Popular Post jack71 Posted December 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2021 I came here 6 months ago and it was a real ghost town. Everything closed, dark streets, no one driving down beach road- it was so weird to see Pats like this. I remember seeing some guys fishing off the main beach opposite the hilton. I just visited Pats now and see many westerners drinking beers in the bars on beach road. Food available vinyl signs out the front. Bands playing at 2 venues (lisa on the beach). Busy in that bar- full of punters. Tree town area near Soi LK metro area has many bars full of old guys drinking tonight. Feels like things have got back to normal. Tree town restaurant area full of customers. If you think Pattaya is not going to return to its normal self soon you are misguided. If the govt allows P4P (pay for play) venues/ gogo bars on walking street and soi 6 to open mid Jan I think its going to be really busy and back to normal then. Come and enjoy pattaya now before plane loads of chinese/ russian/ indian tourists start to arrive... 9 1 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post WEBBYB808 Posted December 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2021 It's too late, already full of balding men, Koreans, Japanese, Germans, Russians, and more. It's already more men in town than ladies. Some bars are reaping the situation, be it authorized or not. Insomnia was open , and Ibar. Plenty open for sure, but its too many men, internet money, and lots and lots of balding men. Lol. Guess we will have to wait for more ladies to return. As its all in one central area now, and too crowded. 2 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it some foreigners in Thailand act xenophobic towards other foreigners? Or is this part of the reason some Thais refer to us a dirty farangs?

ChC1 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 I certainly envy baldies. Nice shining smooth head make you want to touch, little maintenance unlike me paying big to barbers twice monthly (outside Thailand!), attracts attention instantly in a seedy bar as ladies run around the shining baldies like moth around a lid light bulb. Baldies have it all. It is something you fully headed don't understand. Ok If I have insulted any baldies or ladies in paragraph one please excuse me. I am not a good joke teller. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokstick Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 hello, why bars are open in Pattaya ? I haven't read anywhere that they can really open ? Only restaurants can sell alcohol it seems ? Can you confirm ?! Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the experience of interpreting and enforcing laws in general, including frequent 'misunderstandings', things will get more and more open until for whatever reason someone outside of pattaya stops it. Self regulation is not strenght of the country, not to speak of pattaya, esp if money is moving in envelopes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danderman123 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I don't understand the rules now, so I suspect there is going to be a lot of police activity targeting bar owners who likewise don't understand the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buakhao is busy purely because it's open although probably temporarily as most shouldn't be serving alcohol. So basically if Walking St opens and agogos open again it will be full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debatable how many are real tourists and not expats let off the leash. Potential of Walking Street so great that they are demolishing the bar areas. Split the punters into 2 areas and everything gets busier. TVF economics at its finest. What do you think happens after peak season, middle of January?

You're as negative as Leaver, the disgruntled one, if no covid there's a low and high season so of course it varies how busy, this Jan no idea, depends how the virus is doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
