The Desolation of Chiang Mai 2009
By admin | September 6, 2009
The desolation of Chiang Mai at the beginning of September 2009
is quite big. Sometimes we think,
we´re living in a ghost town.
While we and our team started the Yum Boi Boi Project,
we´ve been very hopeful.
A lot of people enforced us and promised us their support,
but already at the opening party,
we could figure out what kind of support this people was speaking about.
Many of that loud-mouthed people not even showed up for the party.
Fair enough, the first weeks hasn´t been that bad.
We had figure out, that there is no sense to sell Thai salads (Yum)
or other food, we just had to throw away the fresh ingredients
or eat them by ourselves.
Soon the situation became more and more desolated.
At the beginning of August we had to release half of our staff,
there was just not enough money to even provide them with food.
But the situation got worse and more desolated.
At the beginning of September, we had to release manager Eak
and the remaining staff. Our chief craftsman Eak left Chiang Mai,
even he can´t found any job and his wife is pregnant.
Now there is just a very small group of Lisu hilltribe boys left,
which work with us on other projects.
They asked us to give it a try, just a little bit longer.
There are already people which want to take over the bar
and change it to a Santitham style Karaoke Bar.
How long we can resist their offers,
we honestly don´t know.
From now on until the beginning of October
Yum Boi Boi will be closed on Sundays and Mondays !
