No can do ....  saying in the cuds a few hours outside Korat,

Many bars are closed because of not so many people around also because of the windows you're allowed to serve alcohol. They will probably wait for the emergency decree to be lifted and serving hours are back to normal.

i gave up on Ban Chang 1+ years ago, it was the stupid pricing just made it not worthwhile

Yes i agree. and i have done the same 

why to bother to do the 1 hour more trip from Pattaya (And the same for the return)

and ending with much less choice and the same prices (Or sometimes even more) ?

I walked around Soi Buakhao/LK Metro last night. Most bars are open but very quiet, just one or two girls and virtually no customers. The lights are off in many places which makes the place look scary. Two a gogos actually open. Pandoras where you have to sit inside a plastic booth and the dancers are behind a plastic shield !!

a new take on safe sex

Some places busy. Last saturday Triangle bar was very busy, Trenchtown bar also. Last night soi buakao not so busy. After i went to ibar in walking street, they opened first night and it was packed, thousands of people, i was shocked. So if you go for a girl it's the best time ever now with many young girls but also mostly young farang..

Thousands? ????

Are any of the bars in Walking street open? 

[Kaoboi Bebobp]

In the same vein, how about the bars and restaurants in the area from Buakhao through New Plaza to Second Rd.? Any activity?

100% agree, While prices in many areas in pattaya were decreasing Ban Chang kept going higher, it is now ridiculous, like many do they shot themselves in the foot big time, why did this happen you ask, simple, there is one "influential" Thai so called mr big running the street and dictating prices (price fixing), his commercial attributes are limited to say the least - idiot would be an accurate description 

[Oldie]

There are very many bars open. You just have to find them.

to be fair they were partly forced into it by police insisting they couldn't have STs upstairs so people were forced to not only pay a bar fine but also the short time room elsewhere, that killed it for me particularly as now in Pattaya it's the cheapest it's been for years, 700-1,000 all incl
