Radio news this morning advised that all places required to close would get a letter today. I think punishments are pretty harsh so I doubt that many will be breaking the law, less so advertising the fact on here and similar sites.

People will do just about anything when they have no money......Plenty of bars will be open....The law does not jack in times of need...

I do not have a problem with this....

Yea well ever since the Coronavirus tracking and security checks, health checks seem to be growing like weeds everywhere....

Its like 911 part two.....  

https://thepattayanews.com/2020/03/17/pattaya-city-starts-additional-precautions-for-tourists-visiting-koh-larn-including-temperature-checks-and-hand-sanitizer-usage/

Pattaya City Law Enforcement posted several photos and announced that as part of additional precautions and to ensure everyone is healthy they will be checking the temperature of every person visiting Koh Larn daily.

This is simply getting ridiculous........Are we going to need temperature checks every where we go now.....Are Big C and 7-11 next??......

I think they should pay everyone who they instruct to stop working.

And I don't know any girl who get's a salary for prostitution. They get salaries for dancing.

If you would work somewhere and the government tells you to stop. How would you react?

And just for the record: I pay income tax in Thailand. 

The government needs to be buying lady drinks and paying bar fines for hookers in these hard times....

Govt plans more stimulus

I know this bar girl that gives very good stimulus....

It's happening world wide bars restaurants clubs ect closing for a certain time period 

Why do people think  Pattaya should be different 

Health before wealth comes to mind 

Because with out bars Pattaya has almost nothing.....

And the government will be supporting all the bars and restaurants and their employees and families until they can open again???

Everything is shutting down including New York.... There's no alternative or Thailand will end up like Italy. Thai doctors are warning since days and urging the government to finally react, they don't do that without reason. 

 

Wake up...Not a time for bs conspiracy stories.

Unfortunately many/most conspiracies end up being truth.....

Because most of the new 30 cases today got it from Nightclubs and Bars.. Read the report

Yawn........If the virus in many cases takes 2 weeks for some one to feel sick how would anyone know they got it from a bar?.......Answer.....They would not know.....

Self medicated from a local Pharmacy but it took 4 weeks to get any better, then a few weeks back home til it eased enough to go about a normal routine. Usually my chest infections clear with meds after a week or so 

Try vaping vegetable glycerin and clove oil......This has kicked a chest colds ass for me......

Well in this current deader than dead condo/house market if I was buying I would be offering no more than 50% of the asking price...

You need to update your view on the cost of living in Pattaya.

 

Rent has to be paid, and they have to eat.  The days of a farang "tipping" or paying a bar fine for that matter, are just about over.  Most of these girls are used to the main money earner being sex, but now there are no customers, but many have debts to banks for cars and land in Issan.

 

Without such debts, they can live of a handful of rice and killing the odd chicken.  No electricity needed. 

 

Yes, mama and papa's house is really a shack.  In the past, from the shack they came, only to go abroad to a farang palace.  Nowdays, from the shack they came, and to the shack they are returning. 

 

I know two girls, one had a legit job, the other was a bar girl, both gone home to Issan.  Just not enough income to make living in Pattaya viable.  

 

Times are changing. 

Yea right......LOL.........Most Thai families don't live in shacks any more....I bet most have smart phones and smart TVs.......Bar girls would not know how to kill a chicken........Your dreaming about past times....

Bar girls are not going home to live no matter how slow it gets...No way no how.....Never going to happen....EVER.....
