Experienced Sunee Plaza watchers will be enthralled by the latest late night bout of inter bar arguments. On two occasions police have been called to calm down various groups of drunken Germans who have spent drinking time exchanging insults across the soi from one bar to another.
These involve Bar A, new, german owned, nicely decorated and famous for hardly ever having any customers, and Bar B, old, established, slightly seedy, popular with expats and teenagers and almost always full every night.
The german bar has got the usual support from other german presences within the Plaza although many have asked why one in particular would want to get involved, bearing in mind his record back in Germany. Much better he keeps cooking potatoes.
Fortunately, the last two nights have been calm. However, the Bar A remains empty and Bar B, last night anyway, didnt have a seat free. Lets hope sanity returns and nothing further is done to dent high season fun.
Seriously, the golden rule in business is if you are a farang, then dont pick an argument with a Thai. They have all the aces.
