@@Buzzinpattaya not sure how he as a first time business owner in Pattaya can truly evaluate that.....though if the current numbers are positive for him, great. Low season is inevitable.....how each business prepares and navigates through it is where the rubber sometimes must meet the road. You have been in Thailand long enough to know that. Again, wish him the best of luck, he gave an excellent interview.
@@krisbrand354 possibly could have numbers but in comparison to what/when? To me that's apples and oranges. If he has prior experience running a bar/club it will go a long way to help him in this endeavour. Never said he wouldn't or couldn't be successful, just mentioned what was said and that it's a little premature for an assessment, he did mention he has a five year plan which is very sensible, Rome wasn't built in a day. I have met and spoken to a few owners of bars in Thailand, running a bar isn't all cocktails and dreams or to be considered a "hobby", it's pretty competitive and hard work though obviously it can be rewarding as there are many successful businesses, though there are just as many that don't turn out that way. Again an excellent interview and I wish him the best of luck.
In your 60s? Think running a bar is a good retirement? Don't do it! It is 24/7 extremely hard work, you will need to watch like a hawk and be extremely involved to have any chance of success.
He seems like a nice enough chap but that was an uphill interview Trev.... Another business in Pattaya isn't a bad thing though, I wish him all the best
Google translate camera is brilliant for reading menus in restaurants and street food stalls that are only in Thai language. It's one of those things that you assume everyone knows about. I will have to start asking people I meet if they know about it.
I am coming back to town in march for 2nd trip this year. What part of town has more reasonable drink prices. Walking street and soi 6 were a bit expensive. What is best area for cheaper drinks but still pretty girls?
Using the Google Translator was a brilliant find for me the first time I went to Thailand. Unfortunately I didn’t find out until the last few days before I went home again 😂
Good interview but he didn’t really open up much about the ins and outs of owning a bar, how he set it up, who his Thai partner is? Etc etc. very short care free answers to your questions. Didn’t learn too much.
yes I knew but to be honest it was about 7mths ago when I actually found out , but have never used it ... but I did just recently buy one of those TIMEKETTLE TRANSLATOR and once again haven't used it yet but will in June when in LOS again
Hi Trev yes I used the Google translation on my phone 🤳 get someone to show you how it works mate, awesome interview by the way, cheers Marty in New Zealand 👍🖐️
new that and use it often lol like in a Chinese food place and wonder what the art work says. You can also download a language in case you don't have internet.
I understood he doesn't open until 5:00pm. As he is an American, will he open early to host a Super Bowl party for the biggest American Football game of the season?
If a farang owns a bar in Soi 6 and it's reasonably busy on most days with the right number of girls, how much profit could the bar make each month on average?
@@Buzzinpattaya I'm considering putting some money into a bar but just wanted a ballpark figure Trev. Just wondered if good money can be made if the bar is busy, the rent is reasonable etc.
OMG Trev, I thought you were a smart guy. I think most people know Google Translate signs into any language by using your phone’s camera. I always use it on Thai menus 🤘🤘😀😀
Glycine & NAC (n-acetyl cysteine). Take a regimen of that with the Pattaya lifestyle and I swear your hangovers will be much more manageable! Especially if you either stick to only beer or vodka sodas. See you in April! I'm telling you, Trevor, everybody who's trying to have a good time in Pattaya needs to remember their health and taking these two supplements together were greatly benefit everything!!!
Having only been in Bangkok before it is noticeable that it is a good deal less expensive across the board in Pattaya, the other strange thing I hadn't considered was because there is so much more to Bangkok you can walk around it all day without catching any sun...unless you go out of your way to do so, not so Pattaya!!!
Bangkok food is much much cheaper than pattaya(local Thai food, not sure about high end restaurants). Hotels are a bit less in pattaya but that might be about it. Foot Massages in Bangkok 150 baht, they 250-300 in pattaya.
@@mikedezo424 It feels to not be the case for me, although I tend to stay in the busier areas of Bangkok so I'm sure you are right. I will agree eating in Bangkok is extremely cheap if you wish it to be, its pretty easy to eat for less than a happy hour beer in Nana Plaza a day if you so choose
LOL. Who in that bar put on "Roberto vs the World" on one of the large TVs in the backgroun?. His show is completely mad and very funny but every so often he gives gems of advice on Pattaya. Regarding Google Translate, yes there is a "Camera" feature that translates instantly to English any foreign language if you point the camera at it. Now all mobile language translation devices have this feature.
@@BuzzinpattayaRoberto vs the World is his RUclips channel. I highly encourage you to watch some of his Pattaya videos. The dude is a legend. He would be a great guy to incite in your channel too. He blew up to like 220k subscribers over the last 6-7 months from like 30k. Definitely worth reaching out to him. He will be back in town soon. In Colombia at the moment. Funny and a total extrovert that starts the party any place he goes. Was a bummer I didn’t get a chance to hang with him this trip
Westerner meets Thai girl fall in love buys bar for girlfriend.She destroys it then gets Thai boyfriend to refurbish it and sell it on and the cycle continues.haha.
Its down to people like him ,you also ,that make Pattaya a fun place to go ,its taking a chance,so good luck to anyone who is prepared to splash the cash,all the best 👍
Trevor, great interview thx. Something I've often wondered is renting bars you're at the mercy of the landlord. The rumours they'll bump the rent significantly if biz I'd doing well , or worse just not re new your lease and keep the biz you've grown. Is there much if any truth to this or is it just a myth? Cheers mate
Im only just learning the benefits of Google translate.. I tried it years ago but it felt so pre historic and un trustworthy.. but it seems to be. a life line for many now..
I have heard too many nightmares with Westerners getting ripped off. I suppose the bar would have to be in your name only, definitely not your wifes or girlfriends name. It would take a lot of work, and it would be difficult to trust someone. I been to Colombia many times too but would never have a business there
Let's say a 2000 sq foot space with patio. Was thinking of doing a (working) girl-free bar for guys that don't want to be hassled, but want to pre-game and meet other travelers and get some good western food .@@jameshightower8875
Yes Trevor Google photo translate is a thing. My thai girlfriend uses it every time we go into a restaurant when the menu is in English. But I have to admit like you I didn't know about it. I always thought it was because her phone is permanently glued to her hand. It was only last month when she showed me.
Anyone? How much money it takes for:- 1- mamasan salary 2- per girl salary 3- tentative electricity for normal bar Rent and investments are variable for everyone so wont ask about it. Thanks in advance
@Buzzinpattaya thanks ..well that name would explain why I couldn't understand you Trevor. Lol...looks like the spelling is Hwangjael when I found it on google
Ain't no way you getting laid in aussie for $46..... even here in NZ it's $90 for a 60min non-sensual massage...... Hookers cheapest you would get is some horrible back alley gutter root for like $150.
Exactly ,they are quoting 1500 and some much more! Want 10 minute Ladydrinks and give you a bad conversation without something more in exchange .Soi 6 has changed alot to the worse since foreign owners took over last 10 years and it got worse after reopening 22.Easy to say cheap Charlys but truth is most visitors came in more times a year and have to fight inflation at home and the cake didn't grow.
Angeles is like a few side streets but still the same old games as all of Asia I will be back in march it's been 30years since I've been to Thailand I've been going to the Phillipines mostly and cambodia so watch out Thailand crazy 🤪 John is on his way. Thailand wasn't ready for me 30years ago we will see if Thailand can handle me 😂😂😂 !
Trev did well to be fair in this interview. His one line blunt responses didn’t help for a good interview. He seems a bit delusional about the hard work that needs to go into this. He be gone within 12 months..
Google translate is fantastic and free. Had a partner who couldn't speak English. We managed to communicate. Beats all other online apps. It will work offline if you download Thai on to your phone (didn't try this feature)

Haha you can rely on me
He’s a Norwood 4 with some crafty combing .
Prob 3-4 yrs to full captain picard
Gotcha
I'm an American, he seems to be a trust fund smug.. Panama City Panama is a second to Pattaya.
Okay
Good ol' thai bar put up the Xmas decorations in October and just leave them up
Hahw
He seems like a decent guy
He is
Entertaining trev.You was on form lol.Talk abt taking it in his stride.

Haha good man
Great, I'll be there next week and visit my fellow yanks place and check it out.
Cool
I understood he doesn't open until 5:00pm. As he is an American, will he open early to host a Super Bowl party for the biggest American Football game of the season?
Best to ask him directly as I am not sure sorry
@Speedy
I'm sure he'll adapt to one-off events.....he seems easy going
Would start at 3am if doing that live man. It’s 15+ hours ahead of the states here
If a farang owns a bar in Soi 6 and it's reasonably busy on most days with the right number of girls, how much profit could the bar make each month on average?

@@Buzzinpattaya I'm considering putting some money into a bar but just wanted a ballpark figure Trev. Just wondered if good money can be made if the bar is busy, the rent is reasonable etc.
No you cannot make money no matter what....the coppers will want a bigger share if you actually make money.
@@PopTartLee Cheers, I heard the cops wanted a slice. I doubt they'd take all the profits though?
About 500,000 baht a day profit on average
Sounds like he would be a great boss. Nice interview.
Cheers mate
whats the name of the massage place you mentioned in the video?
Hwangjai
Saw another question that intrigued me. How much does a Mamasan make?
Good question

If you thought I was smart you definitely don't know me lol
It didn't when I needed to read a Thai menu in Hat Yai.
Well that's 20 minutes I won't get back. The chap is so laid back, I Hope he can afford to lose money as its an accident waiting to happen.

I am in the bar business in the USA and a successful operator. How much capital is realistically needed to open a bar there?
