Walk Around Jomtien Complex

[SGD]

Wasn't the Hideaway up for sale for ages with a huge asking price in the tens of millions ?

Anyone know why the shops outside VT7 are still empty? If they would turn on the lights at night, maybe people would dare to walk there and it looks like a good place to run a business? Might I guess its about a greedy landlord asking rentals way over and in return get absolutly nothing because everything is empty?

I have a great Idea for you - how about open a Girlie (or Boy) bar.....

I heard that the owner/landlord (View Talay) was asking 25k per month AND 300k key money for a 3 year lease.

So instead VT have gotten 0 baht a month and 0 baht key money for 2 years. Business at its best.

Done another walk recently,yes the HIDEAWAY BAR,top of the complex,no customers,thai lady was doing ironing ,I do remember take me back 5 years ago or so? this bar was heaving with customers,apparently the farang gentleman there at the time was running a Hideaway golf club so brought in many customers,what happened to this bar ? Why has it gone downhill,did the farang sell it?

Also went to a bar that use to run the karaoke for farangs,its up on the corner of the complex on the main road.

Well boy has that changed,no customers,had a thai lady singing,staff were abrupt for no reason,i left after one drink.

I asked the stern thai lady manager? what the bar was called as I use to come here a lot to see the older farangs sing "New York,new york",she wasnt impressed and told me "no name bar,which I think maybe a bit of sarcasm,so didnt bother to leave a tip and left.

Those 2 bars near the Venue ,down the bottom of the complex are always busy,40 baht Wine,is that for a small glass does anyone know? They own the buildings no rent.

Blarney Stone was open and a about 2 customers on the terrace but I didnt go in.

The Venue own the buildings so they do not pay rent,so they will be there a long time.

Shenanigans was very busy last Sunday night,english football on the TV,staff very very well trained.

Cafe Ritz always busy,owner from the UK,owns the building,no rent.
