Greetings All

[LBJ]

I'm new to your forums but not new to Pattaya. My first visit was in 1986 and I lived and lost money in Pattaya from 1989 to 1991 with the short-lived bar called LBJ's Pool Hall.

 

I made my first visit to Pattaya since 1994 last year in June and I think I enjoyed it more than ever. I am single again after nine years of marriage and I plan on making yearly trips to Pattaya in April and October starting this year.

 

Looking forward to getting to know the fellow members and hopefully meeting in Pattaya in the future.

Hi there. I just joined tonight too, though maybe it's only afternoon where you are. Sorry to hear about you losing money in Pattaya, but good to know it hasn't put you off Thailand. Where was the LBJ Bar?

[LBJ]

Hello Eric,

 

LBJ's Pool Hall in 1989 was located on South Pattaya Road near Soi Bongkot. Thats about halfway between Sukhumvit and Beach Road. In 1989 that location sucked but today it would be sweet....maybe.

Hi, LBJ. Yes, I think I know that area, and it seems pretty good now. Pity things didn't work out for you, but at least you had a go at it, unlike untold thousands of us who will only ever dream of owning our own business there.  I bet you've got some great stories from those days too. Now you're footloose and fancy-free, a little older and a little wiser, do you think you could ever be tempted to try again?

Not a chance. If I had the same amount of money as I lost before, I would buy a house for in Pattaya for the retirement years. It's recreation only from now on. Should have bought that house in 1989!

LBJ, sorry to hear of your bad luck. I've lost money occasionally in ventures and know exactly how you feel.

 

I hope things are good for you now.

 

Regards

Thanks Tabmule. Things aren't exactly like I'd like them (but then when are they) But it's not bad. I got rid of the gambling addicted wife and am at least making some headway. Good enough to take a couple of three week trips to Pattaya every year if things continue as they are now.
