TBWG Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 Hi all Well those of you who know Norbi's of Surin will be pleased to hear that he is opening a minimart and small Bistro on the Buriram Riviera (Friendz side.) He will stock top German beers as well as a large selection of wines all at keen prices, along with a selection of European produce. If it follows the Surin model he will also stock home cured hams and salami's. As well as providing a good menu of jumbo sized meals! All my previous experience of Norbi's has been positive so I look forward to the opening on 2nd April, when I am told free Champers will be available! As for the "curse of Buriram bars" Norbi has plenty of experience of running successful establishments so I expect him to stay the course. TBWG

TBWG Good luck Norbie The competition is getting smaller, as we speak
ronthompson Posted March 23, 2009 Posted March 23, 2009 I will be in Bangkok and will have to wait a week to try the minimart, always been happy with my purchases from Norbi's. Why not have a Buriram gettogether on say 7 April at noon at the new Norbi's Bistro??

Good idea Ron, although in this heat 6pm is better for drinking. But more than 2 are needed and therein lies the problem

Good idea Ron, although in this heat 6pm is better for drinking. But more than 2 are needed and therein lies the problem Upon reflection, perhaps we could achieve the same objective by all meeting up on Norbi's opening day/night, assuming that is if we are all invited. Now that would assure a good turn-out

Dave the Dude Posted March 26, 2009 Posted March 26, 2009 Nice swish German website with Google translate function but I am still unsure if it is an 'open to all' openning-party ? Anyone know? otherwise I might just have to resort to calling in at Norbies for some of his German Beer Dave

I am having a Bums meeting around midday at the New Minimart & Bistro i.e. Farang Food paradise on its opening day 2nd April. This unselfish move is purely to help them demolish their supply of Champers (goes well with Archa!). Would appreciate some Buriram company to help control the Surin contingent who are threatening to arrive en masse! TBWG PS Everyone welcome .... Baseball bats and crash helmets optional!
TBWG Posted March 26, 2009 Author Posted March 26, 2009 Buriram Bars report! Today a quick drive around the Buriram Riviera revealed Friendz Closed, French restaurant 'Vinyl' open, new Bistro & Minimart (immediately opposite Vinyl) being stocked for opening. Paddies Irish bar closed with for sale sign up. TBWG

Dave the Dude Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Anybody know who will be running this Bistro/Shop? I assume Norbie will stay in Surin and his Beer-buddy is not exactly Management potential in a service environment (plus his english is limited). I think I got away with that discription in a polite sort of way Dave

I think I got away with that discription in a polite sort of way :D Dave Hi Daves Just remembered Norbies right hand man made the comment (in good English) that getting staff in Buriram was proving difficult... they all wanted the money but not the work! Sounds familiar. TBWG aka Dave
Dave the Dude Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 What he look like, David?? Dont say German!!!!!!!!! Dave
torrenova Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 My experience of getting staff in Buriram is that the bosses want t pay peanuts and then complain that not even the local monkeys will work for it. Have we got a list of who is going and at what time ?

Satuk brigade arriving about noon, and Surin rear gunners arriving also about noon. TBWG

torrenova Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 I shall see if I cannot add to the numbers and support the Buriram contingent. At the moment, I am in town.
prakhonchai nick Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 Might even be a turnout (albeit small) from Prakhonchai in the deep south
prakhonchai nick Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k7U-_tJVmw Hmmm! Does this mean you might not be coming tomorrow? Or will you be heavily arming the British contingent?

TBWG Hi Just like to thank the staff of SFP for coping with todays onslaught of Hoodlums. It was a good turnout and I for one, had a nice afternoon (without any punch-ups or SWAT teams raiding the place) The grub was good too!! It was very easy to find to, cos it was OPEN Dave

We get a lot of Germans and Swiss, because of course it used to be Swiss owned and they carry on from that.
