Bangkok Reports

[Detwing1]

At least in Pattaya most of the Thai bars, discos, lounges, after hour shisha bars don't open or get going until after 11 pm. The 11 pm rule is possibly to control the Thai.

Nice to hear BKK is opening up again. Road trip time.

On a side note, some of these FL's must be / have been receiving good support from overseas farangs.

Had a drink with one FL last night who was actually quite hot, who told me it was only her second day back to "work" (believe it if you want). She was really proud of her brand new iPhone 12 pro max and showed me some of it's features. She also had an expensive hand bag, dressed well and was telling me about how nice her condo is, which for a woman from Issan, sending money back home to support a kid, seems phenomenal.

I ended up buying her a couple of lady drinks and had some interesting conversations with her. Apparently she has farang contacts all over the west (US, Canada, EU).

Didn't take her home. Didn't get a quote. Just bought her a couple of lady drinks (quite cheap) and tipped her a small amount for her time. I was upfront with her at the beginning about not wanting to take her home.

Well, on a positive note, most bars seemed to be open last night.

Checked out Soi 4 and Nana. Open.

Checked out Thermae. Open.

Didn't have enough time to go to Cowboy.

Some decent talent around and not many punters, but everything closes at 11 (apparently the BKK strain of virus only comes out after 11).

Very few tourists. Mainly guys staying here long term.

Cowboy go go's Saturday night, many closed, those open had few punters. The only watering hole that was anyway busy was old style music venue Country Road. The clientele as far as I could judge were ex pats who admittedly while not all mostly find the lady drinks hustle, bar fine, 2 K to 3 K ST go go scene a been there done that experience.

Very vague bud, nana plaza all strip clubs open, or how may bars open more then half or just the bar on ground floor, because I heard some or all open on March 2 or 4th, thanks for any information on! Stay safe have fun!

What happens if you take both the Pfizer and the Moderna vaccines. Do you get double protection?

Hopefully criminally charged. People should be embarrassed for trying to double up on doses while others likely much needier that they are haven't received a shot. The most disgusting story I have read so far are the 2 Florida women who dressed up as old ladies to get to the front of the line for their shots.

You get scolded for Bogarting the vaccine.

The last time I got scolded for Bogarting was when I was sharing a joint! Oh the memories.

You get scolded for Bogarting the vaccine.

I can't imagine that anyone has done a meaningful test on that. They are individually 95% effective and they use the same technology.

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a different type of vaccine and may be a good mix with either the Pfizer or the Moderna vaccines according to some scientists. Who can really say?

Thai air have flogged off all their long haul jets so are not expecting things to pick up any time soon. Along with BA and other airlines. They were verging on bankruptcy.

It needs to be taken out of state control. The brand has value and owns valuable slots but unless its privatized and a Willie Walsh or a Michael O'Leary takes the helm it's a black hole sucking in billions of baht.

It is sad to hear CH is continuing with their errant ways of before the pandemic. Good management would have told the girls and the wait staff to treat the few existing customers like kings. Instead, it sounds like they are performing a variation of the practice that when business is down raise prices / lower service.

Oh well, I gave up on CH a long time before the pandemic arose when their best-looking girls started to drift away and the bar did not bring in quality girls to replace them. Service also began to decline a long time ago with the advent of entry drink requirements, lady drink & coke double orders, and other customer unfriendly innovations.

I look for 2 things in a Go Go: 1) pretty girls and 2) friendly attitudes. Pricing does not really concern me as evidenced by my liking of a couple Pattaya Agency Go Go's with high barfines. It impresses me in a very negative way when a Go Go presents fugly girls dancing nude on stage or when the girls in general appear to be all about gouging the customer for every little thing. I really hope CH gets its act together by the time I return to BKK because it was a great Go Go, my favorite when it first opened and for a couple of years after, but I would not bet on it.

Everything you said and (never happened to me) but seen them doing it, charging a cover charge! I've got lucky multiple times always just kept walking before they ask, but I also was done when I got attitude when I refused double lady drink, a real shame it was a fun club!

Exactly, the young are being hit bad. New mutations are expected anytime. And as is said a covid free world is not expected any time soon. Its here to stay for ever. With mutations that will defy vaccines, until vaccines are modified to cope with deadly mutations if such a thing is possible.

Covid has always been with us. Covid is one of the main virus behind the common cold. Covid-19 is a very deadly form of the Covid virus. Every time a virus mutates it does not always get worse. Infections rates are dropping all over the world. I am confident that it will be a few years before the Wuhan lab lets out another killer strain of the virus. Relax, the world will return to normal soon.

And how many non-sex workers in Thailand do you know to base that assumption on?

You do realize Thailand is a military dictatorship right? OK it may be called something else but that's what it really is. The common people have no say in it. Some like to travel and millions have someone who works in a tourist related industry, others are scared of covid. The real reason Thailand will be super careful is because those in power want to stay there. Country stays closed cases low = they maintain their positions and keep lining their pockets. They open the country up and maybe it turns out ok but if a massive covid wave hits there will be protests and they could be ousted from power. They care nothing for the plight of the common people, but like most politicians do whatever it is that keeps them in power the longest.

Come to think of it. I may have erred. The people that want to keep Borders shut are the Farangs in Pattaya. Read Thaivisa most want to keep Borders closed.

About Thais- polling says keep it shut too. Not want catch Covid from dirty Farang.

Just read there is a new New York mutation.
