht entry fee at least since early November when I was there--and they were still doing so in early January. On several occasions police would come in and close down the main room--but the side coffee shop remained open virtually all night; at 4 am it was usually still packed. Also, Grace seems to have taken over some of the functions of the Thermae--open very late, packed after 2 am. The crowd seems different than the Thermae, however: mostly younger crowd, minus the old Thermae dragons. I had not been in the Grace for years, and was pleasantly surprised by what I saw. Also, looks like most of the Arab crowd has disappeared from the premises. Nich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
