Yeah trav I love What Maggie mays Thanks for the video Can't wait to see you guys in March. We'll have to do another tour of duty l o l on soi 6 cheers mate
I have been to MMJ since day 1 and it has become my “local”. Martín does an outstanding job! Since it’s my “local”, I am interested in having a good beer and a chat, in a great atmosphere. Martín pays attention to make sure you get a perfect pint of Guinness and also makes sure there is a good beer selection, other then the normal Thai beers, which makes this gents club stand out compared to others in the area. I highly recommend.
Martin comes across as one of the nicest people you are ever gonna meet, like quite a few comments have said you really need to do another interview with him. Moving to Jomtien in a couple of weeks definitely going to go to Maggie Mays Jomtien to meet Martin and the ladies of course. Great vlog Trev
I don't think i could be a bar manager but on the flip side i would be a decent customer so there is that. Great video as always mate. As always i left a like :)
that was so quick you could have fill in 30/40 mins that bloke needs a full 2 interviews sounds like a very interesting fella,please Khun T do more with him,come on it's not like you're busy LOL
I'm not sure he makes that much money as a bar manager in Pattaya, it is likely he made his money in construction which allows him to have this type job.
Hi Trevor, I just want to apologise about a recent message I sent regarding your channel. I am very apologetic. You are an amazing guy. I love your channel and I love your positivity regarding Pattaya. I love the weekly news you pass on and I really enjoy listening to your Sunday chat show. I hope I didn’t cause offence. I am so sorry if I did. I was in a bad place regarding work pressures and indeed it was difficult to snap out of it having just arrived in Thailand immediately after finishing work and not really getting into holiday mode thereafter. Once again I am so sorry. You are an amazing guy and I am very grateful for what you do and the hard work you have to put into your video editing. I know it is not easy. I hope you can forgive and forget. I will come to your bar next July and I’m sure I will have a much better time. I’m so sorry. I hope you are okay with my apologies. Kind regards, Jonathan
@@jonathanmortimer2279 ⁷ Jonathan if your job stresses you out, it may be worth. making a change ... if there is one thing that I have learnt over the years .. do something you enjoy doing even if this means less money and living a fit more frugal.
As anyone noticed Trevor's looking good these days, lost weight and tanned, if he puts on a wig, lipstick and a dress he would pass as a ladyboy .. I would bar fine him 🤣🤣
@@Buzzinpattaya its sad to see 👀. Lots of people's dreams of trying to make a living in pattaya. The way things are looking now in the UK 🇬🇧 a lot of people will be changing there minds about travelling to Thailand 🇹🇭. Prices are on the increase again
It's a sign of a healthy road. When you have 50 bars on a road like Soi Chaiyapoon you'd expect 20% to succeed and 80% to break even or fail. Then maybe 10% churn per year. Bars go up for sale and get sold and new owners come in and the ones that do well improve the quality of the road. It's when no bars come up for sale because everyone has given up as they know they won't sell when you need to worry.
I have been living in Thailand for many years managing two businesses, but I think that being a "bar manager" is not for everyone. You need special skills to often deal with drunken low-life types and greedy girls who would do anything for a fistful of dollars. Thanks, but no thanks
Hell no i could never do that. My only skill is sitting in the bar chatting to the girls. A little bar fine and I'm out of there with the love of my life (until tomorrow that is)😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
Customer should leave with smiles else we are not doing good job as bar.He has got it absolutely right 👍 to all the customers guuys make efforts to be nice to the girls and bar .Make them feel as good customer to get best service.
Beware when playing pool at the Buzzin Lounge .. there's a girl in there that's a pool shark. I offered to play her & cocky me said I would give her 200 baht every time she wins. She disappears & reappears with her pool cue. She broke and potted everything. Five games later I am 1,000 baht poorer. I say enough I will play you for no money, I win the game & I say at least I won one, she replies I don't try if there's no money 😡
Bar fines haven't really changed in the last 5 years. It's 1000b start of day, 500b 3 hours before close and 300b at closing. Girls may want slightly more nowadays but that's always a negotiation and it varies. Jomtien should be cheaper than central Pattaya and the dark side is even cheaper.
@@Enochsright I only mentioned bar fine prices. Which are exactly what I described in my bars and many others. What ladies charge is entirely separate and in addition to the bar fine.
Having managed Amazon ago go. Fubar, Boons Bar, and other bars in Cambodia. I can say its a lot of fun and if your funds are low, a great way to get by, but its not a healthy life style and can get boring having to stay in the same spot night after night.
I think it takes a certain character who has discipline which Martin seems to have. Kind to the employees but also demands respect. I think - as a manager - if you act like a customer then you will lose respect from the ladies. If I were a manager I would never drink alcohol at the bar that I manage.
Been living in Pattaya for a decade, all the owners claim they make a fortune, I’ve never seen one rent for more the 10000 b look at their videos they always at some point show u were they live …. Dumps , it’s Thailand property cheap , hence they all bs , my misses in realestate says all the bar owners live poor , known fact ,
Yep.same same. You'll walk pass the bars and most of them are full of bar girls and hardly any customers but when interviewing a bar owner he's always "killing it".😅😅😅
@@stacreman it’s true ok , how many bars let’s say 2000 Maybe 10 are killing it … maybe I walk every day some nights No bar has more then a few guys , the odd one maybe 10 in group, all old all fat all moving at a snails pace , the day of big drinking is gone , it’s young who prefer gyms and phone …. Bar life on Thailand scale is dead
So a farang "bar manager" is a man who drinks with customers and occasionally settles problems with other farangs. I still dont get what you "do" other than pay wages and vendors.
They made the walking st sign crap. Was this a sign. But when you're young and dumb and numb you can't lose. I blame the heavies that these brat packs of youths laugh with. See you in da Dale.
Lovely content. His accent and delivery was like Michael Caine's. Nice on the ears. Read some comments about bar owners talking themselves up. Well that's the job. And at least they are putting their money where their mouth is. No pun intended. Haha..
Yeah trav I love What Maggie mays Thanks for the video Can't wait to see you guys in March.

Honest bloke. Full power to him.
Cheers mate
It’s still hard to be a bar manager. So much to deal with. Too much. Would rather just be the customer.
Yeah I get ya
Hes not bald, fat and tattooed, looks a bit out of place,, respect to him...
Ah bless you
Ha ha! ( v^-゜)♪ well said
You look good tattoos not necessary
Bruce Willis, Sean Connery, Jason Statham Ross Kemp and our Trevor .. they are all handsome men.

Thank you very much mate
As far as textbook management goes , this man is the real deal !
cheers
Learning too shut up and keeping cool is a hard thing too do
But the man is right
It’s a must in Thailand 👍
indeed mate
that was so quick you could have fill in 30/40 mins that bloke needs a full 2 interviews sounds like a very interesting fella,please Khun T do more with him,come on it's not like you're busy LOL
Sure thing mate
15 years in the bar management business was fantastic for me never regretted it made a lot of money had a lot of good times.
Nice one mate
He's certainly lived life to the full
I'm not sure he makes that much money as a bar manager in Pattaya, it is likely he made his money in construction which allows him to have this type job.
Good talk/Interview. Thanks Trev. A few years from now when I retire I might invest or be a silent partner in a bar, GC, GoGo...
fair one
Interesting story. Great advice at the end. I have always found that the girls respect me more when I say no.
So true!
Now, if there was ever a remake of the movie Snatch, I think the role of Brick Top has already been secured😆
Lol

How many bars up for sale on soi pothole?. A lot of business's up for sale now.
All of them 100 percent all of them

How can I buy a bar???
Good luck ahead mate

@@stacreman zero chance of getting anything/anyone for 300b zero.
@@Enochsright I only mentioned bar fine prices. Which are exactly what I described in my bars and many others. What ladies charge is entirely separate and in addition to the bar fine.
@@Enochsright That's bar fine, The girl will then want money on top of that

well said mate
Martin sounds like he knows his onions.
He's a nice guy
Great vlog Trev, your looking well fella ;)
cheers mate
CROYDON!!!!!
Oh my god, what a dump, I'll be back there in 3 weeks 😂
Lol
I always suspected Robin Gibb was still alive..
lol
Whatever happened to Dean from the Dive Bar?? Did his new bar ever open??
he's chilling out mate, see him every now and then
I have yet to visit the Jomtien MM location but hearing decent things. Does your pub crawl ever drop by there?
Yes mate we visit
Every time I return to uk I ask what the hell am I doing leaving Thailand
Yep I know that feeling mate
Answer, the money went? Work? Wife?
@@Enochsright back to uk for work and family
Looking forward to September 10 to 25, will see you then!
nice one
Good video Trev. Martin seems a sound fella.
cheers mate and yeah he's a nice guy
What a great guy!
yeah he is a nice guy
I'm thinking being a bar manager in Thailand has to be a tough job. To much alcohol flowing freely and it's associated problems
Yeah it's not as easy as many think
I think it takes a certain character who has discipline which Martin seems to have. Kind to the employees but also demands respect. I think - as a manager - if you act like a customer then you will lose respect from the ladies. If I were a manager I would never drink alcohol at the bar that I manage.
You should try a video where you do an interview while playing pool at the same time
haha yeah could do like a casual chat
He's done that with bar girls
Knows to let the Mamasan handle the girls and do the dirty work.
Mamasan is there to do that
Good Advice: Say no! But, TBO, you will have to say no over and over and over.
I guess
I've learned to say no in 40+ languages LOL. Keeps things fresh.
Any pics of the Maggie May girls ?
Should be on their FB page
👍🏼🍻🇦🇺
Morning mate, have a good day
Trev that lion of Peckham is Dee's bar I gave you his card to go and have a chat with him 😊
