bangmai Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Nimman, Soi 11, about 70 m from Nimman.....Never a promotion, high rent, sparse crowds...it was a Thai owned place aimed at tourists. I see there is a little bit of demolition going on behind there, but I doubt that is the cause of the closure. Another lesson in how to not survive in the CM bar business.

JulieM Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I don't think that any of the small bars lining the side streets around Nimmen ever last more than a year or two. The bars are often run by a Thai couple and I imagine they get tired of being slaves to the place. A bar near my house has had eight different "owners" in the last six years. It started out as a private house and has now been converted into a decent looking bar, since every new "owner" sunk some cash into renovations. I think the couple running it now are probably making a living, but just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I think it was a poorly thought-out bar. I went by many times, often on my way to other bars, and never saw any reason to go in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangmai Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 yeah, they seem to have their own little clique hanging out drinking the revenue, no prices posted, maybe a few younger backpacker types, but no regulars....possibly could have worked in some shack in Hang Dong, or farther out...with much lower rent, but it seems like the mom and pops get the volume and regulars out there; not some weird theme. BTW, Dayli started as a shack selling cheap beer, and they have really evolved 9 years later....even have indoor plumbing. Sky high land values might be their demise. But, just like BKK, this years cool place with cheap beer and tons of fun, might be next years skyscraper project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heybruce Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 When they shut down the Housewive's club the neighborhood went down hill. Do you mean the big yellow-green house near Beer Republic? Has that been closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangmai Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 I think that one is still going in the evenings....I had heard housewives moved to soi 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieM Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 The one near Beer Republic is still going on. I assume it is housewives but maybe not. Something odd is taking place on Nimmen Soi 5 way down near the Palm Springs condo show unit. Thai men hanging out drinking in the middle of the day and women in short skirts inside the doorway. It's all fine with me but it's a bit weird to walk past there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I think that one is still going in the evenings....I had heard housewives moved to soi 1. It's been a while since I checked (I assure you it was a quick check and rapid exit), but the yellow house was primarily an afternoon and early evening place. They usually seem closed after 10 p.m. I wasn't aware of anything on soi 1. Are the housewives also, um, somewhat past their prime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear, anyone going there hoping to find the kind of cute young ladies that frequent the rest of the Nimmanhamin area will be seriously disappointed.

Hopefully Dave2 will go take a picture and then we can see if the people look like sales staff : ) As far as I know the place near the Beer Republic with the ugly paint job is open 10 AM to 10 PM.
