bumblebee Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 Marina's is the one I had in mind Lung. So away you go with your one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxpharm Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Ok BB, I had the answer slightly before Lung. My question is in the mid and late 1990's there was an lb bar in Patpong, Bangkok that also featured muay Thai matches. It was near KC and KC3 and has now been converted to a hand bag and leather goods shop. What was the name of this bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luung Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Well, I shall have the grace to hand the laurel over to RX, BB, as he all, but got it ... And besides, apart from the fact that I really fluffed my last question up, he did actually have one lined up, which I haven't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luung Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Bloody Hell, simultaneous posting... Can we put my post in front of RX's as it doesn't really read right now? And I've just thought of a question... Who owns Casanova Bar in Nana?.. And who owns The Family Bars in Pattaya>? Occupations will do, as I don't need the names of any individuals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdogg Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Bloody Hell, simultaneous posting... Can we put my post in front of RX's as it doesn't really read right now? Post get sorted according to posting time and Invision hasn't built in a feature so that mods can change the time stamp on a post. However you could edit post 365 which appears before RX's. I'll take a stab at Lung's question and guess the owners are cops. RX's question is a toughie. I don't go back that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTel Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I'll take a go at the Family Bar question and say, "It's a ex School teacher". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossco Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The guy is a Lawyer but am not sure of his wife's normal occupation. They also own a Thai restaurant on 3rd Road going South between the Diana driving range and traffic lights. The bars in the VIP complex, on Soi 29/1 in Naklua, seem to be going through a refurb and I am not sure their other bars in Soi 7 and 8 are still going. That would leave Soi 2 as the only Family bar still open. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correctamundo, so far PD, you're on your way to three +1's & a pack of chockie biscuits, if you can get this... So now tell me which bar??? I'll take a go at the Family Bar question and say, "It's a ex School teacher". Good guess BigTel, & I do actually know a few ex teachers who have become LB bar owners in LOS, but unfortunately not this bar... To help out a little, the ex teacher, come bar owner type is Falang... And these bas are Thai owned Keep going, as you've got two more strikes before you're out... Those chockies could still be yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you've been out on the piss with him as well I'll have a packet of Garibaldi's in m' back pocket next time we meet.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossco Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Not only on the piss - I endured the opening night, of the restaurant, which was highligted with Kareoke - I have been tone deaf ever since! Actually a nice guy. I think the bars were an indlugence for his wife as they open & close like a revolving door. What was the name of the guy, and his occupation, who owned Triple X. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 I would believe that is Marina Bar. Let me know if that is correct and I'll ask a tough question that only the old hands may know the answer to. Sorry Rx somehow I missed your post, you got it spot on. No idea about the name of the place in your question mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacman Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 What was the name of the guy, and his occupation, who owned Triple X. He was a pilot & his name was James. At least I think that was his name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lance2546 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm afraid Marina's taken a turn for the worse & chased all her customers away... She can't even get staff any more That was diplomatic :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luung Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Be careful how you sit down then Lung. Well yeah... I wouldn't want to end up with chocolate stains all over the back of my pants, now... Would I .. It'd look a bit too much like I'd changed sides half way through the match. That was diplomatic :) Well it was actually, Lance... Could you imagine what a shitbox of a thread I'd turn this into if I'd have mentioned some of her antics?? .. Anyway, thankfully we have the other two bars to fall back on, when we're in need.

Actually a nice guy. I think the bars were an indlugence for his wife as they open & close like a revolving door. Yes, he was a nice guy & for a Thai, incredibly generous... I used to have a lot of fun with him, but eventually I just got really tired of being dragged out on pub crawls as the token Falang until the sun came up! Some times he'd actually bring a pair of dwarfish gogo dancers with him & as we'd enter any new bar they'd instinctively jump on the counter & start gyrating away at an incredibly fierce rate of knots... It was quite incredible, the ultimate in kitsch... Man, talk about making everyone feel like the band's just hit town! But pity you with the opening night of his restaurant though... That must have been torture. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 Many of us opt for an AIS sim card when in Los to network with the LBs. So here is a 2 parter. What does AIS stand for and perhaps an easier second question who is most associated with founding the company? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiamSam Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Advanced Info Service and the guy most associated with founding the company gotta be Taksin. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxpharm Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 BB, you're right no one has answered it yet - as it would take an old Bangkok hand to get this. However, I will give a hint: if you look up there is a bar on Walking Street Pattaya that has the same name (but not the same format of muay Thai and lbs).

bumblebee Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Perhaps the same name as one of those Russian hostess bars whose names escape me. Looks like you may have stumped the forum with this one Rx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdogg Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Happy? Simply a wild guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rxpharm Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 One more hint before I give the answer - the bar's name includes a color that if combined with red makes purple. This may be the hint you all need - in combination with the hint I gave before - if you look "up there" on Walking Street. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
