The FCC has been closed for years now. The building opposite used to have some okay bars with big balconies and nice views. Unfortunately they put glass all around them, and the music they play is painful. It's not really a good location anymore. The expected influx of tourists hasn't really materialized and that area is struggling. All part of a much larger plan. The Chinese shop houses that make up most of the riverside are not big enough to capitalize on, so the way I see it it will gradually be replaced by larger and more profitable high rise blocks. Time is on the tycoon's side, they don't need scruffy backpackers.

I still cant remember one bussiness really made money in PP runned by a barang and serving drink and/or food. Maybe with Covid more people realise that they are filling a bothemless hole. As long a the rents stay like that, i will be sitting on the "good side" from the bar. But of course, 99% of the guys who are going bankrupt on these kind of bussiness wont tell it !!
