The bars on Soi 6 were the focus of my previous post. If you haven't been to Soi 6 for a long time, you can hardly comment on music in those bars, can you?

I'm simply asking how many rooms does this ship have for passengers? Do you know? I would also like to know the price of beer onboard.

Blocked with what? Rubbish, or sand / soil? These pipes are big. You can walk through them.

These are the pipes I posted about some time ago. I saw them on 2nd Road. When they buried them behind The Avenue, it disrupted business for weeks. Noise of heavy machinery, and mud everywhere. If they decide they have to put these pipes under Soi Pothole, Baukhao, Honey etc, it will look like a war zone weeks, if not months. They could have done it during covid, but no.

Why is my question ridiculous? Another member posted some time ago that there were not many. If that is the case, I guess those that want a room will have to book quite far in advance, or accept a lower class of accommodation. Perhaps HammerMan can confirm how many rooms are onboard.

Not all, but many. Are you suggesting all mid 50's like the latest electronic music, at ridiculously loud levels? When's the last time you have had a drink in a Soi 6 bar?

Yeah, I was being sarcastic, that's why so many of them popped up, after the success of the first one. ????

How many rooms does it have onboard?

How much for a beer onboard?

Samui is not that big of an island to "tour" but now you have expanded to "country." So if it's about a bike tour of the country, why wouldn't you "bike tour" to the south and take your bike over on a ferry out of Surat Thani? In any case, how big is the "touring bikers" market that want want to use a ship for most of their "bike tour?" ???? Also, the member said this ship was more targeting a market seeking "an onboard experience" but as the thread continues, we are now seeing "transport" seems to be a large part of the business model.

Ok, so, once again, hypothetically, Pattaya's hospitality portfolio has some non performing assets mixed in with some profitable assets. What percentage of the hospitality portfolio, as a whole, or total venues here, do you put at non performing to profitable and worth investing in? Would the profitable asset percentage be so small that the portfolio would not be worth investing in?

I guess it's a loss of "face" for them. ????

Is anyone arranging a basket of fruit for Mr. Tony? ????

You would have to be drunk to get involved in something that is none of your business here. ????

This is why it has made the news. It was one on one fighting, something not seen in Thai culture. ????

The loser of the fight loses "face" so comes back with a gun and shoots the victor of the fight. ????

Or, Vietjet flying directly here to capitalize on Vietnam's growing popularity with Thai tourists. ????

The hypothetical question, which you continue to dodge, includes every hospitality venue in Pattaya, not just global chains like KFC.

I think you will find they like 80's music, at a reasonable volume, as seen by the popularity of the "Scooters" style bars.

Are there enough rooms for everyone who wants one?

Geez, do you think this service might be competing with flying to Samui and renting a motorbike for 200 baht a day? Yes, yes, I know, rocket science. ????

Too funny. We are talking bars and restaurants, as per the thread title.

Yeah, when you have three customers in your bar that are in their 50's, what do you do, you play the latest electronic music at an ear bleeding nightclub volume, because that's what they will like, but as long as your bar's sound system is louder than next door's, that's the main thing. ????

You have just described ALL the bars owned by a certain company on Soi 6. ????

No argument from me about this, however, as debated here before, the majority of the numbers are cheap Chinese zero baht package holiday tourists, with profits being repatriated back to China. It will be interesting so see over the next few years where western tourists chose to holiday, and I mean tourists, not sex tourists. The buses look old and are not nice coach buses, thus, most individual tourists chose a vehicle, usually a private taxi. Everyday, thousands of private vehicles, yes, thousands, convey individual tourists, being the sole passenger, between Bangkok - Pattaya - Bangkok, to the detriment of the environment, roads, traffic, cost etc etc. This has not changed for decades. When arriving in Vietnam, I take a metered taxi from the airport into the city.
