Went to a few agogos again last night, Windmill definitely back to pre covid levels, packed with girls and customers, one girl who used to work Electric Blue who had a spectacular pair, now in Windmill but sadly the pair are a distant memory

There were so many hilarious predictions but the one that stands out to me was his chicken and egg scenario. The girls won't come back if there are no customers and the customers won't come back if there are no girls ????.  Amazingly from what I saw last night there were loads of girls and customers.

Who would have thought it.

We certainly don't hear so much from him now ( thank god ), i think that says it all - lol.

Customers are plentiful one night, sparse the next. But TreeTown is always busy.

 

i went to the Escape club last night. Lots of ladies and customers. I guess the predicted doom and gloom never came to pass.

When you mentioned escape club I thought it was a new lame business where you had to use clues to escape from rooms as a team....

 

...obviously not ????

67% of Vietnam's tourism industry is from just 4 countries, China, Korea, Taiwan and Japan. That suggests to me it is predominantly a budget Asian tour bus destination. Nothing wrong with that, but I think it will be a long time before it has the broader geographic customer base that Thailand attracts. We've seen how Sihanoukville has been destroyed by a Chinese casino/gambling model, I hope Thailand doesn't go down that route.

 

I think it will be interesting where westerners chose to visit in the future. 

 

Thailand is relying on being "Thailand."  Vietnam is investing heavily in tourism infrastructure, and I have given some examples of this. 

 

Once again, I am looking at 5 years from now, not immediate post covid.

 

If Vietnam returns to 32.8% increases in tourism, year on year, as previously posted, it's not so many years into the future where they will equal, and possibly overtake Thailand, for numbers, which you rightly point out will be mainly from Asian countries, but it will be interesting to see where westerners chose, other than sex tourists, as Thailand has that market well and truly secured.

Once again, I never said Pattaya would fall into a big hole, never to be seen again, however, despite covid coming to an end, there are still difficult times ahead for bars, restaurants etc.  Many may not make it to the end of their current lease.

Do you deny there was a period in time where this was the case?

 

A lot of the girls returned home to their villages.  Do you deny this?

 

Despite their bar, and other bars opening back up, prior to Thailand opening back up, many didn't come back to Pattaya until some sex tourists started to return, and that has been in recent times.

 

I predicted it, and it happened.  Speak to bar owners.  The girls were hesitant to return until there were customers in the bars, not because of catching covid.  Did I say it was going to be the case for ever?

I think you are right to push out the timeframe to 5 years, looking at the situation in the here and now doesn't reflect your narrative.

It took you 1 week to come up with that.  All over the place.

Now, that's brilliant.

I never once suggested that immediately, post covid, western tourists would be bypassing Thailand for Vietnam.

 

As I said, Vietnam is continuing to build tourism infrastructure, where Thailand continues to rely on being Thailand. 

 

Just like the Nokia phone company, interesting times ahead for Thailand's tourism industry.

Go down Soi Post Office at night.  You need to turn on high beam.  The Beach Road half of the Soi is in complete darkness.

To be fair, Soi PO was dying in 2019, what with the old Gogos closing etc.  Covid only exacerbated it. Much of that action seem simply to have moved.
