wow really,  didn't  see that  coming 

who's your daddy? 

going north will be a little more of a pain, as will have to catch one on second Rd,  it's going south that  will be a real pita  especially  trying to get to somewhere  like the Jomtien bus junction beside the school

That's the bar owned by big Ladyboy Patsy. You know, the one who dresses up in full slut wear, or cocktail dresses and stockings with impossibly heels, in the middle of the afternoon ( and the first ladyboy I ever had the pleasure of, back in 2005).I am sure somebody can share a pic or 2. She only works days, so probably wasn't around when this happened. And FWIW, the prices are a bit OTT for a soi 8 beer bar, but no excuse for this kind of reaction.

ya, I bought her  lady drink back  in December , don't  remember  exactly  how much it was but DO remember it was a bit outrageous

Anyone know the Patsy Beer Bar on Soi 8?

A bargirl was enraged over a bill dispute and shoed a Brit in the face and tried to rip the dress off of his wife.

The bargirl claims the British couple didn't want to pay because the drinks were more expensive than at the 7/11.

The first part of the video shows the attack, then the boring middle part at the Soi 9 police station, then the cops go back to question the bargirl on Soi 8.

 

looks like she might have done a bit of muay  thai in her time :) 

i always only bought it for the informative articles in there anyways :)

Looks like Josephine Tan.  Don't think she works out of any particular bar but if you look for her on Facebook you may be able to contact her there.

ya, i think it's her too and if it is just a, heads  up shes expensive,, quoted me (in person in  Thailand) ,  and others I know 3000 St and heard she will not budge on that

I am a big fan of Sailor  bar on Soi 8, very cheap cocktails (60 baht) and cheap and tasty food as well

yup I noticed,  but unfortunately  could not edit the echo

I've been to Action Street twice this trip. The first bar on the right (Pim Stars I think) still has a few customers and a LB or two. But it is pretty much a ghost town elsewhere.

I went to that bar once  because there was a  party with spit- roast pig,    there were 2 Lbs 1 older   and no so attractive ,  and 1 younger and not so attractive,   I never went back :)

A bit off topic but you will have to show a passport to get any SIM in Thailand now, I bought a 49 baht DTAC Tourist SIM at Central Festival just to open a new Facebook account and had to show my passport.

I can't ever  remember  not having to show my passport  for AIS

I've used a laminated ID sized copy of my passport as ID at TT loads of times never been a problem 

Don't take any of that as set in stone though as logic goes out the window from day to day in Thailand , who'd have thought that you couldn't hire a sunbed on a Wednesday years ago ? 

ya, I hear you that is why I will carry the reduced laminated one and have the other in room so if there is a  problem  hotel is right across from TT on soi Bukhao so can just run back a bit of a pita  but it is what it is

Ok  thanks guys, I heard on another forum that a credit card sized copy should work and i will also try full  sized but not laminate so I can fold it and see what works best

Not 100% sure, but I know that Vasu and SuperRich exchanges in Bkk accepted a black and white photocopy of my passport. The important part is the page with your photo and passport number and details, and the other would be the number of your entry card or visa. You could trim down the pages just to the same size as your passport and fold it up. It might fit then 

it's more the size of it not  the colour  I am worried  about (I always carry colour just in case) and I forgot to mention  that I  always laminate  my photocopies  so folding would not be an option 

Ok maybe dumb question, but here goes anyways,  so I usually go to TT exchange  and have always just used a colour  full- sized photocopy of my passport to change money into baht with no problems whatsoever , so  just  wondering if anyone knows if I can use a reduced  sized photocopy as I want to carry a  smaller wallet this time if possible and a full sized copy would not fit into new much smaller  wallet

love it also,  to me as essential  a tool  for mongering as Line and Thai Friendly :)

I didn't hit too many LB bars on my recent trip, but one conclusion I came to is I personally prefer bars with an open front onto a soi rather than been locked inside an air con bar with only the trapped staff to look at.  I enjoyed my one visit to 69 bar for this reason and the company was good also on this particular visit.

I do like open bars too but also enjoy closed in bars  for the naughtiness they can enable 

also check out Soi Lengkee off soi Bukhao (one soi south of soi Chaiyapoon) a few good value places :Opey de Place, Le Trafalgar, and J&P court come to mind
