Bar closures in BKK

[brucegoniners]

Is it just me, or is closing "entertainment venues" for 15 days just a bit much?

I feel bad for all of the employees who won't be able to pay their rent this month.

And think about all the guys who are visiting here for no other reason then to patronize these establishments.

The government's request is a bit too much for my taste.

No separation of church and state in this country.

Uh, don't know how to respond to that...

Rubbish. Everything's open!! I can see Cowboy from my apartment - the neon was on, the girls were out and the mongers were happy.

Soi 11 is open - people partying

Business as usual. Go enjoy yerself

HS, it sounds like you've got a view straight into the short-time rooms above the go-gos - just how 'happy' are those punters ?

My whorin' buddy's were inbound somewhere over Guam when the chap popped his clogs. I warned them of pending restrictions. I read that NEP was closed but they have reported that it's 'business as usual' and they are headed to Pattaya today where the worst I have heard is the police only enforcing the existing 2AM shutdown on Walking Street.

Thanks! I haven't even looked since Friday.

On Friday I took a taxi to Cowboy and it was dark at 10 pm. Went to Nana and it was dark as well. Only a couple of pubs open. Had a couple of drinks in one of them, but it was sure quiet down there.
