Thread: Well known pubs closing down

My local in Chiang Mai has 55 bht big beers until 9pm then it goes up to 80. Best run pub in town too and has 2 decent pool tables for free play. No bargirls but the chicks behind the bar are attractive and friendly. Blue Sky Bar.

Which bar was that mate?

Mid way down Suk soi 22,The Twenty two bar run by Ray and his wife Nok.

Used to call in there on the odd occasion in the late 90's as at that time i lived in the regency park but too many poms, jocks and taffs for my liking.

You must be the gay Frenchman who owned Piggies.

BKK has been spent since early closing about 6-7 years ago.

It wasn't there in the late 90's, it was actually on Sukumvit Road a few shops along from 7/11 at the top of 22.

Bulls Head is shut already. Mysteriously 4 days early.

Sad day

Yep, the landlords decided to play nasty and locked the Bulls Head up before they could have their big leaving parties.... sly fuckers.

I know exactly where original location was and when it moved into Soi 22
as Sukumvit was the location I visited occasionally.
If Ray wasn't such a tight ass jock he would have negotiated a lease to stay where was, as he did almost no business in the 22 location.

Out of curiousity for what is unfamiliar (to me) slang, what's a 'jock' in the sense you're using it in the above quote?

In the States it's an athlete (or something to do with your groin).

I'm taking a guess at "A Scottish person" - traditionally known for being frugal over matters relating to money.

^ Scottish

You wont get this joke then FS

What do you call 2 jocks hangin on a washing line ?








A pair of tights

^ pantyhose


Arr it's not funny if you gotta explain it

Ah- never heard that one (though I'm familiar with the Scottish reputation for... frugality).

Thanks for the info.

.......

^ the Welsh are stingy too...

Come out on the beer with me and tell me that....

Are you buying? Fantastic. In Bangkok? I'm ready and waiting, but I don't like the poofy places, so suggest somewhere pleasant please.

^ No I think he means he's gonna smash his glass in yer face






















Bet it's an empty glass

^ that's a London thing, and not very nice. The Welsh just punch you in the face then bugger you...

Oh, a punch in the face and a good buggering sounds MUCH nicer than a glass in your grill.

Anyone else notice the distinct lack of a 'no buggering' qualification...?
