I am not convinced they all will remain closed, but the numbers needed some trimming and forced retirement.

 

That's a lot of trimming and retirement.  

 

I have no doubt many of the permanent closed massage businesses will eventually reopen, albeit, maybe not at the same location, but it may take 3 to 5 years.

Mongers will trickle in late 2021 and into 2022.  

 

Tourist numbers similar to pre covid, 3 to 5 years.  

 

When do you think Pattaya will get back to pre covid tourist numbers?

October 24th 2021 they will start to return or sooner if the ASQ quarantine requirement is binned.

I'm thinking the recovery will start around mid 2022, but pre covid numbers not until well after that.

 

A lot will depend on how and when the Thai government procures the vaccine for the people, and in what time frame they can roll it out.

I agree.  They will be first back in, and I'm thinking towards the end of 2021.  

 

What about mainstream tourism?

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.

Lol wow

Difficult to say, even if you add the dirty younger men. 

Russians and Indians with their families and the Chinese tour groups are possibly the mainstream now. Whether they provide the mainstream dollar is another matter.

Chinese, Indians, Russians, on a package holiday.

Yeah, can't even get the pigeon holes right. Wastes time, however, having to scroll over all that nonsense in hopes of finding a post worth reading.

Borders will open next month. 

 

Flights will be cheap. 

 

The tourists will be back in 2 months. 

 

All the bar girls from Issan will return. 

 

Every bar that closed will reopen again, bigger and better than before to cater for the returning tourists in 2 month.

 

Songkran 2021 will be the biggest in history. 

 

The coming low season will be bigger than the biggest high season ever.

Never judge a book by its cover, particularly in The Canterbury Tales.

Define significant amount of tourists.
