Only newbies and perhaps drunk people run up a load of chek bin before paying. And don't pay a 200bht bill with a 1,000bht note. "No, that was only a 500bht note you gave me" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will leave it to others to judge whether he would have deserved such a fate! Ok, I understand that that now and mods pointed it out too. I always read reports on bars elsewhere and if negative I steer clear. Too many many good bars to take chances with the bad uns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post varun Posted July 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2020 You were perfectly within your right to question the discrepancy in price. Just change bars - simple as that. With bars hurting as much as they are right now, it is their loss, not yours, no need to squabble over 50 baht - just walk on out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkk6060 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Ha. I told you. All the crying about the bars not being open and do not believe I have ever read a positive review about a bar. All, terrible comments about everything and then the ẗhey cheat/steal money¨ themes. All seems like such a joke glad I have no interest in going to any of these places.

Popular Post luckyluke Posted July 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2020 The o.p. paid 140 one day and another 190. Nothing extraordinary here, they can change the price when they want. You check the bill after the first drink, you continue to order after, or you leave. If the staff know you, they usually tell you there is an increase in price when you order, and if there is no written announcement in the premises. Here it is strange the staff and manager insist there was never a 140 price. Why should they say that if it was not the case. That it comes to tell the customer he should better go somewhere else is very unprofessional from the manager, even if she may been irritated by the maybe wrong attitude of the customer during the discussion. She should have in first instance apologized for the wrong price stated the day before. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skallywag Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 2 hours ago, Liverpoolfan said: i should have got 2 beers for 140 baht (70 baht per pint), not 190. Those are agogo or nightclub prices, not "bar" prices (maybe in BKK?) normal price is 140 a pint when not on the 2 for 1 promotion? Maybe a sky bar in a fancy hotel? Only bars in Pattaya I ever frequent it is 50 baht before 7 for a small bottle and 60 or 70 baht after. Unfortunately since the pool tables are closed down I have not gone out to my favorite bars. Have never trusted beer on tap since working in a restaurant/bar years ago. Temperature fluctuations, dirty supply lines, dirty glassware. Most beers tastes pretty awful and are rife with bacteria from what I have seen here in years past when I did try a pint from the tap. Heard a similar story here in Pattaya from a friend. He had the experience on second round, not the second night. FIrst round was 90 baht, second round 120 baht for a mixed drink, July 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sound like a right laugh, that lot! 140B for two PINTS! 190B for two pints! Is it real beer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully understand OP's reaction, and personally would never go back as long as that obnoxious lady-manager is still there. And even with new ownership my perception of the place would be different than it was before because of that experience. Unfortunately the 'libel' laws in Thailand do not allow to Name & Shame the place because even when fully right you can be prosecuted by the owner for 'hurting their business'. You are correct. I once complained about paying 130 baht (I think it was ) when the sign outside said "100 Baht". I was told that it was a mistake, but I had to pay the full amount. I never went back but the sign remained at 100 baht for at least the following 3 weeks. That was blatant cheating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You walk into the bar and say, "I'll have a 100bht beer" (ow beer, nung roi baht kap) They bring the beer, you hand them 100bht. No opportunity for cheating. I'd have to be a 'special bar' for me to pay 100bht though. I'm used to Vietnam and Cambodia where the price is 50c to $1.

Popular Post WineOh Posted July 3, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2020 Listen right, i Post these kinds of things so people get to see what goes on out there and maybe open 1 or 2 eyes in the process.. if you think that getting ripped off and treated like s**t for the privilege is acceptable behavior then you are raving mad! without our custom these pubs could not survive, the manager would be out of a job and so would the waitresses.. Bad reviews are just as important as good reviews. How can an establishment ever improve if they dont know where they are going wrong?? They need to know so as to stop more future bad reviews. and just to reiterate, this has nothing to do with the 50 baht for goodness sake. It was how i was spoken to after pointing out that i saw the price had gone up since yesterday and how it was made to feel like that was my fault. Do You think i am out of Order for checking my bill when I am ready to pay?? And as for paying as you go, had i not been at an establishment i trusted for sure that would have been my course of action. Where i went would be the last place i thought something like this would happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
