Members Riobard Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 First time this week that real time busyness data is pinging beyond rock bottom, in fact ‘’more busy than usual’ 21:00-21:45. These aggregate anonymized signals are not always completely reliable but it’s something. Maybe even a large protest or prayer meeting, candlelight vigil etc close enough to register. 😉 Oops, then dropped to “less busy”. Management could be communicating better on media for its fan base but has never been particularly regular. Sometimes it’s due to staff turnover without password succession.

It was down permanently months before I visited when I researched all the venues, the link broken or expired. Not uncommon, as many places simply keep a Facebook or other social media account that does not require a webmaster or URL hosting platform. I used to pay $hundreds a year for a business site that had no content updates but the host wouid make alterations if desired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Riobard Posted March 10 Members Share Posted March 10 I finally texted my contact working there a long time with a binary question: re-opened or not. Very cryptic response sent Sunday afternoon. Just that there is a problem now. jamiebee and vinapu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shax Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 If (and hopefully not) they do have to close down, hopefully we'll know where the boys will go to next 🙏🙏🙏 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfort Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Sounds concerning, I have visited new smaller premises and previous over the the road countless times and often great fun and happy memories! I arrive back in Bangkok on Friday for a couple of weeks holiday and will certainly check it out and let you know what I can find out but fingers crossed they will sort it out Riobard, stijntje, TT007 and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moses Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 1 hour ago, vinapu said: March and April are only months I was not in Thailand yet. You are lucky. Hottest months, esp. in BKK. Watching Thais wash Buddha statues at this time does not compensate for having to carry all your documents, money and phone in sealed plastic bags, or dodging attempts by drunken tourists to throw water on you after sunset (and often it is ice water). You will be doused with water both with your consent and from behind. They will throw water on you when you are decently dressed, walking down the street to have dinner in a restaurant, when you are talking on the phone, when you are riding in a tuk-tuk. Drunk tourists do not know their limits, and they believe that Songkran is not the time when Buddha statues are washed and relatives and people passing by are blessed with this water, but this is a holiday of water hooliganism and mischief. Once I visited this “holiday”, I will never return to Thailand in April. vinapu, BL8gPt and Patanawet 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I visited this “holiday”, I will never return to Thailand in April. What you said above must be true as I heard it many times but still there are people, including our members who like that time in Bangkok so I'm tempted to see who is on the right side of the truth. Sad thing is that most miscreants are foreigners , not locals. Certainly i wouldn't carry passport and phone on the street with me at that time. Hottest month sounds even more scary but i so often say ' go and check for yourself' that part of me is tempted to do what I preach floridarob, reader and Patanawet 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
