That should cover most of them, but I'm certain it's not all of them. # $db++;[/QB] and i thought i was confused already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfman36 Posted July 21, 2001 Report Share Posted July 21, 2001 Errrr...Ummmmm.... I think this thread has drifted a bit.... FLYONZEWALL: May I extend my hand as a "piece-pipe"? I think this has also run it's course as well... RR, IMHO I think this board has really stepped up to help out, and all we're possibly waiting for now is Stickman's pow-wow with the big Chief (I think living in Phoenix has given me too many Indian phrases, eh?). Cheers Everyone Elfman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't take much longer and my wife will wack that computer around my head if I don't stay off that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 21, 2001 Report Share Posted July 21, 2001 I talked to one of the owners of G-Spot the other day and he was aware of this posting but not of the incident itself. He made some effort to find out what had happened. But of course nobody was talking. He said you should have complained to the mamasan or tried to find the manager or one of the owners. But you may not have been thinking very clearly after having your head slammed. I have lived in Thailand for 12 years and it has been my understanding that Bar Owners especially non Thais have strong policies against such scams in the bars. They should be kept informed by complaining customers so such practices can be stamped out. Thus the bars will be safer for us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2001 Report Share Posted July 21, 2001 I also agree, we need closure to this subject. Being a newbie maybe I have no rights to say, but I like others view this board to obtain information on the LOS not a lessons on the proper use of "capital letters. I have found great info for my FIRST up coming trip in mid September. Even if this will be my first of hopefully many more trips to come, I will also not visit G-Spot or others of the same owners.

spirit_of_town_hall Posted July 22, 2001 Report Share Posted July 22, 2001 I'm coming to LOS for 3 and a half weeks next month with 7 friends, all heavy drinkers used to Visit the crown group a lot, now I won't. Lets see how much that has cost them given that as a conservative estimate I would have patronised their places 5 nights during my stay 7 x 10 beers each = 700 baht + 1 bar fine + 6 lady drinks = 1800 baht x 7 X 5 = 63 000 baht. I visit LOS 4 times a year at least, that one grotesque act of bullying on their part has cost them. By the way the above figure does not include the money which would privately have been given to the girls, I normally pay 2000 baht long time and my friends are pretty generous as well so the girls have lost money to the tune of 70 000 baht. Revenue which I would have put in to the crown group and girls next month would have been 133 000 baht. One stupid girl and one dupe have cost that group millions of baht. They have to learn not to cut off the hand that feeds them, when will they learn!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
