The new spokesperson for the Nightwish group of bars, whose business plan is to accumulate two dozen leases in the same street, many next to each other, and then complain that they will be badly effected by a shutdown. No diversification,no spread of assets.

Thats what happens when all the eggs are in one basket.

The real boss of Nightwish said in a Stickman interview last week "It will be interesting to see how this effects Pattaya, but I feel our bar businesses are pretty resilient to economic problems."

"Anytime sales are low in Pattaya people always find something to blame such as visa issues, the police, currency exchange rates etc. Now they will blame the virus! The true comparison is to compare last year’s figures – but as we improve our businesses year after year, that data will show an increase anyway!"

O dear.

Pretty sure the whole thing was a joke  from the beginning.

The Baku group aren't the impressive power block as they try to present themselves as.

The three lounges around Boukhao came about because their original ventures there didn't pan out. Two bars in S6 weren't difficult to acquire as many people want out, and picking up the lease for Batchelor was an easy lift. Add that to a bar in Action Street, and that's the portfolio. Hardly first division,is it?

On Soi 6? 

No, that's not it.

On Saturday 29 February, a police vehicle chaperoned another pick-up spraying some chemical all along Soi 6 in Pattaya. The few bargirls and managers came out and recorded this unusual behaviour on their phones.

The extraordinary event is showing on youtube. Search "Soi 6 spraying for virus" to locate and view it.

Was any other street in Pattaya sprayed like this? Or any street in Thailand? 

If the police were involved, then it was an official act but not publicised anywhere.

What was the spray and how is spraying it in the air going to defeat a virus?

Why Soi 6 and nowhere else?

Strange one,this.
