I'm sorry to hear about your friend, floridarob. It must be difficult for you to lose a friend quite suddenly like that and 57 is too young to go. May he rest in peace. 🕊 floridarob 1 Quote

Although, I should point-out that Captain was almost rolling his eyes when he said that. The original reopening date was the 26th of December; that got pushed to New Year's Day; then it got pushed to the 10th of January; and now it has been pushed to Jan 15th. The immediate assumption was that the supposed plan to reopen was just a face-saving measure, but I doubt that. As I shared in those pictures previously (and my friend shared video of the interior fit-out as well), they have done a lot of work on the interior of the building, which obviously cost money; not to mention the cost of actually renting the venue. I doubt they would have done all that if they were simply claiming that they intended to reopen as a face saving measure. After all, they weren't publicising it. My guess - and it is only a guess - is that they may be having difficulty recruiting staff. It is quite possible that the Atlas staff who moved to/moved back to Tawan are quite happy there now. After all, Tawan now has about 30 guys and with no competition from Atlas, is probably getting decent customer numbers. Not to mention that the staff moved there just in time for the Christmas/New Year/ White Party boom in visitors. The less experienced staff might well think that those are the kinds of numbers that Tawan regularly attracts and that it is the better option. Who knows though? As I said in my original post on the subject "I would not hold my breath for the new venue to open on schedule. Indeed, let's see if it actually come to pass." I shall update as I hear back. bkkmfj2648, vinapu, mauRICE and 1 other 3 1 Quote
