Xcite, finished or not?

[Cerberus]

Driving along third road I noticed this morning that the front of Xcite has been demolished. Are they expanding into the car park or is their lease up?

[leadpencil]

A Thai girl told me that it is going to be reopened shortly. I was having a look yesterday and they were cutting away the roof structure so to me it seems to be more than refurbishment. Shame if it is gone for good as I had some good nights out there.

Supposedly being made into a small shopping center. Maybe we will finally get Baht buses on 3rd road.

[Pattaya_Brian]

Didn't it burn recently?

[Bob4you]

I believe there was a small fire during remodeling but not the cause of the remodeling.

[Xylanic]

A sign in Thai said it was being remodeled but it'd been there for months.

[pogo]

I was told recently that it is being turned into a Tesco Lotus.

Mmmm, every board has its specific wishes in what it should be......this board has them all: a new Xzyte, Tesco Lotus, shopping mall, a Song-Taew car park............

If they are clever (ok,ok........) they make it a huge car park, parking per day THB 30 including a free shuttle service to Beach Road.

How does the shuttle service know about how many people and if they didn't use the ticket?

Stamp after a one-way drive: "Beach" and upon return....."Back"

Upon issuing the ticket, write down the number of passengers.

 

Easier way: parking ticket is THB 20 for one day.

Song taews will have a "bus"-station near the exit of the car park.

I like your idea.

I think remodeling is thai code for bankrupt

[Cerberus]

Must be some remodeling, when I passed this morning apart rom the front facing onto third road the rest of the building was demolished right down to the steel framing.

[PH Lodge]

Its been shut down for months now, perhaps new owners are either building a new club or a shopping mall.

 

Shopping mall would actually sound like a smart idea, given the space, location and car park availability.

 

Also not a bad location for Tesco for to have a store, since all their stores currently are rather out of city center.

[pogo]

speaking to a thai friend last night about this, she has been told that it'll be a Tukcom, although she would rather it be a Tesco, because it would bring more business to her massage shop,

 

 

I don't think anybody really knows, just a case of wait and see i guess.

[Nicky1982]

Fair too many shopping places here in Pattaya .. Bar complex would be good like orchard towers in singapore maybe ..

[Wolf Cat]

What is it about nightclubs on 3rd road not lasting more than a few years?

 

Remember the club called 999 (not far from Xcite) that burned down and is now a massage center for Chinese & Korean tourist?

Or the open bar between the Castle and Pattaya Tai/South Road that's now closed.

Or the Boy karaoke bar (Pretty Boy?) that opened for a year or so and now closed.

Or the Thai country bar called Ta-wa-dang on 3rd road near Carrefour/Big C extra now closed.

And now Xcite is closed.

 

If I ever think of opening a bar on 3rd road someone please take a baseball bat to my head.
