Opening our shop in Jomtien

Well life with Noi was very good but at some point we needed to have our own little shop, so we went on a hunt for finding a well located commercial venue.. We've found one ideally located right in front of Jomtien Beach, soi 5..

We rented the local, worked on paint and furniture and getting contacts with wholesalers. Noi had good contacts with a thai business man in Bangkok and that worked for a while, then he moved on another part of Thailand..

But by now things were going well, the touristic season here is so intense that it's easy to sell when you have a shop in front of the beach. We sold stuff for the beach, the usual stuff really, not even branded with Pattaya/Jomtien. It sold like hot bread..

Well, all was good until the owner of the shop decided he wanted to sell to someone and didn't want us here anymore.. In thailand they can.. You have nothing to protect you agains the will of the owner with contacts with high rank policemen.. We tried, but it was vain..

Back to nothing, only 2 years after..
