Elliot Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I have this great party boat just sitting here in Chalong waiting for high season and keep thinking it would make a super alternative to the same old same old bars...It has two open air bars, an airconditioned "nightclub", excellent sound system and lots of club-style lights...see more at www.seadawgs.biz We normally charge 2,000 baht for our four hour 9pm - 1 am Party Cruise which includes unlimited free shots, 40 baht draft Heineken, 40 baht coolers, and half the local prices on all mixed drinks... What do you think would be an enticing offer (and let's try to be serious here - I'm not gonna pay you to come drink my beer!), that would get a decent (size, not character) crowd for local residents, expats, etc? No admission charge but a 1,000 baht minimum towards 40 baht beers and 20 baht shots, etc? 500 baht admission with 30 baht heineken and 15 baht shots? Some other combination of these? We can operate all night as we are governed by marine regulations not the land police. I want to keep the boat in use and give my new staff some experience. Remember I need to pay for fuel for driving the boat and for electricity. This can be any night of the week. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Unfortunatley I don't live in Phuket (oh, how I wish!), but it seems like a good idea. Perhaps you should state the max/min number of people you would take out on a cruice. Good luck, next time I am down in Phuket, I may just check it out!

Elliot Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 taking the boat, which weighs 107 tons, to patong, would cost about 16,000 baht round trip so for 20 pax it would not be such good idea... the drive to chalong is not so bad from patong at night... but i do appreciate your thinking about the possibilities... thanks!

jayenram Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I couldn't possibly give my expert opinion on this as I am neither a bar fly, drunk, sot nor lush. I'm also 500 km from Pattaya. However, if I was a bar fly, drunk, sot and/or lush living in Pattaya, I'd probably go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliot Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 ok guys, i appreciate the input but let's try to focus... i need a poll on the question - which would you prefer: pay 1000 baht pp minimum applicable towards 40 baht heinekens, 20 baht shots or 500 baht cover charge with 30 baht heinekens and 15 baht shots? thanks! and i'm concerned about drining anywhere in thailand - its like playing a video game expert level on acid (i've heard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuchok Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Mate, the answer is simple.Just make sure you have a truck load of good looking chicks on board and you will fill the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyinRed Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 500 baht cover charge with 30 baht heinekens and 15 baht shots? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That would sound pretty reasonable, but do you have a theme of the party that you have in mind? So far you have a boat which plays music and has heineken on tap, but what kind of people you want? Are you throwing a BBQ in as well? Just my thoughts.

Elliot Posted August 29, 2005 Author Share Posted August 29, 2005 ok...we're gonna make this fridays party cruise customers' choice, either pay a 1,000 baht pp minimum applicable towards 40 baht heinekens and 20 baht shots or pay 500 pp cover and get 30 baht heinekens and 15 baht shots...i'll see which is more popular... theme: get hammered cheap! does that work for you? low morals are, of course, a requisite...big boobs a little harder to find but i'm working on it... fridays night 9pm to dawn...chalong pier...get on - get off the boat every hour... call me 10 am - 6 pm for reservations: ((076) 280-737 ...

LadyinRed Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 theme: get hammered cheap! does that work for you? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There's plenty of places to get hammered cheap around Chalong without any cover charges.

Sir Burr Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I'm afraid LadyinRed is right. I don't think you are going to attract the price conscious drinkers, which is many of the expat residents of the Chalong, Rawai and Nai Harn area. Why don't you approach clubs like The British Businessmans club, Rotary Clubs, some of the informal golf associations. These are the kinds of places where you could get a large group of people that all know each other. One group of twenty has to be easier than twenty groups of one.

I'm not sold unfortunately. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> thanks for the input...i havent see anywhere on phuket that sells heineken for 40 baht all night, maybe chang or tiger...and definitely not for 30 baht, which is cost...anyone drinking for 4 hours or longer will more than make up for the cover charge and have the advantages of being out on the boat - cool sea breezes, great secluded party atmosphere unlike sitting in a hot, dusty, car exhaust-laced bar... we are always looking for organizations and groups who want to have private charter party cruises...we have done quote a few of these...we even had an episode of "temptation island" filmed on a cruise!

KM_FUBAR Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Why don't you team up with a bar owner and advertise for a pleasure cruise there. Arround midnight you rent a few minibusses and ship the ladies and customers down to chalong. Have a pleasurecruise in the middle of the ocean and return around 6AM.... I sure would do it and enjoy it... I agree with the previous post loose the shots, well at least when the majority of the farangs are not american brgds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
