When in Rome.... Don't be a dickhead.
Patpong...... Prolly the ripoff capitol of Thailand.
They didn’t hit me, and I’m easily placated with a free vodka or two in the wee early hours. The father was aggressive earlier, the son did nothing.
Being rabbit punched from behind, whilst confronted by half a dozen Thai men who then fancy a free fall all, let’s smack the white bloke, is cowardly in my opinion.
My ’mob’ as you say, was international including only one Thai.
Go to a sewer, don't be surprised to bump into turds.
What did the farang owners say about the Thai guys?
Why was your bill padded and then enforced by heavies?
Why was the father part of the attack before, what reason did he give?
Surely he must take some responsibility for what happens in the bar and his own actions.
And why was you placated enough to accept a drink from the owners, but not placated enough to come on the net and tell people not to drink at their bar?

Pay as you go is the best way in a bar you are not familiar with.
Stuff the bin. You can then walk away whenever you are ready.
Even in a bar I'm known I pay the bin every 5 Singas./ (300 Baht). Call it the KISS principal.

Just don't try and get back more than you actually lost though.
Having the Tourist Police seen entering and leaving a shady business may deter someone else from frequenting the place. Also, the scam may come to the attention of anyone who's drinking there at the time.
My mate got scammed with one of those 'One Free Beer' sex shows 20 years ago and got his money back.

Patpong is a a sewer and anyone who has been there once if they have any common sense should never go back.The upstairs bars in particular are total traps and when you get scammed,pay the price and regard it as a learning experience.
I have disputed bills and also what was promised and what was delivered in Patpong bars, upstairs and downstairs
they start by looking mean and angry but soon change into nice people when I explained the situation calmly and politely
I suppose they expect the worst and are happy when nothing happens
I have reported your post
So you were there to witness the events then?Originally Posted by Lorenzo
The only time I have seen situations get out of hand is when farangs start to mouth off and I did ask the question and the OP answered it. Best to remain cool and call for the tourist police who I have found out personally are very helpful in such situations.
And I wont insult you as you did me.
Why bother ?? FKS just keep right away from the shithole alltogetherOriginally Posted by molineux
Most unknown bars and some frequented best to pay as you drink.
Chairman Mao has nailed it.
If you frequent these whorehouses and the like, you are gonna get shafted sometimes, not just in Patpong, any like establishment in Thailand
Some places are worse than others, and from experience, the places you are most likely to be done are the quiet places like Patpong or Nana Plaza , and more so if you appear a little tipsy
To make such a fuss over 100 baht is fukkin stupid,
You will lose
How do you think these Thai bouncers see us Farangs, coming over here buying their women ?
Find another area to drink, although Black Pagoda looks good a week on Friday
Best Wishes with thatOriginally Posted by molineux
