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".

Sounds interesting, Peter !
I´m eager to see it and hope that you will post some pictures soon.
It seems to me that you were considering the style of "Party Bar" in Soi 8... glassing the front.
Looks nice,- But I have to agree with your customers´comments on this idea... The air conditioning also was a problem, last time I visited Party Bar... In some corners inside the bar it was freezing cold... in other corners, hot like without any air conditioner or fan. I still like Party Bar. But thinking about it from another point of view, I see a waste of money, because the glass slit door was open all the time... This makes no sense whilst running an air conditioner.
Sounds good Peter, looking forward to seeing a few pics and seeing it for myself at Xmas.
p.s I dropped you a line a few days ago to the usual addr3ss which has "run" and "box" in it.
Usually I get an auto reply from AJ but not this time ?
Anyway, it was just to say that the final installment "Part 4of 4" is up now with more pics and my take on the AJ
Take it easy
Look forward to seeing the “New Improved” Anna Jets in November Peter. Sounds interesting though I’m one of the one’s who prefers a girls arse in my face!!!!
