Pattaya beer garden will not reopen unless someone buys it. very unlikely.

work going on is to clean up beer garden for resale.

somebody said they saw it open. i am incorrect if this is true.

[Longreach]

The owner has said elsewhere he intends to re-open but must first do remedial work to repair wood damage (IIRC) inside the bar.

 

The shutters have been up at times recently while this has been getting under way so may have given the impression from a distance that it was open, but not quite yet.

Whole areas are busy notably Soi Buakhao especially  Tree Town. Parts of Jomtien too and Soi 5 in Pratumnak so hundreds of bars have  opened  successfully  but the spectre  of covid  hovers

As to the PBG, I saw a post by the owner which does not go along with what you say. Apparently the tables and chairs there were left vulnerable and some wood eating bug has done a lot of damage...... Work was ongoing to fix that up and make the place serviceable for a reopening January 15th with limited hours and menu. Government actions may change that.

One of my favorites the triangle bar opened and now closed as 6 of the staff tested positive.

If 6 of the staff are positive, how many of their customers next week will be positive. and given the staff are young, and the bar's customers not so young, who do you think will have the best chance of survival?

Nobody forces anyone to drink in any bar; all the punters must know the risks and I have seen reports of some suffering the consequences when they test positive before flying home. Buyer beware.

Sure, but it's a popular past time when one is retired, and in the twilight of one's years.

As the hospital beds start to fill up, and they will, I can only see the solution here to be locking down.

Yes anyone who partook in some revelry over the season, or popped into town for a tug, has been exposed to substantial risk. The bar owners have also put their staff and families to some risk too. They had less choice I suspect.

Being that most patrons are double vacced and this lastest variant has proven to be milder unlike some i do have some optimism.

It's simply a numbers game now, with a focus on hospital capacity.  

 

"x" amount of percent of fully vaccinated covid positives will still need hospitalisation, with a percent of that percent, needing an ICU bed, with a percent of that percent, still dying.  

 

We don't know how our bodies will react to the virus until we get it.

To be honest it closed before  Covid. But the 6 to 8 bars, clubs, music  venues plus  restaurants in a small area  created busy energy  that is sadly  absent now with only one place next to the pharmacy  open now.  At the top of CB The 7/11 closed, the restaurant  next door and the two hotels including the French connection and yoga  shop all closed. it's sad and derelict  now. The lovely street vendors selling  food  and fruit have gone. It's very sad.Soi 4 Pratumnak  has suffered  a similar  fate. On the upside for Cozy Beach there are 4 brilliant  new restaurants overlooking  the sea and a new one  coming soon. The Heaven G Club  is beautifully  designed..

Yes, i agree it's sad to see a lot of it as you describe - derelict @ Cozy.

 

Soi #5 on the other side is busy enough, couple of nice little bars there to sit at on an evening people watching, resonable prices too and good variety of food options.
