Most pub there is lose money business,supply is way more than demand,one whole plantoon of girls with hardly not more than 10 customer walk in for some pub,frequenly change hand with owner trying to cash out due to daily bleeding,not only pub,eatery cater for foreigner business also cannot last,cheap rental and cheap labour but barely can survive and don't talk about profit
Happen to talk to 2 local before,one run a pub at riverside area but pub close for renovation and another new owner take over 3 months after I chat with him,another one takeover a eatery with guesthouse on top,good review at tripadvisor but also now looking for people take over
