Chanpen Bar closing


Limey

Recommended Posts

We see no option but to close Chanpen Bar right away - not so much because things have been quiet (that was expected), but because there is a water supply problem that we could not have foreseen, but which will be too expensive to fix for the return to be expected from the business.

Fah and I want to thank everybody who gave us their custom - by all accounts many people enjoyed the food and laid-back atmosphere at Chanpen.

Basically the mains water supply is metered and supplied from next door, not on our premises, a fact that was (apparently) not even known to the owners of the building (!) when we signed up for the lease. Next door has been quietly using water that we pay for, and bills have now turned from high to horrific. Caveat emptor, but there was no way of knowing beforehand. Rectifying this would cost a lot of money and installation work for a new water connection - the landlord typically refuses to contribute a single Baht to ensure a basic infrastructure for the premises he rents out - and in view of this upheaval and expense, plus lack of confidence in bars as a paying proposition nowadays, we're calling it a day while our investment remains relatively painless.

Thank you for letting us know Limey

 

Always sad to see a bar close especially one that people have given +ve reports about. Good luck to Fah and yourself for the future.

stupid land lord. would cut off their nose to spite their own face. have seen this so many times. thais think very differently from westerns. is it not just a simple matter of putting a splitter and a second meeter on the water lead in pipe?

Anyone considering signing a lease here should read it very carefully. You may find a clause that basically states you must maintain the building as though you are the owner. You may also be obligated to pay any tax the landlord has come due. Building owners here only collect, they don't disburse. I wouldn't be surprised if the next tenant goes through exactly the same experience.

I would say absolutely guaranteed

Better to be daring and cool, than timid and uncool! Life's journey is not about arriving at your gravesite in a well preserved condition, but rather dropping into it in a long sideways skid, totally worn out, and shouting "Holy Shit...What a ride" - Indian Larry
