Winking Frog Pad Locked - D _ _ _ k on the lam
Another it was there and now it's gone bar story. If only he had had a personality that was palatable instead of being a total wanker.
I heard about this yesterday afternoon then stopped by and took a quick look inside. Broken glass and his new custom drink coasters scattered all over the floor. Selectively expensive fixtures, electronics, equipment, and stock was mostly gone. Lot of crap left behind.
A little over two two weeks ago he was delivered a bit of a beating and black eye that kept him under cover for over a week. Never heard the story on that, though he was still sporting the shiner last week.
The following is paragraph is all assumption and supposition and a bit of an educated guess.
After hours late last week (Thur? or Fri?). After the staff was dismissed for the night, the place was gutted of valuables and thrashed in the process. This had to have been a fairly well planned operation; shit they even took the long center counter top. Then before anyone was the wiser he was back to his old haunts to the West. No great loss!
If you received any bargains recently from this guy I would keep quite. The lien holders will be looking for someone they can touch.
This was a classic failure due to bad management. Bad in about six forms of the word. I hope he was decent enough to take care of the staff.
Sorry no real facts here; I only posted because I looked and saw nothing here. If anyone knows something more . . .

Get off the grass sunsan,hes not talking about a gentleman here.
Lots of good rumours swirling around.
1.barangs next door locked up because they bought TVs at the midnight sale and the building owner has claimed ownership of all chattels.
2.Said owner smashed things in a rage.
3.Two barangs who were asleep in their rooms were locked in.
Had to hang a huge banner out the window with SOS on it.
Hows that?
nah made up the bit about the banner.
I heard over a week before closure that the axe was about to fall,staff didnt like him either.
Certainly a few people owed money over this one.
Now what happened to huxleys?

Clarifications if needed.
Facts:
He was behind on the rent.
He had a several months long habit of not paying some people even small bills.
He was beat up for some reason a couple of weeks ago.
He owes money to multiple people.
He always insisted he was the manager not the owner.
The place is currently pad locked with a guard.
The place inside on the ground floor is thrashed.
Most of the expensive goodies are gone.
Some things where literally ripped out.
The buildings owner was taking inventory of what was left behind and the damage today.
The security guard is keeping a list of people who come looking for him.
The police are involved.
The police are looking so likely they do not have him.
Unknown:
Was the beating related to this?
How many people got shafted?
In hiding, In a ditch, In a cell or BACK IN THAILAND
Educated Guesses:
The goodies where sold for parting cash.
The Winking Frog has ceased to exist.
Anyone looking for him had best look in Thailand.
Your bar tab is forgiven.
Somebody's going to score a nice slightly used espresso machine soon.
My Sources:
ANZ
Vendor
Security Guard #1
Building's Owner
and of course Moto Dops
What I do not know is the real hard details, like:
why now
when exactly
who got the stuff
how much are we talking about
by road or by plane
wheres the beer and liquor
what the rooms look like now
why I didn't I get to bid on a flat screen
Please think! Before you criticize.
I attempted to clearly stated what was option, fact and conjecture.
I clearly stated I was only posting because no one else had in three days. That alone should tell you how popular this place was, NOT! I just though someone here might be curious or know more. It is unlikely any of the dozen regular customers might ever read this forum.
FYI: I have a friend with a place a few doors down and we had a habit to go sit in the Frog to get away from the staff and chat every couple of weeks or so for the last several months. I had been in the Frog in the daytime before when the building owner was there and at other times when people came in looking for money. This guy had few acquaintances and fewer friends. He was tolerated not liked by those who knew him.

That bar was in an inconvenient location and there was no reason to make the effort to go there.
Also, there were annoying handmade signs behind the bar saying "wash your hands after using the restroom." I already know to do that, thank you. If you want to remind me, put the signs in the restroom, not behind the bar.

I don't think it was debt that caused Frogman's spectacular downfall, although there is no doubt he was in debt up to his eyeballs.
The more pressing reason for his expat status being terminated with extreme prejudice might have had something to do with him greatly pissing off another longtime expat business owner with seriously heavy connections. And we will not speculate on who that expat business owner may or may not be.

Was in winking friday night, this is the facts as related by dell and phil, dell was Manager. Usual crap written on this site, yeah dell had a couple of scraps but this was manly down the the money behind winking dragging there heels and not really having a clue to what this place is really like. two months grace for rent to be paid in contract rent not paid for 3 weeks, owner the Gov of Kandel Prov. demanded his money that night, dell ask share owners to fly in and speak with owner about this weeks ago, they dragged there heels. that friday owner brings in goons to intimadate staff and customers whilst he plays god at end of bar. i watched this animal behavoir myself, try calling any Tourist Police embassy etc for assitance what a joke.
Well i had a flight next morning, but i know huxleys was another rent, we want the building back issue and i know all staff paid in full, in both cases.
Won't be posting on this site anymore you 99% clicky cocks, enjoy your cheap beers and cheaper lives.

Yup. This was the tourist who was begging for advice on another thread, got his advice (http://www.khmer440.com/chat_forum/view ... hp?t=13163) and didn't even have the courtesy to thank for poster who helped him with his Kep questions. Then he comes for his holiday and 5 minutes later he's a Cambodia expert. What a completer dickhead.Somehow I've got the feeling you won't be missed.

Thread Bearer, I enjoyed your second post, well layed out and entertaining. I know nothing of the Winking Frog aside that it was near Naga World (and I do not even know if that is correct.)
I would ad that I had a list a year ago of 4 bar owners that had really irked me and attacked my character wrongfully at various times... that said they are now:
One is in Jail
One was kicked out by his landlord
One cannot afford to renew his visa (atleast a year past due) and generally wears the same two shirts everyday...
and One left his bar for nothing because his Khmer family screwed him over...
The point is that they were the ones of bad character and that is why they all fell down, way down, just in the last year.... maybe something similar to this Winking Frog character?
I will drink happily tonight to each of their demise.
