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

I see your point, but it could diminish to 0 cases a day, but that doesn't mean it's not out there.  You can still catch it. 

 

At what point will you put faith in your own body / health, and the vaccine, and start living with pre-covid freedom?  

 

Basic common sense applies here. When Thailand is going through the peak of a wave, it’s best to avoid it. When the wave starts to decline a bit, that’s the time to plan for a trip.

Once again, I see your point, but are you trying to avoid catching covid, completely?  If so, I would suggest that's impossible, no matter where you are. 

 

On that basis, why hold off booking a trip?

The weird thing currently is gentleman clubs are open as normal, some soi 6 bars are open, both are basically brothels but agogos are still closed as agogos and even when open no sex allowed on site, things don't make much sense here

For all the people assuming Pattaya is only busy on a week-end, counted 32 customers in soi 7 "Lovely Corner Bar' today at 12:30

 

All other beach road bars busy as well...not high season, but not bad either

Ruskys spending their last ruble.

I have not even considered visiting these former GGBs to see what they do now.... they were overpriced for what they had on offer previously! Many had a 'loom' that could be used though......

The new Hemmingways on Soi Honey is looking pretty close to finished (looks pretty nice inside)

 

I just had a look at Hemmingways in Jomtien (assume same owner) and with a cheese burger at 325 Baht and bottle beer at 95 it doesn't look like a Retox replacement ???? 

Maybe they'll give it to central Pattaya cheaper?

Didn't look open when I went by. Not a single person inside (customer or staff) and the refurb workers were all sitting on the entry step so I couldn't get in if I wanted to. TV outside was on though

I hear The Pattaya Beer garden reopens today.....1pm to 10pm.

Lower staff numbers and single shift so may take a while to get up to speed. Welcome back to a Pattaya institution.

They kept that pretty quiet. I walk the Pattaya beach to beer garden every morning and never saw anything. I always loved this place ????

For me the best gogo is Windmill.

 

Visit a few days ago: very few customers, no show, hungry girls desperately looking for the pigeon of the evening..

 

Better to wait for the official reopening.

I am reading about lots of mild Omicron cases among people going to bars in Pattaya.

 

Hey, what's what the Beach Club in TreeTown that seems to be open after 11 pm, what's up with that? I thought bars closed at 11 pm?

Treetown bars had an unofficial pass until midnight (unless Bangkok or Chonburi police were visiting) although this could all be changing now after some violence a couple of nights ago.

He's reporting on an area that was becoming less relevant to Pattaya's nightlife, even pre covid.  

 

As Pattaya emerges from covid, the only significance Walking Street will have to Pattaya's nightlife will be a historic one.
