But some Youtubers put out quality content that often involves research ...

This is very common, begging.

 

The English owner, guy from Pattaya FM103, had a gofundme page so he wouldn't lose his radio station.

Apparently not. You will have to look elsewhere for your "fix" you miscreant.

I knew a guy here who had a rather large bar in the prime position, and it was well frequented. It was only after he had started snorting the "Bolivian marching powder" and business started to drop off that he needed some money to keep it afloat, so he offered 25% of the bar/business to anyone who would invest in it.

 

They weren't going to get their money back but they could sit there and enjoy free drinks for a couple of years (or was it a year?) and a couple of guys did it, but then the gullible folks dried up and he couldn't re-lease the bar because he had no funds, so he lost it.

 

He and his wife never got on even when they were running the bar and on many occasions one or both of them would come to work with cuts and bruises and black eyes where they had been fighting the night before. But because the bar was in his wife's name, he had to stay with her.

 

Now he is confined to a wheelchair, cannot work and seems to be living off his English pension – – so whilst for a few years he could have been "living the dream" but it all turned sour a few years back.
 

Easy come, easy go!

 

Nobody stays on top forever.

So his girlfriend who didn't invest any money to start up the bar. But is the legal owner as it is in her name is blackmailing him. Telling him if you don't pay me 200,000. Or 300,00 baht I will take the whole thing.

Found the bar on google maps. Says temporarily closed. So maybe his gf closed it. Reviews are great. Cheap beers, good burgers and Greg is a nice guy.

My concern with that arrangement would be the local plod coming by for their tribute.  But it sure sounds like fun, even though I took the oath in 1988 and haven't had a drop since.  Great way to stay active in the community, even if I'd be that slug in the corner sipping iced tea.  Compare that the the tragic guys who die lonely...

 

 

 

Why not just join the Bridge club, play snooker, or go walking?

 

Cheaper and no stress.

Sad thread and comments IMO

If you hadn't noticed the whole world is a bit sad nowadays IMO. If we look at the big picture, rather than just our little part of it, the human race isn't doing very well.

Begging on line is just a symptom of a wider malaise.

Must be something special about Thai girls that so many western guys lose their brains when they get involved with one.

There was a post on FB last week from one of the bar patrons who had just visited the bar the night before...he reported that the bar was still operating, the ex-TGF was working there, but had apparently sold it to a new owner for 1MB and she was then re-employed by the new owner. Can't see any $ flowing through to Greg Palmer now...needs to write it off as a bad venture and move on.

Sell what assets? Just a licence and furnishings. Hardly worth 300,000 baht. If you don't own the building you barely own anything.

Not if you are selling a dream to a newbie. The place looks and smells nice and they never notice how far from the street it is, or the realtor drives them in the back way so they don't see all the other bars in front.

I can see why his GF left this knuckle dragger.

 

Open a bar!  Another one that left whatever brain cells he had at the airport.

 

Time to go home and work the mines.

 

Another perfect reason not to socialize with the majority of expats.

[Sigmund]

Maybe the barfines were to high and the "therapists" not young and attractive enough  and overcharging ?

 

Not to speak for this case, but in general,  I always tend to avoid the falangs in Thailand who have set up businesses.

 

They cheat as bad, if not more, then the locals, as soon as they see your home and that you are a foreigner. At least with the Thais, one can bargain, but not with the arrogant farangs who thus end up in loosing everything.
