True.

 

Hard to say what's wrong with The Avenue.  Central location.  Reasonably new building.  Must be high rents.

With the nightlife no longer important for you, and with Pattaya not having a nice beach and ocean water, how do you get your bang for your buck here?

You are just the target market of foreign run bars and restaurants now.  Please do visit and have a coke, or some rice.  Support your local.  ????

Despite being a reasonably new building, I would not be surprised if it is bulldozed and turned into high rise condo's for daily rental.  

Strange narrative in this advertisement.  The Rock House on LK Metro.

A bar with a 60k rent, could realistically have a negative value.

He will teach, guide and mentor the new owner.

I'm sure Mike McNamee will indeed teach, guide and mentor the new owner where 5.5m baht is involved. 

 

But can Mr McNamee guarantee to magic up a venue full of paying punters every night of the week?  

Strange narrative indeed - "AFTER 16 years of running a successful bar, ... he needs to cover losses". An oxymoron if ever I've seen one.

Absolutely . So are the fixtures and fittings worth close to 6 million baht ?

Well, not really.  At least 'mad' Mike was honest and the purchaser is aware that they're merely covering Mike's losses.  

 

I admire his kamikaze attitude, Chris.  ????

Possibly, But Alex does moan a lot on FB and his forum about the poor sales.

" Is the closure of your favourite bar or restaurant imminent".  C'mon it's a fairly specific topic.

Why would he? He's not the owner.

Can not believe you fell for that ... well, okay, maybe I can.

Didn't fall for anything.

 

I said it was a strange narrative.

 

If a true advertisement, a strange narrative, indeed.

 

If a joke, possibly a narrative in poor taste, given many business owners going to the wall here.

i think the way things were and the way things are going to be are two very different things,while its good to be optimistic don,t think people realise the severity of the coming implications of this pandemic,and i really hope i,m 100% wrong on this one.using the government furlough money all the propertys where i live seem to be having work done,extensions,etc etc builder mates of mine are working flat out theres a bad shortage of building materials,whats going to happen when the redundancies start?,look at google there staff are all working from home till at least till next year,what an exercise in cost saving,if they can work from home why not relocate to an emerging economy?hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

That's just going to be a bad shortage of everything here.

Yes, he can.  Just make it 40 baht beers and the place will be full.  Doesn't mean it will be profitable, but looks great to a fool considering buying it.  ????

Looks like only 6 bars in the Made in Thailand Beer Bar complex have re-opened on the 1st.

All the offtopic rubbish about working from home and Indian call centers and such have been removed and some of the posters warned for off topic trolling.

The days of the tin roof beer bar were coming to an end.  The virus may be the final nail for them.    

'Retox Game On' closing every Tuesday until normal operating hours return.

I don,t know if it,s already been reported but Boxing Roo bar on 3rd road opposite soi Lengkee is closed and up for sale..."highest offer" the notice says
