So what is the view on the whereabouts of the Pattaya Sex Pest (aka Franck) Has he indeed (as claimed by some) undergone open heart surgery and is now having a long period of convalescent somewhere  on the Iberian Penisula OR (as suspected by others) he is back with his wife and daughter and hiding out in his restaurant on the outskirts of Bangkok

(stogie bear @ Nov. 07 2007,15:32) Fuck Franck... He's a con man and Pattaya and it's patrons are well shot of him.

I assume something I recall reading about Franck borrowing money is the basis for this comment.

What does Franck's disappearance mean for 131? Is somebody else running the joint in his absence?

Personally never had a problem with Frank , I have heard all the shite and couldn't care less whether it's true or false .


Agree miss the updates and the bar does seem dull without him

His partner Sam is running the bar now, so looks to be quite stable.

And yes he has borrowed a fair bit.

Well yes Billy I would go along with those comments and certainly franck had a touch of the Hugh Hefners about him as the hands on host at 131.
It was a great place to hang out especially on one of the many party nights.
However, it was never going to last for long and franck knew it Overheads were huge and his behaviour was that of a holiday maker as opposed to a business operator.
I just wish he had walked away with dignity instead of a list of unpaid bills, salaries and of course outstanding loans to some of his best customers.
Doubtful he shall surface in Pattaya for a while yet.

as someone pointed out many moons ago back when there was a banter going on regarding photos of his girls.......he seemed to run 131 to create his harem and not to have a successful business....and then if he actually would call the girls(Nicky) when they were with customers....that was over the top.

There's much to be said for a farang owner or manager being always around.

Now, I'm not the typical customer, but I like drinking with my friends in ladyboy bars.  And if I went to 131 there was a good chance that Franck would be there so I'd have someone to talk with until other friends arrived.
And it's the ladyboys wo are attracting other friends.

131 was a Cheers      of sorts for me where I could hang out, and occasionally bring my teerak.  The girls knew I wasn't going to barfine them.

Franck as an excellent host     and will be missed by many of us.  And yes, I know others have good reason to feel otherwise.
