A young and energetic lady?

So when the next beer bar in Pattaya opens I wonder if the story will start with "An old, overweight and alcoholic man......"

Come on guys. Give her a chance. She made and sold Donuts before opposite housing complex Hansa in Udon Thani and starts today her own

bar/coffeeshop. Thus, a financially independent and energetic young lady.

For those who think you can barfine ladies....no...no....its a kind of a pub/coffeeshop. And tonight she will open and will offer free food,snacks and free donuts.

Ermmm George..... Who was having a go at the young and energetic lady? Not me - I was having a crack at whoever wrote such a ridiculous article.

Also, no one has mentioned bar fining ladies.... only you

This is great news. I'm always up for a freshly punched donut

[thrilled]

I love doughnuts. I hope it does A good business.

[George Harmony]

Don't expect too much. She has just started and time will tell whether her concept is a welcome addition to Udon residents/expats.

The Soy is still a quite soy though, so a relax atmosphere at this bar.

From the headline, thought the Thermae had come to Udon. Glad they haven't.

A lot of death up in udon on that website, also whats with the Soy is it not Soi?

[George Harmony]

Speaking about donuts (doughnuts):

Did you know that the donut is actually of Dutch descent? The old Dutch donuts of the first settlers in America were the basis for the current trendy donuts.

Delivery to Nong Han?

Delivery to Nong Han?

I am afraid no delivery yet. She run this bar completely on her own. In the beginning she only will produce (mini) donuts on a small scale.

There are now already three farang style establishments in this Soy at a walking distance of Soy Sampan

Thus in a very short time there will be more outlets offering the same services, client base will not expand and businesses will go under.

Local client base minimal both Thai and foreign, limited disposable income from Thai consumers as well, plus of the oiling of the wheels of commerce as required by the constabulary no doubt.

Yet again we see that Thai's are imitators and not innovator in business and a host of other matters too.

I wish her luck, however I feel that the venture may well be an expensive short lived experiment, let's have an update in say 6 months time

I dont quite understand above (1st quoted) sentence. This establishment, the bar attached to an apartment building, was already there.

Only few days ago she had the oportunity to take it over which she did. And in Udon I have never seen a bar offering home made donuts.

You feel that the venture will not exist long. Not only many farang style establishments can have a sort life in Udon but also many

Thai establishments. Main reason is the lack of a decent (long term) business plan. Or a rented establishment and the owner do not

want to extend the rent contract or in few cases the owner of the building triple the rent after a cetrain period.

I see here that she speaks and write english, have a FB page and a website (webpages). She is thus seriously doing her

best with or without help from others.

ARe you looking for donuts in Udon? She is already on the top 10 in google

"Oliebollen" do remind me of my own far away past, in which the Dutch term "Oliebollen" was in use in our local semiconductor industry by a project leader to refer to other perfectly shaped all-round characters at work in other research departments, all being capable of accomplishing many smart things, except reducing friction. Btw. I do have an interesting looking picture too here of some home-made Dutch oliebollen. Indeed, not perfectly shaped, but I guess this is how they should look like:

And, of course, I wish that lady a lot of success too with running her business ...

[MeMock]

Ours for sure were not round either but we sold out and the locals villagers all gave it the thumbs up.

[George Harmony]

@jacnl2000, thats a nice picture. I have eaten myself a lot of oliebollen in NL.

@MeMock, my compliments for your very informative website.


Although I myself prefer oliebollen above donuts the lady who just opened her bar
offer tasty donuts. Pitty that there are no oliebollen to be found in Udon,
as far as I know. Perhaps I can ask if she is willing to learn to make oliebollen

Here is a picture of one of the donuts she offers.

Popped to udon at the weekend to see friends and do a bit of shopping and fancied a donut and coffee, on their website they open at 10.30am, so arrived at 11am and shop closed with a sign on door saying open at 3pm so typical thailand website not worth a toss, and coffee shop open at 3pm what a waste of time, will not waste my time again.
