090: Desperate to Save Their Business in Bangkok

In this episode of One Night in Bangkok, I sit down with Lily and Daniel, the couple behind CouCou, a cozy game café + bar in Ekkamai 12. They speak openly about what it’s like trying to build a business in Thailand as foreigners: the unexpected costs (they invested around 3.5M THB), expensive overhead, the challenges of location/visibility, influencer marketing costs, and the moment they realized they might have to shut down if they don’t turn things around. If you’re into Bangkok business stories, hidden gems in Bangkok, or you’re a creator/entrepreneur trying to figure out what works, you’ll get a ton from this one.
