As it is not your bar, then I feel freer to say I give it 6 months.

Here is how is will be.

1 - Opening night with free food. Will be busy.

2 - Next couple of weeks a handful of people giving it a try.

3 - Next 6 weeks virtually empty.

4 - Big sign out front - a new one, promoting something that no one is interested in.

5 - next three months owner loses complete interest and the For Sale sign goes up.

If they are to have any chance, they should change the name to "Missus at the market? Come here for beer and a touch up by an middle aged bird"

One thing it may have going for it is location, as far as parking goes. As I only drive a car I find it almost impossible to find a park outside most of the bars on Nern Plubwan, and that road is so narrow you risk damage to your car as well.

With drink driving you risk damage to your car too. Beside of that you may risk the life of others.

If you just drink inside the legal limit, that would be different of course.

Nern Pub Wan is like a bloody race track late evening and the early hours. So you have to be doubly careful.

Two beers is my limit these days.

I see them popping up in soi khao talo and khao noi all the time. Its quite sad as no one goes to them. U just hope the women who open them r using farangs money and not waisting there own life savings. If my wife ever came to me and said "i want to open a bar with international food" i would just laugh.

I wish him luck but it is a struggle to survive in the bar business, especially on the dark side. There's a plethora of bars, new ones pop up like mushrooms and disappear as quickly. Personally I don't know why anyone would bother, you certainly aren't going to get rich, lucky if you can keep your head above water, but if he wants to give it a go, good luck.
