Dave the Dude Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 We never have any problems with drunks here. Mainly because the locals don't spend enough to get drunk. Yet a bar not so far from us, has fighting all the time.. It can't be me, cause I look like I could only do two rounds with a circus midget. Might be the missus though, she could probably scare Rambo sh1tless. Most of you customers are on Zimmer frames' Martin Sorry, a bit short on the midget jokes.

Dave The other development (as I was told), was that a number of farangs were apparently drinking outside Marks place (never been there so don't know the set up or whether tables and chairs are provided outside), and the police arrived, and fined everyone 1000bt for drinking on the street.. A bit of pushing and shoving seemingly occurred, and 1 person was arrested and taken away. If the facts as I was told are correct, and roadside chairs and tables are provided (as they used to be in "red Ribbon"), then surely the problem lies with the owner of the bar/restaurant, and not the customers. And since when did swigging a beer in public constitute an offence? More info obviously required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

puchooay Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 And when the smoke had cleared and the dust had settled all did not seem so bleak. A new bar?? Apparently. Offering the same sort of food( pies,curries,chillies,pastas etc) as the forementioned place but at somewhat more realistic prices. Local beers and a friendly Thai(English speaking) lady owner. Anybody know where this might be opening up? I'll let you know if I find out more. Could just be hearsay but let's hope not. Could be a god send.

puchooay Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I'm sorry for not being clear. Whilst I have been here for a while and have been reading TV for a long time you have probably noticed, from my joined date, that I do not usually post. I will make myself clear. I was having a quiet drink and reading the BK post in Buriram town and I overheard some local "farang" talking about a new place selling "farang food" starting up somewhere in Buriram town. They were not talking about Norbies as they were saying it was going to be run by a Thai lady and the timescales didn't fit in with the 2nd April opening at Norbies either. With all the sh!t that's been going on with Buriram bars I just thought it could be gossip. If not then obviously something to look out for.

Seems like just an unlucky experience for the bar owner..... The second disturbance was when a thai turned up to drop his wife and 2 daughters off next door some kind of beauty salon and the thai man could not get parked so he ask Mark to move his truck Mark replied that he did not have the key as his wife had popped out for some shopping on the motorbike and the key was with her.The thai the decided that he would open the door take of the brake and push it back at this point Mark asked what he was up to? The Thai guy turned out to be THE CHIEF OF POLICE IN BURIRAM and he made a call a 3 trucks turned up and carted the staff and customers down to the local nick and they were all fined 1000 baht for drinking after 14:00 as Mark has a license which does not allow him to sell alcohol between 14:00 and 17:00.Marks wife was up in court the next day but i do not no the outcome.

TBWG What a shame, it seems that Mark has been misunderstood and of course his able bodied partner in the attack, as pointed out previously he was happy enough to take the guys money while they were getting p----d and with that there comes a certain amount of responsibility as a bar owner, if you want leprosy go to a colony, if on the other hand you want the occassional drunk then open a bar and learn how to deal with it in a dignified way, after reading some of the posts it seems his clientel have diminished somewhat already.

Dave (your intrepid reporter from Surin) People employed by me have had loads of licenses but as I have never owned a shop and have always had an on-site alcohol sales license, I have not come across this personally. However, if true, this would seem to be a situation where the license holder did not or could not obtain a license for a bar (often due to zoning, too many already, no tea money paid etc.) and took a license as per a shop which has strict ties for alcohol sales. However, if you were to purchase 10 litres, or 31 bottles of Heineken, then you would be ok as you would once again be within the law. I suspect that he probably has the correct licenses but he pissed off the wrong guy. As for tables on the path, we have this at one place in Pattaya and we pay off for the privilege. Not a lot for sure but something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm back in the UK for a couple of months working and apparently we're not allowed to use the midget word anymore. We have to call them 'little people'. Similarly, the BBC ran a news report the other day and referrred to people sleeping on the streets as 'rough-sleepers'. So that's tramps then.

davethailand Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The worst example I have seen personally there was not English, he was driving a big bike,swigging booze in a brown paper bag as soon as he got off the bike and before crawling into a bar for more booze. Real lowlifeI am not disagreeing with you bumbui, but only not saying the problem is solely English thugs. You only have to go to Pattaya or read Pattaya Press to see many nationalities cause trouble.

Mulphy has been known to openly threaten people with violence and have them fitted up. now just how far down the ladder do people have to go before they are just binned off ? Same as drinking with some arsehol_e who beats up or condones the beating up of his own customers. Now if those two things are ok and people still want to support their businesses, then I ask the question as to what point would such an individual decide not to continue to support a business ? Drink driving ? GBH ? Drug pushing ? Theft ? Rape ? Child molestation ? Murder ? My judgement of morality is not on the person making the judgement but more on what the rational man would think as a barrier which once crossed means that mein host is not worthy of support ? I think threats of violence or actual violence against customers or other guys out boozing is way past that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
