Guest Astrrro Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Word on the street is that Sundance will be reopening next week but as a beer bar instead of a gogo. B) Quote
Guest HeyGay Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Yes Colin the Scottish Boss, told me he is opening an open Host bar there far less problems he says. He does read all the forum's as most of the farang owners do, but seems to be a bit shy to write here, come on Colin! put your fingers on the keys, it not painful Also jimmy of Jim Jim Jimmys youve got my e,ail let us know when your reopening you know we love your well run club and want to be there when you do soon.

Guest Astrrro Posted September 18, 2009 Posted September 18, 2009 Now the Corner Bar is SOLD, get ready for changes there, I was there last night and wouldn't want to see any changes. Boys that don't hassle u and a half bottle of Sang Som including a bunch of mixers for 260 makes it a cost effective place for farangs to hang out and shoot the breeze. Quote
Guest joseph44 Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 I always get mixed up: There are 2 bars on a corner. One with about 50 seats in a rather fancy look; rattan 'design' chairs and a pool-table next to Villa Rouge and the other one (opposite) looking a bit 'cheaper' with plastic chairs and next to Redgy's Bar. Which of the 2 is the Corner Bar? Quote
Guest Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Corner bar is the fancier of the two. However, the plastic chairs bar has a much better view IMHO. That is the bar that is a real gold mine if someone were to take it over and fix it up nice. But, their "regulars" seem to like the plastic and cheap prices. It might just destroy the place. Corner Bar is a nice bar with a good location and I wish the new owner great success. Quote

Last time I was in Sunee enjoying a drink in Wan's Place which is more or less immediately opposite, I asked what it was called and was told "Green Bar". I don't know if that's its official name but even if not it seems appropriate. Quote
Guest Astrrro Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 Spoke to the owner of Corner Bar tonight and he said the bar was not sold, just an unfounded rumour. Nice place to shoot the shit with other farangs and not much more expensive than Minimart 24. Quote
Guest Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I do hope the English man opens up a beer bar. I think he would do well with one. I think his biggest mistake over the years was putting too much trust into some of his employees. Sometimes you don't have a choice but in that business, you have to watch them like a hawk. Not something I would be good at. Quote
Gaybutton Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I do hope the English man opens up a beer bar. Actually, he is Scottish. A few minutes ago I received a response from the owner of Corner Bar. He said his bar has not been sold and the person who posted that it had been sold never spoke to him at all. I was asked to remove the portion of the post that claimed the bar was sold and I have done so. I have also heard from other bar owners. I have to ask that people do not post personal information about others or rumors about business dealings. I was asked to make it clear that if a bar owner wants his business dealings posted, he'll either post it himself or will contact me and ask me to do the posting about it. I ask that my request voluntarily be honored, so that I won't have make sure it is forcibly honored. Ok? Thank you. Quote

How Strange considering, Mr “GayThailand himself” originally broke the news of the “Corner Bar” being sold on here or had heard it may be, and 3 people advised me it was on the verge of being sold, may be the sale has fallen through and they are looking for a better offer or they want to just disappear with out any fuss or may be they think customers will stop coming when they know its sold. I normally double check my sourses, but as I'm in Bangkok the only reason I said it was sold, is because 3 individual people, told me who dont know each other, and GayThailand had heard the same. In future I will make sure as I normally do, that my sourses are genuine, even though I think as so many people know, something is going on. Time will tell. Quote
Guest Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I don't see bar owners posting here or active in the community of forum boards. Until they do, they run a business which relies on customers. As such rumors will be there. We will try to protect those we know are untrue but we will not be removing posts or editing posts every time a bar owner requests it. There is a difference between a libelous post and one asking questions. Quote

Hear Hear, my sentiments exactly, what they says to people in the bar and wonder why its repeated on the forums and what they say after, is 2 different things. Good on you GT I know I have gone through this before with Corner Bar, the owner told me personally he wanted to sell, when I told the story to, as I thought to help him, he got a Catty person to contact the web site, to say its not for sale, when I next met the owner, he said he did not complain, he would not know how to, another guy did it, all he was upset about was, quote :- "I put the wrong price" so as its on now the market, if it’s not sold yet, I’m sure it will be soon, if the price is right, same as the boy you can off there.

Gaybutton Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Fine, but be damned careful about what you say. The one caught right in the middle of these disputes is me, and that's not a position I appreciate being placed in. I didn't post these things, but I'm always the recipient of the complaints and I'm the one living here and having to deal personally with these people. It places me in a no win situation. If I leave these posts alone, I'm the one who has to take the heat from the victims of the posts. If I do something about the posts, I'm the one who has to take the heat from the message board end. Either way, through no fault of my own, I end up taking the heat. Meanwhile, none of these posts came from me in the first place. GT has advised me that when this kind of issue comes up, he prefers that I just make the post invisible rather than edit anything out. From now on that's what I'll do. It's his board and I'll abide by his wishes. Quote

Yes we will all have to make sure the Information we write is proven, not hearsay in future, there is no way we want to get you GB into trouble and people talking about you all over the forums and Bars of Pattaya, let Quote

PattayaMale Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 It is easy to sit on the sidelines and mouth off when you don't have to be responsible. GayButton is a responsible man. May I suggest that Gay Thailand would add HeyGay as a moderator since HeyGay seems to profess knowing so much. How about it GT? Quote

Dear PattayaMale, Those who volunteer others are often secretly wanting to do it themselves. I accept your offer to moderate. Thank you! Quote
PattayaMale Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 I did not mean to volunteer anyone, just trying to be......a troublemaker! So as you can see from that, I have the utter most problem even moderating ME! Quote

Don't worry PattyaMale, the very fact you have a sense of humor, you way ahead many other guys who want to moderate, there is no way I want to be hated by half the readers of these forums, I'm hated by the other half all ready, and you thought no one had anything in common with GB its the other half that cant stand him, if your to beleive his bad press It must be a gay thing, making some people popular, for being unpopular.

Guest Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 That's funny when I went to Zimbabwe a couple of years ago, to help a friend who had had his farm he had in his family for 43 years, taken over by The President's men, No one would never say anything nasty about the President there either, I don't know if it was because you were beaten to death, had anything to do with it, but if I was to believe what they told me, all is wonderful there also. I know you two secretly have a crush on each other. All this nasty talk is just foreplay! Quote
Guest jomtien Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 GayButton is loved on this board. UH.....yeah...... He's the one that complained about revealing personal information. Then he said the farang owner of Sundance was Scottish, not English. Well I'm sure the Sundance guy it just pleased as punch to be outed as a Penny-Pinching, Haggis-Eating, Kilt-Wearing Git! Does he have a small dick too? Quote
Gaybutton Posted September 20, 2009 Posted September 20, 2009 Does he have a small dick too? I don't know. Would you care to have me reveal to the world the size of your own? I won't do that, though. You already have enough to be embarrassed about . . . Quote
