We are pleased to announce the opening of our second Viking Bar. This is located in Choeng Mon area in Koh Samui.
Choeng Mon is a nice little quiet area. There are many 5-star hotels and resorts located here and there is a nice little bay.
One of the reasons we chose to open our second bar here is because we like Choeng Mon beach. So, when our house lease was up, we started looking for another place to shift. We found this block of 3 storey buildings that allows us to run a bar downstairs while we stay upstairs.
We signed up for the place in November 07 and things have been very hectic since then. Renovation was a nightmare. Everything needed to be built from scratch as the shop lot came empty. At the same time, we had fun planting our bamboo trees and creating the design for our bar.
Since we had the opportunity of having a small kitchen, we decided to provide some light meals in our Choeng Mon bar. But it will take us another month after opening before we can be ready for it.
We wanted to open on 15th January but the renovations were not completed and we have to delay. Finally we managed to open on the 23rd of January 2008.
Free BBQ and free house wine was provided to all customers on opening night. It was a great night and we were encouraged by the customers that dropped by. Most are local residents and a few were guests of nearby hotels.
