Members MsGuy Posted October 23, 2014 Members Posted October 23, 2014 OK, so did this raid occur because the bar was gay or because it was unlicensed or because of the drugs? Or maybe because the owner wasn't taking care of the police? Also, is it SOP for the police to detain all the customers in a bar raid? Just wondering if someone here has any information to offer on this incident. If I copied it right, here's a video of the gay Thai-Pop star arrested at the bar. Quote
TotallyOz Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 To me, it sounds like the bar didn't pay the money to the police that is normally paid. But, I have friends that own bars and a license is required. Drugs are very taboo. It is not an issue in Thailand that a star was caught here as sexuality is not an issue with most in the country and it won't affect his popularity. Quote
Members RA1 Posted October 23, 2014 Members Posted October 23, 2014 Things never change. In the 1930;s my father told me that fireman broke the gambling tables in the back of a shop on Beale Street. Not because of the gambling but because the owner was not paying his "fees". Best regards, RA1 Quote

Thanks for the answer. ==== And I may not understand a word of Thai, but the visuals on his video gave me the impression he wasn't hiding his fondness for guys. Quote

Members lookin Posted October 24, 2014 Members Posted October 24, 2014 Please rate tie bar.Do you prefer something colorful? Or basic black? Maybe classic gold? Or perhaps something a bit less dressy? Whatever you decide, please don't forget the payoff! AdamSmith and RA1 2 Quote
Members RA1 Posted October 24, 2014 Members Posted October 24, 2014 The payoff is always fun. Best regards, RA1 Quote
Members MsGuy Posted October 24, 2014 Author Members Posted October 24, 2014 Fun yes. But sometimes the payoff gets a little stiff when you're on a budget. Quote
Members RA1 Posted October 24, 2014 Members Posted October 24, 2014 I always get a little stiff before the payoff, budget or not. Best regards, RA1 Quote
