Popular Post redwood1 Posted December 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2020 (edited) R-Con hotel on Soi Bukow has fallen on hard times......For years they were renting rooms out for between 10-12,000 a month not including utilities.......I checked on the prices before......Now I guess they are desperate for renters at 4,000 a month...

They are in the same country but very different situations. Particularly CM has had troubles for a long time particularly the high season pollution. He was posting that alot of new shops were opening. I haven't seen any evidence of that in Pattaya. Maybe you have?

Not likely to get me to buy a tequila on-line from my sofa though, don't do it when actually in there! So, Pattaya bars are now begging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sezze Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 On 11/24/2020 at 1:26 AM, jacko45k said: I think the process is the utility comes and takes out the meter if the bill goes unpaid. Although I had recent experience near to my home of a bill being overdue for more than a month, but there was still power .... they used to come around and cut the power more quickly in the past, which suggests some leniency or backlog. Depending on situation can take a few months of unpaid bills before they remove the meter . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those with the wherewithal to set up the streaming and payment software and hardware. I would say that requires some Western management or help. Hopefully it does not take over the business 100% and eliminate real bums on seats. I might avoid the places myself, or certainly want to know which areas are under camera, so as to sit elsewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen recent examples of it being over a month, but quite sure in the past they were quicker. That said I am not certain of the time period from the bills going out to the due date. At some point for water the 7-11 stops accepting them and you have to go to the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Town Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Several of the Soi 6 bars have gone virtual, livestreaming their jiggling bodies while begging for 150 baht drinks, and the girls have gotten spoiled rotten. I went to one this week and even the ugly ones won't do short time. As well, they had removed all the comfy couches where you could slap and tickle while negotiating the upstairs price, and replaced them with VERY unfriendly bar stools. Changing times. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the type of news I feared. Did a little time around soi 6 a few weeks back and saw evidence of this.... although one place was also streaming from a shuttered bar, to an open sister bar nearby and one could order off the TV screen. Look around or try different places, there was certainly upstairs action being hawked a few weeks back... I hope it hasn't changed so much. I wonder how long this will last.... it is an International image I suspect Thai officialdom dislikes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
