May 6, 200817 yr Not so sure that the reference to Gary Glitter is appropriate given his history and connections with S E Asia? I think you will find the rest of TV realises that was a joke. Hi D the D Shame on you are you calling the Bay City Rollers a joke! TBWG Hmm,... Maybe you have something there!
May 7, 200817 yr UPDATE......from the horses mouth Paddys Irish bar will be opening next week. Fiday or Saturday. The reason it has been so quite there of late is that the ownwers have been in Bangkok buying up a huge range of importrd beer. As well as sourcing some quality food. The liquor licence has been in place since last November as has the music and food licence. Full service from opening day. Looks good, sounds good.......fingers crossed

Don't know what kind of clientele the leprechaun in lederhosen is expecting, but doubt if they have many international bankers in Buriram. Or maybe they retire there?
May 24, 200817 yr UPDATE......from the horses mouth Paddys Irish bar will be opening next week. Fiday or Saturday. I'll never believe a horse again........ Hi Thai Chi Any further news? I am particularly interested in the French Restaurant Vinyl, as I am rather partial to Coq au vin, chips & baked beans! TBWG
May 25, 200817 yr Hmm, don't know about the Gary Glitter platforms......... More likely to be spangly Handcuffs now. IS IT OPEN YET ANYONE!! Surely the 5 days are up now!!
May 25, 200817 yr The Irish Pub in Prakhonchai THE SHAMROCK - is up and running Very good crowd in there last Friday evening Situate in the small road that fronts the bus station, directly opposite the large garden centre. Well worth a visit or 3!

I am particularly interested in the French Restaurant Vinyl, as I am rather partial to Coq au vin, chips & baked beans! TBWG TBWG, the Vinyl bar is a goer. It seems to be open most days I go past. I havent stopped in as yet to look at the menu, but hope to in the near future. Paddys had a sign up as of yesterday saying "OPENING IN 4 DAYS" mind you, it had been up for 3 days already Will be going past both tomorrow, so may have some more news. Are you in town (ban satuk) or back in old blighty ?
May 25, 200817 yr [ Hi Thai Chi Are you in town (ban satuk) or back in old blighty ? Unfortunately back in Gordon's Wasteland and boy is it expensive! TBWG

SBWG Hi D the D Sorry bay city rollers outfit to precious to part with, however you can borrow my velvet flares and paisley shirt ...suits you sir ! TBWG PS: Thai Chi back in Satuk mid October.
June 7, 200817 yr Seems like I am the only one interested in the on going saga of the Irish bar and the nearby French Restaurant. Has the Irish bar finally opened? Anyone visited the Vinyl bar/restaurant? Any reports appreciated TBWG
June 7, 200817 yr TBWG Paddys apparently opened just over a week ago. I didn't go to the opening and flew out to OZ the next day. Will suss both Paddys and the Vinyl out on my return in a couple of weeks
June 7, 200817 yr We have friends living in that soi, the Irish bar was supposedly opening 2/3 days ago, however, I'm unsure if it actually did so? The french place is ok, tried his breakfast a week or so ago, place done out quite nicely, food I had & service ok. Quite a few expats venturing in whilst I was there, so maybe he'll do ok? Personally, I think he'll struggle to make any money from this place. Renting a double unit, 3 waitress' & a male chef will put a drain on things. Theres just not the trade in Buriram for such a place, likewise, the irish pub will sadly struggle after the initial interest has died down.

June 8, 200817 yr Hope he does ok the french geezer, he lives in the next village, he will have to do good as fruity says, one problem he will have, overheads, rent, and if he has taken a lease out, how many years?, i was looking for a premises in buriram to buy, not rent, did make an offer on the old bank next to the bamboo, 4 years ago, they turned it down, now it is 3 million baht more expensive, crazy. When leasing and renting, to get the doors open, you are improving someone elses property, it is not so bad if you can claim the expense through the Business, but doubt you can do this in Thailand, also once you are doing ok, watch the thai/chinese owner stick the rent up, this happens a lot.
June 10, 200817 yr Yep, open now. Was in there on Sunday. Nice guy from Southern Ireland - hope he does well. (Avoid the cans of Guinness at 249 Baht)
June 11, 200817 yr Yep, open now.Was in there on Sunday. Nice guy from Southern Ireland - hope he does well. (Avoid the cans of Guinness at 249 Baht) Thought it was a German guy who owned it? Name now makes a bit more sense!! TBWG
June 11, 200817 yr Yep, open now.Was in there on Sunday. Nice guy from Southern Ireland - hope he does well. (Avoid the cans of Guinness at 249 Baht) Why avoid cans of Guinness for heavens sake, it's the real Irish Guinness,not the Malaysian crap you get in most places. I sell the same stuff. That's just like saying avoid buying a Ferrarri, cause they're expensive.
June 11, 200817 yr Its the old story, you pay for what you get, bet he will have the moaners who quibble about 5 baht.
