How about you stick to statistics and economic data, or does your optimism blind you to these?
I only ever comment on what I see.
I will leave all that wishful thinking negative guff to you.

This is at least a month or two story and that's if things go well.
The lack of Chinese in Pattaya (horaay!) yes, but not Corona.

Said the same about the SARS virus, and it went as my thoughts above.

$13 western Chinese food
The baht is Thailands currency not the Dollar

I will bet that there will be another event this week that will push the Corona Virus off the headlines, and by this time next week, the masks will be forgotten about, along with Corona here in Pattaya.

It may have been posted but what is the premises of the old Lone Star, and pharmacy next door going to become? (Soi Lengkee). I noticed it was all gutted yesterday. I remember the adverts for this place years ago, although I think the owner had a problematic offspring too. If it is indeed to become another eatery, the real money must be in turning these places over... brave time to be opening another restaurant in this area. More dust from demolition than cooking odours.
On 1/31/2020 at 1:13 AM, TaaSaparot said:Opening soon on soi Lengkee, The Grill Steaks & Ribs, run by the former owner of Smokin Joe's and Steak & Co.
A double-fronted unit, with The Grill downstairs more of a budget eatery than Ian's former steakhouse. Upstairs the Hungry Panda, mostly deliveries via Grab etc. A garden terrace area upstairs as well. The deliveries hopefully running from late Feb, the main restaurant sometime in March. All food prepared on the third floor, a 'dumb waiter' system installed.
Western style Chinese food, steaks and ribs together with other international dishes, most in the 300-400 baht range (except steaks). Charcoal grilled skewers and various meats from the new charcoal oven (pic), a new 250,000 BTU double wok burner coming too. Photos show the conversion is well under way...

So, here's one of the most popular and legitimate bars, doing accommodation and meals also, right in the middle of Central Pattaya, looking to sell
I don't think there is a business in Pattaya that is not for sale.
At the right price.
Unfortunately, your negativity blinds you to this fact.

Plenty of masks to be seen around, it is just they interfere with drinking beer so not popular in soi Buakhao.
Smokers seem fine with them though

Wasn't long ago Retox were trumpeting themselves as some sort of amazing Pattaya success story looking for investors to back expansion to Bangkok and other Asian cities. Since then they've offloaded Robin Hood, closed Retox Lengkee and are now looking to sell their "flagship" venue. I think that tells its own story. I actually thought they owned that premises but it appears all you're getting for 12.5m is a bit of stock. Could be the most profitable beers they've ever sold.
Not been the same since Simon Peatfield left.
What about Retox Outback? ... always seems busy when I pass.

I frequent this bar. It's part of why I started this thread, and I could see the writing on the wall for it. I know staff there.
Yeah, right ????

Where are these bars opening that you say?
Perhaps you mean, bars turning over.
You posted it, so I will use it as an example. So, PJ's has been given away to Nick, and he has said he is changing the name. Do you declare this is a "new opening" or just a management and name change?
PJ's is not on Soi Made in Thailand.
And no, I am not talking about bars turning over.

I recently strolled through Soi Made in Thailand, and it was dead, and that's a big plot of land.
Yet, more bars keeping opening .... funny that, if they are all dead?

I remember the times when all those brick bars under the tin roofs were jammed.
You must be speaking of pre-2000 then?

Had a few late afternoon beers on Dongtan yesterday, then a few in the Jomtien bars.
Came back into Pattaya around 8pm time, and what a difference.
Zero buses parked along Thappraya as usual, and Zero buses on Third Road with traffic flowing smoothly.
Have not seen it like this for at least .... 10 years?
Long may it last.

And the new openings just keep on coming ..
Opening soon on soi Lengkee, The Grill Steaks & Ribs, run by the former owner of Smokin Joe's and Steak & Co.
A double-fronted unit, with The Grill downstairs more of a budget eatery than Ian's former steakhouse. Upstairs the Hungry Panda, mostly deliveries via Grab etc. A garden terrace area upstairs as well. The deliveries hopefully running from late Feb, the main restaurant sometime in March.

Not arguing with you on the points you have made.
But I stand by my thoughts on how it will go.
