• If I had a local it would be U Too Bar opposite Alcazar on Second Road. Plenty of seats, plenty of TVs showing live sports, plenty of pool tables, plenty of attractive ladies and plenty of good service. I was in earlier this week and was tipped off to the fact that they are taking delivery of a new batch of girls. Problem is I forgot to ask the key question, i.e. are the new girls seasoned campaigners or farm fresh. You'll just have to head down there to find out for yourselves

 

• Bumped in to Ricky in Babydolls, (Soi 15) and he mentioned he'd been asked by the owners to maintain the standards. He said he wasn't having any of that.

Babydolls with Ricky will be one to watch that's for sure.

Babydolls have reduced ALL bar fines to 300 Baht from 1.30 am each day.

• You used to be able to determine a Thai girl's marital status by looking at her ID card. That's because her ID card had the title nang sao (Miss) or nang (Mrs.) before her name. Not any longer. A change in the law says that Thai women no longer have to change their title when they get married. In fact, they even can change nang back to nang sao if they get divorced. [via Asian Sweethearts]

Ed. This seems perfectly reasonable to me. Maybe they could use the space freed up on the card to show how many kids she's got or even better, how many buffalo. You can then access up front the financial risk of hooking up with the girl
