khwaibah Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Indeed. And of course someone would spend money at that location. That's a 60 million Baht property 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. Owners of a business in the area that I personally know has just informed me that the two venues being talked about, licenses were pulled 5 year ban.

LivinLOS Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 ron ( left ) was open tonight and talking to the new owner of my place bar but there were almost no customers anywhere in loy kroh or the bar boxing centre dave2 The LK photos (which dont quote) looking at Kitty Kat and D-Fly are just a shocker.. Not a customer in sight. No where can stay open long like that. Staff salaries may be low, but not low enough to live on a handful of drinks sold a night. One old friend just came up into town for 'high season' she hasnt been here since the spring and was like 'What the hell have they dont to this town' I dont think shes going to be sticking around as long as she planned.

Ah.. then a more extensive format tweak seems to be in order. It tends to apply to the location/building and not the operator (which is hardly fair). Anyway it likely means we have another restaurant or massage shop to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a customer in sight. I haven't been out in a while but judging from the boxing ring pics it looks like the author deliberately shot pics to fit a story. In the boxing ring it's the corner that's the least visited area. Would like to see a pic around 10-11pm in the main alley leading up to the boxing ring. And as for the moat end of LK, it varies. Sometimes pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trujillo Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 So is the next CM chapter of the ThaiVisa meeting, where Admin pays for all the drinks until midnight and no moderators are allowed, will be held at the Thai boxing ring area? Not only a spacious venue but a charitable injection for the local businesses (no pun intended). Not only that, but certain members could sort out their differences in the conveniently placed arena of combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trujillo Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I think there is a restaurant called PUNPUN, but not sure. Anyway, no one would want to meet at a restaurant when the alternative is girlie bars, muay Thai boxing, non-girlie bars (wink, nod) and yes, restaurants.

Throatwobbler Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Ron has spent a long time time here and has always thought he could disobey the rules.
