Kata Beach, Phuket Bar Scams
Written by Ex-Kata Expat   
Wednesday, 04 June 2008

I used to live on Kata Beach. I reported this before to the local police just to see how they would react but alas.... they get paid off to shut up and ignore the scams.
 The Guest House name is: Sviga House

Owners names, Ben: Thai woman and Arnoo Nrowegian owner.

Location Kata Night Bazaar, Kata Centre Phuket

Bar names, Whale bar and generally the bars in Kata Night Bazaar location.
The girls there get the customers drunk then add drinks to their bills without the guys knowing. If that doesn't work then they lace the drinks or spike the drinks with some epileptic medicine (like a date rape drug) and then take the customers home and take them for as much as possible. In the morning the guy wakes up and cant remember a thing.The Whale bar is owned buy the same guest house and they have the family, females and male, working the bar and scamming customers.

The other is in Karon on the beach front, bar name Boon Bar (Owner name Nok, female and male) this is a where the owner of the bar along with the girls deliberately inform customers about their friends being single, so nice, so honest and fresh etc.... the guys believe the tall stories and take the girl on. The girls then advise the guy to send her money everyone (she gives it all to her sick child blah...blah). It is all complete nonsense. When the guy (infact, she has loads of them) sends her money she gives commission to her frineds and owner for all the gullible lies that helped say. Then even hire the odd Farang to bring in other Farang friends to get lied to, he also cgets paid t come out with the bulls**t of how genuine the girls are, and commission on over-priced drinks.

Seems you have a lot of learning to do about thai womens mindset.

You are right, there is many scams in Thailand, especially of course where there is tourists and then of course money. Even if you book a trip you will experience many annoyances, the last trip I took was in March 2008, I decided to see Phi-Phi Lei and Maya Beach, on the trip we where supposed to go to about 5 places (different Islandstops). We went to 2.... When I confronted the guide on the horrible speedboat (hard wawes)about this, He replied> If you want to see the other Islands you maybe want to book your own yacht or boat... A comment like this says it all about how different the culture is in this country. I mean First of all, you expect some curtiosy, second you dont talk back, especially when the customer is right?? The guide of this speedboat (located in laguna north of Phuket Town) said it was bad weather..
Absolutely NOT! The weather was calm and so where the sea. They have many years to go before they even get close to being nice. And truthfull. -Sincereely Peter, many times in thailand,Phuket.
