Walked  to Soi Bukhao last night.

Very busy 

The Billabong bar was so packed with people you couldn't even get in the door, and there's no door anyway but that's besides the point,

and why would I want to anyway 

 

I really can't see the point of going into a very crowded bar and stand there ,drinking ,what's the point rubbing shoulders 

Who said the bars were not doing good ,every bar had customers but some bars were packed out ,billabong ,I rovers etc 

 

I could not  walk through the streets there without bumping into people and secondly please ban the motorbikes driving through,it's a pedestrian area ,very annoying having bikes bip their horn from behind 

Walking through those crowds gave me anxiety 

 

I assume that was your daily rant? You are never going to get away the motorbikes from there. Much better to find another more peaceful place to walk.

Thought you were done with this area. Staying in Pattaya or Jomtiem? I 'm in Jomtiem. Like it near the beach.  Good to see the busy part of Pattaya from time to time though.

Oh please don't be a party pooper

Meet interesting people,do things discussion of statistics and other academic subjects you can relate to

I was in the I rovers last night ,they had soccer on the TV 

Another old guy obviously from the UK said in his broad accent something about the soccer 

 

I immediately said about his accent 

He said he was Georgidian and we had a interesting conversation about linguistics until he suddenly had to leave he had health problems but I told him all mine .

Beautiful person unfortunately he was sick and old and had to leave immediately

I saw on Facebook a soi 6 bar for sale for 20m+ wasn't long ago they'd struggle to get the standard 1m baht. That's where they seem to make the money on selling the business rather than Beers 

There is a huge different between the asking price and what they will maybe sell it for.

I am sure there are still lots of guys out there who love the idea to own a bar and have too much money.

But more realistic people, like people who own other bars in that area, wouldn't pay so much.

Can't wait for the OP to be on his flight back home

Of course way over priced as are bar buildings that are for sale, 3 story shi te building in a shi te street for 30m or something like that, gives a laugh though

Maybe you could explain what was "racist" about Pattaya57's, clearly, non-racist comment?

Ok, no I am not a party pooper. This sounded much more positive, without all negativity of crowded places. 🙂 Who played, and who won?

I think buildings, including land, are a different thing.

I know a lady who owns two buildings in Soi Cowboy. I imagine one day there won't be any bars anymore and someone wants to buy the land to build another skyscraper...

Yep there was one yesterday than agent had on single unit....25 Million in Soi 6

 

Current rate puts that at £574.000. These people are utter roasters

I'm keen to know how his rant at Phillipine airlines panned out lol over the "change fee"

 

Motorbikes are all part of the Pattaya scene and will never change

Whilst "booming" is a bit of an exaggeration is was noticeably busier on Friday night (and Saturday based on the OP).

      I wasn't referring to the bars when I said Pattaya is booming.   I have no idea how the bars are doing, nor do I care.   Pattaya is booming.

Last night was Saturday night.

Check again on Monday to Thursday.

Obviously, some bars make money. And some even have money left after they pay the rent and all the other expenses.

But the good times, when almost any bar made money, are long gone.

 

Heavy flooding in that area last night.

Me thinks georgieboi is telling porky pies....again.

Thankyou Ralfy for asking ,you do have a heart after all and that's why I love you because I know you have a good side to you.

It's now better ,I called a telehealth  doctor and he prescribed me antibiotics.

 

I had no idea you can now call doctors instead of going to see them personally, apparently started during Covid

No !!!

They wouldn't budge 

They sent me a reply saying they were investigating if I was told the fee BEFORE I agreed to it (change dates) 

So I let it go

Yeah, as expected, as they have different prices for different day, even for different times the same day in rare cases. Unfortunately, but that´s just how it is.

so do you often just go out to see how many customers are in the bars,  then go home to tell everyone.  ?
