Paul James that’s understandable. Helping out your own staff and being employed as a bar attendant or sever is another story. I’ve seen mangers helping out around their own bar many times. But, I have yet to see a foreigner employed in such role.
I’ve been to hundreds of bars in pattaya. I have yet to see one foreigner working behind the bar. All I’ve ever seen were owners and managers. I’d be surprised to see any serving drinks.
I’ve been in that line up before, it wasn’t fun standing out there for hours in the heat.
It’s a dangerous spot too. I seen a woman get hit by a motorcycle there trying to cross the road. So many people next to a busy road = accidents just waiting to happen.
