Tourist buses no longer stopping at Mike.

So, where are the tour groups going to do their shopping now?

They are all waiting for terminal 21 to open .

They were double-parked outside as usual when I went past last Thursday. Did they stop since then?

Oh. I was sitting in Kiss restaurant last night and the parking lot had a load of tents and stalls on it. No buses. I am obviously mistaken in thinking that it's like that every night.

No head count money at the major malls, Central Festival and Terminal 21(when it opens). You would also be amazed at the reduction at the Pattaya Market south of town. I have leaped to the conclusion they no longer pay head counts either thus, no more bus groups(far fewer).

As far as I know it's the other Mike they go to: the smaller older one near the corner of Tai. That's where they double-park anyway.

No buses at Mike Shopping Mall again tonight. Back in the day it was full of tour buses every night of the week.

 

The small one under the hotel was never much at the best of times.
