January 25, 201511 yr Now there's a headline that makes sense! Unfortunately this is not yet true but it would make perfect business sense in Pattaya, right? Not an establishment I have frequented often but every now and then I went there with friends to enjoy the real and authentic American food (chicken wings with hot sauce) "Delightfully Tacky, Yet Unrefined!" is their motto, and that suits IMO our fair city rather well.
January 25, 201511 yr Author Well if it opens I won't be reviewing it ... unless you're paying ... It will be my pleasure!
January 26, 201511 yr Too tame for Pattaya. Too expensive for Russian and Chinese tourists. You can take the family?
January 26, 201511 yr yawn Hope this is not the future look for Pattaya. But who knows, maybe the service team is open for offtime invitations
January 26, 201511 yr Popular Post I think there are enough hooters on offer already in Pattaya For reals? I am udderly disappointed!
January 26, 201511 yr Popular Post Too tame for Pattaya. Too expensive for Russian and Chinese tourists. So true, too tame for Pattaya since the owners that invested in buying the franchise license (whatever you call it) would have to be like all the other Hooters around the world. Ok, Hooters is considered "wild" to the Midwestern boys in the middle of USA, but it would be too tame when there would be something better for entertainment around a corner or down a soi; next the food and Hooter dishes/glasses/napkins/ signs .... frozen food would all have to purchased and imported from the States, this drives the price up already. I visited Hooters in Shanghai, China once...cute, well trained waitresses and the food was great comfort food to this American, but the total price of the drinks and food was not worth the novelty. And after living in Thailand 8 years, the place was way too sterile for me...
January 26, 201511 yr Unfortunately, I have more chance of qualifying for a job at "Hooters" than most Thai girls do.

January 26, 201511 yr Author The last Hooters I was in was in Tokyo a few years ago. Took my wife there as she wanted to know what it was all about (I didn't want to go, honest!) . As with most things she took it all in stride and we ended up having a fun couple of hours. Must admit it gave me a bit of a chuckle when the tiny (but very well endowed by Japanese standards) waitresses bellowed "WELCOME TO HOOTERS!!" as we walked through the door. Maybe Hooters isn't for Pattaya, but what about a gay equivalent of it? What would you call a gay version of Hooters?
January 26, 201511 yr May not be long... There is one in Phuket and just read an article saying that Hooters is planning on opening additional locations in South Easy Asia... Also that Thailand would be one of the first countries for additional locations... http://m.fsrmagazine.com/chain-restaurants/30-hooters-locations-coming-southeast-asia http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2015/01/22/hooters-is-expanding-throughout-southeast-asia/

Why would gays in Pattaya want a G-rated flesh titillation restaurant with crappy American food any more than straights? Anyway, it's a fair question about the name ... it would have to be an ANIMAL to mirror Hooters. So far all I've got is ANACONDAS It would be better to be about buns, but what animal name works for that? OK, I've got a good one and it's also a BIRD! But it has been done before in real life. The White Swallow Pictured actually is a White RUMPED Swallow (OMG!)

Anyway, it's a fair question about the name ... it would have to be an ANIMAL to mirror Hooters. Because gays are refined, untacky and never flamboyant I do not agree with the assertion that it would have to be a name associated with an animal. I imagined something like; -Big Balls of Fire (imaging the sign that could be made out of that name!) -Rocketman -Jinglebells TarzanNotJane The possibilities are endless!
January 27, 201511 yr If it was a literal copy of Hooters, it would have to have a BIRD in it. Yeah there have been Hooters-like gay restaurants in the U.S. ... serving basic American food with cute gay waiters showing a little flesh ... I just don't see the demand HERE. Hooters is a major brand so I think there might some at least one off curiosity demand here for that ... and you can bring the kids right? The last time I was in Puerto Vallarta Hooters seemed to be doing really well ... but so many Americans there ...
January 27, 201511 yr The last time I was in Puerto Vallarta Hooters seemed to be doing really well ... but so many Americans there ... I never went to a Hooters. I guess, it's a American thing. Only looking but no touching. Then i prefer a Beer Bar with some chicks, beers and street-food.
January 27, 201511 yr If they did open and had US prices it would be cheaper than many western places here. Restaurant prices in some of these places are crazy when you consider labor costs.
January 27, 201511 yr Author If they did open and had US prices it would be cheaper than many western places here. Restaurant prices in some of these places are crazy when you consider labor costs. If they stuck to chicken wings and local beer served by scantily clad girls or boys it would not have to be expensive. Tacky and unrefined rarely is!
