Current restrictions in Pattaya ?

[tgw]

does anyone know where I can find the list of current restrictions in Pattaya ?

 

before Covid I used to go to Jomtien Beach at night and setup a small BBQ - I wonder if that is now again possible or not ?

[chicowoodduck]

Just stick to your room and not come to Pattaya City….unless boredom is your new best friend? ????????

All the GGBs/nightclubs  are still shut and bars have to close at 11pm. Masks being worn in Malls. I am sure you could set up a BBQ, but if you were openly drinking beers late the police might well see if they can get you to pay up. Things are pretty open really.

Not true, Plenty of Gogo bars on Soi LK are open, serving drinks and have lots of ladies, they just aren't dancing the same as before, but they will jump on stage fully dressed and dance around for a few minutes. Many of the GCs are open also.

Yes and a few on Walking St, but they aren't GGBs (as we know them)  are they. Not sure what they are, but are they worth the prices? Feedback I got was not.

Not so in Jomtien. Been very openly drinking on the beach for a full year without incident. Police would drive or walk by without a glance. The beach has been open since for many months and beach chair vendors been openly selling beer and people openly eating and drinking everything. Also scores just setting up their own picnic with food, beer, whiskey.

 

Again, not sure about Pattaya proper but Jomtien Beach wide open for months.

Well, I was commenting on your statement "All the GGBs/nightclubs  are still shut".  The doors are open, music is playing, the bars are serving drinks, ladies and are available for chit chat and more same like before. and the girls occasionally hop on stage and dance around in their sexy street clothes.

To be honest there are really very few restrictions in Pattaya. The business lobbies have won the day .

Many establishments are openly violating covid restrictions without  fear of prosecution .Little wonder Thailand has reverted to level 4 with 18,000 plus infections per day .

These are restaurants, not Gogo's or GC's

One on Soi Diamond.

Haven't been there on my own this year. But a friend reported in detail about a week ago.

Not suitable for the forum.

Windmill on WS is open.  What else is there?

[tgw]

Have you been on LK Metro at night?  At least 5 gogos are open, music playing, drinks being served and ladies available.

Restrictions vs actual

 

No bars open - all bars open relabled as restaurants 

 

ATK before entry - yeah right, at most temp check ok

 

No GoGo's - see first point, now restaurants

 

Masks everywhere - except in bars

 

No alcohol before 11am or between 2pm and 5pm - enforced at Hooters and 7/11, all other bars serving no problem

No, was down a couple of weeks ago in the afternoon and only a few bars were open.

Friends who live in the area say it's busier at night, but go-go's as they were are not open.

Don't tell secrets!!

I avoided to name any place.

 

LK Metro: after New Year when I was there some gogo places had an open door without the usual pole/music stuff.

Now it seems the doors are closed and the gogos open

So many bars and other places open but some desperately waiting for customers.

Even on Soi 7 there are a few big bar areas open and girls sitting and waiting.

Completely lacking  customers.

Pattaya and particularly Treetown/Soi Buakhao/LK are under daily "surveillance" of video bloggers.

Sometime they will bump into each other.

Did they give a date when this would stop or will they keep this to get rid of a lot of gogo and bars to change Pattaya?
