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

[lonelywombat]

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

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.

...One must live in Pattaya to be aware of what is happening...

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?

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.

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.

No reason to return

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.

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.

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?

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.
