Guys - fellow Forum members.

I apologize for my more recent posts - I started my diary as a way to keep all you guys, who do not have the pleasure to live here, up to date with all that is happening in my bar.
As you know I only opened at the beginning of March and I am grateful for all the support and interest.
I am also proud to have met many of you.

I have now read and absorbed all that has been said and recognize that the "Diary" has become just that - too personal an account.
So I propose I revert to telling you what happens and when.

I shall no longer post intimate information as that rightly belongs to my staff and their customer and not to the forum.
I am not a provider of photographic material but a lounge bar owner.

In line with my own standards any photos, I post of staff, will be "soft" - what you agree with a member of staff is "up to you" - all I ask is that you ask them first out of respect.

On May 2nd there are a number of Forum members meeting in my bar which I am really looking forward to.
If you are in town:
Club 131 Soi Yamato (13/1) from 19.00 2nd May

I would also like to bring you up to date re "staff" and "freelancers" - my staff are my responsibility and if you have problems with any of these please do tell me directly or in a PM - not on the forum.

The Freelancers are free to come and go to my bar but those, that do work in my bar, are there with my permission.
However I do not employ them so "up to you".

My staff is:

Alis
Am
Chin
Cindy
Da
Janni
Joy
Kwang (photo below)
Lek
Lio
Namfon
New
Noon (starting June 1st)
Oh
Pat
Pui

Frequent Freelancers are:

Pond
Noi
Noi 2
Vinni
Ann
Gap
Jije

In any business staff do change and I will make it my duty to update the "diary" as when changes are made.

So in closing thank you for the feedback - I admit I have probably got carried away in LB heaven and broken some of my own rules! Put it down to the enthusiasm I have to make Club 131 a preferred venue by you.
My apologies to all those persons I may have upset - it certainly was not intentional.
Regards and look forward to seeing you soon,

Franck
aka The Pirate

Franck - I'm glad you're back. I honestly didn't know if you were serious or not about your "au revoir". For those of us who have not yet had the pleasure of travelling to the LOS, your diary has been a source of enormous pleasure. For now, I'll have to live through you (holy shit! What a life!). I'm hoping that situation changes soon. If it does, you can be sure that the first place to which I'll head will be your club. Never having been on the scene, it was hard for me to understand this little flare up, and I wasn't even sure whether or not balou was being serious. All I know is that I love reading your diaries and I appreciate both the humor and the photos. Keep posting.

While I was composing my last post, Franck's latest came in with an apology to some forum members. I didn't see it before I posted, but I guess I now know that it was all serious. In any event, I'm glad everything is smoothed over. Personally, I like everything Franck submited and look forward to seeing it all in real life. The one thing that has me worried is Brit's thread about addiction. I could become addicted to stubbing my toe if it happened a few times in one day. If I get to LOS, ... Oh, well, I'm sure there are worse addictions.

Let's get back to the 'old days' when no-one knew anyone, happy days! That's the way I still think it should be. The internet has killed it.

Franck - glad to see that the Pirate is back - I thought you had been scuppered or "walked the plank"!

Your response is spot on - good for you to do so.

It takes a bigger man to recognise his mistake - I think what you say will be supported by the majority of members. I for one was delighted to see that you have clarified who is "staff" and who is not.

I think the diary is a great concept and keeps the forum alive on a regular basis - we all enjoy it but your promise for a more factual frequent report without too much intimacy will help preserve the mystique of waht we all enjoy. Those that prefer "head-on" information know where else to find it.

May your Treasure Chest be overflowing!!! See you on the 2nd - I may be late so leave something on ice for me. Thinking about it you do not have one called ice so just make it a beer!
Well done and keep the Skull and Crossbones flying you "Portugese man of war"

Let me first say that, I have always considered Franck a personal friend of mine. From the first time when he called a semi newbie and spent 30 minutes on the phone explaining the finer points of a ladyboy that he was introducing to me. I mean he actually tried helping me without really actually meeting me in person.

Well I learned one lesson very well from this gentelman....we farangs/lb devotees/ lb hunters...whatever you want to call us need and only benefit from sticking together and lending each other whatever help we can to each other. I actually try to live up to that concept. Well I learned this from Franck, nobody else.

So when Franck announced to me what he planned with Club 131 in Pattaya, I, of course, encouraged him and wished him the best of luck.

I was with him when he had to struggle with the pitfalls he fell into when the police raided his club days after his grand opening....to all readers he never mentioned the problems he had to endure including why it had to happen to him. Only in the past week or so has he alluded to what befell him then....I guess that was why he took the lead in trying to help Moo. It would have been easy to just tsk tsk about what happened to her and get on with his struggle to make Club 131 the premier destination for lb lovers in Pattaya. But no he didn't do that...he got involved , tried to set a good example for other good men to follow. Don't get me wrong... this guy isn't trying to portray himself as a good guy and better than anyone else, rather this is second nature for him. For those guys that made fun of his stated claim that he would have Moo work for him or whatever---sleep with her. Well he never said he didn't live to enjoy himself with a beautul ladyboy...but if anyone spent anytime with him, they would realize how many stunning beauties throw themselves upon him. I have seen it. Its not Franck...but the nature of these sanook loving ladyboys. They see the goodness in guys and see how well previous friends of his were treated. At the end of the day his present relationships have to stand on the results of all his previous relationships, very little is hidden or undisclosed among the Pattaya ladyboy community. So talk about fucking his daughters is rubbish...this is a guy who communicates in english as a second language. If only you guys realize how many times he has showed me a post and I showed him how to correct a few words and phrases to make them more understandible.

But Frank is Franck so it was not a surprise to me to see him spend a few days composing an apologetic statetement like I just read(I assume that was the reason for his absence). Even if he didn't have to, he thought that since he had offended a handful of readers, Franck tries to change his Diary in order to not offend any of its readers, promising to edit himself and restrict the pics he posts. Don't his attackers see the pics displayed in other parts of this website, I can only assume they suffer from a slight case of blindness whenever they log on.

I don't agree with his statement, but I support it. A Diary by its very nature has to include personal, emotional observations. I have observed myself that this lb hunting thing is an emotional activity feuled by I don't know what yet. Maybe one day I will understand it. I expect on that day I will be able to say that I may understand myself more and what makes me tick. Maybe that is why this thread will reach 60,000 views in a few hours.
Can any other thread make the same claim?

Who are you?

Do I know you?

I don't post much on this forum but have read and enjoyed much of what has been written here over the last few months including Franks diary.

I can see people's point that it got too personal and over exposed some of the girls and I think a change is a positive move, but I'd like to acknowledge the humility that Frank has showed on his last post and hope his detractors don't openly pat themselves too much on the back for pointing this out.

Looking forward to your future posts Frank

[patrick]

Well done Franck, I'm glad it was au revoir and not good bye. I think the posts above indicate that we all have a lot of respect for you, even the critical posts were constructive. I wish you and Club 131 all the best.

[Phil Lander]

Keep up the informative posts Franck , I really enjoy reading this thread.
Hope to share a beer in two months and two weeks time.
