There is only a few weeks left of school in Feb. What's the point?

My son's term doesn't end until early April.

are soapy massage shops open? 

No.  They are specifically excluded, for now.  Sorry.

I guess you are not home schooling a child due to this current lockdown...   My Wife would gladly welcome one day off... Opening schools as soon as possible will make a welcome and significant difference for children and parents alike. 

 

 

 

I am. It is hell.

 

But still, objectively speaking, a few more weeks of this versus a potentially worse covid situation?

I guess only the government knows what the difference is. 

I was going to ask about that.????

What IS the difference between a massage shop and aassage parlour?

I expect my wife to say NO to either one until Covid is under better control. She even hesitates about shopping.

Very nice soi actually......dead end so traffic is limited.....few girly bars, first one on the right is quite good (called 'Today'), second moo down on the right there is Lolitas......and quite a nice range of bistro type bars....

 

I was down on Soi 8 tonight.

 

A few places open serving food. Everyone drinking out of the same suspicious looking cups. Like metal tankards.

 

Nice atmosphere. Relaxing music, lighting good. Chilled vibe. A few of those restaurant/bistro places have had a makeover. Had a upmarket feel on the soi.

 

I, however, went to the aforementioned Today@Soi8 bar where they were drinking from paper cups.

 

I ACTUALLY recall going there months ago when it was like 80-90 a bottle-draught. 

 

Now it is 125, bottle, no draught. Pretty cheeky price hike, but hey, where else can you drink now?

 

Anyway, the police showed up and everyone had to move inside and close the curtains. It was crowded inside cos there were a fair few sitting outside.

 

We were like a bunch of scared, white, sardines holding paper cups of cheap beer with a few heavily tattooed handy-looking birds saying, "Mai pen rai"

Ha....other side of the road and first bar on the left......nothing special, but there is a pool table inside and beer is 80baht.....not what I would call a girly bar......but you can sit outside and watch the world go by.

 

We all jumped out of the side window last week when the police came.....wel'ard.

 

The same owner has a street bar on soi 11 Jewly Bar.

There will be a massive effort to 'repurpose' massage parlors into 'massage shops'. Spurt !!

 

What ya talking about.  They already are.

 

There is scarcely a massage place in this country that ain't doing rub n tugs upstairs (and the rest).

 

They may look like traditional places and someone may be getting foot reflexology downstairs, but upstairs (or over the other side of the curtain) a couple are playing a game of "hold the moan" (at least) half naked.

 

Don't be fooled if they don't look "the type"

What's on Soi 8?

Many hope that the schools open again so that they have some time without kids. Good that I always used condoms...

yes i agree that people are so ridiculous with their family things and kids.

they all "want" (or just accept what the wife wants in 99% cases) and try to spend the minimum time with them, praying that schools do not close...

condoms and CIM are really what anybody smart would do !

Massage shop - typical Thai shop with foot massage, Thai massage, oil massage (and possibly extras for added fee)

 

Massage parlour -- the typical Thai soapy establishment with rubber mattresses, sudsy baths, lotions and gels, etc etc.

Hhahaa only real difference is you are laying on a massage table and not a rubber mattress. Two names net effect equally interchangeable.
