Hello and Goodbye.....

right: cutting of special cake for saying goodbye to our longtime customer Joel, and Arno, to the left of Joel, who leaves today for Berlin, Germany, with staff of J&B.... Rob, making picture and Kik, working at Simon Cabaret, ofcourse not visible, hehe

Well, thats what allways seem to be the situation when one has a bar in a tourist area like Patong Beach.
You allways welcome new arrivals with a smile and hope that your attitude, service, and being a good host, make them come back or even choose you as their starting point for whatever activities on whatever moment of the day!
If that happens, and a customer then also stays a real long time, well, then saying goodbye at the end of his stay is extra difficult.

Every time when we have to let go of good, pleasant and regular customers, who we enjoyed having, its holding ones hart because one feels the place won't be the same afterwards and one wonders if the atmosphere which had been created over the past week(s), can ben kept or even improved on.

Hence why every time such a special customer leaves we all wonder if and how we will go forward from there.... specialy me, and even more specially if its a fellow countryman.

last night we had such a farewell, and our regular customers know that when they left they received, at least those with whom we got the chance to, haha, a picture taken of them in our bar in whatever setting.
Thats a little sign of appreciation we try to make since we changed the system of the bar early december. We can only hope its as much fun for our guests to receive it as it is for us making and giving it!

But okay, since allmost the start of the 'new' J&B early december Joel, the dutch guy, and those who read this and visited our bar these last months, know whom I talk about here, had to leave us to go back to The Netherlands. All good things come to an end.
I can only express my gratitude towards Joel, because except that he was a good customer, that he voluntarily got many people to sit down in that of the beaten track located little (red)bar in the gay quarter of Patong Beach, Paradise Comple, he also offered and made our present website www.jbbarphuket.tk !! Ofcourse, he on his part appologised that the website was very simpel etc (blablabla) becaus ehe had only his simpel laptop with him with few to no special programs..... well, that might be the case, we were simply very happy because it was a very stimulating gift which also gave us a more independent feeling and maybe also attitude towards others, mainly the businesses around us....... and we seem to be the only gaybar here who has now his own website............mmmm, possibilities??? who knows... lets see, first everybody must find his or her way to our website and preferably the bar itself, O and who knows they also will read, one day, this little entry ;-)

Well... as you see, in more then one way a special customer and therefor by exception, this little piece about "hello" and "goodbye"

Gay Bingo Straight at J&B's

Two of our Dutch customers, Theo and Toine battling it out (picture)

The thai version of Bingo was again the focus of our attention this week, and we used it also to introduce again our naughty coffees t our customers. We keep on making promotion for our coffee and tea menu to try to get it into the minds of our visitors here that they can get good, decent coffee in a gay bar in Paradise complex!
The Gay Bingo tournament was less succesfull as the first one in December, BUT we were still happy and enjoyed fun and exciting bingo games like those between the two Dutch guys in the picture.

But allready were are thinking about our first ful evening event, the birthday of the Queen of The Netherlands saterday the 32st of January!

This comming friday, in Thai language ;-) !!

J&B's program for the remainder of January!

Left: The first winner of our Gay BIngo Tournament, in december 2008. The only woman taking part beat all her gay contestants, with her clever play and her charm!

After our reasonable succesful Coffee & Tea Party on the 16th, we can now present our program for the remainder of January 2009:

Friday the 23d of January:
Gay 'Bingo Straight' Tournament, starting 6.30 pm till around 8.30 pm. This Thai Bingo is also known as 4 in a row! Become Mr Gay Bingo January 2009! You can enroll by e-mail or at the bar, at any time up till we start!!
A free Naughty Coffee for all who take part in our Bingo Tournament!!

Saterday (!!) the 31st of January:
Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands Birthday Party. Come toast iwth us on the health of the Queen of The Netherlands, with typical Dutch snacks. Starting 6 pm till latest 9 pm!
And join us in our Orange Party and take part in our Queen Beatrix look-a-like contest, from midnight till latest 2 am! Take part and become elected as the Orange Queen of 2009!
Free interpretation of the Dutch Queen is allowed ofcourse ;-)

Coffee & Tea party at J&B's and intro of new pricelist and menu

Well, thats the plan!
We will try to launch our new Lounging Area 'officially' TODAY with a real coffee & tea party between 6 and 9 pm! Also introducing then our new coffee making machine which produces much better coffee, I can guarantee that, then the previous one ;-)
Ofocurse we will serve our coffee/tea with cookies and chocolats and ofcourse our customers can order the 'one time only' cocktail of J&B's, the strong variation of a more well known cocktail. But if you are nearby, drop in and find out, I would say ;-)
Also we will be introducing the new price list of J&B's next to our brand new coffee and tea menu!
This last one shows a whole range of naughty coffees, as I like them for one, haha. Coffee with wiskeys, liqueurs, et. and the possibilities to create your own special naughty coffee ofcourse!

The general price list has not changed that much though, e view prices had to go up, and a view simply had to come down, at least in my opinion, so all in all its more balanced... but is it perfect: Ofcourse not, who's is??

Hope to hear/read you soon!

1st of January, a late short report ;-)

The first day of the new year started with being sleeping longtime because of the late New Years Eve we all had.
Kik works at Simon Cabaret, aand regularly people for Simon also come to our bar, to relax and unwind after a hard day/evening of work.
Last year Kik and I joined the Simon people in their traditional round to all the larger cabaret/go-go bars here in Patong, and as the then only farang it was special to experience this special tradition by Phukets most famous and one of Thailands best cabaret theater companies! Every bar visited received a special gift from Simon Cabaret for the new year.

This year Kik and I were not invited, everything went different compared with the previous years....... now a large group, not all like last year, of Simons went very quick to all the bars to present them with Simons new year gift of 2009.
BUT this time they came to our bar last, and the first time they as such a visit to J&B Bar.
We were honored and happy with their visit and were very happy to receive their new year gift!

Specially for Kik it felt weird, to receive his bosses and collegues he had worked with as usual earlier in the evening, in our bar in his capacity as co-owner of J&B together with me.
We were invited same time to join the Simon Cabaret NY party at Galaxy Disco elsewhere in Patong after the closing of our bar.
And so another late night followed for Kik and me, but again a happy one!

Our new website!!!

J&B Bar has launched, in close cooperation with Joel from Holland, to whom many thanks for making our , hopefully informative website! The adres of the website : www.jbbarphuket.tk !!!
We also have our own e-mailadres as well: jbbarphuket@gmail.com !

Feel free to comment, and any suggestions are most welcome... everything to improve ourselves, on the web or with the J&B Bar itself, are most welcome!!

Take good care guys, and hope to see you (again) one day!!

The launching off J&B's weblog connected to our website!!

Yep, well... maybe we just start this weblog just to avoid keeping writing newsletters.
We, or should I say I, are going to do our best to enter as regular as is possible!

Also because for the time being I have been told our website will be rather static, so it was regarded best to simply start a weblog connected to our website and via this weblog keep everybody up to date!

Ofcourse we could have created an highly advanced website, but such things not only cost money and time, but also needs the knowledge to work on it (or do they say moderate?)..... something which is not easily learned by me and some would say a total waste of time, haha.
The website, though as simple as it may be, was a gift from our customer Joel from Holland, who appologises every time that the website is as simple as it is, but then he had only his 'simple' laptop with him with only his 'simple' programming software....... well that may be, for me it al looked highly advanced, but then I am a computer illiterate, haha
And so we came to use a weblog, because I allready try to keep two weblogs here, so a third would be okay and easy enough... for me that is ;-)

On this weblog I will enter the latest news from in and around J&B's, in sometimes quick, short messages, sometimes longer (so you might think I'm writing a novel), also I'll do my best to add pictures in those weblog entries.

Also I will make announcements of latest planned activities, as well as ofcourse making reports how those activities went ;-)

I hope all readers will feel free to comment when they feel comments comming up, and as all our guests at J&B found out allready, we enjoy constructive critizism, because it will only help us to improve the functioning of our bar as a (purple) meeting point for the gay men and women of Phuket, here on holliday or permanently.

Same time you get the chance to peep in Rob's two other weblogs connected to this one, simply because thats how I started this J&B Bars weblog, haha... so have fun with reading and maybe even commenting!

And ofcourse we at J&B hope to meet all your readers one day again or for the first time!!

Take very good care,
stay safe and sane
and se you one day in Patong (again!)

Rob
