Hi All

[toffo]

Must be just a Buriram scam then.. Not one farang bar has a pool table here so having to pay looks correct.. What would happen if you just got a solicitor involved as if its not illegal to own a pool table then how can they just take it or ask for money...

Its just the easiest of the scames for the local BiBs to run. This scam is very seldom used in your tourist areas. If they thank they have a wink link they will jump on it.

So you would think the MIB would try to find away to extract money from football games etc,ie,if pool tables are considered gambling,then sure as shxt people are betting on live broardcasts for football,conficate the bars TV as well....??

What makes you thank they don't ?

I don't know Gotlost,as I haven't heard of that being done mate,but it would be just as crazy as the pool table scam,me thinks.

Personally I would think the worst thing you can do would be to involve a solicitor,,,, most of them are corrupt anyhow & you'd have the BiB on your back forever.... Remember what happened to the International Bar?

[toffo]

Id refuse to pay money for a pool table.. would you??

[JasonB]

Hi Toffo,I would normally say I wouldn't pay on principal alone,but this being Thailand,I'd have to agree with Nookie's remark too.....you can't make enemies with the plod here,weather running a business here or not,if the plod are off side with you they can make your life hell in many ways.....maybe get to a senior cop here and buy him some beers and whatever,and become friends,that at least should get you some room to get away with some things,maybe,Jason.

Sorry Toffo not here mate,,, all it would do is to become a meeting point/magnet for the young village buffalo's. My place is normally wrapped up by 15-00hrs(except for Sundays & serious drinking sessions)

Sorry for intruding. Thought this was a topic to introduce ones self. Don't know a thing about pool tables.

Sometimes it goes where it goes, but there was an introductory question about places to play pool
