orang37 1,185 #16 Posted October 6, 2018 The lack of understanding, and empathy, shown here for the police, and the staff of the karaoke bar ... for their trauma, humiliation, etc., which will undoubtedly require medical and/or psychiatric services in future ... is: appalling. 40,000 baht for services un-rendered is a pittance compared to the probable negative effects on these gracious entertainment providers, and the valiant police. ~o:37; 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kcpattaya 644 #18 Posted October 6, 2018 Way to GO Thailand!!!Let's simply continue to rip-off tourists! I am sure the karaoke Bar owner serves the local authorities very well with tea- and coffee-money. Otherwise places like this should NOT be allowed to operate 1 more single day and closed forever. But, who cares.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TSF 1,045 #30 Posted October 6, 2018 Sounds like a very green sort of guy to just roll up at a bar and sit at a table full of bargals buying drinks for them all and drinking heavily himself without giving any thought to the bill that must be paid at the end of it all.
