Taking sand to the beach for an overpriced beer.

hooters with no hooters

I hope they plan to make there profits from high sales volumes, not high priced sales.

Coals to Newcastle comes to mind.

Hats off to the Thai girls, the real backbone of Thailand's economy.

What a coup for the tourist industry. What better way to enhance Thailand's international reputation as a high-quality tourist destination . .

Now see if you can pick the one who is a "Ladyboy"....

At 1am....who cares....they're all beautiful!!

You'll just be going there to look at the girls and drink overpriced beer, because the food at Hooters Sucks!

Thai girls with big boobs.

I don't believe it.

Now see if you can pick the one who is a "Ladyboy"....

They all look like ladyboys!

I don't care much for Hooters food I do like the scenery.

I don't get it?

I don't get it?

Yes probably, but you might be able to ask for a telephone number!

Katoeys..or are the hooters authentic?

The lady on the left is authentic. She is the mother of my good friends daughter, who is 14 years old.

Just what Thailand doesn't need...more overpriced tourist traps from the West. Hoping they fail fabulously!

I reckon it will be as successful as lap dancing clubs are successful in Thailand (NOT) .... and for the same obvious reasons.

Some western businessmen have always been stupid when it comes to local culture.

Why? What they are doing is opening a new bar, how is that any different from any other bar venture?

What are the beer prices in the Bangkok branch going to be then?

An envious someone else who knows the prices ahead of it's opening. And why would anyone display so much delight at the prospect of all the local staff losing their jobs?

And some Thaivisa posters seem to be just as dull. This is a franchise operation in Thailand so nothing to do with western businessmen being stupid, quite the opposite in fact.

She also appears to have only one leg.

Swiss Geez - maybe don't understand how franchise operations work in practice.

The franchisor will be the one rubbing his hands together expecting to make lots of luvvly jubbly out of this. Typically a franchisor would make 2 to 3 times the profit made by a franchisee. Wouldn't mind betting this was a push operation from the west not a pull from the locals.

Yeah, boo to those tourists that may not want to hang out in the same places as me or you or everyone else ... boo to them!

Do they though? Do they really? Jeez

God, you must be right about that, I count only 11 feet. I'm catching up with her the week after next. It will be interesting to see a legless hooter.

Maybe you don't understand how the English language works in practice, try reading my post again. I know exactly how franchises work.

And it's "Sviss" , not "Swiss".
