BUILD A BAR CHALLENGE - PATTAYA - Part 11

[@geofferyrobertson6608]

you give a good insight , not only your bars but the whole area ... Top Notch. , keep up the great work Dave

[@divebar6052]

Thanks Geoffrey, i will keep doing the walkrtounds, seems alot of guys are enjoying seeing what things look like now

[@martinmiddlesaxon]

Interesting vlog and nicely presented.

[@divebar6052]

Thank you Martin

[@cyclonicleo]

Nice one Dean! Lots to come and well done for persisting with it.

[@divebar6052]

Thanks cyclon, things should start speeding up now.

[@michaelmorgan3415]

For a single unit bar this place sets records for time, aggravation and money spent. I applaud your ability to keep from completely losing your shit over the water issues and the contractor's haphazard approach to the project. I hope you can get up and running by high season. Good luck Dean, btw I like the walk abouts at the end of the vids.

[@divebar6052]

Thanks Michael, i think the only reason im not going mad is because the dive bar keeps me busy!

[@travelsolo2677]

You cannot lose your shit in Thailand. They have strict laws and losing face will cost you, possibly jail time….

[@johnlaseter2453]

Good video Dean. I like the tiles. It's definitely coming together. Been wondering how you made out with all the rain. Between that damned moat out back and the place next door... Just SMH. Thank you for making the time and sharing the video.

[@divebar6052]

Cheers John, and thanks for watching, the builder has a plan of how to tackle the moat, i will be sure to include that in the next video. The good news is that our end of the soi does not suffer too much from flooding as we are on slightly higher ground, lots of bars at the other end have been flooded out.

[@johnlaseter2453]

@@divebar6052 That's good to hear Dean. I feel bad for the bars that flooded. Looking forward to seeing what the builder has planned. Have a great evening.

Great clip Dean indeed says it as it is looking good the build see u Friday for the NRL try and save my seat if possible will be there at 430pm.

[@keef6586]

Nice one Dean, top man. You have the patience of a saint..Hopefully the end is in sight and you reap the rewards for all your efforts. Flight wise, I’m returning in November and got a flight with EVA from London for £700 which ain’t much more than pre covid so fingers crossed numbers will be increasing

[@divebar6052]

Hi Keef, that is brilliant news about flights in November, I will spread the word, flights are the last big hurdle to jump over before Pattaya gets back to normal

[@keef6586]

@@divebar6052 yeah you have to shop around cos the main players like emirates, Qatar and Etihad are still silly money but the deal I got was on EVA website so my advice is plan and book asap.

[@divebar6052]

@@keef6586 im also hoping alot more direct routes open up again soon.

Nice work sir. Dive Bar will be my go to for the 6 nights i spend in Pattaya. Hope quality of girls doesnt drop when the Vault opens. Cheers

[@divebar6052]

some of the girls will go to the vault, but i am in the process of finding a second manasun for the dive bar who can bring some new girls. I will also let girls move from bar to bar if they want to.

[@gordon3063]

sorry I missed you at the Bat n Ball years ago, I was in Patts in July but I have a uni educated thai girl who cant drink and hates 'bars' but I managed an afternoon in Nicks bar, back in December and aiming for Dive Bar and Tri angle Bar

[@divebar6052]

Hi Gordon, i understand alot of girls will not come to bars, but i hope we can catch up in December

[@aussie2478]

Hi Dean, Bar coming along nicely. Must be frustrating with the water issue. Hopefully builders pick up speed without mistakes and get it finished soon for you. Look forward to catching up very soon. Take care.

[@divebar6052]

Thanks Guy, it is frustrating, builders seem happy to just do temporary fixes for leaks, but i will be making sure they get it right

[@wd1721]

Great video Dean, hopefully all will be in good order by the time I get back in March and can reconnect. I agree with the comments about you having the patience of a saint.

[@divebar6052]

Thank you, i think in March after the high season has finished will be the time when we really find out if Pattaya will fully bounce back.

Great video as always! I can DJ for you Saturday nights! 😅😅 Seen the videos of like soi MIT flooded Omb.. never fun. Bar is coming along nicely. See you soon.

[@divebar6052]

Thanks Kevin, we are lucky as we are on higher ground, many bars were flooded out, they must be fed up with it

[@ThaiThyme67]

What happened to the chicken? 555 progress is looking good I'm sure you have been around long enough to expect set backs.

[@divebar6052]

Hi Matt, 555, the chicken vanished! yes, i do expect more setbacks, hopefully not too many!

Seems to be taking an age, you have the patience of a Saint Dean, I look forward to visiting when I'm over in Jan 👍

Hi Paul, it is dragging on, its the lack of workers, but i will keep on pressing the builders to hurry up!

Could you do more vlogs walk & talk show us around the city buddy

Hi Billy, i will do

[@AndrewTheQuietOne]

I'd really like to visit your new place when I get back there 1st November - so I hope you finish and open by then (wait for me if you want :). Good luck but it does sometimes feel like 2 steps forward, one backwards.

[@divebar6052]

Hi Andrew, yes that exactly what it feels like at the moment! 99 % sure i will be open before november

[@travelsolo2677]

Haha I saw myself in this video near 711. Pattaya is definitely not expensive for food,accommodation or drinks. You just walk away if expensive. Cheap food options everywhere and I was in Scarlets Bar and beers 60b all night.

[@divebar6052]

yes, there are so many good deals around at the moment, especiallyon rooms and hotels.

October 1st is coming around quickly, don’t think you’re going to make the opening by then, oh well, I’ll have to come see your new bar next time 👍

[@divebar6052]

From your experience which are the best 99 baht breakfast

[@divebar6052]

I think cheap charlies is the most popular, my favouirites are Witherspoons and Kilkenny because they offer brown bread for toast, both are alittle over 99 bt. Kungs is great too, again, a little more expensive but quality ingredients
