That’s my prediction for 2023 low season in Phuket. Let us know what you think ? either way we will be ready to smash high season this time around 👊 Have a great wknd ✌️R&M
Great to see you guys again and fantastic news that expansion is on the cards . Always great to see you both ..Good luck with all your plans...lee In uk 🇬🇧
Planning my next visit and it's cheaper to fly to Kuala Lumpa and from there to Phuket than to fly into Bangkok and then down to Phucket. Over £200 saving. Thats from the UK.
Good luck for the low season your going to need it flight and hotel available hight but with high prices what do you expect plus Thailand can't compete with Europe some stunning countries like Greece and Turkey still cheap great value for money Thailand low season I think have priced themselves out
Great to catch up with TH-cam royalty today at Maybelles Coffee House. Best coffee we’ve had since starting our trip a month ago in Thailand. Hope to see you guys again soon. Rob n Shaz.
I think you two are resourseful enough to get through just about anything that life throws at you. I'm looking forward to breakfast at Maybelle's next time I am in Phuket.
I’m glad this was a good season for you two ! Was a big high point in my trip last November meeting you both :) See you and your new expansion soon next Year ✌️
Great Vlog as always mate. I wish you guys all the best. My partner & I arrive in Phuket July 14. Been told it’s Low season & raining lots. It’s not gunna worry us. Can’t wait 👍 Take care Cheers 😊🇦🇺👍
Great way to start your day. Gorgeous beach. Thinking of the Polish lady's family. Lovely new sign. Excited for the expansion and new things to come for you both. Good to see Sean. Love his channel. He sleeps well with the help of nature's delights.😁 Lovely, you keep the staff happy. Good vibes. The new dishes looked good. Prices everywhere are madness, especially food. Good Luck with moving. Have a great week.
I'm a successful business owner and I can tell you it's much easier to have a few more staff than you have now, which means your expansion plans should reduce your stress a little when it comes to staff turnover. You'll always have that. One goal with expansion is to cross-train and preserve a more stable work flow. The challenge is to prevent yourself from paying everyone but you. Look for ways to offer benefits that tie in with the business strengths, without breaking the budget. Be creative and ask staff what matters to them.
Very nice video Richie and Maybelle. I was like hanging out with you for the day and quite enjoyable. Very glad you saw a big turn around this year. I know in Chiang Mai and Bangkok it was busy while I was there for a few months. Much busier than last year that's for sure. Still some scars from the covid era but also many signs of healing and recovery. For the first time I spent some time in Pataya as well in March. Crazy place but really fun and very affordable. I only got to Phuket for a few days and met up with some friends there. I stayed at the new hotel Meta. Quite a place! I'll be back in December for three or four months and will be sure to come by and sample some of those new dishes! All the best to you both and best of luck with the very exciting plans for expansion!
Expansion sounds very exciting. I can’t wait to come back to visit….will be in January next year after spending xmas in CM. An Airbnb sounds fab. Of course people will be excited to stay at Richie and Maybelles overlooking the coffee garden. What a great idea x x
Hey Richie glad to see things are going good. I made my way back to Phuket and was at the garden on Startday afternoon. Not busy but happy for the good food and drink :) I'll be back again for sure.
I have booked flight tickets... flying in August 16 return aug 31 2023. Phuket seems rightly balanced....it has little bit of everything.... city buildings like Bangkok, beach like koh Samui.... mountain like North Thailand..nightlife like Pattaya....
great vlog again richie we back in feb 24 for 4 weeks so see you then keep up more vloge get that wine in slae big case to make new food looks great chalky cider Worcestershire
Yes our flights nearly doubled this past winter. We actually stopped by your place on our way to the beach but we didn’t have time to stay for a coffee. Spoke with Maybelle for a few minutes and told her we’d be back one day for lunch. Our time flew by and never made it back. We’ll be back again next winter and definitely will come by again and have lunch. The rainbow salad with grilled salmon looks delicious. Good luck with the Reno’s! 😊
Was a pleasure meeting you both wishing you all the best with the expansion plans. Will come by for a beer or 2 when I’m in town again. Until then cheers to you both.
Been a regular to Phuket for 8 years and just got back for the last time. Huge numbers of Russians and Indians and just not the same as pre Covid. Many many better places to visit now and Phuket no longer the value for money place it once was. Everything changes and as an Australian it was brilliant while it lasted. Good luck guys - I’m sure the Ruskies, Indians and Chinese will keep you more than busy.
It’s already calming down and I think will level out. The pandemic surge after opening up definitely had the effect your talking about. I will always go back to Phuket.
@@coryjackson3131 I think there will be another wave of tourists to come though with China only just opening up. Time will tell. Good for you continuing to go back - many fond memories but looking forward to travelling elsewhere now too.
Hi,Ritchie and,Maybelle. Glad you both were not hurt having experienced a drunked on a motorbike having run into you.The future plans for your expansion sounds great,im sure it will make a big difference to your cafe restaurant.The new menu looks very nice,could of ate those dishes you showed us. Hopefully later this year im coming to visit my wife, whom lives in Patong,we will both deffinately come and,see you both.Thanks for another good video,take care see you both in the next one. Sawadee kap.😊👍👍🙏🙏
sign is kinda plain, how bout wrapping around it with those hot pink blossoms on the tree at the shop? maybe a big ass coffee cup on top of it. Easy to spot without passing it :)
Hello Maybelle & Richie! Greetings from San Francisco….watching this video makes my husband & I totally miss Phuket!!!! This is an awesome video & we wish you all the best for expanding the cafe! We hope to see you both again sometime in the future 😉 Best wishes & good luck to you both 😘 love, Marietta & Colin
Hi Richie and Maybelle 😊 Glad to hear u were not hurt during accident. I am sure with all the pot smoking driving is more fun than ever! It was bad enough with just booze. Great to hear about the extension! Suggest you include some mellow music at night live or sound system. Also if Maybelle is okay with it, hire a bunch of cute waitresses and bar tender for the bigger bar 😅 thanks for the video, I hope to be moving there by this time next year. U guys take care. Jeffrey Las Vegas
That's great, like I said, take advantage of what you have where your at, maybe one day you and maybelle own all the properties around your coffee garden, air bnb, bed and breakfast, tropical bar in paradise, lol, you can do it!
Draught Guinness in Ao Nang, Krabi, worked out at almost £7 a pint, 380 baht on special offer! We had a few and called it a day, large Chang 130 baht, huge difference, that was last week.
@@terry4801 i have been corrected by my other half, he says it was 290 baht on special offer, anyways there were 5 of us and we all had a couple each, some a few more, we enjoyed them, but didnt go back for more for the rest of the holiday!
Just a random thought Richie, crispy chilli squid. Squid dredged in flour, fried, with chopped chillies and garlic drizzled over. Squid is cheap, easy and quick to prepare, quick to cook, and commands a reasonable price too. Here in the UK it is in the region of £6.50 to £7.50 per portion on a take away menu, more in a restaurant.
@@SeanHendy Exavtlaayyyyyy💪 ima chef so i kno n ur a business man so u can see the numbers👌🤣 and anything made w flour, water, sugar so cheap! A French pastry chef said make yr wealth w flour sugar n water lol
Will pop over again soon, good to see your business doing well and putting all those trolls who berated you in their place, it shows whatever the problem if you work hard enough you will succeed. Been fishing just up road from you at Chalong fishing park and you should try it, great day out.
I have seen school teachers here with a line of children behind them all walking with their backs to traffic. They have not fully adapted to the wheel here.
Nice vid guys...dang that was a lot of durian. 🤣 Best of luck with your expansion plans, and even maybe a tad of downtime....although if Madam Richie is right with the predictions 🔮
I’ve just been travelling through Thailand for 3 months. Not want to be negative but the Russian invasion into Phuket has turned me off this beautiful island. I guess it’s great for business but long term it will do damage. Be careful expanding. I won’t be back.
Greetings R & M, it's always good to see and hear your continued success (s). It would seem your living my life 😂. The day i'm sitting in Maybelles coffee garden, enjoying your finest cooked breakfast, chat & that glorious Thai weather, i'll know i've made it big (really f. Unking big 😅).. hey, this time next year Rodders 😎... Ps. Ritchie you've got to be the only westerner, that gets whiter, living in a hotter country 🙈..! Good luck to you both as always, & with everything you do. Remember..... never stop being R & M.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the car accident But what will happen to the damage now who is going to pay for the damage the insurance Or the foreigner Can you tell us that
How long to you have stay out of Thailand before you can visit as tourist for another free 30 days without a visa??? I'd like to hop from country to country like Thailand for 30 days, Vietnam for 30 days, Cambodia, Laos, Philippines, etc. How long do you stay out before you can return to Thailand for tourist re-entry? I am United States citizen for SE Asia travel tourism only.
Truth is, a lot of people from the UK do not have the money to go on expansive long haul holidays ! Chronic Tory Govt mismanagement of the economy and astronomically high energy and fuel bills have wiped out an awful lot of peoples disposable incomes. As for savings, most don't have any according to recent stats. You might have ti hope for tourists from other parts of the globe
in Thailand you're not drunk until the police told you so.😂 anyway, your sign for the coffee shop is too bland. it needs more color & catchy sometime names of the owner is not important ....name like “star buck, Caribu, etc are catchy....that looks like a dentist would make a sign like it...😅

Put your earring back in Richie... it'll give you the pirate look you deserve... 😝😝😊
You need to build an additional toilet as well if you're expanding your place.
you might not get to find out Rich if you keep walking on the wrong side of the road ! stay safe
So basically traveling has increased to the point that low season is no longer a thing?
Great to see you guys again and fantastic news that expansion is on the cards . Always great to see you both ..Good luck with all your plans...lee In uk 🇬🇧
Flight prices have doubled to Thailand this will definitely have a impact on Thailand's tourism this year
Planning my next visit and it's cheaper to fly to Kuala Lumpa and from there to Phuket than to fly into Bangkok and then down to Phucket. Over £200 saving. Thats from the UK.
That's the route I flew in January
Thumbs up 👍 Maybelle & Richie

Happy to discover this channel! I am coming to Thailand in mid June for a month and just keeping my fingers crossed for some nice weather :D
Hi ritchie love your videos coming over in September will definitely have my breakfast at maybelles
I think you two are resourseful enough to get through just about anything that life throws at you. I'm looking forward to breakfast at Maybelle's next time I am in Phuket.
I’m glad this was a good season for you two ! Was a big high point in my trip last November meeting you both :) See you and your new expansion soon next Year ✌️

Finally visited you guys the other week, great food compared with some places, very professional. See you soon guys!
Great way to start your day. Gorgeous beach.
Thinking of the Polish lady's family.
Lovely new sign. Excited for the expansion and new things to come for you both.
Good to see Sean. Love his channel. He sleeps well with the help of nature's delights.😁
Lovely, you keep the staff happy. Good vibes.
The new dishes looked good.
Prices everywhere are madness, especially food.
Good Luck with moving. Have a great week.
Wishing you both much success with your expansion!
Good luck 👍🏻 with the expansion we’ll come see you guys later this year 🙏
Hope you hit all the targets...happy you
Thanks Ritchie. Sorry to hear about accident. But exciting news about expansion. Look forward to seeing you both early July. Best wishes.

Watching since you first started, amazing success! Looking forward to dropping in when I move over. Cheers
There are so many Russians running from there country u might have a lot of customers during low season
Expansion sounds very exciting. I can’t wait to come back to visit….will be in January next year after spending xmas in CM. An Airbnb sounds fab. Of course people will be excited to stay at Richie and Maybelles overlooking the coffee garden. What a great idea x x
Great video guys. Thanks for all the updates.
good to see the both of you again. and best of luck with the expansion!
We’ll definitely be trying the new food dishes when we come back in October,enjoy your quiet time,you’ve earned it .
Richie & Maybelle,i've been waiting for your next video.Good to see you back mate.
Hey Richie glad to see things are going good. I made my way back to Phuket and was at the garden on Startday afternoon. Not busy but happy for the good food and drink :) I'll be back again for sure.
Don't forget the Cider! (No fruit) for us cider drinkers 😀 hoping to come and see you later this year😊
not surprised it's hot, looking at the geo engineered sky's
I have booked flight tickets... flying in August 16 return aug 31 2023.

Hello,
How was the weather in August? I plan on visiting next year.
I’m on my way at the end of May and if it’s quiet I’m happy. I don’t like massive crowds.
Well done all the best on your expansion👍👌🏻😁

Great news with the new hours😊 see you guys in January😎
Why are you moving house? Surely living on MCG's doorstep is ideal?
Yes great way to start love it😊

Good luck to you both as always, & with everything you do. Remember..... never stop being R & M.
now you have 5 staff you could if you haven't already , that is to get a work permit as on my understanding you have to have a minimum of 4 to get one
Great have a bar and a band in the evening ,nice big explosion 💥.
Those meat balls looked nice, will have to try
Hilarious. Back from Bali and “sleeping better”. Will see you in August.
flights didnt double for me, currently in phuket, i got return flights from sydney to phuket for $400aud on a jetstar sale
Fortunately, no one was injured in the car accident But what will happen to the damage now who is going to pay for the damage the insurance Or the foreigner Can you tell us that
Soon visiting Phuket, your wife is cute, lucky man
Hey about time miss you guy's
You hit the nail on the head , DRAUGHT BEER,
Prices has doublef. True
That new rule is unfair to those small traders , but since when did Thailand Authorities give a toss about little people ,
Those little people never paid 1 bht tax in their lives and never will .why should the state roll the red carpet out for them .
Good morning from us in Alaska
Saw your face light up when you said “Guinness on draught” 🤣
Brew your own craft beer it’s easy
15:55 hahaha that was funny
Lifestyle just a want never a need hopefully your intelligent enough to get my point I have never chased a lifestyle

it’s not all bad,,, Thai tourism are expecting over 700,000 Indians to travel to Thailand over next few months, there does that make you feel better!?
What ever transpires , it’s the Falung fault, it would never have happened if Falung wasn’t there ,
Hi will see you in august they will be four of us to dine in you Cafe bar restaurant
I'm sure your new venture will be a massive success. Just a short, 1.5km stroll from the beach, along the dodgy 4028, in blistering 32°C heat...
Air prices are too high and credit is about to go high
Budget Budget the Budget .. budget the budget..
I want to know more about your business and income other than beaches . Can you give a preview of your business and how much do you make daily 😅
Go back and watch earlier videos on this channel and he does just that.
Truth is, a lot of people from the UK do not have the money to go on expansive long haul holidays ! Chronic Tory Govt mismanagement of the economy and astronomically high energy and fuel bills have wiped out an awful lot of peoples disposable incomes.

English is my second language , I would think low season cancelled means there is no low season and it's actually busy
What's Cancelled?
in Thailand you're not drunk until the police told you so.😂
anyway, your sign for the coffee shop is too bland. it needs more color & catchy sometime names of the owner is not important ....name like “star buck, Caribu, etc are catchy....that looks like a dentist would make a sign like it...😅
