georgegeorgia Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) As wandered aimlessly around the streets of Pattaya last month in my 6 week sentence of boredom .... I looked to see some beer bars in those complexes Rompho etc busy whilst others night after night had no one I used to like a "Aussie";bar in the Rompho complex market in Jomtien sadly the owner was apparently shafted by his girlfriend and lost the bar . But please don't get me off topic ,I want to know this question and please be direct . Why does a farang start or buy a beer bar knowing it's higher % to fail ,higher percentage to working hard for the money eg having to be nice to people and talking with often drunk patrons Whats the reason and please I'm not trying to be judgemental , If I was to buy or start say a beer bar in the Rompho complex Georgie's bar , I know it's in higher statistical analyses it's going to fail or break even perhaps So what's the reasons someone would do it ? Could it perhaps be a hobby ? Edited June 9 by georgegeorgia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its rather the most expensive beer, or hard work for a cheap beer. Never seen a successful foreign owned bar without an co owner (foreigner) who work hard to be on top of everything. By the way, what kind of bar do op had in mind? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hummin Posted June 9 Popular Post Share Posted June 9 (edited) Being a beer bar owner takes a toll on an healthy mind and body! If you have mental and health challenges from before, and socially awkward, bar life might not be your thing. You also need to have very little or no emphasis with girls and their families, as well stay out of other mens business when they are in love with your the girls. Talk politics and religion and world problems on repeat night after night to make sure you keep your regulars who make your bar look busy.

First of all he have been a child of high ranked officials, met world leaders, interested in sports, life, do many different activities and sports, social smart, have energy and good at multitasking. Not many people have those skills, and after one meeting, remembers your name, your gf/wife name, and make sure you feel welcome every time you meet. Most important he manage to keep his staff, and thats something rear in Thailand. Most complain they train the staff and loose them, he manage to keep them for many years. Not to forget, his food is excellent, and he know his business and every little detail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted June 9 Popular Post Share Posted June 9 I think for some guy it's something like this: I will spend anyhow most of my time in bars and spend money. So why don't I open my own bar and drink in my own bar. Make it look like I want, play the music which I want, hire only girls which I like, etc. And if they do that for fun, fine. The problem is if guys think they open a bar to make a lot of money... 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many just pour money in, and do not walk to extra mile to succeed, because they trust the wrong people to do the work and think they know how to run a business.

Not for me but I know a couple successful bar owners. They aren't making a lot but seem happy. Problem is that most t never get to enjoy themself because they lack the skills and luck to make it here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
