What does HHAD (members) have against Toro ?

Post by **davo666** » Fri Sep 14, 2007 1:54 pm

I'm interested to know.... have ppl generally had more bad reports than good, or is it something else. I practically lived there for a week and found them to be most hospitable. I do note that once I was "Known" I seemed (via my lady friend) to get moved of the pool table rather quickly when a pack-ful of Brits would arrive. Seems new customers get prefernce over old, but that's simply business. I never had a beer go warm, or a bill I had to argue about. After a while the flower / watch / trinket sellers, et al, seem to leave you alone too. Must admit though, was kinda fun to have the flower sellers (most of 'em are only llittel girls) sit with me and my lady friend trying to show me the finer points of Connect-4. Still makes me chuckle.

anyway, Toro will be the first place i set foot in when i get back... wondering why it seems to get a bad rap.

Davo.

Never been a fan myself, 50 girls outside, get you in there and bugger off leaving you at the bar like a lemon (or maybee I'm not as hansom as they tell me). Can't the bar afford to pay them or what?

To be honest I'm fed up with the whole soi binterbart area, and haven't been into town for at least 10 months (I think this tends to happen if you have lived for some years) I drink at a nice quite, tourist free bar out of town, but cant tell you where as I want it all to myself....

I think it could be because it was of the more obviously girlie bars, when you are here all of the time it just isnt the most popular. Go in for a beer every now and again (beer has never been super cold!) but wouldn't really stay for more than one as a rule.
Guy who owns the place is a good fella, the bar just tends to attract more holiday makers, IMO.

Absolutely, Dr D!
Not sure where you got that idea from, OP, but the couple that run Happy Toro have been friends of mine for years. They're lovely people, and, as Dr D says, most of us mods were in there last weekend.

The OP may have been reading the below from the archives, as well as a few more from those days. Pete

I agree with you, Randy. Most of us who have been here for some time have found other venues. I visit the bar area once in a blue moon. There are many more 'local' restaurants/bars for a relaxing drink. I tend to go to an Isan restaurant nearby. A few huts on a piece of waste ground. Good food and 40 baht for a large Chang. My son and his friends have given it their own name - 'The Meadows'. Places like this make you very welcome, don't rip you off and none of the 'in your face' stuff you get in the town.

Tourists enjoy,but us longstayers have found a better alternative!

If that's the case, Pete, I wish people would look at the dates on the posts & realise that things are probably not the same 2 years later. Even the management has changed - hint 'Happy' Toro, now...

I know where!

Your secret's safe with me, Randy.

Anyone would PM me the

'nice quite, tourist free bar out of town' place or the
'Isan restaurant nearby. A few huts on a piece of waste ground' area ?

As I'm myself looking for more laid back atmosphere when I'm back in LOS.

Thanks.

Gotta agree with Randy - its a shil joint.

The lasses drag you in, sit you down, ponce a drink, then sod off. The service is also really hit and miss.

The only reason I ever go there is because my lass knows some of the girls and gets dragged in so I follow.....

Toro is not a bad place,the owners are nice,he is from denmark she is thai taking good care of her daughter,who is 21 and working in the bar more than one year now and a good and experianced bar girl already, mum can be proud of her! girls take care of you if you are doing also,
of course they leave you if you dont buy a drink for them or dont look handsome similar me! i always had good service there,in every case!

i would really appreciate to get to know the location of that " Isan restaurant nearby. A few huts on a piece of waste ground' area ". if someone wants to pm me the name and location i surely would by him (or her) a beer.

The Torro Bar always seems to be the busiest as they tend to have the nicest and youngest prostitutes. All the bars are the same, Pool Table, Fridge and Prosie's.

Take your choice, depends on what you are shopping for? If you want a nice draught beer then go to Crawford's, try Bacardi Bar near the Bus Station to Bangkok.
