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?

Popular Post Ron jeremy 2,278 Posted August 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2019 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. 18 1 Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post ThomasThBKK 5,018 Posted August 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 13, 2019 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. 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Leaver 5,798 Posted August 13, 2019 Author Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited August 13, 2019 by Leaver 2 Link to post Share on other sites

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. Link to post Share on other sites
