Please Help - Advice Needed from those in the Know

[chris_heaton 4]

Have to admit I am a bit worried about this.

 

Those bar owners who read this will be aware of all the strange rules in Thailand about shows and go-go's etc. You will also know I have been posting info about the shows and party's here. Also been told by my friendly police friend (All bars have one!) That the bar next door has complained that we have shows.

 

Well last night a black car with blacked out wndows and NO number plate pulled up outside the bar. Three Thai men got out and started making notes about our bar. They then phoned someone then started taking pictures of the bar and the first floor. Next they went into the bar next door then the guesthouse opposite. They then got in the car and drove off.

 

I am very worried about this and would like to ask any member who has any idea what this was about to let me know.

 

Needless to say, for now all shows cancelled but the Parties go on!

 

Regards

 

Chris

Get a good lawyer on standby, if he's good then he'll get the info on whats going on.

If you haven't got a work permit stay low for a bit.

The shows and stuff that you've posted is illegal remember.

The guys could have been from anywhere, revenue, licensing, labour dept, immigration, soi 9, city hall I don't believe any mafia stuff but your friendly neighbourhood bars might have thrown a spanner in your works?

id go with what dave has just posted, but id reckon its more than likely the immigration police .

 

so the shows have to stop and you must be very careful to avoid anything that might be construed as work in or around your place.

 

speak to a lawyer and have him on standbye if and when they come a knocking.

Chris,

I would just add that, if you haven't already done so, get those topless girls covered up. I seem to remember a place in Jomtien last year that got closed down because the girls were playing pool topless.

 

Hope you don't have any serious problems.

Can't your wife find out what's going on.?

[Guest anto1]

Looks like you should stop the shows,and get the photos and info of them already posted off this board .Hope you don't have a problem and that things work out .

[007cableguy 10]

it sounds like it might have been the same guys who were doing the rounds in jomtien fineing bars for copied music ,they had a similar motor !

They're probably calculating what your future Tea Money is gonna be.

 

Are the neighbouring bars Thai or Falang owned? One of them is playing dirty by the sound of it.

[chris_heaton 4]

Well I think I have found the answer. The guy from the Guesthouse opposite remembers them going in and talking to his staff in Thai. After a bit he got fed up with them yakking in Thai to each other so he told his staff to get on with their work. That's when the 3 guys spoke English and identified themselves. Turned out they were Thai Security looking for any Thai from the south who may be staying in the guesthouse. (Remember this was shortly after the bombs).

 

As for someone telling the police about the shows, That has happened already. Our friendly local policeman said the Thai Lady owner of the bar next door has complained to them about the shows! Guesse she didn't like her bar emptying whenever we had a show, even though after the show all her customers went back!

 

At the moment all shows are cancelled. We are still having parties, Had a good one on Saturday! But no shows till our entertainment licence arrives.

 

Regards

Chris
