Probably more bars now than before COVID.

 

I suspect there are fewer Farangs in Pattaya, but double the Indians, and countless Chinese.

 

Too many tour buses.

The usual M.O. is 2 minutes perhaps to see if you buy a drink for her...if not, you will be left lonely?

Correction...Alone and sussing out who else is available.

Besides, the drinks are so cheap in there, it hardly matters!

Do you think she'd love your looks and want to sit there and listen to the usual blather she has to be paid to pretend to listen to?

This topic is specifically about bars that have closed, or are up for sale.

 

I saw a good number around Soi Buakhow yesterday.

The bars in Pattaya and I suppose bars everywhere started to decline with the upcoming of smartphones and social media.
Where anyone could go to Pattaya, Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza, etc. and have a lot of fun, you will find nowadays the whole staff staring at their smartphone and looking for customers on their phone.

Do you expect them to give you attention for free?

I'm not looking for attention, in fact often i will avoid eye contact so they don't come over. I mostly go for a few drinks and a look

And better yet is you don’t buy ladies drinks.  Just drool for free.

I believe the term in Pattaya is called Cheap Charlie.  You’re not alone.

Well if you go to a GoGo during happy hour you can get a draft beer at a discounted price like 69 baht.....

 

And if you buy no lady drinks and leave no tips....69 baht is a ok price to pay to look at girl the girls....

 

I hate spending over a 100 baht in a GoGo bar.....That cuts into my budget to much....

When I only spend 69 baht that leave me 10 baht for a baht bus...

But if I spend 100 baht then there is no money for a baht bus and I have to walk home..

They can please themselves in my opinion...if a girl asks me for a drink my answer is tamada...same price as I am paying...that I have no objection to... plus it sorts the girls who are genuinely interested from the drink sluts.... don't be a mug mister Money and give it a go

Not loads (well occasionally) because I’m not a Cheap Charlie.  
 

But then some guys don’t have a choice.  Or there just freeloaders.

Scuba is not alone.  Coming out of the woodwork now.

 

You really believe they’re interested in you?  You sound like a newbie.

That's probably one of the weirdest replies this year.  Ladies drinks are not (and never will be) tamada price (ie: price you are paying)....You've been around long enough to know that.

And you are probably not long enough around to comprehend that with tamada he meant a regular drink

49 years enough for you.

I speak fluent Thai so yes I do know what 'tamada' means. And once again ladies drinks in a bar are not regular price. But anyway thanks for educating me..not.
