TotallyOz Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Hi, Here we are again at the beginning of the High Season, when many people return to Thailand after work or staying in the home country. It is very nice to see everyone coming back for some sunshine, Thai culture and smiles, like the turning of the tide! The weather as usual is getting cooler although still sunny. In the next couple of days we have a possible rain storm coming from Vietnam, but as you know Pattaya /Jomtien has its own ideas about weather and the really naughty stuff is only allowed to circle around us and seldom impinges on the daily routines!! It can be seen marching across the bay hurling thunder and lightening about as if it was cheap, and then it dives off left or right, usually South, to the subjacent areas, who get wet. The recent period of mourning and cremation has successfully passed now, and it was a magnificent display of organisation and ceremony that was truly world class in its perfection . It embodied beautifully the feelings of the Thai people at this time, and was a stunning spectacle for us all to witness. Loy Krtathong also has just passed and it was conducted in a most peaceful and safe way, with hundreds of thousands of participants, casting their Krathongs onto the waters, thus ensuring happiness and prosperity for the future. Another success of vast scale ceremonial for Thailand which we are lucky to witness. For the inhabitants of Jomtien, things are looking up. There has been an upsurge of new restaurants and entertainment venues in the area, of a very high class indeed. We also are witnessing a time of massive construction of condos and hotels and beach roads so it seems sometimes that someone must know more about the future than we do! The Thepprasit Road area for one, now has at least three very large markets and two vast show and entertainment centres, and pop up restaurants everywhere. Hopefully they will all flourish. Needless to say that Christmas is nearly upon us, about six weeks away, and Yupins has been taking bookings since about July for our Christmas Menu. Here it is and there are still tables left on both days, CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY, so please let me know as soon as you can, if you would like to eat at Yupins!

Or call after six to be certain! An amazing thing happened on Wednesday, a technician turned up in the afternoon and installed a CREDIT CARD READER AND PAYMENT MACHINE!!! WOW, at last. I know they have worked hard for the last 3 months to arrive at this 'point d'appui' and I sincerely thank them for this effort. So now you have the facility to pay by credit card, if we can work out how to work the machine. He did tell us, but you know how it is. I am so excited about this. However, as with all things there are at least two drawbacks!! One is that the bank has told us to add 3% to all bills paid by credit card. Apparently it is the accepted method in Thailand to add 3%. I know this is not the case everywhere. Also, the other is we have a minimum amount of 500 baht on which to use credit cards. This kind of makes sense I suppose. We wait with bated breath to see what happens. Here is a photo of the sign they gave us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveboy Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I remember seeing the photos of Yupins Reastaurant before Scooby consolidated the thread, and all I saw were older Westerners happily enjoying the place. This seems uplifting but, why in BKK? One can find the same in any American city. And then it occurred to me: why is "go-go" always a bar? Why don't we have go-go restaurants? Imagine a restaurant that offers decent food, where the waiters are young boys in go-go attire with numbers on them who rotate around the tables, and can be "contacted" while they serve the food. The orders are taken by a mamasan maitre who also comes back at the time of desserts to take the order of boy/s for the guests. Off fees are included in the bill. Then the guests may enjoy some after dinner brandy while watching the show on some stage, waiting for the selected boy/s to dress back in street clothes to follow them to their destination.

You have a capital idea there, Stevie, and I strongly encourage you invest all of your savings in developing the concept. You can begin right there in your home town where I'm sure the concept of available "young boys in go-go attire" being ordered up like pork chops will be warmly received.

In my home town all you can do is to open a "hooters restaurant" with boys instead of girls, and this may be only after sodomy laws were repealed. BKK deserves something better, like what I have described. Unless you have found in the US a place you live that is as liberal as Thailand...

vinapu Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 for now I guess only workable solution for those lucky enough to be there is to have a Christmas dinner in Yupins and them move over to Jomtien Complex for boy dessert Moses 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moses Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I wish all the best to Yupin. buuut... it is great advertising without address of restaurant... is it so big secret? why spend efforts for advertising and don't put address (also GPS data) at visible place together with hidden in the middle of the text phone number?
