Nice Boys In Sunee

[StevieWonders]

Gosh I am going to be awfully unpopular on this one, I fear, but... Hey of all the causes I can think of supporting, I must say that the "local gay bar" in Sunee would be far down my list. Here (in Hawaii as perhaps in your part of the world as well) we have a deluge of homeless people, hungry children, people losing their unemployment benefits and their health insurance -- well I could go on and on.

I am supporting several Thai 'friends' as they struggle through this pandemic, but sorry I am not about to send off money to a "bar" in Sunee at this time hoping that the money will trickle down to the most needy. No way.

Surely dab’s point is that those of us who live here (“expatriates”) are to be commended for spending money at local businesses so that when the tourists return the business will still be there to welcome them? In my part of Thailand (Bangkok) the gay bars of Silom Soi 4 are clearly struggling to attract any customers at all mid-week. Even the Xmas Dinner promotion that Balcony had on Xmas Eve attracted numbers barely in the double figures. I ate at G’s on Saturday night and it was not so busy that Guido could not triz around camping it up for his regular customers. One does one’s best to support every local business one can.
