They opened in a new location at Bangla and 200 Year Rd.

You're big on Metallica tribute bands eh MC?

Actually there was no plan to close the rock city at beach road..! (nothing really to do with the "new" location)

I heard some rumors that the rent was not paid quite a while already.....

You are in business here in Phuket? It makes sense to you to pay rent at two spots for the same venue? It's not Starbucks or McD's...........

just what i heard from people working there before....

Originally they did claim thier intention was to run 2 locations with the same brand.. Hard to believe but thats what they said..

Also I note the 'Rock City Restaurant' billboard on the Patong hill.. 'Food that Rocks'.. Could this be the proposed adaption ??

Not big fan, but do enjoy some of the tempo tunes. All styles have their good and bad tunes.

I know it's hard to be master all the time! :D:D:o

No worries, from what I heard from ownership the rent at the Patong Beach Road location was somewhat outrageous, so businesswise it didn't seem to make much sense (or satangs) to try to run both.

The new location should do much better.

The "Food That Rocks" sign is for Hard Rock Cafe opening in the new Marriot Courtyard hotel near OTOP markets.

The reason why RC on the beach road closed:

Khun. Somai Passi Thailands former finance minister and the

owner of Club Andaman Beach Resort & Sai Nam Yen Co.,Ltd

who is the owner of the land, have change his plans for the

Andaman Bazaar´s future. :o

Can you please ask him to put railings up on the balconies of his rooms at Club Andaman before we have any more unnecessary tragedies?

RC was grossly overpriced IMO. No loss.
