  1. There's also an ice-cream parlour not far from me in the mostly Thai area. Hardly any customers. There's a 7-11 across the street with much cheaper ice-cream. I'll be surprised if it's still around next year.
  2. These kinds of threads always surprise me. Are MBK & other places allowed?
  3. I saw the opening of a beauty clinic in a plaza/office building. The owners & staff were so excited. Friends arriving with gifts & flowers. Less than a year later it was gone. Same happened to a hair salon in the same building. Lack of customers & rent would have been high. Another place was a sukiyaki kind of restaurant near where I live. The problem was it's a Thai area, there are many street vendors & a local market not far away. Thai people will usually pay just 40/50 baht. The sukiyaki style place lasted about a year.
  4. I often walk around my neck of Bangkok. I notice new shops, cafes, restaurants, beauty clinics, hair salons etc. I say to myself, that one won't be here this time next year, and I'm usually right. I understand people like the idea of having their own business, but seriously ... the location is poor, not enough market, too much competition, prices too high, too many locals & not enough tourists. But, many people still want to try.
  5. Never say never, but would be really surprised if it jumped to 2 mil. If you transfer money that would be 165,000 baht a month, up from 65,000.
  6. Good job Mr Owl. I'd mistake you for a Wednesday fan. Btw: Orient had a good day yesterday. They're still in the fight. 👍 I organize something similar with 11 family members all in the UK. We predict PL results every weekend. It's our 5th season and I could be claiming my 2nd title next month. 🏆
  7. I Robot movie ..... not so far away! 😬
  8. Just noticed that Newcastle have to play Villa, Brighton, Arsenal away ... and Chelsea, Everton at home. Some interesting matches, starting with a big one vs Villa this weekend. ⚽️👍
  9. Well, we now know the 4 semifinalists. Arsenal vs PSG Barcelona vs Inter Milan Really tough to call who'll be in the final.
  10. The battle for Champions League places is all that's left for the Premier League now. Should be an interesting scrap. Newcastle have a great chance. 👍
  11. It looks like quite a big place. Actually what I was most interested in was where is it ... and the answer is Chachensao.
  12. Yeah, but this one always catches my attention.
  13. I'll be watching. Hopefully it'll be an interesting race. 🏁
  14. You can see an imm officer if that's your preference, right?
  15. Best player I've ever seen live. Gutted when he moved to Juventus.
