I think its something they put in the water over there. Anybody remember Bernard who owned a bar on sunee opposite the old Sports bar (now Corner bar).He was always a strange slightly menacing character.Anyway one night I was having a late night session with some friends in Sports when he completely lost it, ran across the soi and attacked his ex Thai boyfriend with a knife.He then ran through his bar and up to the third floor where he threatened to jump. The cops and TV were soon on the scene and eventually was coaxed down and bused off to Soi 9.
A few days later he was out again, this time on the back of a pick up truck with a massive wooden lion which he triumphantly transferred to his bar as a sort of sign of his omnipotence.. It was said that his family had connections to the Austrian government and a word in the right ear had got him an early release. The boy was very lucky as although the knife had gone right through the side of his torso no serious damage had been done(I saw the scars myself). Anyway justice was dished out a little later when a group of the boys friends (allegedly after a bung from a certain go go bar owner further down the soi)arrived in Sports and proceeded to hack him about with an assortment of knives and machetes.Soon after he disappeared from Sunee and the last I heard he was in BKK.
