In a good year, more than four million people of Phuket in Thailand. Many of these visitors love. Some love it so much they want to live here.

Each year, thousands of people come to Phuket in the hope of creating a new life on a tropical island. Many of them have to earn money and quickly find the job opportunities for foreigners are very limited. So, what are their options? Now, one of the best ways to invest in your company. AndWhat is the easiest way to get into the business? Owning a bar.

For many people this sounds like a dream. A life on a tropical island, the days on the beach and the night before the bar. But the reality match the dream?

It's something I do when I thought arrived in Phuket. I checked the options, with real estate agents, bar owners or bar girl talk. Finally I decided that not only useful.

I went to Phuket and naive to expect that many pitfallsBar owners, but even then I could see, there are so many problems with the ownership of a bar in Phuket. At the start, "bar owner" is misleading, since it almost certain that the rent and probably the most difficult conditions.

It is hard for a decent life out of a bar and, in fact no longer lead within the first two years. Even if the bar does not make money, the state of employment likely to be illegal. The laws in Thailand are stacked against foreigners in possession of a small company.

Ifall these things that worried me were not my biggest concern. The biggest factor in turning me into possession of a bar was the lifestyle. I know, while some owners of bars and when I look at her life, I knew it was not for me. There is only one life to crap.

Do not get me wrong. I love the night on the beer. Even more nights on the beer. But they have to do that every night at the bar as a place of work? And "soon lose its charm, not to the obvious health problems, mention the walk with themLifestyle.

As I leave the decision to bar submitted to an independent company, it was not for a second when I looked back and regretted it. I know that many owners of bars and many friends, but I'm not jealous of her life. Recently, the premature death of one of these friends have gone home, which really for me.

It was still 50th Was the owner of a bar in a DI (lanes) off Soi Bangla in Patong. It's a good guy, accommodation and easy to talk. Although Inever seen more than once a week, we always have a good chat and he was one of my favorite bar owner.

Last year had some health problems. He was several times in the hospital and the advice of doctors is simple and clear - stop drinking!

The problem is that it is very difficult to stop drinking if you own a bar, the two things that drive customers to order these children are girls and the bar owner. And girls often do not work very well whenThe owner is not there.

Regular customers like a conversation with the owner. Often, if the owner is not there, the easy to move, the bar nearby. Easy to work these barriers, the owner there, most of the time.

Could not my friend has been drinking soft drinks? Well, it was so for a few days, but boredom is for him. She spent the evening you can sit your bar, bar bombarded with loud music, that these complexes seem to think is a good atmosphere to drink. ForA large part of the evening, you can not have any customers, but you must in this case. You can watch TV, but you can not hear. Your company is only the bar girls who are probably annoying leisure or a free drink.

And when guests come, they want to get drunk and want to get drunk with them. Of course it is true for customers. If you are on vacation, they do it for two weeks before returning to their normal lives. The owner of a barIs night after night, year after year.

They offered to buy drinks and that is to accept a bad deal. If you get discipline and stay sober, then the night is unbearable. Drunks are funny when you're not drunk. If you are sober, there is nothing worse than trying to laugh at their stupid ramblings.

Thus, despite the warnings of the doctor, my friend drunk early. So goes with the territory, possession of a bar, drank alot.

He has taken all my friends. He had a serious motorcycle accident. He has never driven drunk, but accidents in motion just arrived here. He left the hospital too quickly, even ignoring seek medical advice. The next meeting was drinking too much for a body that was tired. " He died in his sleep.

The crazy thing is that he does not even need the cash. He had worked hard in his homeland and was able to retire. I and other friends tried to convince them. losing The problem is that it is one of the owners of the bar, some people have made a good profit and it was difficult to get out was a good thing. Finally, it was too good to be a bar owner for his own good.

The strange thing is, most people who came to buy the bar to Phuket for a better life. You want to live in a tropical paradise. Phuket is the house of their own dreams, a bar is the way to finance their life here. The problem is the owner of a bar ruleto enjoy the island.

Most bar owners, afternoon wake, half with a hangover. The lounge in the apartment around to shake the financial headaches, until it's time to go into the bar and return to work. They could not everywhere. Phuket's beaches, islands and other tourist attractions are not related to bar owners, because they see problems.

I know a few bar owners who did not even know there is a tsunami until the evening when she went to work. Ianother who does not know, had not seen for three years after the Bay of Phang Nga Phuket, Phi Phi Islands, Nai Yang Beach, Nai Harn Beach, in fact, more than anywhere, a few miles from Patong.

I will not necessarily bar next to the prospective owner. I would only open our eyes, the kind of life that will be negotiated. I think for the right kind of character under the right circumstances, it is a good choice. When you're young, you can handle this lifestyle much better. I know that if I was in myTwenty I have a lot of drinking and was always able to shake ready for the next meeting. Such as age, diminish your powers of recovery.

For the search apart after a few years and is ready, a start and, owning a bar in Phuket is a decent choice. If you are the kind of discipline, the bar where you go and talk to people without drunk every night, so that it can be for you. But as a long-term source of income - for most people, this issimply not worth the sacrifice.

Another friend decided on the cafe owner to sell after a few years. He was a young man and his bar was a life out of him. The problem is that he arrived at the stage where he hated his bar. He hated to go on the same night after night, he was sick and tired of dealing with bargirls and their petty squabbles, and he was the shit feeling tired all the time.

So he sold and came away with a little help from Nice. Only afterThe bar has sold has discovered why she felt shit all the time. It was not just a headache, they are concealing the real problem. She had leukemia.

I do not have a bar, the cause of his leukemia, but not certainly help to work around his body with her. What he has done in a state of mind to bring, where he thought it was normal to feel bad for the whole time and he agreed. Luckily, he was released at the time diagnosed and he returned home, where hesuccessfully treated.

Now everything is clear, and hopes to one day return to Thailand. For now, check its policy forbids it. He said that now recognizes his time in Phuket and that it was in a groove. He has enough money to live, but could not save anything. His life revolved around going to bars every night, it was not only to do things that attracted him to Thailand in the first place. He would never return to the Bar BusinessPatong.

Therefore, as a reminder. If you think a bar owner in Patong, what can you expect? Well, most nights you spend sitting at your bar waiting customers and listening to terrible music at high volume. One can hardly interesting. They deal with the hustle and bustle of the bar girls. You can choose to spend your evenings sober and bored or drunk and happy.

Suppose you go to the drunk and happy (most of the bar owners), you end. pay I do not know a single bar owner who looks like a picture of health. It is a demanding life, and if you have taken the long term you're probably a few years to life expectancy.

You could be the attitude that work is still shit. Is your shit in my own country, so you might as well be crap in Phuket. So fair enough, until you in the business bar with open eyes and not with a rose-color vision to go during the day near the beach and nights of the festival.
