Evil Penevil Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Here's a message from Pattaya Pete, the owner of the Pattaya Beer Garden, regarding the reopening: Quote We will be open tomorrow [EP note- March 18] and every day from 1pm to 10pm. We are only running 1 shift hence the shortened opening hours. As soon as turnover justifies it we will be back to normal opening times. Ten pm is still mandated closing time although the powers that be are discussing that tomorrow and may allow later closing and also the opening of bars and nightclubs. We will see. With a skeleton staff of just 20 vs the normal 100 it may take us a few days to get things humming, so please forgive any slowness or sloppiness in the service. I am fairly confident things will be fine but until we are running I can't be sure. We will tweak it as needed. On a personal note, I am stepping back from day to day operations. Twenty five years in the bar and restaurant trade in Pattaya is a pretty good run but I am not as energetic or motivated as I was in the past. Old age sucks :-). My Thai step son, Eckapon will be the new manager. He has been around me for 25 years (he is 27) so hopefully has a good understanding of "crazy" farangs. Eck has excellent English so feel free to have a chat with him anytime and your opinion on the operation and farang friendliness of the place are welcome, both in the bar and here on this forum. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From today we will be doing what every one else is doing and anything we do will be done by our own staff. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he spoke about the outside area I immediately thought of the good old days in Singapore with Popeye Joes... ..Afternoon champagne lunches, a few drinks in the bar plus a nightclub...Nah...He doesn't stand a chance.

From watching his very first videos up country when he was natural, fun and informative......but then he just went to bollocks after Nick Noi and Morph left and when he promoted NWG he stopped being himself. But to answer your question directly, no, I don't know him personally but have had a beer with him that's all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
