Is the closure of your favorite bar or restaurant imminent?

[Leaver 644]

Or perhaps it has already closed.

 

Have you noticed more staff than customers lately?

 

Is your favorite bar or restaurant struggling?

 

Can they hold out until high season?  Will there even be a high season? 

 

Have you spoken to the boss?  If so, what did he say?

No, my local's doing just fine, thanks.

Most bars have more staff than customers, gogos probably 5-1.

had a businessman sit beside me this winter in a gogo in pattaya, he commented on how can these bars stay open, no customers in most, but they still remain open. I mentioned they are washing machines, he agreed. But buying a bar and living the dream has turned into a Stephen King movie for most.

Good to hear.  Will it be jammed in the future, as others close?

Yes. I asked her just now if there was any Sato and cheese left in the fridge. She said yes and when that's gone we will get some more tomorrow. Number of customers the same. Just the two of us. Perfect.

I was thinking more along the lines of legitimate bars and restaurants, most likely bars and restaurant that offer good food and sport on TV, or other entertainment, not sex.

How long before the foreign sponsor withdraws sponsorship?

Tons of new restaurants and bars popping up in Bangkok all the time, all full.

What differentiates them from the old ones who sometimes close is that they are of higher quality it seems.

Great. 

 

Did you notice I started this thread in the Pattaya Forum?

I have no plans to sell the fridge or make the wife redundant.

Maybe she has plans to resign.  There's always someone with a better fridge.  

[Leaver 644]

Seriously guys, is there no concern for the establishments you frequent?

 

I know I have seen a few of my favorite places really struggling, to the point I would not be surprised to see their doors closed soon.

 

A few of these are well established and nice places, that did have regular, and repeat clientele.

 

Good food.  Pleasant staff.  Nice environment. Cold beer.  All the sport on.  I will miss them, if / when they close.

No. No concern.

 

There will always be another.

True. They will be needing a bigger house to put it in too and be willing to chauffeur the MIL around looking for meds and trips to the hospital.
