Without watching the video first and reading the comments I was scratching my head thinking, "Did Daz do a video about the gay dating app Grinder?"....😆
Good luck to him, and as others say the customer traffic on the street is a big bonus. However, sorry but the audio was very poor. I gave up before the end (when the interview continued outside) as it was hard to listen to in an easy way. To be clear and balance my comment, I have watched all your videos for many months👌 before and since my first Pattaya 4 week trip two months ago. Keep it up, you have great content!
Speaking as an ex publican, the first year is a learning curve nightmare and that's in England, I cant think of a madder place to start your bar owning experience than Pothole, cant see him serving many coffee's 555, i'm over next month and will pop in and have a beer
It would be neat if Soi Pothole could become a Ladyboy Town - Walking Street with a illuminated glass canopy and illuminated overhead signs in the start and the end of the street 🙂
Interesting vid - the guy has chosen the best Soi to have a dabble in. Good luck to him. WIll make a welcome change having a sausage/bacon & egg bap in the morning. :))
Good luck to him....had a Bar in Vientiane/Laos (downstair Lido Hotel) 1974/75 till Pathet Lao Government (Communists) kicked me out... a friend of mine was the owner of the famous "Madrid Bar" in Patpong/Bangkok (still existing, had a cold one there 2018)
Good luck to the guy. After 40 years in construction it will be a nice change. He’s got a good position next to Dean and the breakfast idea is a goodun as there aren’t many eating places round there.
Another great video! And one more place to stop for breakfast! I stayed pothole my last trip and breakfast is a good thing on that street. Good call! Good luck and see you in October!
I like the breakfast concept, hope they have an expresso machine. On next visit, many of us would like to know what his plans for beer selection. I assume the normal Thai commercial rubbish. Many bars on this soy now have some drinkable beers like Guinness (Maggie Mays), Asahi (Maggie Mays and Backyard and Diamond bar), Beer Lao Dark (Triangle bar and Dive Bar) and High rollers has nice selection of Thai craft beer and Belgium and German beers upstairs. Seeing some improvement with better beer selection in town, but still long ways to go. Thanks in advance!
Also Wishbeer, one block over has an excellent beer selection, both draft and bottles. Would love to see you do a review of this bar for good beer lovers.
I love your videos. But this time that grinder noise spoils everything. Perhaps you could give it a second try without it.For me as an not native english spaeker it is nearly unwatchable.
The construction noise in the background made this vlog unwatchable and so unpleasant. I had to stop watching at 11:10 minutes. Could we vlog at a more suitable time or location next time?
Since you can eliminate the music playing from your videos, I wish you would have done the same for that bloody grinding after about 5 seconds. That entire first 6 minutes of "interviewing" the bloke from Bath, was basically worthless as the sounds of the construction work drowned out 80% of the conversation. Good luck to the fellow though, he might as well try and carve out his little slice of the Pothole nightlife pie to live the dream.
2 things you didn't mention. 1 why would you, there must be nye on a 100k bars in Pattaya, there really isn't the foot fall to keep them all afloat, except maybe December. 2nd you do realise your main business will be pimping out girls, think you need pretty low morales for that.
@@keef6586 it's not complaining. Its delusional foreigners thinking they can make lots of money owning bars in Thailand nowadays. We are not all naive newbies. People like me have lived in Thailand before and had Thai wives. Men don't need to go to bars in Pattaya to meet girls, I mean girls in the bar scene itself or otherwise. Put up a genuine decent photo of yourself on some social media app and you will get a dozen women in Pattaya contact you on the first day. The bar fine model will soon be over, it's almost game over in that respect, although people will still go to drink at some bars, play pool etc.
@@ActiveAussie2024 so what, it’s his money to do what he wants with. With the greatest respect if you have had Thai wives you clearly have made your own mistakes. Let him make his. He obviously has the money To give it a go. All these type of posts just stink of jealousy tbh.
Yeah name your bar nothing that people will remember and the only bar to get promoted is the dive bar lol. Yeah I can see it now when someone talking to his friend " yeah I can't remember the name of the joint but it's right next to the dive bar" brilliant marketing lol.
Oh my gosh. Couldn't the local government have resurfaced Soi Pothole during the Covid years? It ain't no freaking sight for tourists like this, you feelin me?
Seems like a nice guy, I wish him well. I have been in the Bar/Restaurants/Hospitality industry for 40 years. I can never understand the fascination of “Construction” guys wanting to own their own bars! I mean I get the whole thing about liking to drink and all but you cannot sit sit and drink all day and own a bar! I wish I had just a nickel for every “Construction” guy I’ve known that has lost his entire ASSets in this endeavor. He is basically leaving everything for someone else to run and operate that he cannot even pronounce her name correctly. Like I say, “wishing” or “dreaming” of owning a bar is far from actually running and successfully operating one. Let alone in a foreign land. Thank God I have been profitable over the many years but it came with a heavy price. One of my biggest lessons was trying to run a simple ice cream store in Medellin Colombia! Lol. Again, I hope he beats the odds! ✌
Couldn`t watch this with that background noise. Looks like just another beer bar that won`t be able to get any decent girls, just like all the others at the moment.
Irritating listening to the construction noise !, why not move down the street a bit so not have us have to listen the the circular saw din, but good on him for giving it ago, you have to have a certain mindset to work in that business , be positive and stay positive , some people are not cut out for it and a little flair goes a long way too, my dad was 50 years in that scene he was brilliant , hope he does well , cheers and beers !
They did, these are the NEW potholes - same-same but different. It cant be Soi Pothole if its pristine now can it - it has its history & reputation to think of which is vital for us regulars.
that guy with the angle grinder was properly on top of his job , can we get number or link in the description please , my only criticism he didnt have er defenders on , see you on the next video , i dont think our naive brit stands a chance at running a bar successfully with out the mama san , when she s off sick / holidays / day off he ll struggle ,
i take a friend first time to pattaya. he likes it very much and want live there. but he not old enough, so he must work. he thought that he need 1 Million a year. he ask me, what he must do to have 1 Million baht in bank . i told him, come with 2 Million. After 1 year you have 1 Million. I know more people lost everything than people make money. the problem you can talk with them, warn them, they believe young girls without school more than good friends
yes sir. got my ticket for Nov. 17. Tickets aren't bad from the US but I did pay a little more due to not wanting to fly a Taiwanese airline. Don't trust the CCP. I either fly Cathay Pacific or Eva out of JFK. This time flying my 3rd preference, Korean air but still cheaper than I have paid sometimes in the past.
Schneller kann man kein Geld verbrennen. Ein Gastzimmer und eine Bar/Restaurant. Das wird monatlich Schulden von 500 € produzieren. Das macht alles kein Sinn. Wäre nicht der erste, dem das Lachen schnell vergeht.
love your videos ... but this was the worst one ever = couldnt hear the interview very well and that grinder was annoying and almost made the video unwatchable - sorry to say as i usually love your vids ... but this was a fail
Oh that grinder! Thanks Daz, but I had to skip a lot of this cause it was pretty bad. Could they not stop for 15 mins?
@@Roof_Pizza Or watch another video with bearable sound? or maybe re-shoot it with non-ear piercing annoying sound? there are a number of possibilities one could do here your advice included. cheers
Put a car or wall between you and the grinder. That passing car cut the noise to a tolerable level for a few seconds.
Agreed with this comment 100% grinder is horrible. Scratching a chalk board.
@@Roof_Pizza the captions say the saw noise is “music” lol
Without watching the video first and reading the comments I was scratching my head thinking, "Did Daz do a video about the gay dating app Grinder?"....😆
Nice to see soi pothole is living up to its name 555,
brave guy during these hard times , good look fella .
Loving the Thai "safety third" construction team.
Another beautiful place when open. Thanks for your great videos
Daz, your are doing very good videos, but the grinder noise was so irritating. No much fun watching this, had to skip a lot ….. Sorry!
Sorry about that

I love your videos but that grinder. Why didn't you walk away and talk to him. Had to turn it off.
What a shame about that grinder in the background m8….i had to switch off….😏
The conversation occasionally interrupted the grinder 😆
I liked ur walk about and showing thiland it was like the old times

He should have asked his builder to turn off the grinder and take a break, I couldn't sit through this one, sorry Daz
Good luck to this guy, if I can get across there when he opens I’ll have a drink with him. KUBLA BAR
Congratulation to 50.000 subscibers, sir !!! I knew this gonna happen this year. Hope to invite you to what ever soon. Cheers from germany
Not there yet !!!

Watched the lot matey even with the noise.very informative as always.another bar I've to try on my bar crawl when in Pattaya .thanks for showing.
Thanks 👍
The video gave me flashbacks to grinding bilges on a Navy frigate
Love your videos, but holy shit, that noise is irritating.
Call manager mamasan didn't go down well.
How much for license and police?
Nice to see Soi Pothole back to it's potholie magnificence....555
Is he going to have bench swings in front?
I will definitely be in that area in a few months thanks Daz.
Good Video 📹 👍 👌 👏

Hey Daz, this would of been a cracker of a video if it wasn't for that angle grinder drowning out most of the audio.

Being an exbuilder he should get that roof problem sorted asap.
Not many eating places might mean no one eats there...lol. Been there tried that.
It's Pattaya not Hard to find place to eat.

@Zach zachary you can get girl selection at most bars, but terrible beer selection.
Daz, routinely you have good vlogs. But I can't hear a damn thing with that background noise!!
Agreed, so bad this time for the viewers. No fun watching this kind videos with poor noise, Sorry Daz!
I used to use them often in construction. They are noisy af. Can be extremely dangerous also, people do so many stupid things with them.
I'm always surprised by the size of these places. Is it 4 floors?
I love your videos. But this time that grinder noise spoils everything. Perhaps you could give it a second try without it.For me as an not native english spaeker it is nearly unwatchable.
How does it work to run a bar? A Manager and then a mamasan, bar tender, and bar girls and security?
can't really hear much due to the noise, you should move away more...
How about an update on this place Daz
Very good video like always 🙏
Are the buildings in Pattaya are leased with all the floors?
Usually yes
@@everythingPattaya 👍 Thanks, and the basement may or may not be there depending on the building, or do most buildings have them?
If there Breakfast are no good perhaps you could get a job cooking breakfast there 😂 cheers bud looking to the next update 👍🤝🇬🇧

Daz, I think i spotted you in RISE the other morning, it was around 3-4 am when i showed up.
Not me
Oh yes the noise. Worth a visit
So noisy, had to skip but still too noisy to hear.
Had to stop watching. Come back when they are done with the grinder.
good to see those invisible eye protection with the grinder.
Safety squints
Probably also wears a facemask on his motorbike without a helmet 🤣
I think giving it a name that Thais and farangs can pronounce easily is a good move.
that grinder,😂
In Xanadu did Kubla Khan, a stately pleasure dome decree,.....
Soi Pothole is becoming more of a pothole road again .
I just said the same thing. I thought they repaved it not too long ago...it turned to shit again 😄
Had to go on account of the audio.

There is not even any need to bar fine anymore if you are using certain apps. I think the days of bar fines will be be ending soon.
Yes good days over in Pattaya for bars… and even tourists recover will take years

Good name for bar will be ........ ' Soi Dog ' !
Bright chap, all the best in this endeavour.. please get a decent mic though😬
Being in British construction though, he must be shocked by the hsse ...or lack of... Talk about a fire trap ..
Its Thailand ffs - hsse is the back door with a bolt on it. Its not blighty tha knows.
patayya women are very dary..not so much in bkk or chiangmai? hmm..fairer better...looks like pattaya is out..only bkk. chaingmai too small..
Can’t hear the interview
Don’t you read the comments
I would let the girls live in all the rooms if I was the manager. So they have to pay that ekstra to take the girls out of the bar😊
Oh my gosh. Couldn't the local government have resurfaced Soi Pothole during the Covid years? It ain't no freaking sight for tourists like this, you feelin me?
It was good some time ago...
Its meant to be like this - its SOi Pothole. The potholes are fighting back.
