Pattaya Reports

Yes, this virus could be a game changer again and possibly could extend the restrictions on nightlife and alcohol sales. This virus is 500% more contageous than the Delta variant and is expected to spread to all continents. Here we go again.

Wow so now it's "This virus is 500% more contagious than the Delta variant" sounds like fear porn when we are just learning about it. Maybe after some true data and not just speculation chicken little and the boy who cried wolf can get together for a 500% crisis alarm.

I can also attest to P72 being a great place to stay. I've never eaten at their restaurant but their rooms are clean comfortable and never had any issues with guests coming to visit me at the hotel.

Particularly if you stay in the "new" section which is on the other side of the Soi from reception. The rooms are newer and you take girls up with out showing ID. With the way Walking Street is at the moment I don't know if I would stay there as you may be well away from the action. I have had breakfast once and it was OK but I only remember eating because of the girl serving me at the time.

Anyone know if Lolitas on Soi Chaiyapoon is still open?

Lolitas is closed, I will need to take another look at the front of the building my drive by in the past it looked from the front that it might be closed for good? As for the Soi also known as Soi Potholes it is still there with potholes recently filled in a bit the bars are still closed except for one or two sneaking around many of the massage places are open but the popular Amon is closed that is during my drive daytime.

Interesting comment as I just saw a noted expert on the virus who frequently appears on US tv who said that the virus does not appear, based on available data, to be any more contagious than other variants. He specifically criticized European leaders for over reacting to the South African variant a bit like your "500%" statement.

So, I did not make up the up to 500%. This was on the news. The concern has come over the fact that the virus has 30 variants making it very concerning to scientitsts. Right now, in the US, they are looking at possible boosters just for this in the event our regular vaccines don't offer protection. It is too early to tell but our hopes are that the virus be contained. Currently, many countries have already implemented travel bans from South Africa and 6 African nations or more due to the concern. This was not done for other variants like Lambda.

This article was taken from a respected news source:

It is distinct from other variants in another critical way: There's a greater number of mutations. Tulio de Oliveira, director of the Center for Epidemic Response and Innovation in South Africa, said there are more than 30 mutations in the spike protein, the part of the virus that binds to human cells, allowing it to gain entry.

Scientists say omicron could be more transmissible and better at evading the body's immune defenses, making vaccines less effective. The WHO said Friday that preliminary evidence suggests an "increased risk of reinfection" compared to other variants.

Again, lets just hope the virus gets contained or tamed down and Delta remains the majority.

Official statement of the WHO:

This variant has a large number of mutations, some of which are concerning. Preliminary evidence suggests an increased risk of reinfection with this variant, as compared to other VOCs. The number of cases of this variant appears to be increasing in almost all provinces in South Africa. Current SARS-CoV-2 PCR diagnostics continue to detect this variant. Several labs have indicated that for one widely used PCR test, one of the three target genes is not detected (called S gene dropout or S gene target failure) and this test can therefore be used as marker for this variant, pending sequencing confirmation. Using this approach, this variant has been detected at faster rates than previous surges in infection, suggesting that this variant may have a growth advantage.

I have heard exactly the opposite from other well-known experts. That it absolutely is more contagious, but whether it is more deadly is still unknown. In any event, now is not the time to panic.

Other news: the Federal government has confirmed that January 16 is the day that bars are open nationwide. But Pattaya is attempting to open bars sooner, maybe December 12. Bummer for me, since the ladies will be booked up when the bars are open.

Actually, the wording is "no earlier" than Jan 16 and there is no guarantee with that date either. Especially with Omicron in the news. Phuket and Bangla is already in some heat. I received some good intel on the bars, clubs, alcohol, and nightlife situation. All you have to do is Google "largest liquor owner Thailand" and "largest landlord Thailand. " And if people are smart, they will make the connection with the answer to those search terms and the connection to the incoming Chinese investors and developers. When you have monopoly, you can just sit on it, while driving out whoever you want. If you want them out, then make them go out of business. You control all the most important assets, and it's not in the structures or bars these business owners think have value. It's the land. Shit! Even the McDonald's guy figured that one out.

I would suggest Dream Hotel and P72. Never had any problem with them.

Thanks Geyser, Frances and others.

New corona detected in South africa. The thai pass excluded the 8 african countries now. Everything else remains same. 60+ country nationals are allowed to enter Kingdom of Thailand as per new rules. In short, nothing changed for most of us. Hope, the virus does not spread too much before my planned visit in January.

So, I had 2 ladies over to drink, but my ex hung around to get some tequila, too. Of course, she completely cock blocked me, basically sat on my lap the whole time. The ladies were dying to get naked, but didn't want my ex to get angry, so no fun there.

We drank until the fireworks show ended. The only issue problem was an issue with their bar where some moron insisted on taking short time ladies for 4 hours, IE long time, but only paying for short time. No one knew how to deal with that. Calls were going back and forth, until the customer just gave up and left.

My ex dashed out early to go to some party to chase Thai boys. She did post a photo of herself with the new lady coming to see me today, she's a cutie. Apparently she had a sponsor when she worked bar before, but due to Covid, she is working factory now and hooked up with a Thai boyfriend. Anyway, I was pretty tired due to my travels, and not in the mood for further fun, so I had to push the two remaining ladies out the door, although I am sure either would have appreciated a long time "date."

Tonight, I am having a bar mamasan come over. She is past her self-by date as a bar girl, but still okay. I see she has 1,000 Facebook friends from abroad, and who knows how many guys on Line, so when the bars open, she is going to be busy. But I am sure she will pitch me to be the Girlfriend tonight, since she knows that it's not 100% sure bars will really open.

Of course, not being stupid, I don't commit to any bar girl. I am rotating the ladies, and as long as I don't do anything stupid, I can have fresh (to me) pussy every day without trying the Thai Friendly lottery.

I go back today for the Pattaya Fireworks festival. My condo overlooks Pattaya bay, so some ladies have asked to come over and watch the fireworks from my condo. My ex is coming back from Samui with me, so she will be staying for the fireworks, too. Which means the visiting ladies won't be boning me.

My ex will be living with her new Farang boyfriend in February. You would think that she would be rushing to see him when she returns to Pattaya today, but she has arranged to see me on Monday, and then will come to Bangkok with me on Thursday. So, I guess she is trying to get her last licks in with me, before he officially becomes the Boyfriend.

So, as my ex settles in with her boyfriend, other ladies are beginning to jostle for pole position with me. Specifically, her twin sister, and now her attractive young civvie niece is making noises. The twin sister will be going to Phuket with me in 10 days. But, yeah, if you are wondering how to find new ladies, friends and family of a current barfine may be fair game.

So she could fool around in other days of the week but you shouldn't? LOL.

The official position of massage lady #2 is she had zero customers.

But I don't pretend to understand bargirl logic.
