Friends of mine had shared their restaurant employment/management experiences with me and I had seen enough reality shows about chefs to know that it's a massive undertaking. I talked with Waew about the intensity and effort required to run a successful restaurant and she seemed to get it. Being a foreigner, I knew I was unable to legally work in Thailand so the onus of the decision was on Waew. We talked with them for a while, took a few photos then left. Just seeing what was out there.Īround the beginning of March, Waew and I went to see what Pat and Nimo had created. To this day, neither Waew nor I know how the idea of looking for a restaurant came about.
There were some very well paid jobs available liaising with Japanese tourists but something didn't feel right. Waew became unhappy with her role and decided to quit although she had no idea what to do next. Allow me to scoot you back in time again and talk about Waew's path.Īpril 2013 sees Waew return to Thailand after living in Japan for 15 years. She quickly gained employment working in the reception of a serviced apartment building. They worked hard and, in January 2014, they married and realised they longed for a different direction so they put The Hideout up for sale. It was a relaxed café environment where people chill out, drink coffee, chat and eat food. They sought a location, designed the logo, created a menu, fitted out the location and opened the door to what they called The Hideout. They had recently been cheated out of a café they helped create and they wanted to make their own space. In October 2013, Pat and Nimo were feeling scorned.
