Guest Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 2 months renovation ? I'm not sure how much renovation you can do in a bar, but seats, lighting, painting, stage and a toilet upgrade must be somewhere near the maximum scope of it. If I was doing it myself, that should be a maximum of 2 weeks. If you spend any more than that, then you are unlikely to make it back. Quote
Guest Posted April 5, 2019 Posted April 5, 2019 Oh if only it was so easy?? First I financed and opened 2 Bars in Thailand and opened, owned and ran 3 Bars in the US. The Bars in Thailand were just regular bars with some simple food served and they were an investment in a young friend that failed. You would have thought I would have learned my lesson after the first but I did not . I remember how long it took to open Winner Bar in Sunee which is tiny compared to A Bomb and this was an experienced owner of Lady Bars in Pattaya. First you have to get the Bar License and then you have to get the Entertainment License . And yes in Pattaya unless the police chief owns the Bar , it will take time and you can never be completely sure in Thailand so you have to consider how much you want to spend until you have the various licenses. Construction in Thailand can be slow even for what seems like simple renovations. No chance you would ever complete ownership, get licenses , and renovate in 2 weeks. Zero chance! 2 months maybe. By that time the previous staff has likely taken jobs at other Bars so you will have to find mores boys to stock the Bar. I'm going to assume that the Bar we are talking about is A Bomb and if it is ,they were a Bar that tended to have more muscular boys. If they wanted to continue in this vein it will be harder to stock the Bar. 2 Months sounds optimistic , 2 weeks no chance . Since summer is certainly not the best time to open a Bar in Pattaya, I probably would not be in rush and would be trying to woo staff after the summer. Easy to open too soon and have all kinds of expenses with no customers. I had a number of chances to open a Gay Bar in Pattaya. I would rather shoot myself. HeHe! Quote

williewillie Posted April 14, 2019 Author Posted April 14, 2019 There’s a large sign outside A-Bomb bar. It reads A-Bomb on top, but alas the rest is in Thai. Quote

As far as I know, the Classrooms hotel sees customers entertain girls and boys from all sources. I think their girly bar once had a school theme but that may have changed. Obviously I am no expert, as the only time I go anywhere near their bar is to check into the hotel. Quote
colmx Posted April 27, 2019 Posted April 27, 2019 I met the manager of a-bomb (Pat) out and about over Songkran He says they have a new Japanese owner and plan to re-open around mid may, currently work is ongoing to remodel the bar (lower the stage, new toilet, new tiling etc) Vessey, vinapu and ggobkk 3 Quote
williewillie Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 The manager of Toy Boys is named Pat as well. He was the source of my updates.. maybe colmx meant Toy Boys and not A-bomb? Quote

I always thought that the manager in TB was called Puk (that's certainly his FB name) AFAIK The owner of TB is from Taiwan and can sometimes be seen on the terrace? Vessey 1 Quote
williewillie Posted May 24, 2019 Author Posted May 24, 2019 I passed by A-Bomb Boy Bar last night and construction work was ongoing. It was after 11pm, so it looks like there’s a push to get ready to open. Looking like a June opening. i stopped in Toy Boys for a drink and a gander and spoke with Pat, Put, Puk. He was fine with all the variations of his nicknames. The Taiwan owner died a few years back and his much younger Taiwanese bf took over and shared a residence with Pat. Quote
vinapu Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 We can only hope that ABomb will reopen as boy bar , not extension of girl bar on ground level of Classrooms hotel. Quote

williewillie Posted June 2, 2019 Author Posted June 2, 2019 Lots and lots of balloons last night for opening of A-Bomb Boys Bar. Construction crews finishing up earlier in the day. kokopelli and vinapu 2 Quote
williewillie Posted June 3, 2019 Author Posted June 3, 2019 We went in A-Bomb Boy Bar last night to check it out. The balloons were gone and no A-Bomb Boys sign yet. The stage was lowered, the drinks bar was moved near the entrance and the place looks great and new. Everyone very friendly and welcoming. They are staffing the bar currently and anticipate being fully staffed with boys within a week. vinapu and eurasian 2 Quote

williewillie Posted June 3, 2019 Author Posted June 3, 2019 Bar is open, serving drinks. Gogo boys were scarce last night and it will be a few more days until they have a full staff of available boys. Quote
williewillie Posted June 5, 2019 Author Posted June 5, 2019 I stopped by again last night after seeing the show at Xboys on the next soi. I saw the old mamasan/manager and spoke to him. He said there would be a show around midnight tonight (Wednesday June 5th). I asked if sexy show, he said yes. It’s late but I’ll possibly check it out. Hopefully it’s the first of many, as I enjoy the shows at the boy bars nearby. ggobkk 1 Quote
williewillie Posted June 7, 2019 Author Posted June 7, 2019 Three of us went to A-Bomb Boys last night before heading over to Boyzboyzboyz for 10:30 show. There were seven gogo boys fully dressed in jeans and an A-Bomb tee shirt. Drinks were 280b. each. Ligthing, sound, a/c all okay. Sexy boy show nightly at 11:50 pm. hanan and splinter1949 1 1 Quote
