Do they have bars in Central Festival? 

Central Festival is a shopping mall. There are no bars.

Mass tourism had gotten out of control over the past 20 years, and in quite a few countries the tourism tail was starting to wag the economy dog, in not a healthy way. This is the great reset.

i agree fully, mass tourism has made people lazy and arrogant with inflated prices this will wake people up

Why is that funny?

Many bar customers don't want to be seen on any pictures. It makes a lot of sense for a lot of guys...

Are you for real?

 

So today all bar owners make pictures without a single customer on it, where before they would do just the opposite to brag how successful they were? Yeah sure

I don't know where you spend your time. In the bars where I go nobody is allowed to take any pictures of anybody.

The best two bars in Nana were supposed to open on the 7th July. That was delayed. Then they were supposed to open on the 15th. They had big count down counters on their websites.

I didn't go look since then but I looked again at their websites to see the pictures of the re-opening parties. There are no pictures. I guess that is information enough to know that the big re-openings didn't go so well.

What are the 2 best bars? The bars should have life-sized photos of the girls unmasked and in uniform.

Face shields, masks, distancing? Who would even bother?

Customers don't have to wear shields but I suppose whether you'd bother or not depends on the type of customer you are and the type of bar that you're patronising.  Not everyone is looking for a tart for the night, having a few drinks, eating, chatting, playing pool, whatever isn't affected in normal bars.

I see many FB posts about Pattaya bars showing all the ladies, but no customers.

 

In one such posts a customer asked, but what about the customers?

 

Bar owner replied, we are not allowed to post pictures from customers.  55555555555555555555555555555555555555

What's so funny, how many men want their pictures all over Facebook showing them in girly bars?

Actually travelling x-country. Many places open, thx to Chinese Virus and close borders policy almost all dead empty. Like this, nobody in the business can survive.

"Like this, nobody in the business can survive".

Depends which "business" you're referring to.  There are bars in Bangkok that don't rely on whores and their associated business that are doing ok since the re-opening so claiming that "no one can survive" is nonsense.

This is not about what customers want, bar owners including the one who made comment have been posting pictures of their clientele on facebook all the time in the past, and I bet they never asked permission of the customers.

 

This one claimed that COVID rules prevented him from posting pictures

You like to contradict yourself, isn't it?

 

Wonder why you made this post if your drivel is anything to go with.

Here in Chiang Mai the bars in the tourist areas are dead. I doubt if many of them will last a few weeks as there is little chance of any decent number of domestic or international tourists coming here. The city and the province are doing nothing to attract visitors so it will soon be a wasteland.

On the flip side, I really enjoy my visits to tourist-free Chiang Mai.  The wind has been ripped out the sails of the hard-sell crowd that prey on tourists such as touts and scam artists.  Now there's only a handful of people in the down-town area - imho...perfect!  I'm enjoying it while the government promotes economy destroying measures.  Eventually they may wake-up and decide that controlling their populations via dictate was fun and they got to enjoy making the public dance on strings, but the strategy only works in the short-term.  Eventually everyone gets sick and tired of 'new normal' as 'new normal' poverty becomes the catalyst for civil discontent and those responsible for the economic destruction end up in the working segment of society's cross-hairs. Elite Thais are Thais: they are loathe to lose face.
But until then?  Enjoy the down-time in 'new-normal' Chiang Mai!

Many have sometimes pictures of their girls online when they have some special parties. That is no contradiction at all.

Who want's to see pictures of the customers? And who wants to see pictures of themselves in girly bars?

With all the makeup she does appear beautiful. How about without it?

 

I would guess she is a momma. Can be OK or not.

 

Anyway, enjoy!

I am too afraid myself to go into one, and sounds just too silly with social distancing at these places. My buddy did go to the place tat starts with B and P in walking street, and he said they follow the guidelines face shields, etc. But clubs like B0ne and Billy wood, none of that applies... No wonder they cant get it under control.

Can't get what under control? Thailand has reported zero new local cases every day for 63 days straight now.

 

That beats the Chinese record which was about 55 days I think ????

 

 

How's the scene on Ratchada looking? Anyone visit lately?
