"Farewell-Tour"? Not sure.

[swissie]

Just back from my Pattaya holiday. As usual I stayed at Soi Post Office/Soi Yamato. Was surprised how many businesses have survived Corona. Yes, some garage sized bars have closed, replaced by Canabis-Shops without any customers. Otherwise nothing much has changed in the area, much to my surprise.

September is not high season, but still, after 10 PM the "Garage Bars" were bare of customers. Disgrunteled female bar employees staring at their i-phones or into space. Places with live music faring a bit better but not much. Places with a seating capacity of 50 or more were considered "busy" when 10 customres remained until midnight. Well, it was "off-season" but it got me thinking............

Coulden't find any of my "Pattaya Pals" of yesteryear. As I gather, half of them went back to their home country, the other half just died over the last 4 years.
Still I had a good time, mainly because I maintained e-mail contact with certain females that I have known for years.

Not sure, but my recent visit to Pattaya may finally turn out as something like a "farewell-tour". I ask myself, is a 12 hour flight worth it to obsereve the unstoppable "shrinkage" of a former mens paradise? This coming from a guy, that visited Pattaya at least 2 times a year since 1995 until Corona hit. Not sure, time will tell.

If you describe as a good time that you see women again after 4 years which you have "known for years" then I am not surprised that you see this as a "farewell-tour".

The idea about Pattaya is that there are new girls all the time. Normally they don't get better after many years...

Open to debate. I prefer women that know what to do. Not needing any "training courses". I don't bother with "apprentices". The women I refer to are still 20 to 30 years younger than me. Some have 25 year old daughters. I share my stamp collection with them with the approval of their mothers.

Sounds like you have grown out of it then, prostitution does get unrewarding sooner or later.

Not your last, sure.  Get a wingman and go back.  And when you're in Patts act like you did 25 years ago.  Pattaya is still lotsa fun, if you have some cash.

Also up to debate. Considering the fact that I never had to pay for an expensive  divorce, I had an extremely cheap sex life.

My visits to Pattaya resemble more like "Family Gatherings", involving 2 generations. Both generations thrilled with my stamp collection.

I have a place in "Chat Pa Way". Abot 30 Km from Ratchabury in a north easterly direction. Haven't been there for over 5 years. Nice quiet place. Never anything happening. This is the world standing still. Great place for Farangs having lost their "bearings". Because: Nothing new ever happens. Time stands still.

Correction: Chat Pa Way is in a North Westernly direction. Originating from Ratchabury. Sorry. If you should get there keep me posted. PM would be OK.

So true,

It got old for me after 15 years, running around town, like a dog with two dicks.

Glad I did it all and glad that time has passed now. 

Thank you good ladies of pattaya. 

 

Ps Op,  a lot has moved to soi Buakhao area.

go there. next trip.

I am inclined to say it has simply moved elsewhere (or been pushed)....... pretty busy in the Buakhao, LK Metro and Treetown areas. Covid accelerated what was going on anyhow....similar comment could be made of say soi 7 areas.

The Rolling Stones have been on their last Farewll tour sInce 1980..

it that why you stayed at the post office.

[JimTripper]

the place appears just as you said. i dont see a big high season revival in the future. attitudes have changed as well, not just numbers.

 

the question is, where is the new place to visit?

I've same kind of feelings too but after visits to Spain, US and other places Thailand start to look pretty attractive again.

Thailand "paradise" isn't going away soon. Where else you get pretty women, half of your age? Some even want to marry you, not your wallet.

You get so much more for your money!

Even if I can afford other places why to spend 4-5 times more?

Flying 10+ h is already a pain and getting worse.

PS. 5h until take off - again. See u on Jomtien 4am. I love my early morning long walks!
