I think renting a bar in Soi Easy is a good way to make a small fortune out of a big fortune....
If you dont know the place and how it works, i think your chanse of being successfull is zero....

In the "good-old" days Soi Easy used to bee god..have many good memories from various bars there .But with with the layout they have now,many newcomers aren`t even aware of the existence of a soi there....same sorry faith as with Soi Gonzo,aka "Soi Where ?" !!

My mates just shut up shop and closed thier Soi Easy bar.. Even with a no key money deal it just wasnt worth fighting through to high season..

These were 2 guys one of which has been here 7 ish years running bars for 5 and one for 3 years.. Both very well known expats with a big client base of mates..

Soi easy used to be jumping.. I feel its just not a priority of the management currently.. Shame as some very fun times have been had there..

My tsunami girl worked there at chic-a-poo bar which closed soon after. The new owner, on te Soi Easy forum, said he didn't know where she went a couple of months ago. When I dropped by last week to say hello the bar was, once again, closed, so turn over, especuially in the back is quite high. Pity, because there are some seriously fun girls in there.

As far as I know Nicke & Co won't mind at all... Thanks to you Stevem and to you Wylos as well...

Same same here
When I was in Patong last April, it wasn't doing particularly well - in fact to tell you the truth the place was almost deserted
