Dude, I'm no expert, but on paper it looks very viable.

LivinLos reckons it takes 10k a night in high season, which lasts at least 60 to 70 nights. The rent is 10k a month. So if you salt away every baht for 30 of those 60 nights, you've more or less got your operating costs covered for the entire year. That's a business!

No disrespect at all to LivinLos, and as I say I wouldn't know, but my only concern would be that he might be being a little optimistic about that 10k a night figure. I'd really want to see that proven before I committed. And I'd also want to know what it's like at the lowest season. Does it make anything at all? Does it actually run at a loss? Does it normally have to close down altogether?

Even if it does, there are things you can do to stimulate business in the dead months and make sure it's roaring in the good months.
