Agreed. It's good to wind down after day's slog in a place with people you can relate to. I fly out of here for my jollies.Quote:

Main thing is whatever gimmick your market your bar under it should provide

So really who gives a fok what theme a bar claims to be, it's all down to whether you enjoyed your night and would you be going back
I tend to avoid anything that looks like it's non Thai, unless I am in need of conversation using lots of nice long words, a big TV screen or alternative people watching. Having said that, I really enjoy listening in on White blokes chatting up Thai chicks. Some of the stuff they come out with...... :)
Ive heard all the stories about Crazy Daves and can honestly say ive never had food poisoning once.Quote:
