Tuskers Opening Again

[jackr]

What set tuskers apart from all the other westernized bars in town. Nothing.

What <deleted>. It did have something that the others don't: quality and a better clientèle. Not everyone wants to aim for the bottom of the barrel, so to speak. I'd personally rather fail than have to lower my standards and look at mouthbreeders all day. Location and the state of tourism in general are perhaps the main factors against success.

I agree with you totally, apart from the fact that you said you would rather fail than to lower your standards. Business is business at the end of the day, and if your saying you would rather fail, then you don't know business at all. All I was saying was that there is too much competition in town for the bars that offer the same services as tuskers did, and with the current situation in Thailand, the market clientele of these bars is getting less and less every week. So businesses need to offer something different from all the others. You can't tell me that in realistic terms, that the old Tuskers offered any thing different to the U.N, Old Bell, Red Lion, Queen Vic, The Pub, The Half Moon Etc. Roughly the same prices, same food, same in house pub games, same live sports, so can you please tell me why its <deleted>, when I said nothing set Tuskers apart from all the other westernized bars in town.

Thank Buddha for Google:

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER....Last year I asked where the term "mouth breather" as a synonym for "idiot" originated. Today, reader KH provided the answer. Here's an excerpt from a New York Times article from March 21, 1897:

Many children are always mouth breathers, and cannot breathe through the nose on account of conditions of the throat requiring medical attention; in such children test the hearing, which is apt to become very dull if the case is neglected.

Apparently the original association, which was likely more true in 1897 than today, was "mouth breather" => deafness/difficulty hearing => mentally slow. And that's your etymology lesson for the day.

I beleive he is reffering to others as a Mouth BREEDER UG not mouth breather I too wonder what a Mouth Breeder is.

You are right. Sorry.

The Darwin Frog is a mouth breeder. Interesting also, it is the father that incubates the eggs in his mouth.

I propose moderators close this thread as it's just become another argument over a closed business which no longer exists!

Why oh why everyone is still kissing the asses of the old owners who have decided to call it a day and do something else? It's closed ! Done! completed ! etc etc.

No matter if you loved or loathed the old hosts, they aren't there anymore ..... move on!

For moving motions like that they have invented toilets/

Chas and Rachel both put a lot into Tuskers and I wonder if they had opened early like many others, whether that would have made much difference? The location didn't matter once you got to know the place, but it's not exactly the best spot for walk in traffic.

Having some accommodation there could have made it a lot different, but then its also a 24 hour job to run it.

If your in a not so good location you need draw cards and a reason once your there not to go elsewhere.

Look at G&M Sausage 10km out of town in the middle of nowhere, Sunday buffet lunch, 250 seats with a waiting queue to get a seat.

I'd agree Gunters products are really good and the Sunday Buffet is worth a trip out to the wilds of Doi Saket

I like both British and German food so I'm happy we've got GM and Sausage King in town.

As you seem to be have a thing about parking, do you happen to know the percentage of Bar / Restaurants in the city with decent parking facilities ?

Well lets say very low, so your bleating on about parking doesn't really have any substance unless you can name a substantial amount of bar / restaurants with parking .

Please note forum rule 18

18) Not to discuss the specifics of prostitution.

Thailand has a visible sex industry, and acknowledgment of that fact is not forbidden. However ThaiVisa is not the place to seek or give information on this topic, regardless of your sexual habits, preferences or orientation.

Thanks..
