VIP Asia Club closed

[BigAl]

empty forever

know who has got hold of it now and it will be good and busy again

 

[molloyboy3]

Who and what's the plan for it?

 

[Florida Girl]

whilst i know it aint my business - but they know what they are doing (usually!)

 

[ben a]

If I take it....first thing, I'm renovating the toilets!

Putting in some new "farang" style crappers, with some decent "BUM GUNS!" h: h:

Then, I'll be charging 10thb for usage. (big money maker 55555):

 

[Blaziken]

For the price of 300k a month and the tea money thats about the going rate for that area.

If someone were to get a 3+3+3 at that rate then they could knock it down and build something inviting to go in. The set up wasn't nice or inviting.

For only three years you can't get a proper return on investment.

Gotta have good bum guns!! 555555555

Someone has made a movie about Bum guns!!>>

Very rarely you'll get a 3+3+3 in a sought after location in Patong. Its done on a 3 year basis so that if after 3 years someone has made a successful business and making big money and wants to extend the lease the landlord can up his rent accordingly. As is always the case with these greedy Thai cnuts...they always want a piece of the pie !!!

 

[Steve the Fob]

im not sure I really want to know but I have to ask what are BUM GUNS

This place is the kiss of death for investment.It got slagged rotten in the last edition of the Asia Bugle and went bust less than a month later.h:

It used to be the Poco Loco and that became Chicago which was a classy place.The owners of Chicago lost everything due to dodgy lease.Then came VIP Asia with a bunch of unknown investors.Anton was running things quite well but for some unexplained reasons had to bale out and the place went to the dogs (literally).:zzz:

It would take a lot of research and due dilligence before I would go near that place.How would you know that the lease you are getting is valid.:erf:

FYI Both Feng and Shui are now working at the Beergarden in Kamalalala!

A mate told me.

I used to like VIP when it was a pool hall, a few years back.
The Hot Dog stand out front used to do better business than inside though.

Word on the street then was a foreigner bought the lease for 10 Million Baht. Never saw it busy... not even one day after that.

 

[Qatie]

Maybe use a decent lawyer? get them to rewrite it or change/add clauses?

I reckon you have got to be some dumb mother to not make that place work ,needs only a little investment, lots of initial effort and bingo, money making machine.

Got to keep away from it becoming a late night only venue, get the day trade and all evening stuff, open it up a bit for the day, making it more accesible, less dark, give some shape internally, some corners etc, maybe a unique theme. Take that stupid big sign off it and give it a bit of external class.

There doddle, why didn't I rent it?

 

[pinkwafer]

AGREED!!! I used that big sign as a a landmark to find me way from Bangla to San Sabaii when I were pissed as a newt...What will I do now???

 

[Neil A]

Err walk across the road from Bangla?

 

[Darksoul]

Bingo?........What next.........Indoor bowls? 5555555555555555

 

[Alex B]

I'll tell you what craigy boy, if you were allowed to opena bing o hall here you'd fill it all day, at a local fayre here in Lala, they had a sort of Bingo but only winning sweets and stupid stuff, not money, and crikey the Thais were queing to be able to play.

I reckon I'd make a really good bingo caller as well, eyes down.....wallets gone, whoops!!

 

[Socrates]

I remember when VIP was CHICAGO and it worked the best of any place I'd seen in the last 20 somethin' years....Anton is an old friend from my BKK days and he does try hard ! The Landlord there has always wanted a big US food franchise co. to rent it.....might be a great location for a SIZZLER or such ,if you could re-build a few floors !

 

[starlet51490]

Hot dog stall took 8k a night but, getting staff was a *****.

 

[C.A.S.]

Does anybody here remember when the location used to be an 24-hour a day simple thai-food shop serving cheap and good thai food ?

Good pick-up joint in the early morning hours,too :he: !!
