I was only there twice but, as a short-order cook for almost 20 years, I think have a valid opinion.

The father/son/falang wife/thai girl friend combination of principals is three too many bosses.

The father guy was far too gushy and trying to please all the people all the time.  He quickly lost credibility with me.  While it's good to have ambition, business has to be based in reality.

Not in a good location.

Pricing wasn't accurate.  I bet a thousand baht they lost money on every item.  There was already half a dozen guys on here complaining about their high prices.

The menu was too extensive.  They should have concentrated on doing 4 or 5 things really well.  Corned beef - pastrami - rye bread - pickles - potato salad and STOP.   To add on pizza, pies, baked goods, desserts, etc. etc. is too much.

It could cost between 8 and 10,000 a day to maintain such a big menu.  You would have to have 20 customers a day spending 500 baht each TO BREAK EVEN.  Both times I was there, I was the only one in the joint for the entire hour.  While I did spend 500 baht, it was because I got stuff to go for lunch the next day.

So.....   delete the deli-zza.

"A recent study conducted by the National Coroners Information System (NCIS) in Australia has revealed three-hundred and twenty-one (321) closed case fatalities (and at least 39 case fatalities still under coronial investigation) that had been reported to Australian coroners where a person died from electrocution between July 2000 and October 2011."

Chill out guys.  This kind of thing happens everywhere.  360 deaths in super safe OZ with only 22 million people.  Thailand's population is three times that.  So a thousand deaths a year could be expected and Thailand would be no worse than Ozzie.

Try to remember that this market is only open on weekends when you are doing your big time calculations.

"A busy market position in a country town (not city), where you have to set up at the start of the day, and pack it up at the end of the day will cost you around 3,000 per month."

Right, but they get to sell every day.  

This is the Chatuchak Weekend market they are talking about.
