My flight arrives on 15th, stay the night at airport hotel and then hit Pattaya on morning of 16th, the supposed re-opening day.

 

So far I know Irish Rovers is open for my usual breaky and a couple of beer starters. Where to head after that for my first day of Pattaya booze and fun for 26 months ????

 

Edit: hopefully not 7-11 lol

You will need a crystal ball for answers to that one.......as an aside all Aussie male visitors of late have been deported upon arrival at swampy....dunno why LOL

None...absolutely no chance. Omicrom has ended all hope for the forseeable

Out of control completely in the UK

Extremely transmissable

 

 

I don't think anybody here can give you the answer that you want,

 

Today is 13th of December and you will be going to Pattaya on the 16th of January. That is 34 days away and the Thai government can change the rules at least 10 to 20 times during this period and probably will.

 

They are the ones who say what, where and when which places will be legally open for business. It is quite probable that many bars, restaurants etc will be open for business anyway but just because they are open does not mean that they will be legal.

 

Nowadays in Thailand you pays your money and you take your chance.

So it looks like a walk to Hungry hippo for lunch, hopefully seeing something open on LK Metro on the way ????

SOS........shot on sight...keep away sport

My friend works at Beer Hub, so I see that'll be open

 

Did the Hopf, or Hopbrauhouse on soi 13 and beach road survive? Did Hooters?

 

Edit: I was coming 22 Dec but just cancelled due nothing open, I'm trying to get myself excited that 16 Jan will be better lol

So they want rich tourist to come and invest hundreds of thousands of dollars but nowhere to go and unwind and have a drink, ogle the bar's birds after they worked hard to invest all day and no night play? if this is the case, then i'm not coming...

Let us not panic yet......

For me when I was a holiday farang here I didn't like to plan out my day like some kind of schedule, I liked just walking around and seeing what was open and if it looked inviting, I'd visit.

I had the plan of not starting drinking too early!

I don't want to go off topic but the fear in your post made me quote something.

 

"Has anyone died of Omicron variant?

No, as it currently stands no-one has died as a result of the Omicron variant."

 

So not a single person in the entire World has died of, or even with the Omicron varient....why so scared?

I normally do the same, but it's been 26 months away lol

 

Plus I don't want to go somewhere only to find it closed...so planning a schedule first day, at least I know what survived

He keeps putting the prices up so regulars are going elsewhere

Because lots of people will get it and a small percent will be hospitalised.  A small percent of lots is enough to fill hospital beds to the extent that lots of other conditions won't be treated and people will die.

Did Hooters?

Not seen myself (was in Pattaya last month) but from the news it reopened last Friday.

https://www.facebook.com/hootersasiaofficial/

And proof that Google is not omniscient.

("temporarily closed")

 

Haven't seen Hops Brewhouse open but also no sign on mothballing or tear down. Very unlikely that they will fail.

Trust Facebook? Says open:

I read recently that Hooters has reopened,

So Irish Rovers, Beer Hubb, Hooters and Hopf. That should keep me busy for awhile ????

Plenty of "restaurants" open now so no problem getting a drink. They were rammed on Sunday night with people watching the F1 race. But bars/a go gos, who knows.

I wouldn't put any money on the bars in Pattaya reopening next month, the Pattaya-hater in Government House will find some excuse to keep them shut. Further evidence of his intention to stuff the city is its absence from the list of approved New Year Countdown locations.

I think that if this government has a view, it is to take this opportunity to once and for all,  'clean up' the down market parts/reputation of Pattaya , with the support of the Chon Buri Governor, and maybe even, less overtly,  the Pattaya Mayor  No bad thing in my view, but that will not be popular with some on here. 

If all these bars are open now I might as well come earlier after all. In fact if 5 star bar on the beach and Bodega bar are open on 2nd road that's not much different to my pre-covid routine ????

They can't all be restaurants, expect a crackdown soon

Do you really plan a month or more ahead where you will drink and eat in Pattaya in your extended holiday?

Personally when I go out then it's something like: Let's go to Soi 6. And then: Lets have a look in here and maybe an hour later: Lets go out and visit another place.

Too much planning doesn't make it any better.
