uptheos Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I noticed this ad in The City Life online today - it's yet another "successful" pub / restaurant selling up. I have no idea who it is, but it seems like many are trying to get out of Dodge. This is a magnificent opportunity to purchase a thriving bar and restaurant in the heart of Chiang mai. It is located on a corner lot close to the night market. This is not a beer bar but a successful bar restaurant that caters primarily to the local expat trade. As it is frequented by local expats as well as tourists it does not depend only on high season trade. This establishment has been owned and operated by the same expat owner for the past 5 years. He has now decided it is time to retire and has put the business up for sale. The establishment has seating for 50. It comes fully equipped and has a well liked and fully trained staff. The current menu offers both Thai and Western cuisine with daily western specials and a buffet on Saturday nights. There is an attractive 3 year renewable lease for the premises. If you are looking for an established business and or planning to relocate to Chiang mai this is a great chance to buy an established bar and restaurant!! http://www.chiangmainews.com/classifieds_job/view.php?id=28586 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotlost Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 (edited) Great bit of free advertising for a certain pub. Wounder if they are going to take over as the next official TV hang out. Edited October 8, 2010 by gotlost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el jefe Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 If it really is Gecko Garden that's for sale, I wish the owners the best of luck. They've fed me incredibly well at very inexpensive prices for too many meals. despite it being on the "wrong" side of town, I've probably had more meals there than at any other restaurant in CM other than my local noodle stand. If they sell and a new owner changes anything, my nutritionist will thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerJoe Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Too bad. It was one of my group of friends favorite places to meet for dinner and drinks. Great happy hour and you can't beat 50 Baht B-52's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nowhere near Loi Kroh ........... about 50m down from Pantrip Plaza, towards corner of the moat. PS Winnie .... off topic I hear A1 has just hired a load of new girls, even though it isn't that sort of place!

Agree with you about the options - it takes somewhere special to corner the market and always have customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
