bbi1 2197 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Walking St Discos on New Years Eve 31st December - have they been all traditionally packed out big time in the past? Way more than any other normal day? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan 59547 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Discos? Are we in the 70's is John Travolta doing a new Saturday Night Live version. I take it you meant Clubs. My experience last year was all of walking street was packed even with the Covid issues. Sorry I forgot Lucifers is a Disco my bad.

Yes, I mean nightclubs. Wonder if the cops will stick with their crazy 2am shutdown tomorrow or will they be a bit more relaxed and have some holiday spirit.

jacko45k 42150 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 It was a long time ago but I went into a GGB to get away from all the crowds trying to get to the pier for the fireworks.... I would expect most people to be outside around midnight rather than inside..... For me, I was getting nowhere and feeling very worried by the danger and crush around me and decided 'hell I saw plenty fireworks in November'.... the New Year came in without a mention in Mistys!

Furioso 490 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I went out last night everyplace was insanely packed, I yelled to my friend, who's lived here for many years, "if it's this crazy tonight, just think what tomorrow night's going to be like!" but he couldn't hear me because of all the loud music blaring. Tonight will probably go down as one of the busiest, craziest, most jammed pack New Years Eve ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimTripper 1411 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) I wonder if there are Chinese tourists packing the place. I would probably avoid that as the spike in china covid is huge right now and they are not quarantining at the airport. It’s not really something you have to do to enjoy the holiday. There are outdoor venues around. Edited December 31, 2022 by JimTripper 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are outdoor venues around. The Chinese tourists are not expected to start coming in numbers until after the 1st week of January.... China said on Monday it will lift its quarantine requirement for inbound travellers starting from 8 January. It will also resume issuing visas for residents to travel overseas.

Popular Post kinyara 1586 Posted December 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) I think you're asking the wrong people, get the vibe we're more of a Bamboo Bar ageing groover demographic than the Hip-Hop club homies of Walking Street.

Furioso 490 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Welp, I ended up going to Pattaya Beach to watch the fireworks. Just slightly off topic I moseyed through Soi 6 and looked at A LOT of bar girls. Man, all I see them do is eat and yell and most are fat. Then I go down to the beach and that crowd had hardly any fat girls..of course the girls were mostly with their husbands or boyfriends but them girls were so nice to look at after walking down the Soi I'll never walk down again. The firework show was fantastic, the best one I've ever seen..I really enjoyed the fire lamps, amazed nobody got torched. All in all it was a good time. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in a GGB once and a tour group came on, like 20 or more... A server asked me to shuffle down into the corner so they could all sit together and I told her it wasn't happening! They surrounded me and smoked horrid smelling cigarettes and drove me out! I bet the place was empty after that group had their one drink and left. I expect it was packed in town last night, even afternoon traffic was bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Japanese and Koreans but never Chinese Probably part of the package experience. I remember in Singapore hearing a tourist saying his package tour included a visit to Bugis Street and thinking "there goes the neighbourhood". Probably same for Chinese tour groups in Pattaya- included a visit to a naughty girl show. One suspects the gogo will regret allowing it.

Oddly, I thought the 30th was packed and then the 31st wasn't I was in one walking street gogo bar and was the only customer at 9:30. Before that Pinup wasn't full either. Seemed to be a lot of Indians and Thais in the streets, not many farangs. The beach was packed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
