Pattaya Reports

My opinion as I stated is the government leaders believe the spread of the Virus only comes from foreigners. They are just as racist as the Chinese who for example now in China think all blacks and foreigners are the reason the Virus continues signs saying no blacks in McDonalds while the leader denied is it any surprise.

WION TV did a pretty good job on this. Pure racism at its finest. Check it out.

I don't get it. What do they suspect people are rushing on this side to do that they are so anxious to close it off? There is nothing open except Big C. And out of all the streets on the list, mine and several others were not named. I guess you are free to come and go through those, just not the bigger ones.

The separation is to keep you guys inside so it doesn't spread to the Darkside, but they are so out of touch with reality that so many from the Darkside work inside Pattaya and can easily get infected if true and bring it back home. The Thai leaders thinking are in the Dark ages! Actually unless you go to the Darkside a lot it should have no affect on you guys in town you pretty much can go anywhere just not cross Sukhumvit to the Darkside. It hurts guys like me because there are more options for food etc. Right now I can't visit any of the Homepros or big Shopping places like Big see, Lotus, Makro. If I want Taco, I park my bike on the Darkside and run across the road to Welcome Town.

They say the reservoir is down to 5% now so water rationing will begin. Areas will have water ever other day and nobody will have water from 10 pm to 5 am everyday. First no alcohol, amd now no water! Plan accordingly. Here is the list:

If they are doing what they been doing on the Darkside there are days it is completely shut off then there are days that it is a slow drip enough if you put a garbage can and leave the tap on it will fill up this is a practice most locals use this method, of course, is called scoop and doop. There might not be enough water pressure to run it through the water shower heaters. In many of the hotels', apartments they have several large tanks as reserves when the City turns off the water management goes to the reserves and turns on the pumps to deliver with pressure many tenants don't even know the shortage.

On another website, there is a discussion comment of reservoirs, dams, these people talk about but where anyone actually seen one or large enough to service the whole area right now I hear the water is being pumped in from Chon Buri because Pattaya is empty there isn't really a so-called reservoir or dam. Here in Pattaya when it rains majority of the water going into the drains is going to the ocean Beach road. You ever been down at the Beer Garden stand a bit inside the walkway and you will see a number of drain pipes draining all the rain water into the ocean. You have drains running from Sukhumvit / Pattaya Tai under the road all leads towards the ocean Walking St. The reason when it rains hard it all floods especially if you are at Marine Seafood area.

For years while they continue to build roads and widen Beach road even the locals complain of the lack of necessary improvements one of them water!

"I don't get it" said the Jew in his Warsaw ghetto. "There's nothing open here, why are they so anxious to close it off?

I did report on this chick already, but I met her a couple of weeks ago and we hit it off. She said she used to sell wine at Big C. Non-pro, stayed with me the first night. We watched a few movies and ate and enjoyed each other. The next day when she left, she had left her jacket in my room. She went to Rayong to work a job for a few days. Her sister came from Buriram to pick her up to move back home because of the job situation in Pattaya.

She never came back to pick up her jacket, but this morning I had a message from her that said she was in town. I told her to swing by and get her jacket then. She said she would come after her 2 pm dentist appointment.

She got here and told me that her, her sister, sister's boyfriend, and cousin drove down from Kanchanaburi in the middle of the night to pick up her motorbike. It is not even 4 pm and they are already headed back. She showed me scars on the inside of her forearms. She said they are all working there packing up durian and that is what it does in the process. I asked her how much she is making and she said 400 baht per day. Yesterday they started at 2 pm and finished at 1 am, at which time they made the drive.

I am saying this to say that if there are people driving all over this country in hopes of making only 400 baht per day then you know it is a damn shame the prices some of you guys are led to believe you need to be paying for P4P.

Man Mr. E, doesn't get any simpler than that straight forward example!

Just back from Pattaya Klang, the test runs have started 15;00-18:00 within 30 minutes the traffic was backup up how bad I didn't stick around.

You want pussy you will need Mr. E for that!

Is it just me but when it comes to all the mandates and lockdown stuff funny it all lines up with what I see from the West which here in Thailand it is Fox news, I think the Governor is up all night watching for the suggestion from Trump!

Just back from Pattaya Klang, the test runs have started 15;00-18:00 within 30 minutes the traffic was backup up how bad I didn't stick around. Unless it gets really really bad I don't see them backing down it would be a complete loss of face. After letting people run wild for a month and a half now the brainstorm of Checkpoints this morning another idea they will soon open things up May 1st, the date sound familiar?

I wonder at times if these leaders weren't around what would we complain about if they came up with all the right answers all the time the exchange rate would be so weak none of us would want to come or stay? But it would be nice for once they get something right.

This pic was posted Sunday 13th April on another board, the OP said that his condo is in lockdown and no visitors allowed.

Although this was posted on the 13th, of April I've seen it about a month ago it was posted on another website tough to be sure since I can make out the Condo, but the one I saw was also posted on that brown brick wall. There were some circumstances as to why they closed the Condo and quarantine the majority of the residents.

This girl I met on Soi Bukao was asking only 1000 baht. In the future I will eliminate any girl who doesn't price herself at 1200 baht at least.

If asking prices were an indication of anything, then this guy that was asked 5,000 baht for ST should have been the happiest camper in Thailand.

Meanwhile, in 15 years the most I have ever given is 2 chicks 1500 for LT. I mostly pay 1000 - 1200 max for LT and 9.9 times out of 10 receive stellar GFE service. If a chick asked me for 1000 baht for ST, I would laugh in her damn face and wish her luck. I don't understand how you guys that like to pay so much and show these lists of requirements are coming up with such horrible service, yet I am giving them 1000 baht for all night and not requiring anything and it is no holes barred (pun intended).

She asked for 5k for 1 shot. HAHAHAHAHA. I countered 3k. She said 4.5k and this went on for 5-6 messages. By then we agreed to 3k. Also agreed to BBBJ, CFS or CIM.

Worst part, she didn't even try, just stood up and asked for money. Now I didn't come and she was as interesting as like a tree. I gave her 2000 b. And as expected she started acting like she should be getting full amount. and complete inability to give a BBBJ for more than 30 seconds, which forced me give her less.

I expect the next step to be a ban on "visitors" to condos. I'm surprised it hasn't come up yet.

She was a complete disaster. Beach road type. Raising issues with anything I wanted to do or any position. Insisting I had not showered while I was trying to make clear to her I had had all the time to shower while she had unduly kept me waiting. Pig-headed, antagonizing, and not even a hot body to show for it.

You could stumble upon girls of similarly average looks at soi 6 too but soi 6 girls could not last with such poor service. That's the difference with street and TF girls. Street and online girls can stay in business even if they are non-performers.

[Mr Enternational]

Since when is preventing people from walking or exercising, and corralling them from beaches and main avenues into buildings and back alleys synonymous with "doing what it takes"? It is making a mockery of distancing quite apart from anything else.

Of course if the aim is to make life for expats untenable it may work.

Hey. At least we are not in the Philippines or Colombia. You can not even go outside in certain places there if it is not your day. And I did report the other day a chick that stays on Thappraya saying they can not receive visitors at her place.

Not sure how life is untenable for us. I have heard nothing in the complaint department from any of my friends. It is what it is.

Maybe it is not doing what it takes. All I know is that the sickness and death rates are a damn sight better here and in the countries that are locking shit down than they are in the West.

[HorseTrader]

Now I understand why the numbers are so high in the West. They canceled school and games, but it seems they are going around like a normal day in every other area.

I'm in the west now and I can assure you that people are not going around like a normal day. Sure, there are certain people who ignore proper social distancing guidelines, but most are staying separated. Most people are staying isolated at home and only go out tor necessities or to work in the supply chain of necessities. Insufficient masks are available, so the west is using homemade masks which only limit how far their viruses will spew beyond their faces. We are seeing more and more people wearing some sort of mask, but it is still far from 100%.

I agree that the west has not imposed the Wuhan like restrictions, perhaps that will eventually prove to be necessary.

My comments about the west are based on my personal observations plus almost daily conversations with friends in USA, England, and Italy.
