Sorry mate. Don’t want to get into a price thread. I’m a lot cheaper than most gogos and beer bars on Walking St. I don’t just compete in price. I have aircon, nice toilets, big TVs, better customer care etc.

just need pretty bitch & change name le secret

Secrets is 1 of the best bars in Pattaya . It’s big clean and modern bar just off walking street . 
But what it doesn’t did not have is the personality or manager behind the bar . Someone that can bring in the crowd . I stayed in the hotel a few times but it’s not my cup of tea. Climbing up the stairs after a few drinks (a lot ) 

whoever takes over the bar will need to be well known to draw in the crowd again and bring back the good attractive ladies

I agree with most of what you say but you have the highlighted bit wrong. For me what kept me going back was the girls and how I felt whilst partying in the place. Sure hosts like Larry were a big asset but they had some super girls working for them that had great attitudes and were at a reasonable price for the service they provided. Take the girls away of which they had probably the best afternoon line up in WS and probably 50 to 70 girls working at night every day and no one would have stayed in the place. Also the food was very good for a bar. Infact the whole package was so good  that many guys never ever left the hotel and the bar for the whole of their holiday.

also good a/c & wireless when not so common years ago. not many good ac bars open afternoon in pattaya.

Pretty amazing the amount hand wringing and hype of imminent disaster all because early programmers shortened the storage of a year to two digits to save a couple bytes of storage space. But then you have to remember in the early days of computers, storage space was limited and very costly.

For me the Y2K problem was great as it provided a very lucrative and successful change in my career path. I was working as an accountant in the 90's, but in 1998 software companies were recruiting far and wide to help with upgrades to their software. The result was I landed a job with an international software company as a consultant to help install upgrades at customer sites. The pay was great and even better I got to travel every week to different customer sites around the US.

On the night of the big event, I happily watched the clock tick over into the new year because this once in a lifetime event had just put even more money into my pocket. That was because the software company offered a 2k USD bonus for those that would agree to be on call for the 24 hours around NYE. Easy money for doing absolutely nothing. Thank you Y2K!

 

simlar for me. on duty all night @ power plant. but just 2x pay.

I did not know where to put these photographs and finally settled on the Street Photography thread.  The two ladies were distributing their leaflets, initially when I saw them at Chunky Monkey and Hungry Hippo.  By the time I had got the camera out of the bag they had moved along down Soi  Buakhao.  I mentioned that I was a personal friend of @Yessongs and so they posed for the last few photographs.

Maybe the usual source- poached from other bars?  Same with the customers.  They, too, have to come from other bars.

If the Avenue Plaza opens on April 1-  I mean March 31, 2020, with between 30 and 40 go go bars in operation, it would be a miraculous accomplishment that would attract international attention.  Reporters from The Wall Street Journal; The Financial Times; The Economist; Forbes and every other business publication would rush to Pattaya to write about it. It's the quirky kind of story all investors love.

A failed shopping mall with 90% of its retail space empty will have been turned into a large adult entertainment center in just three months.  Talk about a turnaround that investors dream about!  The potential income and profit from 30-40 go go bars is enormous. It's putting a useless non-performing asset  to a very creative purpose.

But it's optimistic to the max to think anywhere near 30 bars will open in three months.  They'll be lucky if three or four open.  Should those pioneer bars prove immediately  successful, then more will follow in their wake.  But if they struggle for customers,  it will take a long time and very deep pockets to establish the Avenue Plaza as an adult entertainment complex.

It's not an impossible project but very difficult.  More modern and comfortable facilities through conversion of empty retail space is an advantage in attracting customers and lower rents will help the bottom line.  But everything hangs on attracting pretty girls to work there. That's the one piece that has to fall into place.

May the Seven Gods of Good Fortune smile on the Baku Group!

"New Pattaya bar area not realistic.

With regards to the proposed new Indian-run bar area on Pattaya’s Second Road in what is now The Avenue, as has been mentioned before, expansion of the industry is only going to dilute the product. It would need a wholesale shift from one area to the other. Even if this project proceeds as planned, it’ll take at least a couple of years to eventuate. I was there last month and The Avenue was still operating as a shopping mall. They’d have to wait for all the existing leases to expire (some big businesses there that won’t be stuffed around e.g. McDonald’s, Starbucks, Villa), then knock it down, and build the new venue. It’d be a person of rare foresight and trust who’d be willing to commit now to having a bar there."

like how he copy posts here without credit.example john luke post abot so much polution can not see pattaya sign.
