thai3 Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 Many will know Barbie bar on the corner of asoke in asoke plazza, it was one of the first bars there. The draw at the bar is the owner khun Dao, the word stunner is much over used but in her case it is well deserved. If you want to take a haughty BG down a peg or two take her to see Dao and watch her face drop when they see her. Anyway, to the point, she has had enough after four years and the bar, quite large with toilet and pool table is up for sale. I asked her what it was making but did not get a definate reply, she did show me photo's of the house she has built with profits from the bar, more of a palace than a house, so I assume there is money in it. The rent is 38,000 a month on a yearly re newable lease, how many more years the plaza has left I don't know. She wants 650,000 for the bar. I have no idea if this is a good deal or not, but she asked me to mention it here and I would have agreed to anything last night to keep looking at her in the top she was wearing, whew what a girl. If anybody is interested in the bar I have her phone number-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japio1 Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 I used to own a bar there from Nov. 2000 to may 2001. Rent at that time was 15,000/month, 2000 utilities, 2000 for our brown friends. Bought it for 190,000 and sold it for 210,000. Bar was making net profit of about 25,000 to 30,000 a month. Asking price for Barbie is far too high espicially considering the increased rent and the uncertainty about the future of this area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatbastard Posted September 15, 2002 Report Share Posted September 15, 2002 the head lease is witg the old dragon that owns the shop, so tenancy is on a day by day basis, she can kick the bar owner out anytime she likes, 650k ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thai3 Posted September 16, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2002 I expect you are right about the price. The only really good looking bar there is B52, not many seemed to be doing much business the last few weeks. The one at the other end which used to be yings corner is also up for sale-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Gun Posted September 19, 2002 Report Share Posted September 19, 2002 Ying is now up the road in the Soi 10 complex, down the first alley. Does the price for Barbie include Khun Dao herself? LG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thai3 Posted September 20, 2002 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 LG Funny you should say that, I won't mention her or somebody is bound to print it out and show it to her (happened before) But on the last trip I was told of two girls who had been paid 200,000 baht for one night. One I believe, the other not so sure about. No wonder some of them think we are all stupid-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Re the Uncertaity or the error I am hearing more and more rumours regarding redevelopment of the whole area so your investment could be worthless. As an aside there was some cheap bars for sale in Pattaya, why? well the whole area was going to be redeveloped. Not that any of the new owners knew this of course.

thai3 Posted October 10, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 It seems such rumours apply to many areas where there are bars- landmark building on NEP, Suk Square going to be a mall, clinton a hotel, etc etc. I heard Asoke plaza was good for another three years, but who knows-peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
