phiketpete Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 There was a small article in yesterday's Bangkok Post re last weeks transfer of the policeman from Lumpini station requested by the Interior Minister after the minister himself led a 'raid' on a Patpong watering hole which was still open after 2.00 am. The minister himself felt that the punishment was too light and that further punishment of this policeman was necessary and instructed the chief of police or whatever to take care of it. The laws as is will be enforced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 I have always arrived in BKK in the late flying from the east coast tired but pumped up.I shower,shave and prior to the hunt, which take me til 1am. Are their still girls hanging around the Nana lobby late at night? Does the Nana restaurant still sell beer after 1am? Other than my first night, this early closing is no problem for me.

Stickman Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 I had been told that over the last couple pof nights, the bars at Clinton had been closing at 1:00 AM, but now it is official. I know for me, it doesn't bother me in the least, in fact it is probably a good thing because it means that I will probably get home earlier, get more sleep and be in a better shape for work. Gotta feel sorry for guys on holiday though. Just like when the Thermae first started closing early, thisd is going to change the whole dynamic of Thailand's naughty nightlife.

Guest Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 1 a.m Closing is not strictly correct. the bar has to be empty of customers by 1 a.m. effectively making it a 12.45 closing. There is no paying your bill and nursing your drink to 1.01 or later. An alternative to Thermae is in the process of being negotiated alternatively start going to the Grace, a number of the dancers are finding their way there. There are some reasonable quality girls there, 2 of the new girls in Rockhard came from there, both young and pretty, one of them has great tits.

franatla Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Nice to see how everyone relates this to their own personal life style. For me, if I wanted to go to beddy bye at 1am I'd stay home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushman Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Does this imply that Grace is open past 1am? Also bedybye at 1am is not bad if you have the right companion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
los Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 Isn't Patpong part of the Lumphini District? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Gun Posted August 16, 2001 Report Share Posted August 16, 2001 quote: Originally posted by nepfan: There was a meeting at the Lumphini police station with all bar owners today at 5PM today. Nana Plaza, Clinton Plaza and all bars within the Lumphini police district will now close at 1 AM sharp! No exceptions and no slack! nepfan Any ideas on the knock-on effects of this for the girls? Presumably less hours=less drinks sold at exorbitant prices=less profit. Are the girls facing cuts in their salaries due to less hours being worked? Given that this would also mean a) less tips fewer drunken customers=smaller tips=less chance of being barfined and c) less chance of fitting in several short-times, this could have serious financial implications for many, especially the less popular girls. It is harder to feel sympathy for the bar owners but some of them must be hurting too. There was a view being expressed a while ago that the whole purpose of the crackdown was to drive out the evil farang owners by eating into their profit margins so that Thais can step in and resume control of the action, thus freeing the cream of Thai womanhood from the farang opressor. It seemed a bit extreme at the time but now I am starting to consider this as a genuine possibility.
