The Hammer2021 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Rather than focus on negativity about bars closing, and that 'have closed recently' wouldnt it be more positive and more useful to talk about which places have opened or reopened? So: Is the opening of your favourite bar or even a new bar happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Danderman123 Posted December 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Yeah, some bars have opened recently. I am hoping that the police don’t close them all, if the bar doesn’t have a restaurant license. Because Covid won’t infect you while you are drinking if you have some Pad Thai on your table.

Espanol Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Yes, many bars, gogos and clubs are now open, not even pretending that they are restaurants. But better not mentioning names because they could have problems. Anyway, anyone walking around soi Buakhao can see many. And not only there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champers Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Barracuda Bar now open on Naklua Road. Not a favourite of mine but pleased to see they haven't perished. Further up Nina and Coffee are hedging their bets. 3 in 1 and a kettle? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyExpat57 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 My two favorite places in Pattaya have been open for a couple of weeks. There was only one speed bump involving Bangkok BiB's flexing their puny muscles, and that was ignored the next day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirineou Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Many places have closed never to open up again . and many people have lost their jobs and investment. In Khon kaen where we are by the entrance to a parking lot for the morning market there was a mom and pop restaurant that was there for many many years, part of our routine was to go shopping at the morning market , then afterwards put the groceries in the car and go have lunch at that restaurant. Sadly, with covid, it has gone out of business and now the space is a rice wholesale place. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to sell to some locations in NYC - and knowing the owners, when the doors were shuttered everyone felt bad that they went out of business - - which was true, but they were happily enjoying retirement in Mexico..

champers Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Work ongoing at the Beer Garden suggesting that an opening is imminent. Many of the bars leading to it have re-opened but the boxing ring is no more. Tahitian Queen advertising a mid Jan opening. 15th or 16th; can't recall which. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are making enough money turning a blind eye in Bangkok They may not think so... I really don't know how the different regions of responsibility are separated. I am sure I have herd of nightlife places being subjected to up to 3 different attempts at shakedown. From Pattaya Police, Provincial Police (Chonburi) and Bangkok Police. Probably just try it on, if they get paid off, well and good, if not, try next door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guinness is something like 800B a keg more expensive that before covid, so expect to pay over 200B a pint. Think it was 220B in Caddyshack. a few days ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not really seen further commentary on outbreaks, like we had before, listing areas where clusters have been found. My recent ride down soi Buakhao had me concerned as no measures or restrictions seemed evident. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
