Hooters Coming to Phuket

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

Here's Japan's staff by comparison.

(Don't expect we'll be seeing many blonds here...)

Can't tell from the above photo if that's the regular staff, or just some kind of opening event promo. Ahh... it looks like it's Hooters' custom to send training staff from its U.S. outlets abroad to help with new international openings...

And then there's Korea by comparison... Perhaps they have a fuller menu there.

Interesting tidbit from Wiki:

The three largest restaurants of the chain are located in Singapore, Tokyo, and São Paulo.

They will be hard pressed to find "qualified" servers for the restaurant.

I actually applied for the GM position last week. I think I may have been disqualified because my breasts where bigger than the HR's.

[IrishIvan]

The problem with small breasts wont take long to sort itself out. There will be loads of suckers paying for breast jobs, convinced they have found a 'good' girl in the Patong system. Plastic surgeons will rejoice

wait for it,

harming Thailands image.........

exploitation of women.......

Phuket doesnt need more........

With the likely trend of tourism and the economy this year, I'm guessing that there will be qualified applicants from hotels and hospitality businesses. So hoping that their English skills will be excellent.

As for some here who comment on "local portion sizes" - personally prefer natural to fakes, and if necessary can enhance by turning the Air/Con to 16 deg C

[eezergood]

They are currently looking for a manager, I was approached by a mate of mine to see if i can help.......

[starkey_rich]

That looks really delicious

Not much in the way of Hooters though

[Old Croc]

Which one would be JT's ladyboy?

I'm going for the one on the left.

Geez...Nothing drew me to look above the food platter. With my girth, that is typical anyways.

Oh, no!

Not for me.

For the TOURISTS.

I wouldn't be caught FED at any Hooters, anywhere.

Also did I mention I am lactose intolerant?

Hmm...unlike in the west...if Thais see an owl it is an omen of death. They hate NOK Whoo...

Wonder if the farang franchisee knew that little bit of information when he signed on the dotted line for the Patong business rights.

If my memory serves me well, this isn't the first time a Hooters Restaurant has been proposed for Patong.

The last time was was just before the 2004 tsunami.

Maybe some kind of Sodom and Gomorrah retribution.

[Somtamnication]

More like Condom and Gonorrhea!!

[thepool]

Just more evidence ( as if any was needed) of the determination to push Phuket even further "down market"

[NamKangMan]

I wonder if some Russian girls can get work permits as "actresses" or "models" to work there?

The further Phuket goes "down market" - the more Pattaya moves "up market."

Who would ever have thought?

no problems

What work permit does a Russian dancer on Bangla get?

There are now at least three Russian bars operating on Soi Bangla, with Russian ladies on the street trying to tempt customers into the bar, dancing in glass boxes and so on – I have no problem with this. However, over the years I have had friends who have been refused a work permit because they were taking a job a Thai could do!

What are these ladies being called on their job applications? What is their job title? I would like to open a club with only blond Scandinavian ladies allowed [to work].

David Nattrass, Patong Friday, January 13, 2012 2:29:37 PM “The job title is actress.

Yes, there are some jobs reserved only for Thais. However, everything else is under the regulation of the Ministry of Labor and their officers’ consideration.”

it they hire "uninhanced " thai girls, they may have to change the name to beepers

[Somtamnication]

Hotels can bypass the Thai only laws such as waiters by giving the Philipinos a management role. They then can serve at the restaurants.

So these Russians must be Marketing Executives?

[grumpyoldman]

That property has horrible feng shui, I mean it doesn't look onto the water, not directly facing the hills, disastrous location.

Chicken wings......(?), you're going to hang your hat on the skimpiest bit of bird next to it's feet?

Never ever have bought anything at the Hard Rock, won't be going to this place either.

Made the mistake already of a completely overpriced Marg at Coyote, enough is enough.

[beechbum]

Nothing flash at all about the one in Singapore, been to a couple of work do's there and the girls were very average breast wise and in the looks department.

[merijn]

I have to see how long it will last.

Until now every business in that corner/hotel was a failure.

According to Thai's that location only brings bad luck and will never be successful.

How is this different than any other bar in Thailand, except maybe the food. Though hardly Hooters with Thai women, a better name would be (based on South Park) "Raisins".

Silly me. I always thought that Hooters have more to do with the up market presence, while the bars in Bangla are doing the down market part.

i went in,

went up stairs for seating in air con.(small seating area) looked at the menu . left

why are there so many blondes working there>?>didn't know a Farang could get a w/p for being a waitress.

500 baht burgers +17% tax/service charge

300 baht drinks

100 baht for a coke in a glass

Large outdoor seating area, but its right on the noisy road and why pay so much ??

[RawaiPlaBoyz]

Great outdoors venue for people watching, If you can keep you eyes off the staff! OK the girls are a bit older that you average Soi Bangla staff etc. I like it, all the staff speak good engrit and were totally delighted to converse in Thai with Farang!

It will now be my spot for lunch and a few brewskis. Parking is no problem. 'll let the members figure it out!

Pang! good, I like that...

[N47HAN]

Maybe they got their workpermits due to Thais not having noteable Hooters :-)

Therefor could not fullfill the employment requirements , lol :-)
