Open again!

6 nights ...... And we are back. 39 girls signed in ..... Another 4 are with customers. Not bad.

I had hoped to get you some pictures - but decided to wait until everything is finished (2-3 days yet)
So what have we done?
Well I said it was a refurbishment - so actually nothing radical. One thing we have considered is glassing the front, it certainly is the latest trend - but every time we talk to our customers about it they all say that they really like the way you can simply stroll in and out, sit near the street, dance with the girls in the street etc.

We have also considered Air Blades and internal Air conditioning. The advice is that to cover the whole frontage, they simply wouldn't work - and many of our tables and chairs would be directly under the blades - have you ever spent any time under an air-blade?

So:

• The motley patch sickly green floor has gone - now a nice rustic pavior effect.
• We have moved almost all of the temple upstairs - giving us more working space behind the bar - which has allowed us to actually reduce the overall working area! Christ. We have rebuilt (again) the counter, giving more space to the customer side. It was about 30 cms at the front and probably 50cms along the side. It really has made the bar feel much bigger.
• We have moved - and expanded the girls' dancing podium - just a nudge here and there - but you can now sit at a table without a girl's arse in your face (or you can move your chair to get closer again) It's also a nudge higher to save the Voyeurs getting a crink in the neck.
• The DJ wanted to show off a bit - so a new DJ spot with Acrylic - again moved a few Cms to make the bar area bigger.
• We have extended the toilets into the old kitchen area - so a second trap!
• The mice ate the wiring (surprising really given how fat they get eating all the food left for Buddha) so we have had to re-wire.

Have we finished - oh, I forgot, we put a few mirrors around the place as well.

I think we have finished for now - if only because I get so pissed off with the contractors always trying to cut corners and the old Thai Style "looking good on the night ..... useless by the morning".

Visit to the School for the Blind

We think it's important to make a contribution to the community - and for Family Birthdays we always make special donations.
It was Tat's 15th Birthday recently. We went to the School for the Blind - to give a donation and prepare a meal.



For Anna's birthday (1st October) this year we are once again requesting no flowers or gifts - but a donation to the Home for people with HIV in Rayong

Stuart's Birthday Party

Whilst we have some time:......



It's actually higher quality than this - go to the original on YouTube and you can see it in High Quality (full screen quality).

Tempory Closure!

After struggling for 5 years with our flooring we are now forced to upgrade it.
But it means we will have to close for a week whilst we do so.
We are also improving the toilets and revamping the wiring at the same time.
So the bar will be closed from Wednesday 17 September. We will re-open the following Wednesday, 24 September. The Guesthouse will be open as usual.
Please accept our apologies - and be assured we will be better for it!
