KEVIN OF THROB ADVISES POSSIBLE SALE OF THROB AND SPLASH
IS IN NEGOTIATIONS, "BUT NOT SOLD"
* * * *
ALSO ADVISES THAT LE CAF├Й ROYALE
IS NOT UP FOR SALE
Kevin Quill, owner of Throb and Splash Nightclub together with the Body Club Massage facility, and the building in which they are located, sent me a message this week following the publication last week of a report that Throb and Splash had been sold, with the wrap up expected sometime within the next month. Kevin wrote:
"I wish you had contacted me before going to print regarding the weekly report of June 18th regarding businesses for sale. It is true I have been approached to sell my business which formulates the Throb and Splash show bars, The Body Club and the new wing of Le Caf├й Royale. An offer has been made and we are in negotiations at the moment.
"I did this, because as most people in Pattaya know, I was diagnosed with cancer of the vocal chords in February of this year. This problem, along with my 20 year old son who is severely diabetic and has been in and out of the hospital recently a little too much (on one visit his heart stopped) prompted me to take stock of what is important in my life. These two issues and other matters led me to decide to move on with the balance of my life in a different direction.
"Le Caf├й Royale as you know it is NOT for sale and has not been either advertised or spoken of for sale! In fact, the person who wishes to purchase my properties not only wishes to continue with the agreement (working together with Le Caf├й Royale) but wishes to expand it. Far from being sold, this year there will be additional facilities including new rooms on the Body Club floor and new Suites. The massage facility will remain in a different format.
"The actual property overall will benefit everybody and be more user friendly. The person who wishes to purchase my properties is a UK based businessman and is well known in the gay communities in Bangkok and Pattaya. Furthermore, he is very active, and has been for many years, on the charity front for HIV/AIDS, orphanages, and schools.
"The prospective purchaser has also asked me to remain to oversee the alterations, ensure a smooth changeover to allow his team to get to know the customers (who are very nice people indeed) and to keep the shows flowing as they have been. All of this, we think, will lead to a smooth professional changeover.
"Thong (alias Tina Turner in the show) has taken over the choreography of the shows and the boys are working well together. I see no need for doom and gloom, rather the reverse; an improved facility, new blood, and new and fresh ideas which can only benefit the guests, customers, and ex-pats of Pattaya.
"Finally, the property is sold when contracts are signed and money changes hands. I will not be responding to articles in gossips columns on Sawatdee forum, etc., etc. nor answering any more questions on this subject.
