    That sums up 99% of the soapdodger's Ive met here to a tee !!

    The good old days.
    Yet, only but a few can relate.

    Others are wannabes.

    No idea about history of Patters Cheap Charlies but on occasion dropped into the one on Suk 11. 30 years ago give or take. I thought it was the original but maybe the Patters one is older.

    Two different places I think Norts. CC's in BKK was an outside Thai bar run by Charlie a Thai guy and family plus a few staff. Outdoor bar with a few stools. The rest spilled out and you dodged a car or two.. No British connection at all. I heard another one re opened but not sure where.

    Thanks, but wow! Not exactly the same location. That place 30+ years ago was one of the great "first bars" of the world. 5pm it would have been packed out. Character it surely did have.

    The Cheap Charlie's in Pattaya would only be 2 years old, maybe 3.

    It's actually really authentically done out. Good place for it too.

    I foretold this over a year ago.

    The single greatest factor in this commercial denouement affecting the British pub style outlets is of course the Brexit devaluation of £ that has seen purchasing power reduced by 25% since 2015 when it was happily buying 54 baht but now 39 is the score on the exit door.

    But in truth, the entire Euro demographic took a hit in 2008 when the bankster crash pretty well fucked most folk.

    Fashions change but with the £ crash Thailand is simply not the bargain it was but the most discernible change in pattern is the absence of young folk - from the air headed backpackers to the lower end blue collar oik on his shagfest whoremongering two week binge, the young Brits have eschewed Thailand in their droves. In Euro terms, it is now solely patronised by grunters.

    But it is not just Pattaya and God's Terminal Dementia Ward, Hua Hin, witnessing this, Bangkok's Nana/Patpong and Soi Cowboy are similarly populated these days by a class of punter who will never see 55 again. I was up around Robin Hood/Fitzgeralds/ Royal Oak/ Herrity's recently and the vibe was pretty much the same - happy hour clientele were grunters after which they became two-thirds empty. The places that attracted a more cosmopolitan crowd from all over the world all featured a broad spectrum of ages and were full at any time.

    Retox was always destined for failure, serving a menu lifted straight out of the greasy spoon transport cafe playbook that was the mainstay of the lower class ageing blue collar oiks who are, quite literally, dying off without any replacement. And if the exchange rate was not enough, the recent withdrawal of income letters by the Brit embassy meant that a lump sum deposit of £25,000 + held for a minimum period of six months was the only route to residence and that has forced an estimated 20% of Brits in Pattaya alone to fuck off back to Blighty.

    Certainly, if the wingman pranged herself or found another Sqdn. Leader, I'd be offski back to Europe quicker than the shake of a lamb's tail held by an epileptic Taff having an orgasm.

    The thing is, once the grunters are gone, there is no-one else from the Brit demographic other than the working expats who remain and the two-weeker island/bkk/chiang mai mass market folk.

    Sausages, Thailand for most, and not only Brits was nearly always about cheap living and easy women. You bought into it so why the bitching when the environment changes?.

    ^ yup when i first came here in 2002 it was 75 baht to the pound and a bottle of Thai beer 25 baht, so 3 bottles for a pound. Now a pound gets you about 2/3 of a bottle so loss of purchasing power of about 400%.

    You are mistaken, you may well have "bought into" the cheap whore bingefest scenario because you are a lower class blue collar ditch digging oik with no breeding or education, but I most certainly did not.

    your predictions re. sexpat hangouts and greasy spoon caffs are certainly more prescient than your prognostications about finance, politics and world affairs generally.

    Did I? As far as i can see you are the one living in cesspit bay, in a flat with no option but to remain (as you stated) unless your bloke carks it or leaves you.

    I am still gainfully employed but sadly for you not in the construction industry, have property in the UK and elsewhere and am quite comfortable. As for class well persist in your notion that my parents were blue collar state dependant, seems that was your lot given your fathers posting to Sing.

    You seem to have overlooked the reality Tax which is of course not that surprising given you are evidently paddling in the pool of early-onset dementia.

    I foretold a Brexit vote would hasten the demise of £, lead to a contraction in the economy, threaten the GFA and engender political turmoil.

    Now, you may have drifted through events of the past three years in a dreamlike state whereby memories and perception have confabulated a weird new fantasy world, but most of us ae aware the £ has been devalued by at least 20% against a basket of currencies, manufacturing is at its lowest for a decade, the current account deficit has widened, the entire economy has stalled, and since the vote we are now on our third PM, the Tory party has destroyed itself and reformed into a proto-fascist gang of numpties led by a sociopathic corrupt egoist who cannot keep his dick in his pants as he clowns around doing cod impersonations of Winston Churchill.

    As a soothsayer of the times, I would think I have been pretty well spot on.
