A recent Harvard study found higher rates of Covid in vaccinated vs un-vaccinated places. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8481107/ Increases in COVID-19 are unrelated to levels of vaccination across 68 countries and 2947 counties in the United States At the country-level, there appears to be no discernable relationship between percentage of population fully vaccinated and new COVID-19 cases in the last 7 days (Fig. 1). In fact, the trend line suggests a marginally positive association such that countries with higher percentage of population fully vaccinated have higher COVID-19 cases per 1 million people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cipher Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Quote I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. From my decade of experience with Thais, especially Thai women, I have found that money is their primary goal in life and there is little shame in the culture to care where it came from. Darn, if money is the primary goal of the average person, they are really pretty bad at it. 13 hours ago, Mac Mickmanus said: Its an embarrassment for Thais , that their Country is associated with prostitution Don't know why I see this being debated. It's true. Gf and I are both 30yr old professionals who spend 50%+ of our time outside Thailand, and the association with prostitution is frequently annoying. It's not like, unbearable, but would I rather see the association broken? Yes. Zero chance that Thailand's elite in general feel differently about this than us. To clarify: I don't care if the industry exists or judge patrons. Transactions between consenting adults? Go for it. I'd just rather it not be associated with Thailand in the popular global consciousness. Quote International travel will never recover. Also lol at this. I'd bet anyone who believes that this is true 10 Gs that we see a new high in airline annual passenger numbers within the next decade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonesense comment from someone who may have experienced the sunset days of Walking Street and got over excited at the sight of a ladyboy in a gold bikini. But to answer the OP's original question, the go-go and hostess bar has been in decline for over a decade In my early days in Bangkok the main hostess bar scene was Soi 33, which also had some go-go bars in the side sois, but one by one the 'Impressionist' bars closed, as well as Mojo's (my personal favourite) and The Office. Without these bars the side soi gog-go's closed too. Nana Plaza became more tame, with more ladyboys bars every year, although Spankys was still a laugh. Patpong was for tourists, but the Pink Pussy (later re-named the Pink Panther and tamed down) was unique for it's Thai Boxing interspersed with live 'shows'. Cowboy was still fun, especially the glass floored Baccara and Toy Bar with it's special services. Walking Street in Pattaya used to have a raw charm, although the girls in Angel Witch made an effort to put on a proper show. Over time the dancing girls slumped into a lazy wiggle, then the bars all hired the same group of 'dancers' who were backed up by fteelancers. In later years Crazy House livened up Cowboy, but the main Soi Cowboy strip became a bit lame, Nana was just dirty, Patpong was desperate and Pattaya walking street became a tourist attraction for Chinese and Indians. There were other bars away from the official entertainment zones that could be fun, Titanium on Soi 22 being one, but most closed permanently during COVID. I don't personally believe the go-go bars will re-open in anything like the numbers from a decade ago. The girls have gone on-line, politics has changed and business expats are now more likely to be Asian than European or American. I'll be ignoring the inevitable troll reply, but anyone who's been in Thailand for over 10 years can't fail to have noticed the steady decline in the go-go bar scene before COVID dealt the death blow. It was fun while it lasted, but the world has moved on. Edited October 18, 2021 by Kinnock 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanuman2547 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 The Go-Go bars and beer bars (Bar Beer?) will be back in Pattaya once the country is fully re-opened. They will definitely not be back to the huge numbers like in the early 2000's but they will be back to some degree. There is too much money to be made by too many people to let it just totally fade away. Pattaya has always adapted to the changing trends and markets starting with the American GI's in the late 60's up until Covid-19 shut everything down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But currently 99% of these businesses are closed. There is no money to open them up again. People opened up after the last lockdown, took risks, lost money...but not again.

So yeah - Go-Gos and the like are a thing of the past as well as the foreign tourism population that frequented Go-Gos and the bar-girl scene. What a lot of crock! Who are you? NOSTRADAMUS! The oldest profession in the world will rebound and prosper in Thailand in its many forms (go-go bars, massage, cocktail lounges etc) long after you've kicked the bucket. Money makes the world go 'round. Whichever Govt. is in power will never admit that a big chunk of its revenue comes from 'sex tourists'. The current "flavour of the month" is the aim of attracting wealthy tourists. If you've been around Thailand long enough you must know that they come out with these "thought bubbles" every few weeks. Tourism will prosper again in Thailand for all the usual reasons... shopping, beaches and sex! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
