How many Indians do you see eating in an Indian restaurant? I see hundreds milling around the area on 2nd Road, but not often in any restaurants. Are they just a front for other activities?

Many are trying to live the dream, of course turns into a nightmare and try to sell, but maybe the restaurants are busier late at night

Many were shattered by Covid... sad to see.

I would guess only 20% of Indian restaurants closed for good during covid.....Unbelievably about 80% managed to go a year or 2 without hardly a single customer during covid... 

Even during high season the Indian restaurants hardly have customers with a few exceptions....

And Except for the Honest Indian restaurant the Indian restaurants have zero buzz and zero support from the farangs at least on this forum.......So how they all stay in business has been a mystery...

It's true, most are empty. I guess they have other businesses. There's one I know on Jomtien 2nd Rd which is always packed. Decent food of course and not too expensive. Most charge silly prices.

Isn't that the same for bars, agogos, restaurants and massage shops? they keep it going until the money runs out, of course money laundering going on too
