Here's a tip; Don't

I am sure that if you stroll down either Soi 7 or 8 you will find a few "bar for sale" or "bar for lease" signs.

Good luck!

Oh dear! there are easier ways of losing your money.

Buy a building, and open your own. If it fails, try you hand at any of the following farang favorites: legal consultant (nevermind if you're a lawyer or not), real estate agent (nevermind if you've never bought or sold a piece of property in your life... but you will need a digital camera), or open an eatery that specializes in genuine *insert your home country food menu item(s) here* (know anyone who can cook?). If none of those work, at least you still have a place to live.

There are always hundreds of bars for sale ... I wonder why ?

Naka.

From the sounds of it he wants to rent a bar and not buy the lease on one. That is not so easy.

I guess we don't see the OP again and that it is a troll trying to get people who own bars to try to sell them through him so he can act as an agent etc.

I put a business for sale in the classifieds and all I got was chancers like that asking questions.

HAHAHA....superb.

sorry I don't have lots of laughing smilyes to add Hahaha

To rent a bar you will have to 'buy' it, but good luck to you sir.

Be sure to post the bar name on here so we can all come and console you.

BTW, Heng forgot to mention you can become an internet 'netrepreneur' when you are really hard up. Haha

(found the smileys)

That sounds like pretty good advice!

Assuming you're not a "Troll" and are really looking for a place why not start with one of the Forum sponcers, Sunbelt Asia.

I've never dealt with them but they seem to be very reputable. Their ad is at the top ot the page. Good luck.

Over a period of four years I drove past a string of bars on Narklua Soi 18 at all hours of the day and night, non ever had more than two or three people drinking there, most never had anyone drinking at the bar.

Almost all of them remained open.

My conclusion.

They were making money somehow, and my suspicion is they were being used as vehicles for laundering money.

[britmaveric]

Never seen a bar for rent, plenty for sale. If you have no expectations and want to toss a bunch a dosh away then go for it. However its a losing proposition. You should know that if you walk down Soi 7/8 - lot of the bars are empty.

I used to suspect the money laundering bit about a lot of bar's and Indian tailors as well tucked away on side streets come to that.

With a lot of bar's though a farang will often fund it for the gf to keep them out of trouble hopefully. It costs the same as sponsering her without all the spare time on their hands. I know a quite well off guy doing that now in BKK with quite a well known bar - his construction company back home supplies the real income.

Of course, a lot of folks (both local and foreign) also run businesses just to have something to do. Not saying this is the case for GH (as he seems to be a rather well grounded fellow), but many people have issues with those who have made it to the 'I can do whatever I want and not care about the bottom line' point before they do (especially when the same said some folks have little chance of making it to that point), so "logically" they must be criminals.

[torrenova]

There are bars for rent but the numbers often don't stack up.

If you find an empty bar, then apart from asking why the previous tenant just walked away, ask yourself whether the rent is viable.

If I was the landlord and had an empty bar, I might be interested in getting some income from rent only if I could not shift it to a new punter but many Thais will just leave it empty waiting for the large payday when someone comes with the key money.
