Gsxrnz Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Happened to be in Soi LK in pattaya at 2:30pm today and the cops are running around en masse telling all the GoGo bars that usually open at 2pm daily to shut down and they could open at 8pm tonight. On the ride home I noticed many bars on Diana were also closed. Hope it's not a sign of things to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly related? http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/06/01/uk-thailand-politics-idUKKBN0EC11G20140601 Terminal 21 and other malls are closed due to anti-coup demonstrations. I doubt the same is happening in Pattaya. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair is fair. Aussies were the first in Pattaya. Tahitian Queen Pattaya's first go go opened 3 years after the Americans left Thailand in 1978. Sailors started visiting Thai ladies in 1624. http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2007/07/23/lifestyle/lifestyle_30041864.php Edited June 1, 2014 by thailiketoo 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vickersvc10 Posted June 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2014 I wish the cops or military would close D Boom bar near my house on Third (close to the Buffalo Bar)! Since the start of the curfew the nights have been wonderfully tranquil. Before the coup D Boom used to thump away noisily until just after 7AM. Not amusing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choochoo Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) No 1 should be going to agosgos at 230 anyways..............lol. ps. I think closing agosgso @ 11pm or so is a good thing. The girls show up for work earlier. B efore the curfew they usually trickled in en masse @9pm. Now a lot are there @ 730.

Popular Post thailiketoo Posted June 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2014 (edited) good news with luck the Thais might clean up the mess the US made of this wonderful country during there RnR visits way back. very true, Im sure the ladies were much cheaper before the Americans came, they have a lot to answer for Nope. The baht was 25 to the dollar when the GI's were here. Actually the first big wave of inflation came when the Europeans began to come in the late 1970's. Americans have nothing to answer for except building the infrastructure so you can enjoy Thailand as opposed to Laos and Burma and Cambodia. Americans built roads, deep water ports, airports, telephone system and funded and left equipment to build technical colleges that were the basis of the Thai Auto industry among others. In case you didn't know it, Thailand won the Vietnam war when you consider lives and property lost as opposed to financial gain.

Popular Post WaywardWind Posted June 1, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 1, 2014 Pattaya was never an R&R destination; there may have been some GIs who came down from their R&R in Bangkok, or AF folks from Utapao, but Pattaya was never a major destination. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pralaad Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Not sure if related but the alcohol bulk shops around me all closed for 2 days. May be have something to do with no alcohol sales during certain hours and with the lack of leadership at Pattaya station and pressure from the army they enforcing the law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any nonsensical excuse for yet another anti-America bash will do, eh. Trollin' trollin, trollin'--keep them doggies trollin' . . . . The origins of Pattaya have been discussed repeatedly ad nauseam w/ testimonials from countless witnesses. Do a forum search for the full monty. The conclusion is always the same: sadly, the good ol' US of A can't claim credit for the development of Pattaya's unique wonderfulness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
