gregchambers Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Just confirms my belief in not taking more than loose change to Thailand, nothing I can't afford to lose. Must make guys buying into Nana bars for tens of millions of baht think twice. Doubt if the guys and women running the bars and shops will go up against an army general, either physically or legally but they might well beat up the security guards or lob a grenade in their midst. Probably find that the sublessee had a short lease and illegally sold longer leases to the tenants. Thailand is just not the kind of place to do business or even buy a condo...

Wiseone Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Who cares?.... samak ... it's not a case of whether YOU care or not... just look at the pictures of the destruction and think how many people have lost their livelihood (or even lives)... and I dont think it matters whether these people are unattractive or not... surely the unattractive thing is that someone has the power to crush a whole area of Bangkok without any consultation!

JJsushi Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Says gregchambers: Anyway, 100's, maybe even thousands, of farang lives saved, as the last time any of those gals had a medical check-up was in the way distant past. Oh yeah, Farangs are NEVER the cause/source of sexually transmitted diseases. Pretty asinine statement you made. Completely devoid of intelligent thought.

Night_Rider Posted January 26, 2003 Report Share Posted January 26, 2003 Sukhumvit beer bars demolished Published on Jan 27, 2003 About 600 demolition workers razed a strip of beer bars, shops and eateries on Bangkok's Sukhumvit Road in a surprise pre-dawn blitz yesterday that left scores of shop owners and tenants with nothing but rubble and damaged inventories. Acting on complaints by the tenants, police yesterday afternoon arrested more than 100 men inside a tent set up at the site. The men were believed to be among those who had destroyed the shops. About 30 of them were found be to security guards for a Tesco Lotus supermarket, police said. Several of the store's guards are off-duty military officers. Shop owners watched helplessly as the wrecking crew flattened their establishments and destroyed their property at about 4am yesterday, witnesses said. An employee of a beer bar was injured during the demolition. Pratuang Srisuk, 23, sustained a severe injury to his left ear after being hit with a blunt object. He said that at about 4 am while he was cleaning the shop, someone knocked on the door. Some 10 men were outside and they told him they were policemen carrying a court permission to tear down all the shops in the area. Everything was flattened within two hours, said one local resident. Afterwards the crew put up a shoulder-high wall topped with barbed wire that stretched from Soi 8 to Soi 10. Security guards were also stationed at the site. Signs were posted around the wall, declaring "Social Order Policy in accordance with the Ministry of Interior" and "Do not enter. We will not be responsible for any consequences". The demolition crew and not ministry officials put up the signs, however. It was not immediately known who hired the crew, but police said the demolition was likely the result of a dispute between the company that owns the property, Sukhumvit Silver Star Co, and the one that leases the land, BTR Holdings Co. Sukhumvit Silver Star is believed to have hired the demolition crew after obtaining a court order to evict BTR Holdings, which had failed to vacate the site after years of negotiations, police said. Tenants renting the space in the area said they knew nothing about the lease dispute. About 20 tenants filed complaints with police at Lumpini Station. The station's superintendent Colonel Prawit Lekawanit said charges would be filed against Sukhumvit Silver Star on behalf of business owners whose merchandise was destroyed. Company representatives face a Bt60,000 fine and three years in prison if found guilty of destruction of personal belongings, the Associated Press reported an officer as saying.
