How are the bars, restaurants, agogos, massage shops, gentleman clubs and any business doing during covid?

Windmill yes, but I have been in Dollhouse quite a few time when it was quiet, Insomnia, 808, Ibar not on my list..... 

Pinups was packing them in at that time. 

Dollhouse was quiet early on but later much busier, lots of girls in there so I don't care if few customers, they seem happy with the money they make.

 

Pinup was very popular and packed i had a free girlfriend who worked there, i had to kick her out to go to work

so remote payments online to prostitutes working abroad is considered 'charitable giving' nowadays is it?  That's even sadder. I am sure that these deluded punters could find more worthy causes for their cash. 

Whats it got to do with you what people do with their money?

[scubascuba3]

I gave Walking St a shot last night, early, Dollhouse was meant to be open at 6, turns out it's 7, i went back after 7 and it was empty, no music, nothing, upstairs nothing. Windmill wanted you to take an ATK so i bypassed that. WS probably got better later with other agogos open but I won't be back until they open properly

That sounds like a report I got from a friend..... not really worth visiting when it is livelier around Buakhao. Perhaps go to Le Pub if there is some sporting event you want to catch.

Nah, Walking st was doing well BC, mainly agogos and nightclubs, once they open properly and tourists are back normality on WS will be restored

IMO, that's the point. WS market is almost entirely tourists, whereas Bukhaou area including LK and Treetown are favoured by tourists and residents alike.

As i say....IMO

Who was it doing well with, pre covid? 

 

Indians in nightclubs sitting on one beer for hours while trying to talk the freelancers down on price?  The Chinese walking up and down spectating?

 

A few well known gogo's were doing ok, but Walking Street was falling out of favour.  Most likely because of its price point, due to ridiculous rents.  

 

If Walking Street was going so well, while the big rise in popularity in the Soi Baukhao / Tree Town area?

Reports continue from bar customers who get infected by Omicron, it's still bad in Pattaya in the bars.

Just one of many recent media articles on the matter.

Do you really want links to the reports, or do you want to argue that there is no Omicron in Pattaya.

 

The reality is that all it takes is one infected customer in a bar to pass the virus around, even in an open shophouse bar. If you don’t believe that, I can’t help you.  The good news is that Omicron is infectious but mild, especially if you are fully vaccinated.  But, I am going to wait until the epidemic lessens before hitting the bars.

If you don't mind me asking but exactly is a 'free girlfriend'?

It's not a term that I am used to.

Spreading my wings, got out of Pattaya central.

 

Wombat & Kiwi Bar doing well in Jomtien (corner of beach rd and soi 9). Like all Aussie bars, ice cold beer. Also good food.

 

Only opened Oct 21, so proof new bars can do well in Pattaya ????

Owner said it was the old Wombat Bar site but said it was empty for 10 years before he got it

 

Even better story opening a 10 year closed bar and making it busy ????

Atlantic Bar on 2nd Rd between Sois 3 & 4 has re-opened.

Open bars at the VIP Centre complex on Naklua Rd has increased from 3 open to 5; just one bar empty for now.

I just spent 3 weeks in Pattaya and Bangkok.  F Covid.  I was tested 4 times and came up negative every time even though I was bar hopping without a mask.  Stop scaring people.  You guys are worse than CNN.  Visit Thailand, have fun, and enjoy your life.

I,m sure plenty will when all the idiotic restrictions put in place are scrapped.....

[aussiexpat]

I have noticed that Pattaya bars seem a bit quiet this week. Is it that people have left, or like me, are they staying home more in their aircon condo to avoid the heat?

 

I usually leave this time of year as March/April is just too hot and humid for me so easy to understand why this is considered low season

Imagine boring this forum for 2 years unable to get here, and now you're here you're staying indoors because it's too hot for you.  Yeah you're right, they've all come here at considerable expense and hassle to stay inside their hotel rooms.

 

You're a bit removed from reality.

Typical transition from High Season to Low Season. After Songkran, Pattaya rolls over and dies. 

[scubascuba3]

People often go before Songkran incl a lot of girls

Did you also not catch dengue, malaria nor dysentery? If not, I guess they do not exist either. 

[cowboys2008]

Of course Covid exists.  All I'm saying is just don't let it dominate your life.

Perhaps why gentleman's clubs have gained in popularity, over open air bars, in recent times.  

 

I don't mind paying a bit extra for a/c, no dust, no motorbike noise, no mosquitos, no hawkers, no beggars etc, and a little privacy.
