I've not wanted to get dragged into this because I actually prefer (or used to) pop over to LBR as a means to chill out, but enough is enough, fuck it, here I am.
Firstly, I haven't visited “The Roof” for over a year now, and on the times I had been there, it most definitely wasn't free!. As for the other “big bars”...Yes, KrU have covered my drinks in there before, but only on the occasions when I’ve given up my evening to MC events for them. All other times such as last night, I’m a regular paying customer there. I had the same arrangement also one time at Sensations earlier this year when they hosted a wet tshirt finale.
Secondly, when Lasurlaces got burned a few months back over posting some non-nude pics of Emmy. It only served to demonstrate exactly why we choose to limit LB access to only a few areas and leave the rest of the forum open for the punters.
Emmy being able to see, read and misunderstand comments about the pics LaSurl had posted lead us to do some background checking as to why this had happened, and sure enough it was found somebody had made a dummy account for Emmy to view the forum, and not only that, had also let her use his own password to login.....What the actual fuck? I'm sure if one of the Lounge members here let an LB use his account, the other guys would not be too impressed either.
So in seemingly being so impassioned about giving Emmy access people think she deserved, that guy had chose his Pratumnak Hill to die on, and ultimately at the cost of still being able to promote his own business.
Emmy runs a nice little bar and have had some fun nights there, but for such a small bar it has consistently created the dramas right from day 1, due to the constant meddling of well-meaning, but overbearing friends. This white noise has become too much of a distraction for me, and created extra admin work for us.
As a result I've steered clear of Soi 4 Jomtien for nearly a year, and I'm not the only one.
