The Shamrock Bar. Soi Pattayaland 3. Not a girlie bar. But a place for a beer and good company. Sunday lunchtimes when Mine host, Terry, lays on a good array of complementary goodies. 

Such as what?

Let us cheap Charlie's know what he provides so we can all go around 

Is that the one on the corner ,been there 100 years if it is 

Surely not same owner

Gentleman's club always amuses me, actually a seedy brothel with no gents to be found, and not even a club 😃

Every time I look at online adverts for Pattaya business for sale , the Gentlemans Clubs always come up for sale !

I'm surprised at the sale price they want many 5 to 8 million baht 

So they must be making money ?

I took a lot of pre workout last Sunday and spent 3 hours in the gym lifting heavy weight, felt great ,I could of gone for more hours !

Today I'm sick , muscle pain , leg pain ,butt pain , headache

Don't over do it

I am not in Thailand we have Uber which is the same as Grab and Uber is miles cheaper as a taxi. Example from my place to the airport (which is I guess a 20minutes drive) Uber charge me 28 AUD but taxi about up to 40AUD.

You don't sleep at night??

so what? businesses fail all lover the world.

1/3 of businesses usually fail eventually.

As academics we must base things on facts not guessing

It would be interesting to know how many guys who buy a bar in Thailand did ever work in a bar, i.e. as manager, before they did that.

How many have experience, even a little, of running a restaurant or bar?

 

It seems many are just regular bar visitors and at some time someone offers them a bar and they think they can make everything better than all the others. And they dream about this successful bar with all those beautiful girls and happy customers and lots of money. And often they think they can run the business by sitting on a bar stool for a couple of hours a night.

And then, often sooner than later, they discover that it doesn't work like that...

 

Very true ! And written as a true academic

Yes. about 4. Another thing you rarely "Buy" a bar, you might buy the business but then you still pay rent, and who would sell a viable business anyway. 

Good academic point .

I live here and am not German.

I love a German sausage every now and again , what kind of sausage do you like ?

I was quite fascinated or there could be another word ....please use it 

But again ....they said it !

A Pattaya YouTuber this time describing how newbies come out to Thailand a few times meet a lady or guy ,person  ( gender neutral please ) and BUY a bar !

Pattaya YouTuber gives a example 55yo divorced Kevin leaves the UK and has been to pattaya a few times ,decides to quit his job ,use half the divorce to buy a business ,it all goes "belly up " ( the YouTubers words ) and Kevin goes home "with the tail between his legs "

I immediately emailed the YouTuber asking for evidence!!!!

Then the umpteen YouTuber says 

"They went back ( to their home country) with their tail between their legs " !!!

Now researching this many meanings , and please only academics please correct me .

Let me put my spectacles on and read the meaning " they got scared ,or ashamed and left !

So ok .......in reality I thought about this and despite this being said millions of times on YouTube and forums I have NEVER known anyone who went back as meaning the tail between their legs ashamed "scared " 

Now where is the evidence that anyone actually failed at bar business and yes we are talking Thailand on this one , not for the millions of Phillipines and Cambodian expats on here , although ok we can include Cambodia!

But the question is ......have you personally known not heard any farang who came to Thailand bought a bar and ...."went back with the tail between his legs"!

It's a myth is it not ?

Oi vey. My life already.!Give over. You are coming over like a cracked record. Who cares whether you are Jewish or not.😉

Your post reminded me of music records .

Who remembers them , I use to have a scratched Cat Stevens record so it just replayed over .

I still remember seeing a record shop in Bangkok

Then we switched to those awful cassette tapes 

Then I think it was DVDs?

Great post mate ,brought back memories

You can add anti Semitic to your list of attributes, so far we have homophobic,racist,lesbophobic, gender phobic,ageist, sexist ,  and the list keeps adding .😅

By partner you don't mean you met your wife in Philippines and decided you'd had enough of that place and have moved to Thailand.

 

Rather, you met some bird online, total stranger and offered her a monthly stipend to live with you bc Thai women are too clever for you, expect something more than Chang drinker in singlet living in Pattaya.

 

She will endlessly be taken for Thai and when that's found not to be the case will be presumed to be a hooker and you a dope unless living in central BKK and both of you nicely dressed.

 

amirite?

 

PS: it's Pinay or Filipina or Philippino.

Nope not right... It's a guy..

Stick to the  Weed Forum Son.

Never been there myself, but I've read about a cafe somewhere out in the sticks that's butterfly-themed. I think this might be the place...

Wow , we have the snake and the butterfly 🦋

Fantastic lovely pretty video I just watched from a Pattaya YouTuber on a new cafe in Pattaya near Soi 11

The snake cafe !

It seems to have snakes inside and you can hold them !

Geckos etc ,opened just in February it's new and to tell you the truth I think it won't last .

But ....my question to my academic comrades is what other "theme" style bars ,cafes or restaurants are in Pattaya ?

There used to be a Cat cafe? But I think it's gone 

I like that theme style Jamaican Bob Marley bar in Soi Bukhao
