Double Shot has kick started his bar with 8 new and fresh boys

Pleased to see that instead of giving up and closing , the owner has decided to try and attract the old crowd and also build up momentum for new faces in high season.
With happy hour till 9 it is good value drinking ,when there is pleasant company to enjoy with.
I hope that some of the old crowd call in and join in.

Re-introducing the raw meatloaf could be the clincher in attracting the "old crowd" - but any business opening or re-opening In Sunee has to be a welcome development

Having spoken to the owner last time this was discussed I am not surprised.
He did say he will continue with Doubleshot, for this High Season, and then decide whether to move on....so its not permanent.

If he decides to move on it could be an ideal investment opportunity for an ageing farang and his young 'boyfriend'. As he approaches retirement and his monthly payments are harder to meet this might be the way forward. Give the kid a job.

Sorry scottish-guy, Double Shot never hosted the meatloaf dinners and the "old crowd" did not go to Double Shot but rather to Elephant Plaza although the same owner. One must live in Pattaya to be aware of what is happening. :devilsh:

I hope the above comment was intended as irony.

Not at all. The young service provider could do all the work while the old guy would sit at the bar doing little except offering an endless supply of opinions and hilarious jokes.

Know you of such a laird?

Thanks Kitty, for quoting that ridiculous suggestion

Even if somebody wanted to do that, the very last gay area to do it in would be Sunee Plaza.

You'd be as well placing your money in the toilet pan and inviting said BF to pull the chain.

Some people would be better off concentrating on writing restaurant reviews (in a ludicrously affected style) in return for free breakfasts.

The beer mats could be emojis to prove the jokes are hilarious and all customers would be asked to tick the 'like' box on the customer feedback forms.

Point is, mon cherie, it's not happening is it?

So, if Double Shot re-introduced it to the area then the Old Codgers (sorry, Crowd) might re-assemble as a group there?

Double shot is as uninteresting as most other bars still
open in Sunee, the boys are useless 3 of which were about 20 10-15 years ago, cheap drinks till 9 or 10PM is hardly a reason. I hear they are busy in the wee hours but I am asleep and do not think I am missing much. For me the only thing left of interest in Sunee are the gogo bars.

Thank God my pencil has an eraser.

I am not such a laird. As an expat looking at retirement in a 3-4 years the prospect of being a Sunee plaza boy bar owner has no appeal.
I am not an expert on Sunee or the financial potential of a Sunee boy bar ownership.
A few years ago when Thomas and ?? - I forgot his name - owned the bar I got the impression it was a way to kill time and have an audience who were coming to the bar for cheap drinks. And part of the price of the cheap drink was sitting and being an audience for the owner (Neal of Happy Boys? fame was the classic example of a bar owner buying the place so he could hold court) and as I recall it was not a profitable venture for them.
I spent 5 weeks this past summer bouncing back and forth between BKK and Pattaya with the majority of the Pattaya time spent in Sunee - mostly because my friends who are long term Pattaya residents go to Sunee. The demise of Sunee plaza has been predicted for years but it keeps hanging on. However, Sunee plaza as a gay venue does seem to be hanging on less and less firmly.

Thanks. Yes Michael. Michael wanted to regale anyone who was within voice distance with the tales of his successes in life, including his many business ventures. Both of them IMHO were nice guys and as I recall they ran Double Shot for a 2-3 years and either ran out of money or lost interest in being bar owners/managers.
I did a back of the envelope calculation on the running of a bar like that and I could never believe they made any money on it. With tourism to Sunee down drastically the numbers must be even worse now.

So it rained pretty much all day in Pattaya, Boyztown was dead around 11pm, so I ventured to Sunee, to check out the new staff at Double Shot, my hopes high, based on LonelyWombat's recommendation.

Welp, not a great success. It seemed it was someone's birthday tonight at Double Shot, about 6 customers, all kinda dressed up, white shirts. There was a very large man sitting at the bar, probably owner. TV screens playing some Eastern European pop concerts off Youtube, lots of cover songs, so if you wish to listen to Hungarian (possibly Croatian) version of I Want To Know What Love Is, check the place out.
I was gonna play some pool, but table was buzy, so no luck.
Ordered one Chang, 100 Baht. Why do they call it double shot, is it 2 for 1 deal?
Wombat mentioned new guys, that's a no.
No reason to return, sorry if this is harsh.
All of Sunee was dark and smelled of death. Or maybe rain.

Hardly an evening to do a fair appraisal Doubledutch. Pouring down, turning up at gone 11 pm and the boys were probably pissed and gone off because it’s a birthday night.

They do Double Shots. The clue is in the name. Not double bottles.

My favourite bar by far.

Also the wine is not a double shot, just a single glass. During the happy hour ending at 9:00 pm beer prices are much lower as are the shots.

sunee will always have a special place in my memory,wish it could bounce back to what it was say even 10 years ago,

absoloutley loved the place,my first holiday in pattaya was not out to my friends but first visits to crazy bar/dragon/so memorable and that was 2008

As this is Pattaya we're talking about, which "old crowd" would that be?

I understand the issue has most to do with his Elephant Plaza Hotel licence which presently (apparently) can only be used for long term room lease and not daily as per normal hotel. If this one issue is resolved it seems he would be happy to stay in Sunee with both businesses staying put, but if not resolved over high season the start of next year could prove to be a definite game changer for many of the Sunee businesses who rely on a big player in the area. Like Gerefan2 I enjoy visiting Double Shot and its presence in the area. Also the owner is a nice guy who is often very generous with his bell ringing. Well he was during my recent visits there.

You simply can't expect a bar which opens from 7-8pm though to 3-4am regularly to be busy every minute of the evening. It has some great busy nights and lots of quieter times. If the pool table was busy, just ask one of the waiters when you can have a turn, they often play pool just because there's nobody on the table or showing interest.

how do u know the 8 boys are fresh?? is there a test??

Yes - it's the same test one uses on a Pineapple.

Personally, I'd just take my chances - but I'm sure it would appeal to some.

This would be an excellent post were it not for the following inconvenient facts:

a) Arsenal and I have exchanged no comments here
b) You've posted your rant in completely the wrong thread
b) By doing so you've forced this thread off-topic - the very thing you're complaining of

Well done!

But this is thread about Double Shot, a Sunee gay bar, why do you keep bringing up your beloved Wild Boars?

:)

I'm not even gonna ask why do you think gay Thailand board, a place to discuss gay sex in Thailand is a good place to bring up Thai soccer team of boys age 12 - 16.

People who may stumble across SGT for first time, and see your cave rescue mega thread may easily walk away with wrong impression.
Just wondering, if this was Thai girl's basketball team, would you still obsessively cover it, LonelyWombat?
