Nothing happens in Bangla Road or Patong without Police knowing. Posted by Billy on December 15, 2011 20:09 
You risk your life every time you step inside one of those bars. If the drugs they slip you don't get you, the diseases those girls give you later will. I read a report recently that up to 40% of bargirls working in Pattaya are HIV+. I have no idea what the figure is for Phuket, but it's probably not much lower.

Since I came to Patong 3 months ago this happened to me 3 times, so basically once a month. I wake up in the late afternoon or once even at 9 pm feeling groggy even though I probably went to bed about 2 am. I was out cold and couldn't remember how I got back home. Luckily didn't lose any money yet, but I'm sure I was drugged in one of the bars on Soi Katoey. Posted by Guillaume on December 15, 2011 23:57 
In 2009 I was drinking at a bar in Soi Eric. I can handle my alcohol, but after 4-5 drinks I could hardly walk straight. I made it out to my motorbike, I remember a girl approaching me and asking if she could go with me. I declined and foolishly made it home to Soi Nanai. There I fell on my bed completely clothed and woke up the next morning and found I had pissed in the bed. I may have avoided being robbed, but I could have died on that motorbike ride home. Take care out there boys. Posted by Capealava on December 16, 2011 01:51 
Sometimes its the price you have to pay if you want to continue to exploit young bar girls for sexual gratification Posted by uwe on December 16, 2011 05:41

How many tourists will see this warning here? Why doesn't the Tourism Authority of Thailand issue the warning also? Posted by larry on December 16, 2011 07:15 Editor Comment: The danger only applies to those tourists who go drinking alone in Patong. The other 99.9 percent of Phuket visitors are not at risk.

Uwe, you are right. Fat old foreigners abuse young Thai girls in Thailand every day so who can blame the girls for trying to get equal and settle the scores? If the girls would do it more often, then perhaps the perverts would think about not coming to Thailand to indulge their lust for young girls. Posted by Gunther on December 16, 2011 16:27 
they named a bar in the press release, why no name in the article?? Posted by Cagliostro on December 16, 2011 20:40 Editor Comment: Because as the media release says: ''Please note there is nothing to suggest that the bar is involved in this activity, but rather an individual may be using that venue to pick off unsuspecting individuals.'' 
I would not rely on someone to watch my beer for me, there are too many distractions, I always finish my beer before going for a pee. Posted by Frank Tomenson on December 16, 2011 22:45 Editor Comment: Ah but Frank, what if you're on Phi Phi and you've bought yourself a bucket? (I guess you take it with you, everywhere.) 
I heard someone swear the bar he was at spiked his drink with viagra. Posted by Mikey on December 16, 2011 23:15

No surprise why the girls in the papers are still walking around bangla road if this is the answer.
''The police are aware of it - one of the bars where it happens is owned by a policeman''
