I think that will make it 4 plus the hotel, plus the share in the Indian restaurant and the large TV/advertising hoarding. 

 

Easy to see why - he learnt from Bryan Flowers - but adapted.

 

Whereas Bryan had "Pattaya Addicts" and "bar crawls" to drive business, Nick has his YouTube Channel NDTVI.

 

You would be amazed how much this works. A lot of businesses are now "social media channels" with the core business attached!

 

His "Sunday live broadcast" bring in donations and "drinks".

 

Similarly, Trevor from "Buzzin Pattaya" opened a Bar in Soi Pothole. I went a few Sundays back and I could just about get a seat. It was rammed!

 

You have to realise there are are hundreds of thousands of sad sacks who watch YouTube and say "I'm gonna go to that bar and barfine that girl!"

 

Right...I'm off to look at some bars for sale 

 

 

 

Buzzin has 80k + subscribers on YouTube Dean has 30k + Buzzin must be making decent money. It might all stop as it’s rumoured you might need a Work Permit if you are based in Thailand.

Deans gone quiet on the advertising hoarding, who ever looks at them, Dean said hotel is fully booked Nov/Dec but never mentioned the other months, it is cheap but bordered by a busy road and Soi so sleep could be a problem.

Nick Dean has just opened his 3rd bar of 4th bar on Soi 7, it has capacity for 200 customers he said, good luck to him, being the ever pessimist I just can’t see where the customers are going to come from.

There’s a fool wanting to buy a bar. That’s where the customer comes from.

It's a glorified short time hotel and so cheap you could use it just to get your head down for a powernap.

 

Ok if you want to go on the pi$$ down Soi 7.

The YouTubers can become minor celebrities and losers want to hang round them and buy man drinks, sad but true

During lock down they could be quite entertaining but now boring, every one to their own but sitting watching scantily dressed hookers getting hammered at 5 o’clock on a Sunday afternoon thousands of miles away. is not my idea of entertainment.

A go go like Rodeo Girls that was 

on the Pattayalands would do well today playing R&R with the girls dancing to Brown Sugar. 

They have been tried and failed over the years...Sweethearts on WS comes to mind. The girls don't know or like the music.

Well the girls sure were dancing to R&R  then. Pattayalands 2000's Before in was Indianized . What could work now is these R&R songs with a Techno beat.

Have always said a line dancing type joint were the girls wear skimpy skirts and no panties doing their thing on a mirrored floor would be a winner.

Iam not the one implying bars that charge Bt100 plus are gouging.

 

You are but your reply to me tells me you do not so prolly best for you to stop dribbling on about the prices.

You are.

They are, many bars sell for 60/70 baht a bottle with the same or similar overheads.

I know a few bar owners friends, I know what their overheads are but I am not going to divulge them on a public forum.

I see you only joined in 2021, i would say would you have little or no knowledge about Pattaya, probably don’t even live here or even in Thailand.

Stop trolling me, what an ignorant reply you posted.

Concerning bar pricing, part of the price considerations is overhead, but there is also the owner's consideration of what the market will bear. Some bars are historically more popular than others, but their prices are higher.

 

Location is a factor, although a better location may not cost more than a facility in a pooror location.

Trevor has his new bar on Soi "Pothole".  Does he still have an interest in his other bar?  I don't see him plugging that bar that much anymore.

He said he was going to Court. 

Bar for sale on Soi Chaiyapoon. I don't think it was open very long.
