Scratch dog Disco at Windsor Hotel
Written by Peter   
Tuesday, 15 July 2008

Been to Bangkok several times for long periods, this only happend once at the one place to me,  but be aware.

Went clubbing with friends at Scratch dog (basement of windsor suites hotel)    As  it got late around 4.30 a.m  (they close at 5 a.m)  one waitor came up to us with a bill for 900 Bath  claiming it was for ice bucket and mixers that we previously ordered, since i don`t drink I could clearly remember alreeady paying for all the ice and mixers,  he was very presistant on us paying, and presented a croumbled upp bill,  we refused and demanded to speak with the manager, we keept arguing for about 5 min before he gave up. 

ps: when paying try to note the number on the waiter taking the payment if he/she are supposed to bring u change.  I once payed a male waitor 1000b (since i did not have anything smaller) the bill was for about 250b.  He never returned with the change,  probably ended up in his pocket...    and since all the waiters have matching uniforms and caps,  u can imagine it was impossible to recognise him.

To add on late night clubbing and the need to note the person that takes your change etc.. I was at Spicy after hours club. Have been there many times and on good terms with security ppl there etc..

One night, checked in 1/2 bottle of JW Black as I was leaving (you can reserve your bottle for another night). The waiter never returned with my bottle ticket. All the waiters were paraded out in front of me so that I could identify who took it, and I could not recognize who it was.

I think it was a scam that most were in on, including the manager. I dont think the person that took the bottle was brought out. They got my 1/2 bottle of liquor because I did not pay attention.

I almost got ripped off by a sneaky waiter. Lucky for me I had just used the clubs cash machine and still had my reciept. When I told the manager, the waitress said I had given him the exact change. Anyway, I showed them the cash-slip and what was left in my wallet.... obviously 1000baht had gone somewhere... he denied denied denied... the manager went through his reciepts and found my order; but no cash payment was recorded. Manager begins grilling the waiter and then advises me that he thinks I might have the wrong guy. He goes off with the little bugger before coming back five minutes later with my change.... and this happened at quite an upmarket place.... probably why I got it back.

Still, at least the government pretends it is doing something. Has anyone ever had to endure the Malaysians? WoW!

Unless the waiter (no.8) had a twin then I'm pretty sure I narrowly avoided a shifty.

The staff at Scratch dog can sometimes be drunk and very unfriendly. I dont doubt that they run scams.
The other night two of the staff (one with a scar on his face, i think his number was 21) was obviously trying to start an altercation with some of my foreign friends that hadn't done anything to provoke him.

Would really like to see him fired, but i dont think Scratch dog is actually a part of the Windsor hotel, so sending in a civilized complaint is probably not gonna do the trick.

It's not a 'scam place', it's run as a proper business and is often packed, although scams may go on amongst a few of the staff.
