flyDelight Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I heard they were closed by the police since 2 days for doing something illegal like staying open too late or selling something not allowed, anyone who has the details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernjohn Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Didn't know it was closed. Maybe for false advertising. It had a sign that said best hamburger in town. According to the Hamburger thread that is not true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LivinLOS Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Dont forget the new purge includes such wickedness as 'having alcohol bottles on shelves'... having branded beer glasses.. Having a menu with pictures of the product.. offering a discount.. Or answering a question as to what was recommended.. Burn the witch.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiengmaijoe Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Dont forget the new purge includes such wickedness as 'having alcohol bottles on shelves'... having branded beer glasses.. Having a menu with pictures of the product.. offering a discount.. Or answering a question as to what was recommended.. Burn the witch.. There are now quite a few places selling imported Belgian/German beers, each in their own fancy glass, such as Hoegaarden and Duvel, does anybody know if they are still allowed to use that glass or are they now being sold in plain, standard glasses? I heard that Beer Republic was getting away with it, but for how long? These particular laws are just plain ridiculous. I once heard of a bar=owner being told that they couldn't use beer cooler condoms. The police told a customer to take it off his beer, but the stupid thing was that the cooler 'ad' was a complete replica of the beer bottle label, so removing the cooler simply revealed the bottle label anyway. If drinking a beer in a glass with the logo on it is illegal, then surely drinking a beer from a bottle with the label on is too! The question is, how far will this go? I haven't been into CM Saloon in quite a while, but assuming he was closed because of the enforcement of these regulations my guess would be either promoting alcohol (didn't he have a G&T and other liquors promotion on a sign on the street?) or staying open late, not that I know if he does or not. As somebody already said, of all the places on Loi Kroh, closing this one is insane. No teenagers, no trouble, no tarts, and plenty of tourists just minding there own business having a quiet drink.

stephenterry Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The prohibition of beer advertising in a bar that sells alcoholic drinks is about the most insane regulation imposed here.

Big Ron was the first person I met on my first evening in C.M. - many years back. He's a bit odd but I quite like him too. Tough old dude. "No elephants, whores, or khatoeys in my bar!" Honestly, I'm surprised he has run ins with the police - but I don't know him real well. His family is a nice bunch and they all speak excellent English. Drinks are reasonable and they pour a generous drink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millwall_fan Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Sorry to hear about Big Ron, he cocked-a-snook at the Old Bill on a regular basis and upset quite a few locals, but I was rather fond of him. Hopefully he will bounce back. BTW, Were the bars closed on Saturday in CM for HM's birthday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And at one time they had one of the better burgers in CM... the free peanuts could be dodgy though..... good place to take a break from the hustle of the street.

The funniest thing about Ron is watching him do the rounds on his bike checking out how busy the other bars are. What is the point? He reminds me of the supposedly true story of the rival bar owner in Glasgow getting his customers to check out business at the bar next door. The owner next door spotted the 'spy' and said to him "I make it 12 in the lounge and 15 in the bar, what was your count?'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinnieTheKhwai Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Indeed. And of course someone would spend money on it; that's a 30 million Baht location if the owner would ever let go of it, LOL. Given their clientele, a slight format tweak could be a good thing. Their best days are probably ahead if they get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
