Yes, for an extra 100 baht she will put her phone down and use both hands.

So after month after month of massage shop closures a number of them on Klang by Buakhao have dropped the price to 80 baht an hour, already busy, finally they are realising by lowering the price you g

The place I used to go has the sauna still going but the girls are gone, except the one that used to massage me. She's selling fruit from a stall near the sauna, and massaging when a customer comes.

Good point........ Pattaya was on it's ar5e before Covid

Never felt it was that bad, always too many  bars for the number of punters and forever closing down and re-opening. Different again now with Tree Town, LK and Buakhao booming, Sois 7 and 8 died the death, Sois Yamato, Post Office, Pattayaland, Walking St and Second Rd pretty dismal. Been away for 2 months so I'm probably out of date.

Maybe they will start competing on prices, pointless them all selling tinned soup for 80+ baht

Always the same stuff and prices to match each other....we need an Aldi here ????

The restaurant building is now a Thai restaurant.  The overgrown bit is where the overspill containers were.

I am seeing lots of new bars opening, but not so many photos of crowds in the bars. Since the new ThailandPass is just coming online, I would guess that the number of Farangs in Pattaya now is pretty low. Even before Covid, March was a bad month for bars. So, if the number of bars is increasing while the number of customers is decreasing, that is not good for business.

There was talk of extending the 11pm closing time.

 

Are bars still asking for ATK test results?

Never been to one that asked for ATK.

It's quiet now, low season, I've walked around Treetown twice recently and very few customers just many girls serving. Pothole meant to be the new soi 6 is quiet even though lots of new bars

I still thought there appeared to be quite a lot of Expat/Falang types in the Buakhao area at the weekend. I always presume we get a few in from Bangkok, obviously locals too... but I sensed it was quieter. New bars, well people see the likelihood of the restrictions being lifted soon, which they will be, and want to be ahead of the game..... there will be many who got out of it a few years ago ready to dip a toe. Not interested in bar-hopping myself until at least bars and GGBs get the nod.

Massage shops on Klang just round the corner from Buakhao have dropped their price back down from 150 to 100, quiet since they previously increased the price

A couple of places didn`t put their prices up and reaped the benefits...many of the others have had to follow :whistling:

As a customer it's been a pleasant old school low season vibe since the New Year., I don't see that significantly changing for the next 6 months, Good luck to the new openings, it's great to have more options.

I've thought it's been reasonably busy every night but your post made me look closer. You appear correct as LK bars are full of ladies with maybe half as many blokes in the bar

 

...umm, is that a bad thing ???? 

 

I know I was Pa Pa pre-covid, now I'm "Law" and happy to hear "Welcome" without the Pa Pa added ????

I went to a coffee shop yesterday just outside Pattaya, selling Cannabis, first time I've seen it, next to the biscuits

Are you talking some leaves or actual buds.

A new bar called "Backyard Boogie" and a new gogo called "High Rollers" I think.

 

Also, some vlogger called "Vlogging A Dead Horse" got into a scuffle on Soi 6 for filming just from the street. It looked like a foreign bar owner or long time customer from "English ????" called him a ???? and chased him down the street with a crowd in tow. He did not even go near the bar, but was just filming down the street. Weird.

 

Keep your phones pointed down I guess and don't use a selfie stick.
