So you think they will settle easily into the village. For many, village life is intolerable and they would rather scrape around here with their own circle of friends than vegetate in the village. Meanwhile, I am doing the best that I can by sponsoring my favourite massage lady. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't even need transport as large coaches pick up and drop off like US schoolkids. I am unsure how well these pay but overtime is available and young, nimble fingered women, are the target staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as "Bodega" is concerned, as long as Patrick is at the helm, I am sure that Bodega will stay afloat. If he should be forced to retire (agewise), all bets are off. Thx.

Bodega and Wonderful 2 always have staff about and seem prepared to re-open when given the OK. Wonderful 1 has been "tinned up" for a long time and an ex-regular told me they won't be re-opening.. He didn't say where his info came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodega is still open for "take away" food... Wonderful 1 is boarded up but Wonderful 2 has signs of life....I believe last week before the latest measures were put in place a bottle of nectar was still available behind the screening....

nausea Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 I must admit, I:m looking on the Nightwish Group with interest. Going from his you-tube channel, the guy is a pretty decent person. If they can't make it, who can? Everybody's hanging on by the skin of their teeth. It really needs some big initiative from central government to keep the infrastructure alive; <deleted> the fantastical high value tourist. The bread and buttter is John from Manchester,and his mates. No-one, absolutely, no-one, is coming here here, full stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times have been lean. If they get back to Pattaya in the future, probably borrowed the fare. the coin earned from one ST punter covers that bus fare so is easily repaid within a short time frame.
